The kittens like to sleep in the bathroom sink. Oscar likes to drink from the faucet, and knows how to turn it on. It's great fun when he turns it to a slow enough drip that the kittens don't wake up until they're completely soaked.
That's awesome. Doesn't happen to know how to turn it back off, does he? Must suck to come home to the water being on all day. |

I have the bathroom sink set so it can only be turned on fairly low, after he left the cold on full blast overnight once. And I doubt he'd shut of the water if he can.

When she crossed over, she was just a ship. But when she came back... she was bullshit!

Why do they breed them to have such pushed in faces, anyway? It's not like there's cat fighting rings or anything. Or is there? I don't even know!
Cat shows. Judging standard says that Persians have a "short, snub nose", and breeders chase that with the result of "ultratyping". Same thing in reverse with modern Siamese. If you're a breeder, you need to go to a lot of cat shows and get ribbons and earn points toward Champion and Grand Champion status. So where the difference between a Persian and Siamese nose was originally about half an inch, now the Persian looks like it was hit in the face with a shovel and the Siamese like it was rammed into a funnel. --Dave |

I find generic 'cat' faces better than either extreme. Inbreeding for specific deformity in both cats and dogs makes me sad.
And I need to get a new camera. The cats keep doing unbearably cute things.

I'd really like it if those kennel/cat association guidelines included an, "If they start looking retarded or have trouble performing basic life functions they've gone too far," addendum to those guidelines.

Bart seems to have moved under the hearth rug. He'd been playing under there the last couple weeks, knocking a toy under and chasing it, but the last couple nights he's fallen asleep in there.
Kinda funny coming home to a giant lump in the carpet...that purrs.
Cat show people: best just to ignore them. Or at least be happy they aren't doing that pageant shit to their kids or something.

If I didn't know better, I would swear Lizzie knows how cute she is when she goes into her seal pup pose. She rolls onto her back and tucks her feet up and looks as fat as possible, and it totally reminds me of seal pups sunning themselves. I would take a picture, but the second you TOUCH a camera, she gets all excited and wants to see what that thing is. She is the nosiest damn cat ever. We took her and Gilly on a field trip to a friend's house (cats love field trips, rite?), because they wanted to see us and they know we're reluctant to leave Gilly alone (although she's been doing great, so we really shouldn't be yet). Gilly spent the entire time under the couch, but Lizzie made herself completely at home. I think she actually liked the change of scene. Like I said, she's the nosiest damn cat ever.  |

I just bought a Drinkwell for my cats. It's kinda noisy, but the flowing water has all the cats drinking a lot more. Extra water is supposed to be pretty beneficial to cats, I hear. Surprisingly, they haven't made a huge mess with it yet.

Give them time. They're probably deciding on the best way to make such a mess yet ;)

That's wicked! Especially having a black cat, where the butthole is, shall we say....glaring.
Bart now has a pink scar on his nose. Doesn't seem bothered by it, best I can figure he sniffed an ember that popped out of the stove and burnt his nose.

Do you mean wicked bad or wicked good? I think it's awful. It has to bother them, no? Magenta is a black cat with a big butthole and it only annoys me when she insists on sticking it in my face as she's doing her circles before laying down or something.

Yes, wicked usually means good but I just couldn't imagine you wanting to cover up poor ole Bart's butthole!

We'd of been having Chinese food...
Paging Yegolev.  My cat that used to have seizures somehow crushed or cut one of his back toes. I put some cream on it and later some peroxide. Today I find him with his right eye all puffy such that he reminds me of Columbo a bit. I guess he's going to be one of "those" cats. Related, I have a racoon that tries to pretend he is a cat. He competes with the opossum for cat food, but I daresay the opossum wants it more due to how he jams his whole head into the cat food dispenser. We are down to one opossum from two since the big one could not figure out how to get out of the pool. |

Was your pool also filled with a giant flotilla of fleas? We had an opossum crawl into a vacant cat carrier and die in our backyard when I was in HS, when I found it, there was a virtual carpet of fleas around it. Pretty nasty, and I lived at the time in an area that still has a couple of cases of plague now and again (right by the Santa Monica Mountains in western LA County.)

I was joking.  Marsupial not a monotreme. More funny than racoon-cat comparison, also. |

I picked up my cats from a hotel they spent a few days in while I was on vacation. The hotel had given the cats a bath. A clean kitty is a happy master, cause they smell great! Warm ball of perfumy, purring fur in the face is a great way to wake up.

Our FIP cat is hanging in there pretty well - she's gained weight and her blood tests all came back with good numbers. Doctor seemed very surprised about the weight gain in particular.

Girl I had lunch with today has a tuxedo cat, with one eye that's parti-colored, blue on one side of the pupil, green on the other. I'm going to try for a photo in the next few days. Seems the cat has some vision problems in the eye, making him skittish, but it looked neat.
