Here's Maribelle and our 8 month old. She (the cat) loves sleeping on the futon in the baby room most of the day.
This is our youngest rascal. He is named Sneaky because he is a really sneaky cat. He is a very friendly cat, acts a lot like a dog in some ways. My mom rescued him from work, he was a tiny little kitten, only a few weeks old, and appeared to have been abandoned by his mother. The cats mostly stay downstairs where the litter box, food, and water is, but he enjoys going to upstairs a lot and eating lactose free yogurt. It's basically his breakfast every day.
Cats are awesome. One of our neighbors has three outdoor cats and doesnt really feed them so that they stay hungry for mice. One of them is an older, beat up, athletic looking male. He is the sweetest cat, doesnt have a mean bone in his body. He likes to hang out in our garage, eat the food we put out for him, and get his face rubbed. I wish I could bring him inside.
Merica Name P. Redacted what are the names of yalls all gray cats? My mom has one just like them with very original name "Smoky"
had a russian blue named Coltrane, he was the worst. would attack my wife and I unprovoked. found him a new home after a couple years.
Opie. Kinda morphed from oprah. She is tiny but fierce as hell. She is constantly bringing us bugs and little rodents even though she doesn’t have front claws. She also plays fetch better than my dog.
Had many cats over the years but allergic to them now :( Had a Maine Coon named Bob who was like 25 pounds and had 7 claws on each paw. He was so big he was asked to donate blood a lot at our vet. Had the meanest damn Norwegian forest cat one time. First day we got him (he was already grown) he got in a fight with my cat so I scruffed him and he latched onto my face. Clawed me in the neck and bit me in the fucking gums. I'd be laying on the couch watching TV, and he came and sat on my chest and just groaned at me. I hid under my face under a blanket until he left. We eventually released him in the woods on our property in Arkansas and he was never seen again. I'm sure he's still haunting those woods killing deer or some shit.
Right before thanksgiving I went over to my brothers place and when I got out of the car there were 2 kittens that had been abandoned. Had to have been dumped by people, because they went for the dry food almost immediately. I took them for a couple months since my brother already has 3 grown cats. They were so adorable. Little grey boy and a black and white girl. Eventually they made their way up Virginia to their new home, but I did enjoy having them. Just wish I wasn't so goddamn allergic. They drove my dog nuts because he wanted to play but they didn't give a single fuck about him after they got used to him.
Their claws are unbelievable sharp. They feel like fish hooks trying to pull out of you. We got ours at the age of two so he was fully grown. The first year we had Franklin he was a strictly a do not touch cat unless you wanted to bleed. After about 18 months he stopped attacking us and now will sit beside us some. Still not a cuddler though. I almost feel bad for him because he’s so beautiful people can’t help but touch him. But that’s what he hates the most.
been shared elsewhere but thought this needed to be in the thread. most efficient killers out there. cats, man
Watching them pounce on a rodent then realizing there's a 600 lbs. version of that creature on earth is terrifying.
My parents had two at one time and my dad caught them batting a live mouse back and forth to each other. My dad went to save it because it was really cruel to watch. They also will be running, stop on a dime, and start digging. Every once in a while they'll come up with a mole. It's incredible to watch
There's a neighborhood cat that caught a mole that was in my yard and bit it in half and just left it in our driveway. Shit was metal as hell
Apparently when they bring you a dead bird, they aren't like giving you a present or showing off or anything. They are trying to teach you how to hunt and probably think you're pathetic for never getting to step 2. http://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/why-do-cats-bring-home-dead-animals/
We had a bobtailed cat who absolutely loved murdering mockingbirds. She had incredible patience, would lay in the middle of the yard letting those assholes swoop around her dive bombing her. She'd just take it like she was siking herself up for the slaughter. Then one unlucky swoop down and it was a cloud of feathers and mist of blood.
cat growing up did that w/ crows. she was an alley cat that we adopted as an inside/outside cat. she would just lay out in the driveway for hours. miss that cat
Had the same thing happen to one of parents cats. She would randomly get dive bombed in the yard. The birds had gotten tired of her bullshit
He have a 15 year old gray tiger named Buckeye I bought my wife for Christmas before the 02 National Championship against Miami, hence the name. He’s been a great cat and companion scared for my wife’s reaction when he goes. She doesn’t handle loss well.
It’s weird getting a kitten knowing how damn long they could be with you. If you get a cat at 25 you might be in your late forties before they die. And let’s see that old buck.
Whitey Flamepoint Shorthair 7yrs old. Will only sleep in clean laundry. Hates the dog. Picky eater. Likes to sneak out of the apartment and get trapped on the neighbor’s balcony.
Traumatized by RiotJR crawling after him all around the house, he found a safe spot where he can’t be reached though. Spoiler
I posted my male cat earlier in the thread. He’s cool. This is my female cat. She’s a bitch ass Russian blue mutt that pees out of the litter box.
Can confirm freakish cat longevity. My dad rescued a kitten outside his office and 19 years later the little fucker is going strong as ever. If anything he's never looked or acted better. I attribute it to his daily 20+ minute humping sessions with his blanket. Weird but hilarious
