Isn't it cute when cats curl up in a ball and purr?

Isn't it cute when cats curl up in a ball and purr? My kitty is on my bed curled up in a ball and purring right now. It is sooooo adorable!

Do any of you have cats that do that?

I use to have a book called 100 uses for dead cats, it was pretty neat! :D

:biglol

Does that include skunks?

Would skunks be classified in the same CATagory?

I found a dead skunk underneath by back porch and whew! Even dead dried up to the bone..... PEEEEE UUUU! And NOW, that it was all cleaned out.... a "CAT" from the neighborhood decided to take up residency underneath there and use part of it as a litter box! I'm really ticked! Cute pruuuuuurrrrrring curled up cat! yeah right, this cat curls up in my flower bed and breaks my flowers while he's all curled up purring friggin cute!

And to think! I love animals! and most domesticated pets.

Why it was just last night that I had a dream about someone kissing a baby piglet as it was perched on their shoulder like a bird would do, and the person started to groom the piglet and commenced to combing the sparsely grown hair on it's fuzzy little head! :crazy Whew! What a dream! Talk about "Dave" being weird in posting so many weird things!
But I'm still ticked at that CAT! :o

Brian and Relic, all I can say is horrible, just horrible.

You know, God made dogs to show us how we should be. God made cats to show us how we actually are. That's why some people don't like cats.

I love kitties though. We have four. We used to have five, but my dear old Miranda passed away last summer.

And, yes Dave. It's very cute when they curl up in ball and purr. One of our cats, BooBoo, likes to curl up on my feet and sleep. I usually never sleep with my feet covered and then I'll wake up with the cat on them. But, he's warm and purring, so I don't mind.

Handy,

Did you miss this one statement I made?

And to think! I love animals! and most domesticated pets.

Let me tell you how many pets I've had in my lifetime, being raised in the city.
When I was age 7 - my brother had a pet mouse in a small pet aquarium.
Again, at another time when I was still age 7 - we took in a stray Albino German Sheppard and a stray calico cat. (My mom took the calico cat to the vet, but it died because when we found it it had a horrible case of woms. The sheppard my mom found a home for it.
When I was age 9 - we took in another stray cat.
Then there was a long period of time, my mom refused us to have pets.

However, when I left home, and from the time I was 21 onward, on and off through the years I had nothing but pets galore.
When I was age 21 - had taken in the runt of a the litter. My little terrior was my sweetie.
plus had a home made 60 gallon fish tank full of tropical fish in the living room, and a 20 gallon fish tank in my bedroom and a few siamese fighting fish in their own tanks.

then after my children were born....

had 10 cats, and 3 dogs, a salamander, a turtle, a tadpole, a small garter snake, and a guinnie pig, and a finch, and 1 cockatiel. Didn't have them all at the same time except for the time we had 10 cats and 2 dogs.

Then after my children were out of the house.... I had 4 dogs , 2 cats and a 55 gallon full of salt water fish.

And guess what! I'm alergic to the dander from animals!

Please don't tell me I should be ashamed. Just because I don't like the behavior of one cat and a skunk that have invaded the underneath of my back porch and smashed my flower bed doesn't mean I don't love animals. As a matter of fact. I was looking for that CAT the other day to offer it some food, but he wasn't around. Anyway.... I'm soon to install some grids around the porch and hope that will take care of the invasion there. And the flower garden? ... Well, I'm hoping to find something that will deter the cat from making a bed to destroy my flowers. I don't care if the cat makes a bed anywhere else around my yard, just that I have to find a way to deter it away from my flowers.

Yo, I still think what Brian said about having that book was funny. I know he was JOKING.

Have a good day. :D

So do I and so was I. ;)

As far as keeping the kitties out of the garden, many people have success with spreading coffee grounds around the flowers. The coffee won't harm the flowers and cats don't like it. Also, you can get motion detection sprinklers from lawn and garden stores. A few sudden soakings will deter most cats as well.

Some advocate the use of cayenne pepper, but I've heard that it's harmful to the cats, so I'm not so sure about using that.

Thanks for the tips! :D
Now, instead of burying the coffee grounds in the composte pile I'll spread them in the flower garden. :yes :D




I LOVE ANIMALS
but hate some behaviors!

I would never do anything to harm a domestic animal. I don't really care for cats, but moreso their irresponsible owners who believe it's ok to let them roam free all over my neighborhood,lol.

One time I found a cat that someone had shot in the head and left for dead. I took him to the vet and he got all patched up and recovered. That cat literally had a hole through it's head!! I had a ferret and they played together for a few months at my house. Once he ran out the door and never returned. Traitor!! :D

Now, I have two Great Danes and a chiuahua/ terrier mix. The terrier is the boss,lol.

Cats are ok in my book, the kids really like them, but I really did have that book.

Aww.. all this talk about pets makes me miss mine! I had two cats, Aiko and Hoshi (Japanese for Beloved and Star) and than a chihuahua named Chester :D Every dog I have ever had has been named Chester.. don't get me wrong..there is not that many..but still lol

it's in memory of my first dog (named Chester, of course) that we had to give away because we were moving to a place that didn't allow pets

 

[Lance_Iguana]

I have a very fat and old cat named Mittens. we have to shave him because thanks to his age he doesn't clean himself anymore. My family got him a cat bed and he loves it. There isn't a time anymore where he isn't in that bed looking adorable.

I can relate to the dogs named Chester. My grandfather always had a bulldog named Mickey. When they first married during the Depression, my grandfather wanted a bulldog, but they couldn't afford to feed one. For his birthday, my grandmother bought him a stuffed toy bulldog and named it Mickey. Then when times got better, they got a real bulldog and named it Mickey. Over the 64 years they were married, they a had number of "Mickeys" and the toy Mickey was always under the end table next to Grandpa's chair. It used to be a fun game to hide behind Grandpa's chair and growl or bark and Grandpa would say, "You hush now, Mickey!" My mom now has the original stuffed Mickey. All the white on it is yellowed and there are patches of the plush that has been worn away from the kids, grandkids, great-grandkids and now my grandparents great-great-grandkid's playing with it.

Lance, we have a Mittens, too. I'm sure your Mittens appreciates the added help now that he's an old guy.

Now, I have to say that while our cats look adorable when they're asleep, our dog doesn't. That's because our dog usually sleeps on his back with all for legs sticking in the air and his tongue hanging out. Not adorable, but hilarious!

Pets are SO cool!

I use to have a book called 100 uses for dead cats, it was pretty neat! :D

Don't run away, I'm not done with you yet!



Done!


My cat is almost 13 and still purrs like a kitten. :yes

 

[GojuBrian]

Oh, it was 101 uses.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/101_Uses_for_a_Dead_Cat

I'm so ashamed........... :D

... and I may even still have my copy too.

..and to upset even more people.... :mad

..from an Australian perspective the domesticated cat is a menace and should be systematically eradicated from our country starting with compulsory neutering of all domestic cats. Domestic cats currently have to be kept inside at night in Australia due to our unique wildlife.

We have a problem with feral cats and the owners putting bells around the necks of their feline pets just makes them better hunters.

In the 220 years since the arrival of white man in Australia 17 species of mammals alone have become extinct in this country, none with any natural predators. Cats, rabbits and foxes are our number one culprits and all of them introduced.

If you enjoy fox hunting, come to Australia, no greenies here trying to stop you, here they will cheer you on.
