Random cat chat thread

[vonnie]

Count me in. It'll be good to have other cat-mad peeps to tell when my two have done something daft, instead of boring the OH with it

Mine are rescue girls, and about 8 now. I'll post a pic when I find a good one.

Well we all talk together anyway on any cat thread that comes up, so why can't we all just chat about anything?

I know loads of people with Siamese and Orientals that are always piled in a heap like that - you'd NEVER see that with my Somalis - that's for sure!!!

Yes, the pictures in and any stories or things that your cats get up to and anything else really. Whatever!!!

And as much as it pains me to leave you I'm off to my bed cos I'm cream crackered!!

Hey fellow cat lovers!

I have 2 Siamese cats! Zander is a 2 year old cream point boy. Clio is a Chocolate tortie point girl, Zander's little sister.

Here is a pic of them settling down to watch telly with my Jack Russell Terrier Joe & my other half!

Morning cat lovers! Gina, I thought it wouldn't be long before you joined us!

I'm off to work in a minute so keep the chat coming. I normally work on Fridays at a wildlife care centre, but today I'm looking after wildlife of a different sort - 2 children aged 1½ and 3½! I usually look after them every Tuesday, but this week the other childminder is moving house and so I've had them for 3 days! That's why I was cream crackered last night!!

And how did I meet their mother? Well I sold her a kitten 15 years ago from Leyla's first litter and we've been friends ever since!! She bought the sorrel girl on the far right - Mitzi!!



By the way everyone, if this thread is going to work why don't those of you (like me) whose user name isn't their actually name tell us what your name is so we know who we're talking to! As you can see from my signature I'm Eileen!

People call me Shell which is short for Michelle. Got my first cat at 18 years old as parents wouldnt let me have one and it became an obsession.I kept getting told when you have your own house you can have what you want so I did just that

My cats still haven't grown! Since I posted the thread worrying about their weight I've been monitoring their size and they just aren't growing. I think they have peaked, they are almost a year old and are the size of everyone elses 6 month kittens (except for feeling like a brick!) I am calling them the mini-cats now.

They used to sit on each other as kittens but to be honest they will tolerate an occasional joint wash now but mostly if one tries to come up to the other one's sleeping spot she gets whacked on the head with a paw.

Jack & Sparrow are my first personal cats but I lived with 5 when I was at my mums, she has Kitty (1, Holly (, Damson (10), Pixie (15) & Taz (12) - all moggy strays we took pity on. She put her foot down a few years back at 5 though so as not to look like the mad cat lady.

my baby ragdoll Beau, he's a bit bigger now, about 5 months old, also have a long haired black moggy, who's about 6 years, don't see her much, she's a bit of a loner and sleeps in the airing cupboard all day.

we've always had cats, neither my mum nor me could not have at least one in the house

You know Shell the similarities between us is amazing! My mother wouldn't let me have anything when I lived at home. I desperately wanted a dog, but she wouldn't let me and she told me exactly the same. Strangely enough she finally capitulated when I was 18!! So I was 18 when I got my first dog. When I married and left home I got my first Afghan and then when I bought my second Afghan, giving me 3 dogs, together with a budgie, a hamster and a pair of breeding gerbils, she said "Don't you think you've got enough, why would you want more?" and I said "Cos you told me I could!" She couldn't answer that one!
