Cats, cats, cats

Mittens eyes are so intense!! I can picture that little butt wiggle lol!!

Here is Pumpkin my little sweetie who passed away in January, she was only 2 yrs old. I still miss her so much but I am forever grateful for everything she shared with us ) Still trying to hold back the tears whenever I see her pictures.

Awww...Donna. What a beautiful little soul!

Donna-Dew

I can relate to this...

I think they just want to be with us when we are still for a change. And then there's the heat from a nice hot bath!!

Here is Prowler doing the same, as taken by my smartphone from my point of view in the tub

Donna-Dew

She truly is Kiwi. She was so special. We are going to donate a gift for auction every year in her memory at our Guardian Angels Rescue's annual wingding

I have a cat that comes bounding up on my lap every time she catches me going to the bathroom. Seems to be the only time she want to be near me and wants to be petted! Last about a minute then one of us is done and off she goes. What's really weird is that her namesake did the same thing for years with me. They are almost identical.

Here is my Guardian Angel Cat & her story. I had just ended my Active Treatment' Year from Hell & had that deer-in-the-headlights, WTF just happened here? look and feeling. Not trusting my body, scared to make any plans because 'what if something would happen?' etc. Well, that fall, on a cold day, this little one pound kitten was sitting on the steps of my husband's office when he came back from lunch & still there when he came out after work & by then meowing piteously (her mom must have been a barn cat or stray & she had wandered away). He called home wondering what to do and I said, 'No, we don't need another cat. We already have two!!!" DH says, "If I leave her here, she'll freeze to death." "ARGH! Okay, but stop by the vet first and make sure she doesn't have any diseases!" And really, I think she was the start of my emotional recovery, because kittens are so much fun, and so much mischief, and when you are also dealing with two older cats who are not thrilled about the whole idea......how can you sit around feeling sorry for yourself? Five years later, just when I was finishing off Arimidex, she died in a freak accident. Lots of tears here, but I think maybe her spirit was needed elsewhere, to help out someone else going through a hard time.

Ruth what a touching story.

ruthbru

Oreo came to love his little sister. Henry did not......every day he would lurk behind the door and give her a whack when she went out. She caught onto his trick and would jump right over him, which made him even crabbier!

Donna-Dew

Oh Ruth, how adorable, Oreo and his new little sister. I love how some cats can take to the new little ones and become their snuggle-bunny. Such a short time you had with her, I'm sorry. But like you so beautifully expressed, she came at the right time, and was there for you in the season when you needed her and she needed you too. Then her spirit went on to help someone else. I'm sure that's where Pumpkin went too. Ok here come the waterworks again, honestly we are such softies!!!

Donna-Dew

Smaarty, wow your Parker has quite the long tail, beautiful cats and you'd swear they were a twin!

Panthrah, your Willow is like our Sweetpea, always four legs in the air, we call it the "t*ts up" pose

Bibby I see you posted another classic pose, don't have a name for that one yet. But I will see if I can find a photo of a cat we used to have called Nicademus who sat the same way lol!

Ruthbru, Angels don't necessarily look human. I agree.

ruthbru

Sometimes angels have claws.....and an attitude!

Donna-Dew

Bippy here is the promised photo of Nicademus in his classic pose... as taken over 10 years ago. He was such a card and very lovable. He lived well into his senior years with us )

Here he looks more dignified in the circle of a lasso rope

And he and our dog "Joey" got along great, a mutually loving relationship.

So FeelingFeline, according to the wisdom you posted previously, because I also have a dog with a multitude of cats I am classified as an "animal lover" and not just a "crazy cat lady" lol!!

This is Mocca, my dear departed heart kitty. Also who ripped my furniture to shreds.

ruthbru

What beautiful animals!

Cowgirl13

This is my darling cat, Baby. She crossed the Rainbow Bridge a year ago. I loved her so much.

KiwiCatMom

Such amazingly beautiful furbabies! Thanks to all who are sharing - they all make me smile. :

feelingfeline

Ruthbru and Donna Dew it is so hard to lose them old and even harder to lose them young XXX

CowGirl RIP beautiful Baby. She looks like she has found a place in the sun that day.

Nicodemus - What a wonderful cat and what a wonderful name Donna Dew, it seems to suit him perfectly.

So many lovely kitties.

We had a special treat tonight. Cream puffs from Beard Papa's (Japanese store) Our old puss decided he could fit in the box since he didn't indulge.

Rose50, jack is a keeper!!

CAMommy

kt, love him! I love big ginger cats.

Donna-Dew

FeelingFeline, yes Nicademus had a name that suited him well. He was quite the lap cat too, but he found Scrabble to be a little boring...

Donna-Dew

Cowgirl, your Baby looks like such a sweetie pie, I know how you miss her.

Rose it looks like Jack could be full of vim and vinegar from time to time, this is obviously one of his lovey moments lol!

KT is that Percy in the box? A handsome ham he is.

It must be in their genes to try to fit into tight spots. This is where I caught Lily one day, I took the pic and she seemed none too phased. Then got a close-up. That basket remains on the table top now years later. So funny, she has never been found in that basket since, thankfully.... cats!

CAMommy

For Ruth...

feelingfeline

That Nicademus and scrabble photo is a classic! Wonderful!

feelingfeline

Great tight-fit kitty pics too!

ruthbru

Aww.......

kt1966

I love all the close up pics.

Donna, Nicodemus looks like such a character. I love the pic of him with the dog & falling asleep at scrabble

Yes that is Percy in the small box, and he is big...

And some of those poses aren't very dignified like the sitting up with tummies on display. I wonder if they know how silly they look. I guess not as they do like to be dignified most of the time..,.
