as a teenager i was witnessed a person kick this kitten in front of a store near my house... it was a very small kitten and it died shortly after... that guy almost beat me to a pulp because of my concern for the pesky little creature... he was just having a "little fun"...
ZooKeeper
Biff -- you ain't that far wrong...
Bookworm
To bad a giant cat couldn't have a little fun with that guy!!
ZooKeeper
some fun. some "people"...
ZooKeeper
a mercat? hrmm...
LITTLE MERMAID
mmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!pprrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr:)
Bookworm
I'd like to know how she survives if cats hate getting wet.
LA REINE
actually there's a breed of cat who's name escapes me -- japenese something, i think -- that likes water.
Bookworm
I had a siamese that used to go to the beach with us. h ewould go racing out into the water and go swimming like it was the best thing in the world. Weird cat.
ZooKeeper
bw -- that was the same cat who used to ride the dogs around the yard and beat up intruding dogs, wasn't it?
Bookworm
Yeah that was Whitey. ( so called because he was a champagne siamese) I remember when he rode Charley around the yard. You want to talk about one shocked dog! I was out to the farm and saw Whitey about 3 years ago. He had gone basically wild instead of staying with Russell. I was able to get close to him and it was him not one of his get. He had to have been about 14 at the time. Haven't seen any sign of any cats at the old place since. I know that Stevey was happy to get the kittens when we moved into town. I would like to get another one like that crazy cat.
ZooKeeper
he was a crazy cat, wasn't he? remember when you used to walk around the house with him around your neck? <snicker>
LITTLE MERMAID
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeeoooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY DEAR!!!!!!!!! BIG WISH FOR YOU!!
Of course you know what birthdays are don't you??? It's when they light your desert on fire, and everyone stands around laughing and singing while you try to blow it out! "realy!"
ZooKeeper
i miss my cats too. darn apartment policy...
Bookworm
My plans have been fouled up the past few days but sometime I will. (Hopefully before next century)
ZooKeeper
JayDee -- sometimes I feel like that. more often lately I wish I couldn't hear all that I do, couldn't feel all that I do, didn't know both so much and so little...
oh, nevermind.
JayDee
ah, neckpiece-cats
I am in the company of one such Siamese
szNeonx
my 7lb cat Karma was too small to drape around properly so she became the shoulder cat.
Bookworm
Great company aren't they JayDee? I want a cat around here but can't yet at least.
Torch Song
I'm kind of glad Piewacket decided he wasn't a shoulder cat while he was still a kitten -- he's about 20 lbs at the last check!
Bookworm
Does he land on you in the middle of the night like one cat we had did?
Torch Song
Pie doesn't land on me--he knows better! But he sometimes goes through a phase of leaping, all claws fully extended, directly toward a sleeping FuzzyWuzzy's rump... <snicker>
Bookworm
<snicker> We had a cat who weighed in at 22 pounds. He would come running up the stairs into your room and jump from about 6 feet away from the bed. He landed on me one night when I was having a bad dream and got thrown back across the room into the wall. After that he always landed on the bed beside me.
JayDee
attitude?
ZooKeeper
TS -- giggle...
Polanski always managed to land right in the middle of me, no matter where I was in the bed. Didn't matter how often or how forcibly I removed him from the bed, not to mention how breathlessly <sheesh!> he still was there the next night, if not at least once more that night. And loud thoughts! man, I've never been so thoroughly chewed out as by that [deleted] cat as he stomped out of the room... and boyoboy can siamese stomp!
FuzzyWuzzy
:p
Bookworm
Sound like a turd of hurdles don't they? ;>
LITTLE MERMAID
My little kitten is a female ferritt .and she's a doll!
Torch Song
Yup. No creature can stomp like a Siamese...or swear, either! <wow>
Bookworm
Yeah they can swear all right!
ZooKeeper
bw -- yes, but much much faster!
and for some reason he never did catch on to landing beside me... I guess I didn't toss him hard enough?
Bookworm
Probably not. I threw him hard enough that after he hit the wall he had to shake the cobwebs out of his heead before staggering off.
ZooKeeper
ah! y'see, I never had breath enough to more than double up and gasp spasmodically for a few minutes before dislodging him from the by-now cramped (ha!) quarters.
Prick
so what is it, a kitten, a ferret, or a doll?
Bookworm
He hit at the wrong time and I hit back before I was fully awake. That is probably the only reason I was able to do that. He was careful after that though.
Torch Song
You couldn't get him to understand "*Beside* not ON!"? Wow...never had that problem with any cat, myself... Well, except for Sniffles, but she's a moron...
ZooKeeper
I dunno, I always thought he liked the spastic hug, myself. :>
didn't have that problem with any of the others... ???
Raistlin
I ran into a shoulder cat that weighed about eighteen pounds. He lived in Langley, on Whidbey Island, and was owned by the liquor store. He would run around in the bookstore next door waiting for someone to bend down to look at a book on one of the lower shelves and then pounce. Whenever he jumped up onto my shoulders I would reach up and pull his legs down in front of me and carry him around draped across my shoulders. He stayed there for two hours once. It was neat. I agree about siamese.
Torch Song
Other cats, Sis. Sure, I had to tell them more than once (just like kids in that respect), but they caught on eventually.
ZooKeeper
every other cat we had indoors at any time did too... but he never did. not for me anyway. *I* think, from the self-satisfied smirk I got from him, that he rather enjoyed doing that...
ZooKeeper
and heaven help me if I shut my door at night! sheesh, talk about chewed out! chewed out and spit out and stomped on and stalked away from!
uncle herb
My cat sits on my chest for 20 minutes every night when I go to bed.
Saint Bob
One o'mine does that too.
Coffee
both of mine like to play cat wars at bedtime and the battleground usally is my bed :(
Bookworm
You should have opened the door and sprayed him with a water gun. I did that a few times. (even though he wouldn't take the hint) He was an annoying so-and-so wasn't he...
ZooKeeper
yeah, but I *liked* him! did you ever get Pippin to quit bringing you snakes?
Bookworm
Yeah. After she saw us kill one she stopped. I want to get another siamese one of these days...
ZooKeeper
me too.
Bookworm
They have the most character of any cats that I have seen.
Lady Non Sequitur
One of my Tonks has declared "any lump under the sheets that moves" as his personal playthings -- if they move, he attacks. Luckily, neither likes to sit on me (they both have bad balance, and can't retract their claws), but they do tend to sleep right next to me and take over half the bed while I'm asleep.
Torch Song
Senior cat and Newest cat have finally reached a compromise on which cat sleeps in which spot. The senior one sleeps on the bed, hogging space that silly people thought was for their own feet. Newest cat drags all my clothes into a pile (yep, she hunts them down until she gets the ones she wants...), curls up contentedly, and refuses to budge before 10am...
LITTLE MERMAID
thump, pitter, patter, thump, ( angry cat walk)
Blubard
My nieghbor's cat, Boris, likes a game they call changing the sheets. His Girl(my other neighbor) pulls the old sheets off the bed. Boris recognizes this as time to play, and jumps on the bed. She then covers Boris with the fresh sheet, and tries to find his way out.
szNeonx
My cat used to sleep in my armpit.
Bookworm
You mean she is a night cat? She should fit right in out there then. :)
Bookworm

sometimes it's beautiful, sometimes it's too loud

Bean likes to bring home snakes. I love it when he does that. He never hurts them, just brings them home. He's part siamese. ME-OW-YOW! That's Bean. My favorite cat, my best friend, Tripod, just got cancer. We're taking him down to Kirkland for surgery monday. Poor kitty. He's the awsomest cat that ever lived.
SkyWise
Well they removed Tripod's tumor, they had to remove part of his jaw and had to remove some nerve endings, so he can't blink his right eyelid now, but he can still blink his third eyelid. And after he recovers from surgery he has to get chemo therepy to help keep the tumor from coming back. But he's still the awsomest cat ever!
