My cat's expression upon hearing the speed metal Abba video ( in Useless Videos).

Crossbows.  Probably not any more legal, but much less noticeable.  Don't tell anyone you bought it, don't let anyone see you use it.  A couple of dogs disappear, a couple more turn up with bolts sticking out of them, and the owners will stop letting the bulk of the pack run loose.

Animals with bolt/air rifle pellet injuries make the national news over here and will attract considerable attention from the authorities.

Eat what you kill.

didn't take any photos  , but took a little holiday back in california for ~10 days.

I don't know what to make of this but my mother recently adopted 4 kittens, two seperate brother sister pairs.  one pair is 7 months old the other one is 3 months old.  I spent a total of three nights at my parents house.  I slept in the room the kittens stay in at night.   Very very cute and amusing, but some of the worst sleep I have gotten recently.

having 4 kittens snuggle with you on a bed was great, but when they decide every couple of hours that it is play time... well that got old.

[Lantyssa]

You got lucky.  At that age my old kittens decided my big toe was a chew toy.  Needle-sharp canines that pierce any fabric, and completely unable to associate lump with person at that age.  I kicked one twelve feet down the hall on pure reflex from a dead sleep once.   (At least he went through the doorway instead of hitting the wall.)

[apocrypha]

My cats used to do "toe patrol" as we called it too. We slept on a futon, i.e. very close to the ground, and those toes sticking out from under the duvet were clealy prey that needed to be tortured before the kill!

Go kitties!

Cats are resilient, the whole nine lives myth. I've lost track of how many times I've kicked Bart in the head or he's run into a closed door while running full speed. We joke he went to the world's worst ninja school. He tries to creep around but at almost 20 lbs and with giant mitt paws and the acoustics of my living room floor, it's like he's beating a bass drum when he 'sneaks'.

Blam blam blam blam blam "Did you hear anything?" "Nope, definitely did not hear a ninja."

We even have a song for him (ok, I've 'written' many): Whoa black kitty blam-ba-blam, whoa black kitty blam-ba-blam.

[Lantyssa]

I know they are resilient, but I still feel bad.  One of my cats used to run the length of the den at full speed (while making this adorable 'mrrrk' sound), smack into the wall, turn around,... and do it again.

Second one was great, sent it to the GF. First one, I dunno... Something about a creature that's just been born gives me the willies. Same applies to humans. You, Mom, may coo all you want at the wrinkled spawn of Cthulu that just emerged from your womb, and I'm deliriously happy for you, but sorry, it ain't cute. Not even remotely.

I thank tgr (TIGER?) for his endless perserverence and tenacity in bringing us the finest youtube cat videos.

Our new arrival, as-yet unnamed:





Beware the beast outside your carrier, little kitten:

[LK]

Fluffy!

The cat, that is. Not a name suggestion.

[Paelos]

Name it Blizzard!

[Sjofn]

He's surprisingly un-soft (especially compared to Lizzie, who is VERY soft for a cat). His mom is shorthaired, but I suspect dad was not.

[Signe]

Congrats on the way too cute kitty!   

[Righ]

Aw, he's a snow-Lister.

[Sjofn]

He's been named Jack. The other serious contender was "Fitzwilliam," which would've been shortened to Fitz, of course.

[Musashi]

Dude, that third pic got me.  I ruse.

[Sky]

Dude, that third pic got me.  I ruse.

Ditto. Welcome to Thunderdome, newb.

I'd like a second cat, but Bart is so large and strong, and plays rough. I'd fear bringing in another.

[Signe]

Lister is huge and strong and little Magenta kicks his butt all the time.  Most animals generally seem to know how to play together.   

[Mrbloodworth]

Ha ha!

[Bunk]

I missed the eyes in the background first time I looked. Nice shot.

When I first brough my cat home, I put the carrier from the SPCA down in the middle of the living room. Opened it up and she hops out, and makes a beeline directly for the litterbox I had setup - two rooms and one almost closed door away. Aparently there is a universal scent for cat litter.

My cat, trying to get his crinkly ball from under the TV shelf.. using the dog's pig toy for leverage.

[Hawkbit]

I need some advice.

We have three cats and a German Shepherd, all adults.  I just helped a friend move him and his two dogs from Columbus, Ohio to Seattle.  His dogs drove fine and we made it in good time.  We're considering moving from there as well in the next year but we're not sure on how to get the cats out there.  How in the world do I get my cats that far of a distance, relatively cheaply?

[Engels]

Define cheaply. I flew my cat out from North Carolina to Seattle. They have the ability to do that these days. She was a bit traumatized, but she got over it in 24 hours. She was far more freaked out by the new home than she was by the trip.
