Critter's new favorite place: She is on top of a round basket with a lid, between a large bssket and a large "ball" of twigs.

Kristi, your new baby Scooter is really cute. I know you are enjoying him. It would be funny to me too to see a chipmunk scare a squirrel! <don't tell anybody we are talking about skwerls in here>

Sea, your Critter is so much like my Jujukitty. I sure hope he finds a place in his heart for Angelina.

Well she has her tense moments, and unfortunately, those involve sort of invading Critter's space and then hissing at my beloved Critter when Critter approached ME, and then Critter goes back to a corner :-(

But yes, I'd say A is quite happy to be out of that cage.

Wait til she finds out she will soon be getting a teeth cleaning! I still need to schedule that.

Kristy, your little Scooter Pooter is a doll! How lucky you are to have such a sweetie in your life. And how lucky SHE is to have such loving people save her. Kassie used to sleep ON MY HEAD and under my chin when she was tiny. (I got her when she was 3 weeks old.) I had to start wearing my hair up at night so I could turn over if she was laying on it. She did that up until about the time she turned 10 lbs, at which time I was really glad she decided she liked snuggling behind my knees or curled up by my tummy! (Costa, of course, is such a cool cat, he has to sleep at my feet. Barely touching me!)

Sea, your two are adorable. I love the otter pup look from Angelina! She's verrrry relaxed, isn't she?

(Still gotta download pix from the camera...)

Here's a pic of Kassie when she was very tiny. She's under a coffee table in my office (and it's a VERY low coffee table. She was so teensy tiny!)

And here she is, playing peek-a-boo under a table.

Peek A BOO!

Her eyes turned yellow as she got older, and then turned greenish. They are a bit changeable now, but usually more green than yellow. She had VERY blue eyes as a little tyke.

I used to call her my little cow baby, cause she has black and white cow spots. Now, she prefers to be known as the Princess.

She's such a monster now. So demanding! She just came over to headbutt me. And then wandered away to gnaw on some cat grass. Spoiled rotten, my little girl is.

I'll have to snap a shot of her doing her otter impression, too. If she'll let me.

Awwww such cute kitties. Seamonkey I've not been on in ages - didn't realize you had another one.

We added a new member to our family today. He/She/It was found by my husbands secretary in downtown Louisville. My husband thinks it's a girl, I say it's a boy. Not sure how old it is - guessing around 8 weeks - but it still has blue eyes. My 14.5lb miniature mountain lion [as our landlord calls Eddie] is TERRIFIED of this baby and won't go anywhere near it, even if it's in the pet taxi or bathroom. He's been hiding out in the girls' room all day.





No names yet as I prefer "real" names - because cats and dogs are people too!!!! - and my husband is thinking of silly ones. Told him we might as well wait till we went to the vet and found out if it was male or female.

Aw... Serate! Your new little baby is a cutie! Mountain Lion is cute, too!

Funny how some older cats react to new babies. Costa -- a BOY cat -- loved Kassie right off the bat. He would carry her from the office ("her" room, and her safe place) by the scruff of the neck. He'd bring her into the living room, so that we could be a "family" in one room. I couldn't keep him away from her. Of course, he's a super friendly and open kid.

Seamonkey I tried to tell my husband that most cats of that color are male but he won't listen. *L*

Costacat Eddie is huge but he's the biggest baby in the world. He loves little kids and won't scratch or bite them even if they pull his tale.

He is still afraid of the kitten but now has turned on me. He won't have anything to do with me and if I try to pet him he hisses at me. If my husband brings him into bed he will tolerate me but as soon as my husband leaves the room he hisses and jumps down. I've tried not spending too much time with the kitten, letting my husband do that, but Eddie still is mad at me for bringing it home I guess. *sigh*

Serate, Angel was not thrilled at all when we brought Squirt home and she definitely took it out on me. She became strictly a daddy's girl and wouldn't have much to do with me. But she got over it after about a year when she saw that the boy wasn't leaving. She still considers herself the princess and he's just the jester but at least they get along most of the time. And now she indulges me with some mommy time.

Serate, your baby boy (I agree with ya!) is adorable!! I bet Eddie will come around in time. Maybe he's hissing at you because your hands have the kitten's scent on them?

LOL Serate! Eddie sounds like quite a character! (And for what it's worth, Costa weighs 15.4 lbs!)

Kassie is my little hisser. And yeah, if I've done something she doesn't like (like oh, heaven forbid, try to bring a cat to visit), she'll hiss at me. Brat! She gets timeouts when she hisses at her momma!

Eddie'll get over it. Sometime. He just liked being BMOC and getting all the attention! :-)

Serate, we thought we had a girl with PussPuss and when everyone on the board started chiming in about orange tabbies usually being male, I had a closer look and decided she was a he. Turns out Puss was neutered young (likely before he introduced himself to us last year) but is definitely a "he." Took Colossus a long time to start considering "her" a "he." But it's one of the reasons we never found a permanent name for him - Colossus was favoring feminine names like "Tawny Kitten" and I didn't want to lock him into a name that might give him gender identity issues later. LOL. 'Course now the poor cat has to overcome the sissy issues related to having a name like PussPuss.

ETA Costa your cat weighs 15 1/2 pounds? How does she manage? We can't get Puss to keep on weight and are constantly trying to find things he likes to eat. He's a very athletic outdoor cat and has heavy muscle, but simply will not eat enough to fill out the way I think a young adult cat should. Is there something your kitty likes to eat that Puss might like?

Oh, ETA again - Serate, we went through the hissing and crying with Puss. And Puss still hasn't forgiven me for bringing Max into the picture. He's turned into a total daddy's boy. But he hasn't hissed in a couple of months and he even lets Max groom him as long as he thinks no one is looking. Mostly they spend their time playing tag and hide-and-seek. They've turned into really good friends and miss each other when they're separated. Let them work it out for themselves as long as no one's getting hurt. Max and Puss wrestle like psycho-kitties, all you see is a blur of fur and gnashing fangs and claws rolling from one end of the house to the other. Once I figured out no one was getting hurt, I just let them do it, and to this day no one has gotten hurt - they're actually just playing now, though at first it was a toss-up. If your situation goes like ours, one day your kitten will just decide to get up from his/her chair after having been hissed at one too many times, and calmly drop a hammer-lock on the big kitty. From there they'll get it worked out for themselves.

On the flip side, once they start comparing notes and playing "monkey see, monkey do" (what one cat doesn't think of, the other does and then they both do it - usually the last thing mom and dad WANT them to do), it's like having velociraptors in the house. They figure out how to open and close doors, swing off railings by one claw, and climb to ledges that are well outside logical reach.

Goddess, Costa is a BIG cat. He's got long legs and a long body. 15 lbs is a good weight for him (he had, at one point, weighed almost 19 lbs!). He's on a "geriatric" diet (sshhhh!! don't tell him!) but only cause it's a good diet for his heart.

Kassie, on the other hand, is a bit o' a porker. She weighs 14 lbs, and although she isn't built as lean as Costa, should still lose a pound or two. She's been on diet food for like forever and refuses to lose any weight.

Both cats are indoors, therefore get a bit less exercise. Both get periodic treats (not even daily), and a small spoonful of wet food each night for "dinner."

I think I just got me some BIIIIIG kids! :-)
