However, if she got a kick out of doing that I'd quite happily put her in a bag... :evil:

Anyway, guess what?

Cat V is here :roll: It was almost inevitable, I got back from my mate's house to more mewing and found him where I put him yesterday, with a suspiciously familiar looking bowl next to him. Apparently my wife's students brought him in so she put him back there with some food. The next thing we know he's at the gate mewing plaintively - "How does this go again? We need a box and a litter tray and..." I've had to name him George to stop my wife calling him Dave :frown:

Appalogies for the crap mobile phone pics.

Andnhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh now he's on my keyboard :roll:

You got to love these kittens :oops:

They don't get them - they can't afford to spay their existing female cats so have a ton of kittens. And what do you do with those kittens........
Sounds like the two legged cats on our local council estate. :supafrisk:


They also let their young pussys run free. :roll:

Scooter is very curious of him, he keeps following the little guy around sniffing his bottom. He also gets very jealous when the little guy's on our laps but he isn't. The other cats are scandalised, hissing and spitting and leaving the room in a huff. The other dogs couldn't care less.

He has diarrhoea now, it's to be expected after a change of diet and at least he's not constipated like Obama was - I can still remember his eyes bulging as he tried to force one out :shock: <- just like that

I should take him to the vet's really but I've got a monging headache :(

I introduced three of our current five cats in the Pug Pictures section a few months ago (see 'Another good plain workhorse'). Here is another, Plato the black half-Siamese, at one of his favourite tricks.

Good lord! :shock: Does he leap off with a scream of "Banzai!"? We used to have a cat that climbed the wallpaper when I was a kid...

I made it to the vet's Saturday, he got checked over and given a clean bill of health. The sad thing is the vet had a couple of cages full of stray kittens - Do we want any more? So what I've said to the wife is to tell all these little bastard.. sorry, students that if they like him there's plenty more down the vet's...

If not, it is only because I never stay within his arc of fire long enough; I have lived with Siamese and near-Siamese before. Apart from that, you have read his character perfectly. Never was a cat less aptly named. He bites; not so very hard (he is a sportsman in his way and stays within his own limits), but you know very well that he is there and that he has fangs; he likes toes and will accept a finger if nothing better is available, but what he really aspires to is a nose. He has bitten mine; he has bitten Romeo's (he did this first when he was three months old and the whole of him was about the size of Romeo's tail alone); he would bite a dog's or a fox's or a badger's or a cow's or a horse's if he had half a chance. In addition he is a world-class claw-stropper, if I allowed him anywhere near my car I would need a new set of tyres every month. Wherefore we have never yet dared to let him out of doors.

The tabby kitten is delightful!

Nope, but it's an Italian one (allegedly...) That was the saucepan t' wife cooked up chicken stomachs for the dogs in, when they'd done I stuck the pan on the floor for a preliminary clean and there he was. I have one of a young Squishy Fishy in the self same saucepan, although in that one I'd started adding veg :twisted:

Just cats, and spiders? Anything else? :shock:

He sounds like a real rogue :cheesy: All of ours come and go as they please, there's a cat flap which 3 of them use but Ming Ming wants the doors opened for him, he's just to good for the flap I guess. I suspect the cats here are closer to feral than the cats I've known in the UK, Ming Ming will sit on the wife but not for long. Squish will act playful but if you try to tickle him he'll grab your hand with his teeth and do the disembowel thing with his back claws on your wrist. Billy has probably sat on me maybe twice in her 9 years. Mary-Jane will sit on my lap puddling with her sharp claws but then she's only hoping I'll take her into the kitchen and feed her.

I reckon the tyres are safe but I'm terrified of one of them getting in the Pug and stropping the leather...

George is doing the playful kitten thing now, flitting about like a fly, leaping out from behind furniture doing the goal keeper thing (up on back legs, front legs spread above his head). We has roast chicken for lunch and I had to fill a bowl up for him before I could get any. Then what was on my plate was much more interesting in what he had in the bowl :roll:

Continuing the 'show me yours' theme:

Here's the Cat we inherited when some arse of a neighbour moved away and left him behind :frown: :

He sits with me most night and likes to play, never bites unless you really mess about with his tummy area while playing. He brings us rabbits and mice regularly (and guess who gets the job of clearing whatever's left of them).

And just this week he's started going in his outdoor house I made :cheesy:

He's rather on the large side.

Bringing in rabbits is no mean feat for a moggy!

When they bring stuff in you're meant to say thankyou - it's their way of contributing, no matter how misguided. Then you take it away and bin it...

Ours like to bring live mice in, so they can play with them in comfort - "oh, it's gone behind the cupboard, I'd better get another one." And guess who has to catch them :evil: I must admit I'm getting quite good at intercepting them as they bring the mice up the garden towards the house - scare cat, jump on mouse, bin.
