He's been getting a little more stronger and has taken up residence in the guest bedroom. Wallie and him get along fine, but little Wal is scared of him (he's never seen a kitten before). However, they play together a lot and are good friends.

Here are a few more pictures of him and Wallie:

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.

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.

we have 6 cats and my cat, Red, a big orange thing likes to sit in the living room and watch TV with us.

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.

Here are our two cats. They are both rescue cats and came as a pair. I think that having 1 cat is great, as it provides company for you, but having 2 cats is so much more fun, as they provide company and mischief for each other.

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.

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:

You must remember.. he is a cat... and ALL cats are born brain dammaged....

I dont believe there is a cat in the whole world that can resist an empty basket or a shoe box or a paper bag.. especially the paper bag..

Here to prove your point StdDev is Felix enjoying the endless delights of an empty toilet roll bag:

Cheers for that StdDev!

This is one of the reasons I like cats so much, they have an incredible amount of personality for their size. Plus they are very independant, which means NO WALKIES!! (Although I would love to have a dog, cats are easier when everyone works.)

I have an affinity for cats as well...
Wifezilla and I recently aquired a pair of new kittens..
The male, a black cat with a white underside (kind of like an inverted skunk), and a pure white female (well almost pure white.. looks like someone with car grease on their hands touched her on the head).
They're named respectively "Oreo" and "Snow wad".

They are both very affectionate! the problem with that is it looks like I've been (as Neal and other Texans might say) "pissed through bobbed wahr"!
Just imagin living with a pair of little wads of needles that just cant get enough of you! sigh...
But they are most entertaining and I wouldnt trade them for anything...

LOL! That was really funny! Most cats have an uncanny sense of bravery.

hehe That reminds me of an old pic I took of Icy about a year and half ago with my old camera. I had a small plastic Wal*Mart bag just sitting there. I had got a memory card for said camera, but the camera would work right with it (it was a piece of junk that I have since gotten rid of). Anywho, when I saw the cat jump up and start messing around with the bag, she eventually got it on her head. The bag wasn't sitting around fluffed open, either. I had to pull it off her head.

Just putting this back up the list so it doesn't get lost!
