Please gush over my kitties

[MissMillie]

Newman (part siamese) and Millie (who is much bigger now).

We had to put Newman down in 2003, but we think that our newest cat, Cosmo, is possessed by Newman--lots of similar traits.

[Misunderestimator]

1. Oh my.... that is so cute...

Especially the way that Newman is making himself comfortable ON TOP of Millie. Sorry he's not around anymore. Cute.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

3. What beauties!

Very cute picture. Sorry for your loss. I love it when kitties just flop onto each other and don't seem to mind.

[MissMillie]

4. thank you!

That was the first week we had Millie. Newman was constantly trying to "assert" himself that whole week--even though he didn't have the equipment.

[LynneSin]

2. I wish I could get my kitties to snuggle together like that

This is the closest I can get Abbott & Evita together

:cry:

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. LynneSin

Were Evita and my Monty separated at birth?




(Sorry - don't mean to hijack the thread.)

[LynneSin]

32. You stole my CAT

That's my Evita - isn't she a princess!!!

21. Cosmo and Ricco are always together.

They sleep togther and when Cosmo gets in bed with us at night, Ricco will start meowing for Cos. Cosmo sometimes meows for him and he comes in our room or he'll go get him.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

23. So beautiful!

[MissMillie]

24. what an adorable picture!!!!!

Reminds me a bit of last night... As I lie down to sleep on one half of the bed, Millie and Siouxsie were cuddling and grooming each other on the pillows over on the other half of the bed.

[ronnykmarshall]

25. They do the same thing

The first week we had them, Cosmo is sucking on Ricco neck like he was nursing. For days Cosmo was drooling all the time. They now clean each other and then chase each other around the house.

[MissMillie]

26. When we first got Siouxsie

She would often "nurse" off of Newman. Of course, Newman didn't have the goods for that either, but I think what Siouxsie was really looking for was comfort.

[ronnykmarshall]

30. Probably the same with Cosmo.

The boys were in litter of six (one was adopted when this pic was taken) .......



Ricco was adopted once before we got him (for less than a month) and they gave him back to his foster mom.

Cosmo was sooooooo attached to his foster mom and the other kitties. So he was very shy when we got them and stayed next to Ricco 24/7. He hid a lot but would only come out when Ricco would get brave and explore.

I wish I could have gotten them when they were younger. But, we didn't lose Mickey until October and got the boys in mid November.

Here's a picture of their mama. Comso looks just like her. The littler was 6 tabbys and 6 black cats. Cosmo was the only one that was 100% black.

6. Did you make that afghan yourself?

Wait.

This is about kitties....

Nice kitties ya got there. Sorry to hear about Newman.

[MissMillie]

8. I did indeed

I love to crochet.... wish my hands (carpal tunnel and arthritis) were more cooperative.

Thank you for the sympathy on Newman, but he really is in a better place.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

7. At first glance I saw a "t" instead of a "k". Bummer. (nt)

[MissMillie]

9. Well you can gush over those too, if you like

but I'm not posting them for you.

[Bertha Venation]

12. How about for me?

;)

[MissMillie]

14. LOL

Sorry Bertha.... but gender wasn't the deal-breaker. I won't post them for anyone!

[Bertha Venation]

16. but I made you laugh!

that was my intent. :7

[MissMillie]

18. You did indeed

Thanks. A good laugh is necessary on a Friday afternoon.

[demnan]

10. Awwwwwwww!

That's a big lotta part Siamese if you ask me. RIP Newman

Let's see Cosmos when you get a chance.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

15. MissMillie

Any Seinfeld references, perchance? "Cosmo," "Newman"...?

[MissMillie]

19. YES!

We almost named Cosmo "Uncle Leo". Maybe next time.

Probably Dolores for the next girl kitty.

[ronnykmarshall]

27. People ask me the same question.

We name our Cosmo after Cosmo Castarini (Moonstruck - Vincent Gardena) and Ricco was almost Rocco (Madonna's son). I wanted both the cats to have Italian names.

11. How Precious! Just Darling!

13. they're very sweet

and I can almost feel that soft fur... wonderful!

[MissMillie]

17. Millie feels

almost like a rabbit, she's so soft.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

20. Aren't cats just totally irresistible?

I guess my priorities are all wrong (and I've been told so). I'll bypass a baby just to get to a kittycat!

[ronnykmarshall]

22. That's a great pic

Looks like Newman has a Mille pillow!

[Brewman_Jax]

28. Great pic!

Okay, I'll gush!

:wow: :wow: :wow: :wow:

:toast: :toast: :toast: :toast: :toast:

29. they're beautiful!

i miss my cats. i wish i could bring them to work with me.

[ablbodyed]

31. Great pic....

I have five: Ariel, Bucephalus, Caledonia, Phoenecia, and the killer-cute Antioch. I was playing with them (they deigned to allow me to.) I threw a crumpled ball of paper toward the ceiling fan, trying to get it to stay on one of the blades. I wasn't haveing much luck, but Pho-Pho and Antioch were watching, heads moving up-and-down, up-and-down; then it landed and STAYED. You should have seen the looks of absolute amazement: pupils enormous, mouths open. They stared at it for about a minute until I turned the fan on and the ball came flying down, and the both RACED around after it. They truly are SOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO smart.
