That sounds pretty cool. I'd take one, but I have plenty of cat already: just one, but he's plenty of cat.

Howard : One? Phfft thats not a cat owner.
One of mine is 7kg ! We nicknamed her Mz Garfield ! ehhe

No one is ever a cat owner. They barely tolerate us for the food and that's it.

Dogs have owners, cats own slaves.

I could not read all the posts because one of my 5 cats is standing in front of the computer screen.

For a mother cat to get that close to you to give birth shows a lot of trust in you. I have two big ones. One Maine Coon at 26 pounds and a Tabby short hair, his brother at 24 pounds. Very bossy, nosy,. but strictly house cats. Never let them near my planes . Had a Siamese once that loved to chew the tails off planes.
From 6 down to two. Luigi, Pasquali, Aldo, Giovianni, and now Mario and Marco Polo. All fine Irish cats. H^^ LL~ LL~
We have a lot of fat cats over here, they are running the banks and big industry! ;D
Cheers Neville

PJ,
Wow! Incredibly beautiful coats. The cats look nice too. LL~ Are you sure they're actually cats and not miniature leopards? It would be so cool to paint a stunt plane with markings like that, complete with green eyes, red tongue and white fangs!
........Luigi, Pasquali, Aldo, Giovianni, and now Mario and Marco Polo. All fine Irish cats. H^^ LL~ LL~
Ty,
Great list of Irish names! LL~
Cheers,

PJ, love the color of the kittens. Right now there are 5 cats residing here that the poohes tolerate a little. One used to come in the shop with Sandy, the dememted poodles permission. H^^

PJ....are those cats Savanna's???

No, I think they're PJ's.

HOWARD.......Take a lap.... %^@

Ah Dick, that's cold. ;D Hate to think what I ate overseas in the 60's. Ty probably ate the same thing.

Sign in Chinese restaurant: "Cat, the other white meat". I took my son nine years before he would eat chicken at a Chinese restaurant due to the tall tales I told him at age 5.
About a hundturd' years ago...my "PAPPA JOE" who lived in the Ozark mountains in the mean and lean days of the 30 n 40 depression years...told me that when hunting for food, often ferrell cats, squirrls,river rats were often food for the day.
In the months before he passed and on his dwindling good days...he had a strong craving for the taste of squirrls and ferrell cat and wanted to go hunting with his Winchester 22 short range hollow-point automatic rifle----------and being afraid he might pass this life at any moment my twin sister and I used to go hunting with him in the creek beds in south east Kansas for his beloved bounty.
(however my Grandma would only allow him to hunt and kill just enough squirrl to make him a small meal) FERRELL CATS WERE OFF LIMIT BY THIS TIME----
Grandpa Joe always preached to both my twin sister Mj and I...that his GOLDEN HUNTING RULE was never broken and that we honor this last request of his---
"NEVA SHOOT ANY LIVING THING...UNLESS U PLAN TO EAT IT!"
One morning last winter When I saw this beautiful little Ferrell cat that was perched on the local McDonald's drive through take out window for his daily morning fish stick or chicken meal.
After taking the photo---Tears and memories of Pappa Joe's final request came flooding back to me...

Yep living out in the country you ate what was put on the table and didn't ask questions. I can still remember the night we were heading home with some flour, sugar and other things with no meat for supper. A good sized rabbit junpe out in front of the car and Mother hit it before she could even think breaks. Dad yelled stop. Got out and came back with a rabbit skinned, gutted and ready for the cooking. Lost count of how many trips going down country roads picking greens as they called it to eat. Today generation has it too easy. H^^

The only reason your cat doesn't eat you is because he's not big enough.
The only reason he hangs around is because you feed him. if your neighbor down the street fed him better he'd move in with him in a heartbeat.
HOWEVER I confess to a fascination with them--we have 2, a Maine Coon mix and a Ragdoll.

I know these things are a little off topic, but they are about accurate. I have 18 pages of these cats saved to my photobucket account. They make me laugh.
I also have 4 little ones in the dining room in a box. Going on three weeks now. They're a hoot watching them figure out how to get the back side up and moving with the front side. They remind me of me after the first flight of the year..
Best to all

13) Tie cat's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to wash pill down.
14) Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and removes pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table.
15) Arrange for RSPCA to collect cat and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters.
HOW TO GIVE A DOG A PILL:
1) Wrap it in bacon.
We have 2 cats, Both of the "Heinz 57 varieties" and getting on in years now being 15 and 13 respectively The one rescued from certain death being the "runt" of the litter at a local farm the other again a mercy purchase from a family who's cat had a litter and they did not know what to do with them all.
They do say Dogs have owners and cats have staff and it's certainly true of our 2 moggies.
