Jack the cat is moving on to the West Side of Manhattan from Queens as he continues to regain his strength for his return voyage to his owner in California.

The cat, who was lost at John F. Kennedy International Airport for two months, was moved Thursday from the BluePearl Veterinary animal hospital in Forest Hills to its new state-of-the-arts facility at 410 West 55 St. where he will continue his recuperation. ...

That could be Finbar, Edgrr, or Malcolm too! They’re all feisty.

I love kitties in general, but the orange ones are just special somehow. :-)

[nodding] They certainly have that certain something that just gets into your heart and stays there.

Interesting you say that about orange cats. We’ve had six with only two left now. Piffy (the poop) is a grinch, and Wiffy who’s one of my favorites. Six orange cats since ‘94, and only “Wiffy” was worth the food, and litter box changes.

I’ll take the little black & whites any day over the orange cats, but then too there’s always the real heart stealers such as a Russian Blue named “Boo”.

We just acquired a momma cat, and her two kittens a couple of weeks, or so ago, and are taming them for the old speying/neutering phase of their lives, and then we shall see if they become part of the menagerie, or not. The momma cat is actually a kitten too. A baby with babies. Black with white “Boots” we named momma kitty, and the kittens became “Scooter”, and “Cooter”. That puts us back up to 17 cats, but “Wiffy”, “Piffy”, and several more are all ‘94 year models, and short timer’s I’m afraid.

There’s that handsome lion’s face again!

You’d steal that from me after I went to all the trouble of filching it? Of all da noive...

...ah, use it in good health. ;^)

[TheOldLady]

Slings, I stole that from you a long time ago... Or did I give it to you...? I forget. ;-)

[NoGrayZone]

Me too!!

Anyone know if handsome Jack is a Persian or how old he is?

[afraidfortherepublic]

Orange and orange & white cats are just special. I totally agree.

[Silentgypsy]

That is one *gorgeous* cat. He looks a lot like our Fluffy (Fluffy is blonde, though, not orange). Every time I take a photo, he closes his eyes. How do they do that?

I think some of the earlier stories may have the info you want. Try clicking on the jackthecat keyword.
