I'm just wild about Harry . . . (gray tabby lovers!) (dial up warning!)

[bertha katzenengel]

. . . and Harry's wild about meeeee . . .

(with Richard, his brother)

1. what a sweetie

( and my Babe looks a lot like this)

[bertha katzenengel]

3. Do you have pics of Babe?

(Or have we been through this drill once before? :eyes: -- can't remember shit!)

[barb162]

15. I have a million photos of my 4 cats

but I don't know how to work the photo thing here.

[bertha katzenengel]

17. A-ha!

Get a free account at a place like www.photobucket.com and you can upload photos. They provide a foolproof url that you can paste into the post window hear -- et voilà!.

I hope to see your photos sometime, Barb. :hi:

[barb162]

21. I will register with this place and then you will have to

tell me how incredibly beautiful my cats are (and they are). I do have hundreds and hundreds of photos. I will make everyone sick in the lounge if I start posting photos of my four brats. They will probably kick me off this website...I am a lifelong bigtime animal lover.

[bertha katzenengel]

22. They haven't kicked me off yet, so I'm sure you'll be safe.

Can't wait to see them! Be sure to start your own thread so everyone else can see them too! Do you have dogs too? Birds? Fish? Reptiles? Tribbles?

[barb162]

24. I do a lot of birdfeeding (and my neighbors hate me for it)

because they think it attracts wild animals, namely raccoons, opposums, etc. It never occurs to them that these animals were already here for millions of years. I also grow raspberries, peaches, etc., and animals like to eat those things and I do a lot of heavy cover shrub type gardening and natural plants so animals like to hang around here. Also I always keep birdbath water out so the birds find it very hospitable around my house. I have the 4 indoor cats and am feeding one stray right now and I hope to get near him soon but he is very shy. Only can get about 5 feet from him now. I have a lot of these sicko GOP types around here who want me to give the apples and peaches off my trees to them but they don't like the animals these same trees attract. They want a hyper-sanitized suburbia. If a raccoon comes around here and sits in my oak tree I say "hi rocky" and these idiots around here are calling animal control.

[barb162]

26. Babe

[barb162]

27. well that sure didn't work!

[bertha katzenengel]

28. Will you try again?

I hope!

[barb162]

30. you know, I got registered on that site and I am looking at the picture

of Babe on that site and I am now looking around DU for instructions trying to figure what to do next.

[barb162]

31. Babe

[bertha katzenengel]

34. Success! And what a beauty!

Thanks for the effort to get this up. What a beautiful cat. Meow!

[barb162]

37. You are now going to be sorry as I will probably be

posting the hundreds of photos of my 4. Do you think he sort of resembles Harry? Babe is lighter in color than he appears here as he was against the window and snow.

[bertha katzenengel]

42. Absolutely -- especially the facial mask.

They both seem to have the same shape of white. I can't get over it; Babe's a gorgeous boy.

I won't be sorry. I never, ever, ever, EVER get tired of looking at cat photos.

And my small gift to you in thanks for the photo of Babe: Pick up a little book called Bad Cat. You will laugh your butt off.

[barb162]

44. Cool, I will try to find it

[BrklynLiberal]

36. She is gorgeous!

[barb162]

38. Thank you, Babe is a 15 year old neutered male

He is also a 15 pounder

[BrklynLiberal]

41. ooooooops. He is so handsome.

[barb162]

43. Well, thank you (he knows he is)

[barb162]

32. check 2 posts down from this post, I think it came out

[MissMillie]

2. He is one handsome dude!

They're all beautiful, actually.

[bertha katzenengel]

4. and you

are one svelte chica! :hi:

[MissMillie]

11. well, I'm getting there anyway

I have more to lose, but never before have I ever thought I would actually get there. Now I do think I'll get there.

[bertha katzenengel]

13. Aw, hell, MissMillie, minimize, schminimize! Don't minimize your loss to

date! Make your accomplishment to date the GRAND OCCASION that it is!!

And remember the two rules of Weigh-In Day:

Loss = Success. Period.
Gain = Water Retention. That's all.

:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

5. Cutie

Our cat is gray with white pawsies too. (When did I start talking like this? I think it's because I'm homesick). :)

[bertha katzenengel]

6. You are away from home?

I haven't been around much lately....

[Lavender Brown]

14. My cat stayed with my parents when I left home

We didn't think she'd like to live in New York. :)

[bertha katzenengel]

29. I'm so sorry.

What do you think of New York?

[Lavender Brown]

33. I like it a lot

I've been here for three years, actually, I've just been homesick a lot lately. Even though my family lives only four hours away, I only see them a few times a year on holidays. And how could I not miss her:
:)

[Terran]

7. What a handsome fella!

And check out those big paws! He's going to be a big guy!

[bertha katzenengel]

9. He already is a big guy -- almost eleven years old, about 17 lbs!

:hi:

[auntAgonist]

8. soooo handsome! and so content by the look of him

thanks for sharing !

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

10. Hola!

:hi:

:bounce:

[auntAgonist]

12. pssst did you see

my before and after pics in Progmoms "who are you people' thread?

[bertha katzenengel]

20. I did; did you see my reply there?

[tjwmason]

16. And here's me thinking you were talking about H.R.H. Prince Harry of Wales

He does look quite gorgeous - can see why you love him, and it's most obvious why everybody with half a brain would love you as well.

[bertha katzenengel]

18. Hahahahaha... me... the royals... hahahahahaha...

I quit paying attention when Princess Diana died. No offense intended.

You're sweet, tj. Once again. :hug:

[48pan]

19. Nice Kitty!

I like cats. They are wild animals who allow us to socialize with THEM. It's kind of the inverse of a dog.

[bertha katzenengel]

25. "wild animals who allow us to socialize with THEM" -- hear, hear!

:hi: 48pan

[Zuni]

23. Harry is awesome

:bounce:

[BrklynLiberal]

35. Great shots..That first one is absolutely fantastic!

Harry and Richard napping together is also a classic.
Is Harry the guy who just wandered up to your house and stayed?

thanks so much for posting.

[bertha katzenengel]

46. No, that's Buddy.

Harry and Richard are littermates and were born in Chino, CA, July 20, 1994. :bounce:

[kedrys]

39. How gorgeous!! :)

Harry and Richard are both adorable (and Skittles and Charley, obviously)! We call the kneading thing "making biscuits" over here too. :D

Did you get a chance to check out my kitty posts? I even trucked out baby pictures of Plato and Socrates...

:hi:

[bertha katzenengel]

47. "Did you get a chance to check out my kitty posts?" -- Not yet...

can you post a link here for me? I'll check it out next time I'm on. Gotta go for now. :hi:

[kedrys]

48. Here they are

my babies :loveya:

40. Here is Junior, our 20-pounder grey tabby:

Found with his littermates at less than one week of age. He's doing pretty well, I'd say!!!

[elshiva]

45. Lovely! I love it when cats knead or "make biscuits" it's

an impulse from kittenhood when they knead momma to nurse...
