Kitty Corner: All about your cat(s)

Soft*Silver · 03-18-2011, 05:12 PM

I have Mr Smitty the one eyed rocking on ancient limping kitty. He was from a no kill cat shelter. I also took in a throw away cat from a neighbor who moved and left her behind. I had named her Ms Bea but she ended up being called Cat Face the Bold and Beautiful. She is the royal queen of the house and she deserves it. She protects Mr Smitty from dangers. He has no claws (I didnt do that to him) and she does.

I would love one more cat.Both of them are quite old (in the teen years) but I am going to wait. Until money comes in, I cant afford another animal...

Hey, I'd bring one to LR for you if you had a way to get it home.....just saying

Mine are already fixed, each and everyone of them has it's own story to tell

I wrote an entire huge post about my kitteh and then the pc froze and ate it so I'm gonna try again. *sigh*

I have only one kitty at home now. Her name is Mao. She showed up about 2 years ago as a "stray". (I think she had previously belonged to an elderly neighbor gentleman who passed.) She was very skittish and it took a year to coax her close enough to be petted, eventhough I'd been feeding and talking to her since she first showed up. Then a few months ago I was sitting on the porch and she jumped up on my lap. It surprised me and must have surprised her too, because she jumped right back down. She walked around for a few minutes then jumped back up again. I sat very still waiting to see what she would do, then "flop!" right down into my lap and started purring. Now if she even thinks you're gonna sit down, she's right there waiting to hop.

She's also started to venture into the entryway if I leave the door open, but that's as far as she'll go. Since it took her a year just to be petted, I know she does things in her own baby steps. She does follow every step I take if I'm outside though, just like a puppy. If I walk, she walks. If I jog, she jogs...lol

Oh, and her favorite snack: hot dogs. I've tried cutting up grilled chicken and fish for her, but she'll just turn up her nose at it. If she sees you walk outside with a hot dog though, she'll start dancing and prancing...lol

She's a fat, fluffy, happy kitty and a real sweetheart. I just wish she would tuck in the claws...lol For some reason, when she's happy or being petted, she puts her claws out and scratches you on accident. (She doesn't seem to know that's the wrong reaction to petting...lol) I've owned lots of cats, and have never seen one do that. (Other than the little "love scratches" that some cats do when kneading.) I thought at first maybe her claws wouldn't retract, but after checking her and watching, they do. So, no clue...lol

Blackie is maybe 4 years old, a pound rescue. She's (surprise) black and white, and looks like a cow. Her back is all black except for one white spot, and her tummy is all white except for that one black spot! She's extremely mellow, which I was looking for in a cat.

Then there's Misty, a 1 year old huge gray Norweigan Forest Cat. She's like a giant dryer lint ball on feet. Last summer, she looked so uncomfortable I had her shaved down like a lion. I call her the "Cog", because she'll fetch like a dog and worship us like a dog. Wherever I go, she follows. If she can't find me or the kids, she "cries". I can't believe I have to go reassure a cat that I'm right here

.

Oh, and Misty loves spaghetti night. The cat loves noodles and anything noodle-like. She doesn't eat them so much as she carries them around like her baby.

I have a kitteh that was left behind when the girl nextdoor went to jail.her name is sabbath but i dont like that name so i call her Ya. solid black cat whos tummy now sways back and forth when she runs.she was fixed as a stray so the tip of her ear is cut off.i have moved onto a rather busy street and am waiting for a break in the weather to bring her home.my back yard is where i plan to house her.its quiet and no cars.she is getting a bit grey and drools when you pet her..silly cat.

Martina · 03-19-2011, 03:21 AM

Here's the baby. i will see if i can't find an image of my other girl.

Martina · 03-19-2011, 03:26 AM

Here's the Zooster. She was keeping me company while i studied.

Her Royal Greyness the Woodipotimus is my furbaby.....Bunzalus Bunzelius was a foster baby that went to live somewhere else.

The Woolly and me are a package...love me love my cat...no choice.

Woody gets a dry diet, she has no choice in this matter. I'm convinced there's something addictive in wet cat food. Wet food makes the Woolly fat, lazy and begging.

03-19-2011, 06:38 AM

double post sorry

dixie · 03-19-2011, 09:43 AM

I agree with the dry food diet as well. Most of my kitties are usually fed dry food, indoor formula. I've discovered from each of mine that there are less tummy problems with a dry food.

WolfyOne · 03-19-2011, 02:10 PM

I forgot to mention, you can see all my rescues in my gallery

Even though mama kitty passed last Oct, her pic is still in my gallery
She was the bravest little stray I ever had the pleasure to befriend

Martina · 03-20-2011, 12:13 AM

i posted my girls' pics a few posts back. Baby was a stray. She came to me at about three months old, adorable but sick. It looked like she might have to be put down, but she started getting better, and she is healthy and happy now. Zuzu was a roommate's cat who became attached to me, so my roommate gave her to me. She is the best gift i have ever gotten.

She has food allergies though -- to grain -- and has to eat grain-free food. i feed her Natural Balance Green Pea and Duck formula.

My girls are buds and play with each other several times away. They chase each other through the house, sounding like a herd of elephants.

i have had two other cats. One was a fat and placid calico called Kismet; the other was a mackerel tabby with the softest coat in the world. Her name was B.K., which stood for Baby Kitty. She lived to 19, and Kismet made it to 20. They died within two months of each other. It was a very sad time, and i didn't expect to have cats gain. It's no fun finding housing in the Bay Area when you have two cats.

But the universe had other ideas. i think i am meant to always have two cats.
