Excellent vid.
The kitten was dreaming and momma pulled him in tight.
Cats are brilliant.
I have my siamese Fleaman, 6 inches from my left hand as I type this.
He was 11 on the 23rd of may.

[red_rose]

Fleaman?? Is that his name.....brilliant:)

Happy be-lated birthday Fleaman.

I freakin love cats.

My cat's cuddle their back legs, like the mum cat did to her bubba. Makes them look like ballerinas working out heee hee

sending out a big kiss to all you cat lovers and your kitty cats.

That is his name.
When I got him, he was infested with fleas.
His birth name was gremlin.
He was the second runt and the only kitten to survive.
He had the flu as a kitten and used to curl up on my sternum to sleep for my body heat.
So, he heard my heart and lungs, so he thinks I am his mother, he follows me everywhere.
He sits and waits while I shower, he sits and waits while I do anything.

They are so so clever

thanx red rose, great vid which shows why those that love cats do, and everyone else is missing out.

Recently my partner and I adopted 4 feral stray kittens and are socializing them.

It's unbelievably heartwarming to see then gradually shift from fearful, scared-of-the-world, balls of anger,...

to

Adorable, playful, curious, and moderately affectionate little fuzzballs. Viva la kittens!

It's a two way street, the more you love them the more they love you back. A perpetual gift of love.

They're amazing aren't they.

Awwwwww

fonzy gives my arm a hug like that too sometimes :)

I lay on my side with one arm up so my head's resting on the shoulder, he'll walk on the bed and stand infront of me (he wont lay down, he's kinda used to me just grabbing him and pulling him up against my arm so the arm im laying on can scratch his head, and the other his belly)

And sometimes he'll give me my arm/hand a hug like the mommy cat in that video did :)

I also love watching him sleep - when he twitches/moves his feet - makes me wonder what he's dreaming of, that and he has very furry feet - ie hair comes out from around his lil pawpads so 90% of the time he's walking on furr - and not his pawpad things, it just looks cute :P


He is such a little brat tho!

He wakes us up in 4 inteh morning by scratching the door (he wants to get up, we're like zzzzzzzzzzzz - gotta get a cat door for our bedroom door!) One morning we let him out at 4am , i got up at 6. I went out to the main room and it looked similar to the scene from mission impossible where they have all those triplasers everywhere - only it was thread, with the spool on the floor, wrapped around the chairs, table, desk, you name it i was wrapped around lol. I started cleaning up (i have no clue where he got the spool of thread from) and towards teh end noticed the thread lead back to his cat tower. He was sitting in the bottom. I sit down next to him and tell him he's a Bratt. He looks sad... I continue to get the last of the thread but when i pulled on it he Gagged........


after a big ohhhhhhh god no you diddnt.................... and 3mins of gently pulling and cat gagging later.......

A very slimy (probably a meter long) peace of thread with a hairball attached near the end was removed from his mouth/stomoch.

I do not think he will be eager to eat thread again :P I think he realised what had happend and sat down in defeat in his cat tower, big spool of thread too big for kitty to eat it all!

Poor thing... Why am i the only person who never thinks of videoing these things? I must admit i did have a little giggle when removing the thread - he diddnt seem in pain - just uncomfortable lol.

I love cats. So much more personality than Dogs :)

[Sir Eltor]

Love em , would most certainly not be the same without em :biggrin1:

[red_rose]

What's the most stoooopid thing your cat has done???? :der:

First thing that comes to my mind is that one of my cats, merlin, likes playing in plastic carrier bags. He likes pouncing on them and makes them rustle. So one time I left him to it, rustling around in the kitchen. I went through to the other room. Next thing I know Merlin is racing around the house at like 50mph, racing up stairs, jumping on furniture, racing downstairs through all the rooms.....followed by this white blur.

He basically put his head through the handle of the bag, he looked like a super hero in a plastic bag cape. So, no matter where he ran the plastic bag was chasing him, or so he thought. He just couldn't outrun it, obviously.

So I had to rugby tackle him, in a nice way :), coz he was running so fast, to get the bag off of him. All better now Merlin, Mummy chased the monster away. Big kiss and cuddle :)

Bless 'em.

Cats are such beautiful creatures. They are one of the best on earth IMO. I wonder what other kinds of wonderful creatures there are out in the universe.

Thanks for the light hearted thread :)

Lord Sidious,
I wondered where you got all your knowledge from....:biggrin1:
I sense great intelligence in your feline friend....

Fleaman! LOL Love that! :)

I have two cats....my husband would say two too many. :P

[Charlie Pecos]

What are you people talking about?!!! Cats aren't beautiful creatures, they are jerks in fur coats, they are TERRORISTS!

First, they puke on the floor in the middle of the night and you get to find it when you get up to use the bathroom. Don't tell me nobody here has ever had the pleasure.

Then, they dart out the front door when you come home and your hands are full and you have to throw everything down and grab the little rascal.

They wait till you go to sleep, then they start their nightly activities to include chasing through the house, catterwalling, fighting, coming up on the bed and purring in your face, and knocking stuff over- you know, that big CRASH just as your falling to sleep. The next morning, your dog tired because you didn't sleep well (wonder why), so you get up and there they are- sleeping peacefully. The real kicker is when you come home from work 10 hours later and they are still in the same spot- sleeping.

TERRORISTS I TELL YOU.

Oh, and then there was the time just recently that I was lying in bed reading a book and one of these terrorists came in and laid on me, obscuring my view of said book. I am pretty sure they are collaborating with the government to prevent our ascension.

His name is Gizmo. He is my buddy, but don't let the fuzziness fool you. He is a terrorist. He will follow me all over the house, waiting for the perfect moment to attack. I must be very careful- I think he is starting to w.......AHAAAHHAHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

Oh, he is very smart.
He knows everything I tell him, like when he harasses Sela, I tell him to get outside, he races out.
Or when I tell him to jump up on something, he does.
And like all siamese, he loves to talk.

[Cjay]

Nothing beats a big hug after a nightmare.

Regarding Shezbeth's story about adopting feral cats: Cats are so easy to adopt - just feed them once and tell the to go home.

Hehehehe, They're not terrorists.... just great Misgeiouf makers :P


Mr Fonz will play wack a mole with us. We're lying in bed, then all of a sudden BAM! paw+claw's to the head from up behind the top of the bed.



When he wants something, may it be pats or food or simply to play - We'll be walking down the hallway and suddenly have this cat attached to our legs. He tackles us. we keep moving, Every step he tackles us. then runs away if we turn around... so we continue walking.. then again!!



He is a BRAT!!


you need to learn how to get even with them Charlie!



Ie - He loves sitting in the window. We'll sneak up on him, and grab his tail. He'll jump and go BRRRRR.... then when we leave chase us down the hallway and do the tackle thing.


Get TWO laser pointers. Start with one, then add the 2nd. Oh the look of confuzion you'll get then :)


He loves "helping" us do our washing. And by helping i mean claws to any hand that comes near him to pickup clothes. And he'll sit right in the middle. So we'll start getting tshirts and throwing them over him. He helps by grabbing and trying to bite them as they fall around him. By the end tho all you see is a tail, then eventualy he'll stick his head out and with a smug look on his face :) We havent worked out a safe way of getting the Tshirts off him when it comes time to put them away :P



All attempts at sticking an Earthbox outside to grow flowers fail. He's claimed that as his litter tray - and prefers it over the real litter tray.



I've yet to figure out how to get even with him when he grabs the toilet roll holder, drags that into the hallway then rips that to shredds. I've been thinking he'd look quite funny if i used the remaining shredded paper still attached to the roll to try and wrap him up in it :P But i have a feeling that would just encourage him to do it more often :P



Devious, Devious little cats :P

I don't know how to tell you this, but you my friend are living with a TERRORIST! It is so sad when folks don't even realize it is happening to them. Be strong my friend, but be careful. He is plotting your doom, even as we speak. :P

Just like my Scooter ... Siamese Tabby cross -- I swear he understands english very well. I've never had to discipline him more than one single time on any topic - extremely fast learner ... can read people (there's one girl I have known for years and years - she hates scooter - it's mutual and whenever she visits she has to hide her coat and shoes ... Scooter will mark her stuff ... lol it's really quite funny because we all know this is the game -- Scooter included. Damn bastard won't except healing from me though ... but since he's lived at least 14 lives - likely not needed. I have no idea how he is still alive ....

Edit:
It's my belief that cats can carry a human soul quite readily .. I believe the ancient Egyptians also believed this hence the same laws for cats as humans. (ie kill a cat -- same punishment as killing a human). That said, I have met many cats that are just carrying a "cat" soul -- the difference is pretty noticeable in my opinion.
