Wow. I had no idea...
Cats can turn some very manly men into quivering piles of mush. I'm proud to suffer from that affliction.
Aww, what a precious little face she has; so adorable.
He's my buddy. I have a beard and I reserve it for him alone. He always rubs his head against it. It's our way of saying "you're mine".
He was a stray I picked up. He was all torn up and sickly. Took him to the vet and got him well (most expensive 'free' cat I've ever had!). Wouldn't trade him for the world.
Awwwww....Rush and the cat look so cute. I do that all the time with my cat, who is part Burmese, and the most affectionate, loving little pet you would ever want to have. My preference has always been for dogs, but my cat really is an unusual cat.
My parents' next-door neighbor has a cat that was saved from a shelter. The previous "owner" apparently didn't want it anymore, so tried to strangle the poor creature. My mom pointed out that the dear thing has sort of a crooked neck from that attempt. I ran into it when I went to take out some trash, and it was sitting on the neighbor's porch. I started talking to it, and it came over, and was very friendly. Very beautiful cat.
Thanks for the ping (:
Maine Coons are fantastic pets. Our bigger one (Livingston) is 26 pounds...dumber than a bag of hammers but very sweet, great with our 10-month-old, basically he's just a lovable doofus. We have another, Beauregard, that's about half that one's size, very skinny and with an amputated tail, a rescue from an overcrowded breeder. I'll have to get some better pictures of him, as he's got a unique look that I've never seen on any other Maine Coon...

Really? Cool.
I think my cat's official classification is "Big Lazy Fattie with Orangish Stripes."
I've a traditional Siamese. Not very talkative but quite affectionate. A year old now and gets along great with my old black cat.
I'm not really sure what to say he is, other than fat and lazy. The only time he ever gets up is when he hears the can opener.
I reviewed the science...and actually we are not quite ready to "plug into the...brain", but instead it uses the still functioning optic nerve...sorry for the mistake.
"The Forth Friday in November"
One of my two (she's a Himalayan/Siamese cross) will stalk the vacuum cleaner as soon as it's shut off. Hunts it, runs up and smacks it, and then takes off and hides.
Her way of getting back at it for being so irritatingly noisy, I guess. ;-)
Wow! That's a beautiful cat!
This is Tam:
This is Tam on 'nip:
Any questions? ;-)

We are cat people. Not only do we own some of our own, we nurse some back to health for the local shelter.
