What an awesome thing you did, SH, rescuing the poor little guy! Keep us updated on his progress! Most of our cats in the past have been rescues or strays that adopted us. One such cat is the one we call Icy. She showed up in the middle of winter back in 2004. Was only a few months old. She knew what the inside of a house was since she wanted in so bad and is deathly afraid of the outside. To this day if she even thinks you are walking near the door with her, she will freak out. By the way, she is the spawn of satan. She's very evil. She is also crazy. The slightest sound will send her running. If the slightest thing is out of place she approaches it cautiously. She knows how things are suppose to be and don't like misplaced objects.



This one is named Dover. He is a Birman that we rescued from an animal shelter at the end of this past February. He was actually on the local news for their Pet of the Week segment. We called first thing on a Monday morning and got him. He's a real dork. He loves to play and is always chasing bugs. He and Icy are always chasing each other. In the shot above, Icy has become a fat cow, but she has lost some weight now that she has a friend to chase. She's still fat, though.



Here's a pic I took of both of them a while back. Now if they get that close, they start wrestling with each other.

You are never lonely when you have a cat nor are you ever crowded.

I got to name the two cats of a fellow co worker. Bob and Ally (prefix that infront of the word cat to see how the naming process was done), but alas, bob was killed by a car after 6 months. They got a replacement cat named Fang (Loved to bite a rubber stress ball, hence it's name)

SH, he is Gourgeous with a capital G!! You're lucky you're on the other side of the pond or there would be an attempted heist

Seriously though, he's beautiful, I've always had a soft spot for the Siamese, and I love the name, Zero. I'm sure that when he's feeling better he'll be flying around the house like one too

How is he drinking? And has he been to the toilet, if so how is it? All are important factors. However, he looks in good shape aside from the thin-ness, so I think the forum has got itself a new mascot to stand up there with old Niki.

@Oberon

He's become quite a sneaky little devil. Took him outside for a bit of exercise, and he made an escape attempt. Managed to catch him thankfully.

I don't know if I've ever mentioned it on the forum before, but I've also had a dog for nearly 7 years now. Meet Wallie (sorry for the red-eye; makes him look like a demon dog):

Fat little guys, lol. I suppose they're nice around strangers, yes?

This is Semtex, who was a few months old and a bag of bones when we found him. Since been rehomed.



And this is Rasputin, destroyer of socks :p. He likes to sleep on the keyboard while I'm gaming.
Rasputin kind of reminds me of my old cat Bumps (she died a while ago, though):



She looks like a demon in that picture, lol.

I've found something quite cute in the fellow. He enjoys sitting on my desk and watching the monitor when I play flight sims or military games (but he always chimes in when I play IL2 1946 or Silent Hunter III/IV). As I type this, he's picking at my fingers with his little paws. That's also something he doesn't get tired of... unfortunately.

I'm gradually becoming more and more attached to Zero and I'm enjoying his curious ways. I love the little guy.

I had fish that would group together and do that with a PS1. Unfortunately, they died after their bowl tipped over when I wasn't home.

lol Dover isn't really that fat. He looks like it because he is so hairy. Icy is just all bulk. lol They're good around strangers, too.

and

Missy:
That's quite a cool looking duo you got there! What kind of cat is Missy? She look quite big and hairy.

They are both British Shorthairs, but the vet said Missy is long-haired because she has some Norwegian Forest Cat in her make-up.

This is Missy looking like she owns the place:


and this is Felix proving he really is an idiot:
