~ The Kitty Thread!! ~ Take 2!

Moca






Picture of a picture on the fridge with some magnets on her.

these are not my cats (someone i went to school with, her cats), but are probably some of the biggest cats i have ever seen.

This one is about 20 pounds (and he is the smaller one )




this one is the big one at about 30 pounds :shock:



They are brothers. They are apparently healthy just huge.

OMG....i loooovvvvvveeeeee fat cats!
i know it's terribly unhealthy and all, so i have never let my kitty's get fat, but just like people, some cats are simply, well...fat. we had a friend with a cat named phud. FAT cat! huge! loved him. my sister had a cat named kitty and she was sooooo fat, her belly dragged on the floor when she walked.


suki just had a nice bath last week, finally got her back in great shape. her fur is soft and clean and most importantly ZERO clumps! monthly baths/blow-drys is what it takes.

here she is as she spends 97% of her time nowadays...


being 20 is rough...

Cute kitties! We put our old guy down in September after 19 years. Two weeks ago a facebook friend posted that he found a kitten by the side of the highway. So now we have our new kitten. His name is Tim Riley, but we call him Timmy and he's 8 weeks old. His eyes are kind of goopy, but clearing up nicely and he's packing on the pounds as if he's making up for lost time.

He's tested positive for FIV although he doesn't have any symptoms of the disease at this point. I figure he still needs somebody to love him even if he is a special needs fella, so he's part of our family now.

Does anyone know much about FIV?

i know nothing about FIV but just wanted to offer my condolences for your 19 year old kitty :(....and to say kudos to you for opening your home and heart to a special needs kitty. :thumbup:

I want this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Bmhjf0rKe8

I love that kitty. I wish my cat could do tricks. The most he does, is run and hide.

I love reading about the Cats and decided to show off mine.

Here are a few of Kitty Baby. His real name is Butterscotch, but I got into the habit of calling him kitty baby and now he only responds to that. He was a rescue cat about 1-1/2 years old and he's been with us for almost a year. He is still very skittish around us and only now will he sometimes let you touch him. He must of had some kind of trama. I love him, even tho I can't hug him like I want to.

ah, kitty-cats.

I've always loved cats, and have always been around them. except for a while after I moved to my own place. but now I'm a proud "mummy" of a gorgeous girl called Nauhuri.

she's about a year old and has lived with me since July. a lovely thing, though a bit bossy. loves fetching just about anything I throw - bouncey balls, toy mice, scrunched up paper.. no idea of her breed, she could be a bit of everything for all I know. when she moved in, she was very very dark. as months have gone by, she's been getting some blonde patches all over, especially her tummy is going light.

talking about 'light' she weighed next to nothing when I got her! :shock: she hadn't been eating well, and was throwing up what she did eat, at her old home. (long story but she didn't get along with her previous owner's boyfriend and their other cat. the other cat actually cut/chewed my girl's whiskers.) she's gotten a little weight on while here, but I can still easily lift her up with one hand. she's a little thing.

I could go on and on and on about her but I'll try not to. so here's a picture instead:



one thing I will say - she's very hard to photograph! she'll be sitting/laying down for ages and ages but when someone picks up a camera (or phone, which is all I have at the mo) she'll start moving about.

this next pic isn't very good. (yeah, it's taken with my phone) but it shows the way she usually naps. haha.



it seems that everywhere I move around in this flat - she follows. I go to the bathroom, she'll come too. or at the very least sit outside the door, where she can see me. when I wake up and go to the kitchen, she'll follow. which is lovely but I have to be careful not to step on her cause she'll act as if I've been away for a long time even though we've just slept on the same bed for hours. :roll:

also, every time time I open the fridge, she wants to climb in. every. time.




and speaking of cats. (funnily enough!) I was visiting my folks yesterday and while there, met their new miss cat for the first time. and what a curious sight she is! black with bits of white. for example the very tip of her tail is white, almost looks like a small led light. her eyes are huge too. :shock: (I'd post pics but don't have any.)

Kiti (that's her name, pronounced pretty much like 'kitty') unfortunately likes to bully my family's older cat, Okko. I'm sure he'll learn to stick up to her soon. (I think he's still getting used to having another cat around after being the master of the house for a couple years.)

oh, here's a pic of Okko. he's a gorgeous thing!



ok, I think that's enough for one post.
