Cats and SEIV

Yep, this thread is obviously striking a true cord with some of us.

I should now introduce you to the 'real' Growltigga - my tortoiseshell and white monster - this cat weighs in at a 'vet verified' 12 kilos (about 30 pounds to you yanks), she is about 31/2 feet long, muscly as hell and is currently rolled up in a ball at my feet, purring like a messerschmidt and disembowelling her favourite mouse - her brother Ella is much bigger

Are you sure that's a cat and not a north american mountain lion

I live in a dorm. No cat jumping on my keyboard... I miss my cat.

On a side note we (the city of El Paso where I am currently not located) had a mountain line prowling some of the neighborhoods that were built a bit too close to the mountains. From my understanding several people are missing pet dogs and one person was very lucky that he had a VERY large pet dog (forget the breed) or alternatly that it wasn't hungry (the cat that is) as he was walking it and they ran into the cat.

Hrmm... that was almost a year ago. I wonder if anything has happened with that since then. Some of the people wanted to hire someone to kill it.

Had found a cat that had been living in my neighbor's front bushes for quite some time- she had a little cleared out area where she was hanging out at.

I used to feed her periodically, but finally just adopted her in until I could find someone to take her.

She was the friendliest orange tabby-cat I have ever met! She would always like to hang around me while I played on my computer, and adored being pet. But she wasn't in very good shape, and was very thin and was always drooling.

Finally, I got in contact with a stray animal adoption/clinic place, and the owner told me that she had hypo-thyroidism, which accounted for her being thin. The owner decided to take her home so she could have proper care, and because the owner just loved that cat too.

When I asked them about why she would always drool, they said that the cat would get so excited about being pet she would drool! :^)

They also said that orange, striped females are rare in cats.

No offense to anybody here but besides the fact that they make cute sounds, cuddly, and just has a face that you can't frown upon, cats are the pets from down under under.

They really don't obey you,
They really can't be trained,
They make bad... stuff around,
and... they... scratch... horribly...

Dogs are the way for me

Speaking of cats...

My cat Spoogy might have just saved me from a dangerous situation. I was washing dishes and listening to music pretty loud when I saw my cat dash out onto my balcony, which he does when something interesting is happening. I don't usually make anything of it, but I took a quick look out from the kitchen and there was a person just below (my balcony is about 2 metres off the ground). I just thought it was someone walking their dog as usual...but two minutes later, the single lady next door comes banging on my door...someone was just on her balcony!

Lucky for me, if it wasn't for my cat, the guy would probably have came onto my balcony and since my door was nice and wide open...who knows...
