Oh they all so cute. :)

I took this one last April. Fender is the one on the left, he belongs to  my brother in-law. The one on the right is not nearly as obedient. Although almost house trained now, is still much messier and much more expensive to keep!

oh yes, very nice and beautiful dog !!!

This is the genius cat in the family, able to consruct gemetric forms from the "balls of of an old chenille bedspread".  She formed perfect triangles, rectangles, etc., each to perfect measure. If not happy with the placement of the ball, she walked around then replace it.  Then the measure was to the mark on my measuring tape.  She was a loner, keeping to herself.  When other cats came in, she did not exhibit any special ability.  Only when alone or with only us did she do these things. She was very,very neat.          This is an old pic of her,  outdated Minolta Dimage F100 used for the shot.          TomD'Art.

P.S. four other cats are in the family now. Two remember sadie.

Good thread, Chris!  And Happy Halloween to all!

Wow i love how people love their animals so much. Tells people, they have such an open and caring heart. Sorry to hear about Sadie:(.  Amazing how peaceful these cats,dogs and birds are going on this page together:)

Awww!!! God you take the most amazing cat shots Esté. I simply can´t gush enough over them.

I love the cat shots...seems like some love is in the air where these kitties live...for all who have posted kitties! Of course, the dogs have love, too.  And where there is snow...yes wet cold paws from daily needs to go outside.  

Nice selection of pets here!     Thanks all and thanks for this thread!.         Tom.

Maybe I will get another cat shot, 3 left to choose from..well, they do the chosing and posing.

What gorgeous cats Lou and Este. I have two cats. The oldest is best friend to my oldest dog Tiger. Who loves to flea the cat? lol So funny to watch him smooch the dog so the dog fleas him.
Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Chris

p.s.. I am working on portraits of all the cats and this is one experiment along the way to final "posing"; we all know how well cats pose!  This was a trial background and a bit of softer focus.

Hi Este

That is so cute. My cat titty(male too) loves belly scratches. He is eight now. And he is the one that loves being fleaed by Tiger the dog.

Chris

Well I guess you've already seen my pets in the gallery... The first one is Jacko, my dog is called Bo (or Beau) and my other bird still has no name :laugh:. Jacko and Bo live at my parents house, but I visit them a couple of times a week.  We found Bo 8 years ago left behind in the fields when he was about 9 weeks old.

I love them very much, also my birds give me a lot of affection, what may seem weird...

Hope to see some more pets here, it's very pleasant to see them!

Hugs, Natalie

Aw, some great pics........ I'd love to post a couple of pics of my cats Itty (black tom, very similar to Conniekat8's Tigger, and Pandora, a cute little girl born with no tail (as were all the females in the litter)........ unfortunately they're over in the US and I can't wait to see them again!

Oh that will be great Reborne. You holidaying at the moment?
Chris

I wish.... my babe is over there and I can't go back until I get a visa sorted out, so I'm stuck in England for a few months. boo hoo.

seeyus  Tunde

ps: I belive she is ganna have a yellow eyes color...yeeppiiieee!

This is our eldest kitty, Casey, a "maine coon" shelter kitty.  She doesn't jump much any more but is just as loving. Renal failure is a problem and diet and lots of water help.   She used to listen for nightcrawlers (large earthworms) and pull them from the soil!  She did not eat worms.  She did catch a few shrews.       She is a dear and loved a bunch.          Tom.

This pic was taken last year while changing bed clothes and she occupied the mattress.

Hey she cute Tom. How old is she now? Renal failure not good in humans and must be hard to treat in cats.
Hey Frank, i still think my Benny cutier.hehe. Cody got purple eyes in real life?
Chris

ohhh Tom!! Casey is a most wonderfull looking lady! that deep thoughtful eyes. I hade a Maine coon cat called Babuci ( yes I am "wearing" his name). Wonderfull memories coming back from a little black box hidden deep in my heart ....Thank You Tom!!

Chris...You got quet a lot lovely companions! Wow! Thanks for a warning about a little bell!

seeya Tunde

Thats okay Tunde. Also i had another cat a long time ago. His front leg got caught in his collar. I was away with my family. When i come back i could smell something and noticed he had leg caught in collar. The collar had started to eat into his leg. Lucky me a nurse and knew how to dress his wound. He recovered but i am careful about using collars on cats to save wildlife.
Have a great week mate:)

Chris, we gave up on collars long ago.  We walk the cats in our "yard", brush and woods and moss.  Two males want to run too far and we have harnesses on them.  The ladies have learned the limits and do not go beyond certain trees.  Cats are really too active and rambumtious for collars it seems!

Renal failure in Casey's situation is lack of water intake.  She drinks a lot and likes the gravy in her  wet food more than the food.  We tried prescription diets but she would not eat it.  And with 4 cats all eating at the same time...difficult.  So, she eats and enjoys.  The problem down the road is dehydration but with a once a week instillation of water under the skin can help for a couple  of years.  It has not come to that yet.  Our prayer is that when she goes and her spirit is free and in a better place, it will be at home that it happens.  Then, her old body will join the 4 others beneath the hill behind out home.  She knew and was a friend of one, Sadie, pictured earlier in the thread.

Tunde, Casey is about 15 years old.  She has enjoyed a full life and we want her happy to enjoy what is left of it.  In human terms, she is an elderly lady.  Yet, she is still a lady, indeed. I do love this critter!                 Tom.

I love people with kind hearts. Can tell alot about that person.
Let her eat and do whatever she wants with the life that is she has left Tom. When i nursed we had this 83 year old male with COAD( chronic obstructive airway disease). He loved his smokes and they told him he had to stop smoking. I thought how stupid these people were to try and take something away from what he loves doing. He is 83. Amazing.
