First of all, hi! I've not posted here for ages. Still living with Nikita and we're good buddies :)
I didn't really know where to put this thread but figured it'd fit here. Now where to start.. ok so 2.5 years ago Nikita got an impacted anal gland, it's relatively common in dogs, rare in cats...
Hi! ..and yeah I know I disappeared off again. However both me and Nikita are well. She's four and a half years old now, seems like such a short time a go that she was a manic wee kitten.
These photos are less fancy than my photos sometimes are, didn't set up specially or anything but I still...
The weather today was absolutely lovely so I grabbed the harness and leash and spent a while outside with Nikita, she absolutely loved it and I had my camera too so pictures!

She was looking very 'Lion stalking the savannah' in the long grass.

Hi hi,
I know it's ages since I posted here, I got a new job and got busy with various things. I've been taking good care of Nikita but took a lot fewer photos and didn't upload the better ones of the ones I did take.
However, I've started getting in the swing of things again and here are a...
Hi Everyone,
I've been away from tcs for a while now (come in and read post regularily but I've not been posting).
Anyway, Nikita my 4 year old bengal female started drooling this morning (or at some point last night). She has a sensitive stomach and most likely some food allergies which show...
Hi,
It's ages since I last posted photos of Nikita, I've only got the one right now.
I'm really proud of it though, wanted to go for an old school star portrait style
I took Nikita out into the garden and she was investigating things and minding her own business when suddenly!
Squeak entered the territory
Squeak is a huge ginger tom that lives the building I live in, different apartment though, clearly. He's an inside/outside cat, mostly outside and...
Hi,
I've searched around but I can't see this posted anywhere yet.
This is really heart warming and fabulous to see.
Susan Boyle is a 47 year old scottish woman who has lived alone with her cat Pebbles now after her mother died. She took care of her mother while the mother was sick.

Right it's been aaages since I last posted pics here.
I just had a photo session today with her, both to get blurry action shots and more standard kitty pics.
Here's the girl, I think her colour has stopped changing now, she's over 3 years old now, time really does fly.
A pic of when she...
I went back to Iceland for Christmas to see my family and had a fantastic time. However while I was gone Nikita was boarded in a cattery for 2 weeks.
I got back late last night and today I got Nikita from the cattery
She meowed at me almost non stop for a few hours, very carefully went...
His name is/was Baldur (I sold him 6 years ago, he'd be 18 now, I don't know if he's still alive).
I really miss him though, he was a big character and a great horse. I got him when he was 6, back in 1996. Sold him in 2002 when I knew I'd be moving to Edinburgh in a year.
That's a very...
It's a while since I posted new photos of Nikita. She's almost 3 years old now and doing great.

Heh..
Right now, ok Nikita gets pretty excited around food. She never gets human food but that doesn't stop her from getting rather hyper when there's food around.
I don't let her onto the kitchen table when I'm eating and she knows that but she ends up starting to attack my feet instead in a...
How do yours react?
Right now there's a thunderstorm on and Nikita is in the window looking rather baffled at the heavy rain and while she clearly doesn't like the thunder and lightning she doesn't move from her window where she's observing the whole thing.
Part of it might be that since I...
I live in a house with a bunch of flats and one of the two ground floor flats has just had new people move in.
They have a huge ginger tomcat (neutered though I think) called Squeak. I took Nikita outside on a leash like I always do and we ran into him outside.
Nikita poofed out immediately...
Basically, I've just found an overgroomed spot on Nikita
She's had this before and this time around it's in a slightly different location to the others but it's a semi hairless spot on her forearm. They used to show in her armpit but this one is actually in a better location because it's...
Right..
So I was woken up at 5am last night by Nikita having a party in the kitchen.
I'd thrown away some ham late last night and Nikita had managed to get off the lid of my kitchen rubbish bin and then tip it over.
She then proceeded to 'play' with a fair bit of the trash and in particular...
I mentioned in a thread over in the "What's new pussycat" subforum that I'd got a new water dish for Nikita. For some reason she really wants to dig around in the water before she drinks.
So here's a video now:
..and yeah I don't know why she wants to drink this way either.
I was getting slightly worried because Nikita was turning her nose at her water a fair bit and wasn't drinking quite enough.
I mean she wasn't dehydrated but she was drinking less than she had been.
So I tried a few options and ended up dragging out a smallish empty fishtank I had lying...
Whining about having to stand on two feet before getting her treat.
Resigned to the cruelties of fate.
Wait, is there more?
Sproing!
A proper dignified portrait
A silly undignified portrait
She's investigating an empty fish tank that's lying on it's side there. Hence the flattened...
