Please post stories about yourself and your cat! They can be funny, they can be sad, they can be long, they can be short!
Wow, these are nice photos.Coco is six years old and Tink is four years old. I met Coco at the shelter when I was taking a tour of their new building. I just had to adopt her!
They both love to play! Their favorite toys to play with are feather wands and pom-poms. I got a new tunnel for them and they love to roll around in it and chase each other playfully through it.
Well, the shelter was moving into a new building and so I just wanted to check it out. No, I was not planning on getting a cat that day. Tink is the cat who causes me to say "Hey, what are you doing?" because either she's chewing on plastic, stuck in a room (which I have no idea how she gets into...lol), in the trash can or in the recycling bin.
Wow, these are nice photos.
I have to get my old photos off the old computer and then post them. So in the meantime, i will ask you some questions.
Why were you taking a tour of the shelter? Did you not plan on getting a cat that day?
Which cat causes you more time to say....."hey....what are you doing?"...lol
Those are the best, when you don't plan on something and you do it anyway.Well, the shelter was moving into a new building and so I just wanted to check it out.

Oh, cats are the best! What is really funny is that I used to have a cat named Dante that would sleep in recycling bins and eat weird things, which is what Tink does, too! So it's like there's a little bit of Dante in Tink.

Wow, Tink was lucky, but I think it was meant to be.
So she is the troublemaker?....lol.....stuck in a room or sleeping in recycling bins.....hilarious.
My Spotty is 14 yrs old, and maybe not as unpredictable.....what am I saying.....he still finds new places to sleep.....so I have to go and play hide and seek. Also, he likes to cause a little fun chaos with the 2yr old labrador retriever.....just right in front of me, so I stop whatever I am doing, and have to referee. They get along well though....so I am lucky.
Yes, you are right, we'll just have to mention this thread out there, and get more people on board. Hopefully not scare anyone off....with silly cat stories....Who doesn't like a funny cat story?. and like you said, sad ones, short ones, long ones.Oh, cats are the best!

So I guess it's just us talking again, huh? lolI think I'll just have to invite our friends over...
Today is a good Mouse day, for the first time ever he jumped up on to me when I was relaxing in a chair, spread out over my body and arms and head butted me for kisses - no lap top in sight. He stayed on my lap, snuggling in for about 5 minutes. Talk about happy, I couldn't believe it.He's only ever done this when I'm on the computer before, to get me to stop typing and when I do he instantly jumps off.

I wish we could teach the cats to take out the trash...lol. You know @MissSweetKitty I don't see why we can't teach them to empty the litterboxes, too. Then they can get their own food, open the can, pour themselves a drink. I would just lie back and relax.
Nice story.So he likes to empty trash cans, eh? Maybe you could give him a garbage bag and he could empty it and take it out for you. lolLove the picture.
Hey, @MissSweetKitty where did you come up with the name Dante? That is such a good name for a cat, very intellectual and strong.

Yeah, that would be the life.

I don't think I see any similarities in my older previous cats and Spotty. They were all so different.
When did Dante and Cora pass on? If you don't mind saying.
Ahh, sorry @MissSweetKitty for your loss. For some reason, I thought both passed away some time ago, but Cora's is still kind of recent. It probably does not matter when a cat dies, because you miss them anyhow.Yeah, that would be the life.

Actually, I didn't name him Dante. I adopted him and decided not to name him something different. I liked his name the way it was.
Dante passed away about two years ago and Cora passed away about four months ago. They were best friends. They would hug and snuggle with each other.RIP, sweetiesI love you.
[email protected] have to say it, so you will have to forgive me.....but "you can't cry over spilt milk"....lol
@cat nap there is no way Mouse is going to take the trash out - he tells me to tidy up never mind take the stuff out of his home! He does not make mess as far as he is concerned, only me and it's my job to clean it up...
@MissSweetKitty if Mouse emptied the trash it would be on to my floor to find things to play with and then it would be my job to put away everything he didn't want, all over again. He does not like mess - as above. If you want kitties to show they can do this I am afraid your guys are going to have to be the ones to do it.
One of my tabby girls could get her self a drink, unfortunately, as I found out when I got in from work on a couple of occasions. The first time was when I had a pack of 6 x 1 litre long life milk cartons on top of my tall fridge freezer. She managed to do a vertical leap from nowhere to get up to them - chewed her way round the top of every single carton so they were all leaking, and then left them to drain on to the top of the fridge and on to the floor..... no milk for me for a while. She was about 6 months at the time. A couple of years later I had my kitchen re-fitted and a new sink and new cross bar taps. I came in from work to a running tap and water pinged all over the floor.... she had obviously squirmed about to get the cross head tap to turn and make the water run - then sat stuck her front paws in to the running water to make a mess all over the floor. Nice. I had to tie a towel around the taps for about 3 weeks to stop her doing it. Her sister went for food - she broke in to the under sink cupboard I kept their box of dry cat food in and chewed her way in to a new box of food. Ate what she wanted and left the box in tatters and remaining buiscuits all over the cupboard and floor. Mouse's biscuits are in little metal tins and in a heavy duty container that he has yet to find a way in to.
Any other little food and drink menaces out there?
Stealing money would be a good trick to teach Spotty. After seeing my visa bill today, and going...ahhh.
Aw, poor Spotty, not allowed friends round or to play destructive games! Does he not get to chew up bills, or steel money off house guests or anything? He sounds very well behaved your cat. If Tink and Coco don't get up to no good I'm going to have to start worrying about Mouse's antics. Up till now I thought most cats got up to mischief on a daily basis.
I'm not sure what Mouse's adventures invovled today as I was out in the afternoon, but this morning he was pretty much bouncing off the walls until he caught sight of a tiny little spider on the sheepskin rug under his cat tree and decided he should observe and stalk it for a while. He did not have the look of a cat that was going to sleep peacefully for 4 hours...
I was thinking maybe sleeping in the recycling might indicate paper shredding tendencies?

I am not sure about @MissSweetKitty 's Tink and Coco.....they do really look well behaved in the photos.We will have to wait and see. Just because Tink likes to sleep in the recycling box.....does not mean he's wild....could just say he is into the environment and makes sure MissSweetKitty, does not forget to empty the box.
..............
Tell me if it is raining today?? April 21st.
I never linked sleeping in the recycling to paper shredding....lol....so true.

Today Mouse spent much of his day in my bed if the evidence is anything to go by: deep, round, Mouse sized indent in my duvet with added padding of two fleece blankets to build up the sides, one to the top of the bed and one to the bottom! If he'd had another fleece there he could have made himself a completely enclosed fleecy den.He's taken possession of my new house guests too - rubbing himself on their legs when in the kitchen (this may be because they've fed him the odd fish snack or two with my consent) and rolling around on his back on the floor showing off to them both. He got to explore the room they are sleeping in yesterday as it was tidy enough to be safe for him. He was very happy as they had moved his scratching post to a prime location where he can show off easily - it has been hidden behind the sofa bed in recent months.
No rain here today.Misty and cold this morning then blue skies for the rest of the day / evening. My brother called me earlier on and they had a nasty thunder storm where he is.
