rare full face photo of Arthur taken this evening

Donna-Dew

Beautiful photo FeelingFeline! Such lovely eyes! Arthur looks puzzled though, maybe he's figuring that the camera is not such a scary thing after all )

What have ya'll heard about the DNA testing of cats to determine origin? It was a big genetic thing a bit ago. I haven't googled it, but figured you would know.

The cats fell into distinct groups, one of which included all domestic cats and the near eastern wildcat, suggesting the two were linked. The other cats fell into four groups including the European wildcat, the central Asian wildcat, the sub-Saharan African wildcat and the Chinese desert cat.

Carlos Driscoll, a scientist on the study, which was published in Science yesterday, said: "What our work shows is that cats were not domesticated anywhere else in the world, but that they became pets for people living in the Fertile Crescent before being carried to other parts of the world by humans." The Fertile Crescent gains its name from land irrigated by the waters of the Nile, Jordan, Tigris and Euphrates, where hunter-gatherers first began to settle. Different civilisations occupied the region, including the Sumerians, Assyrians and Babylonians.

Cool Wren. I had no idea about the history. I do know that my Siamese mix Emmy is having neurological issues right now and is screaming through the house possessed, madly dashing through doors, bouncing off the couch and sounding like a 13 pound elephant. Sometimes I wonder about her wiring.. she was hit by a car years ago and survived- but maybe there was some brain damage?

Aurthur has gorgeous eyes. That one cat splayed out half falling out of the chair reminds me of my daughter's HUGE Siamese cat Pinky. When he folds his legs underneath himself he looks like a harbor seal- he's beige and so FAT! She just sent me a picture of him splayed out tummy up like a floating otter, lounging on the couch. He has the prettiest eyes they are purple- blue. My daughter rescued him from the no kill shelter here. He was the saddest nastiest looking pathetic animal. The pads of his feet were worn nearly off, his eyelashes folded into his corneas, damaging them and making his eyes infected, he was starving, had a broken tail, a chunk missing from his ear, parasites . I asked her why she took this 3 year old street urchin? She said, "Mom no one would take him. He can be a 5th floor city cat, fat and happy." You know we had his eyes surgically repaired and he's fat an happy living on the 5th floor!

My little Molly cat wanted to come to Vegas with me!

feelingfeline

welcome to the gang Morwenna!!

Poor Molly - she really looks like she knows what's up.

Wren - fascinating!! So then the Egyptians cottoned on that they had a God in their midst....

RoseValley - what a kind girl your DD is. Lucky cat.

Any chance of us seeing a pic of Mr. Fat'n'happy? please please

Rosevalley

Feelingfeline- I will ask DH how to take my DD2's email and send it here. I am not sure how to do that. The 3 pictures she sent are great! One shows Pinkerton half asleep with his tongue sticking out! The other she called his "otter pose" splayed out, tummy up lounging on the couch. Last one he's sitting in his food bowl howling for more. Pinky doesn't like me much since he stayed here at our house for his surgery, collar on and I medicated him several times daily with eye drops and oral flagyl for intestinal parasites/ bloody diarrhea. So Pinky sees me and makes a grumpy face and swats! Grandma is evil med giver and collar enforcer! He has not forgotten his surgery and weeks stay here. Hey after paying 400 on eye surgery I didn't want him ruining the results! DD2 works and is a college student so I offered to play hospital nana while he had surgery and recovered, meds etc. He is a sweet cat and LOVES my daughter. After being a street urchin he has no interest in the outside... couch and window surfing is as wild as he wants life.

Can't wait to see pics Rosevalley! Molly is adorable!

This is from one of the foster people for Kitten Inn: "Very excited Baby girl has used the litter box twice now when i've been down there, downside other baby girl thinks the bikkie bowl is the dirt box, she digs in the bikkies then pees on the floor while her two front feet are in the food bowl, hoping mum is going to fix this, quite funny to watch."

Will post lots more kitten pictures this weekend!

looking forward to yours and RoseValley's pics

I went to my friends house to help her with her newborn and 20 month old. She has a 13 yr old tort (I can't remember what the full breed name is). Her name is turtle and she is beautiful! I've never had a long haired cat so it was funny to watch her groom herself. She loved the scratching pad and seemed to be uneasy that I was there, maybe? She paced around a lot and had pretty wide eyes and would every once in a while slightly pin her ears back. I just watched her. Didn't want to upset her any more (or get mauled)! Wish I had taken a picture!

feelingfeline

long haired beauties often need a hand with the grooming - it's a lot for one tongue to manage!
