maqroll Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 Wow, what a handsome fella. Reggie, my orange half-coon recently jumped on my lap and used it as a springboard to then jump into my arms. Amazingly loving cat, I've never seen anything like it. He still makes time to completely shut me down like any other cat would. But when he's feeling happy, it's almost like he appreciates and understands the value of his own little cat gestures. He's an extremely intelligent little guy. Not so much my grey one, who I think could kill small dogs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be interested to know if anyone can identify their breed? They're rescue cats. I think they must be lynx point Siamese and something else. One of them is so fluffy that I think they must be part rag doll or Balinese or something. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one on the left with the shaggier hair looks very like my mate's Norwegian Forest cat. And as they're sisters, that's my guess Quote Stock Norwegian Forest cat pic They are notoriously, how shall we say, more intolerant and short-tempered independent and solitary than your average cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would meet that description to an extent. She's generally friendly but she can be such a little bitch to her sis when she wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And like a switch being flicked you can go away now or lose a finger That's the independence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 What sets cats apart from dogs is that a dog will lick your fingers after you've scratched your arse, and a cat won't. That's what I've learned anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Chilling with the cat on the bed and I was watching him watch a fly that kept flying about. Kept thinking when is he going to make his move because his tail was going. The moment it came on the bed, he launched at it and swallowed the bugger. Said to myself there's no flies on him.

Just to clarify, by "a fly" do you mean your finger, fresh from arse-scratching, which you were moving around like a fly to catch your cat's attention? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting you to say he bit its head off and left it in the kitchen. That would have been impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted September 29, 2017 Share Posted September 29, 2017 Oscar got his first chipmunk the other night. He had it in his mouth coming up the steps. He didn't quite have his killer instinct intact, cuz when he dropped the thing, it got up and booked it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il_serpente Posted September 29, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2017 The predatory instinct is strong, but when they're well fed they're not sure what to do with their quarry once they've got it. All the fun is in the hunt, so it becomes a toy to let go and recapture. Like fishermen who practice catch and release. Though one of our cats did decapitate a rat he caught and appeared to have eaten half the body. He hadn't been particularly thrilled with the food being served that day, the ingrate.

Yeah, it's boom or bust - arse-end and a bit of entrails left, or alive and squealing. haven't had any at ours for ages, I think Freddie has slaughtered everything in a mile radius of the garden. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Xela Posted September 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 29, 2017 One of my folks' cats died in the week. The vet thinks it was a heart attack. It was as bright as a button an hour earlier then my Dad found her lying in the hall, tongue hanging out and dead as a dodo. My folks are more upset than they like to make out. I think my Dad was knocked back, which is unusual for a man who has seen some horrible things in his life. Animals though, get him all the time! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 My wife has been pestering me for another cat, but to no avail. What I'm going to do though is get her a kitten and put it in a fancy box so she can open it for her birthday. Her birthday is two days after Christmas so it will be a nice surprise for her 30th. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
