Here is a very cute one (not mine though)

[Crazy Guggenheim]

1. Meow.

[MissHoneychurch]

2. what a cutie

AWWWWWWWW

[Robeson]

3. My favorite was Squeaker, over on the Daily Kitten.....

...Squeaker was right below the one you posted. Squeaker is a mischievous little thing.... http://www.dailykitten.com/

[MissHoneychurch]

4. yes he is

I like this one too. Made me laugh out loud. I am addicted to DailyKitten

[WolverineDG]

92. That one is so precious

I've had many kittens who will stand in their food dishes & sometimes even the water dish! :)

dg

[Crazy Guggenheim]

5. This one.

[Robeson]

6. Yes, that's Squeaker......

...and that is a great kitty pic!!

[amitten]

63. Kitty porn!

:D

[Scooter24]

7. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

8. those aren't two happy kitties

:rofl:

[Robeson]

11. Poor little thing.....

...bless his heart....:-(

[MissHoneychurch]

12. do you mean the kitten

or the little boy?

[Robeson]

20. The kitten, of course!.....

...;-)

[Eurobabe]

96. That cat looks like something in the bottom of the ocean

[Rhiannon12866]

9. I am also fond of black kitties...

:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

10. Here is another one

(this time it is my late cat)

[Rhiannon12866]

15. Awww! What a sweetie! I'm so sorry she's gone... ;(

And here's mine. That kitten could have been her, long-haired, with the tiny bit of white at the throat...

Rhiannon:loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

19. here is my devil when she was a kitten

Octavia had a bit longer hair. Her grandma was a Persian and she had the softness of that fur and a bit short nose than the average house cat. I miss her. She is gone since a year. :cry:

[Robeson]

21. That's always a great picture of you MissHoneychurch....

...and as I've said before, Octavia is a beautiful name...:-)

[MissHoneychurch]

22. Thanks

the name fitted her. Even though we called her other names as well. Teufel, Deibel, Oki-Choki were favorite names as well :)

[Robeson]

23. We all have our little "pet" names for our furkids....

...;-)

[MissHoneychurch]

24. we sure do

:)

my first cat (ok, it was the family cat) was called Lillekort, or short Lille.





The name Lillekort comes from a Swedish or Norwegian fairy tale my brother read when we got him.

[amitten]

62. Damn, who's squeezing her back toes in that pic?

It is hard to resist the kitty toes, no?

[MissHoneychurch]

64. My mom did

the cat didn't mind. He was a real sweetheart. When she tried it with Octavia (the black one), she (my mom that is) would get scratched.
But my mom loved to do it.

[Jamastiene]

73. My kitty Yogi likes for me to

massage between his toes. He spreads them out so I can stick my finger in there and 'ssage his feet. He loves it.

[Rhiannon12866]

35. OMG! What a precious pic! Of you both, LOL! Thanks for sharing! :D

My beloved girl has been gone since September of 2001. She was a pretty amazing cat, whom I adopted when my uncle died. His bitch of a wife got rid of his animals and no one would take his two cats, so I did. I had known the older one, who was very nice cat, but somewhat reclusive, but the other one was a total mystery to me. All I was told was that "it" was friendly. What an understatement! She was pretty amazing, from day one, a very outgoing cat with a real personality, and I realized my incredible good fortune. I could take her with me anywhere, and did. She was quite young, so I thought I would have her for 20 years, but I lost her, after exhausting every option, at age seven. I still miss her so very much.;(

[MissHoneychurch]

37. I know how you feel

I lost my first cat at age 7 as well. He was hit by a car and afer searching I found him. He was such a sweetheart. Friendly with everybody. Loved petting. He would take my whole pillow to sleep on - didn't matter where I wanted to put my head :)

Octavia - she was a devil. She was my cat even though she lived most of her live at my moms. My mom misses her too of course. She turned 16. She loved to get petted also but the moment she had enough she would hit you. She never learned to not use her claws. I had scratches often enough. But she was a sweetheart nevertheless.

Darn, why do our kittens can't live a longer life?

[Rhiannon12866]

46. My local vet ran out of options, so he sent me to a cutting edge hospital.

The vet there was treating her with antibiotics and weekly acupuncture, and thought he'd found the answer, after consulting with neurologists, when he discovered the tumor. It was inside her head, and inoperable. I thought that if anyone could beat it, it would have been this fearless cat. She improved, due to the acupuncture, but I lost her 10 days after the final diagnosis. And my girl loved petting, as well. Would jump on anyone's lap and tap anyone, insistently, who wasn't paying attention, LOL! And she was declawed, not my doing. The only time I was ever grateful for this was when I had to give her a bath, when she was sick and got food on her fur. I fed her, for weeks, using a syringe. I had doubts, when the vet suggested this, but I underestimated my resilient cat. I still have trouble believing that she couldn't beat anything...;(

I subsequently adopted another black cat, one whom I'd seen outside and thought belonged nearby. It turned out that she'd been abandoned, and it took me four months and a have-a-heart trap to finally bring her inside. But she owed her rescue to Rhiannon, since this cat was also black, so I immediately noticed her, and tried to make friends with another black cat. She was 12 when I found her, and I lost her, as well, last year. And I agree. My heart has been ripped out far too many times. I wish that I could keep all of my guys forever.;(

Catlin:loveya:

13. kitten in a sink

[MissHoneychurch]

14. What is it with kittens and sinks?

cute pic. Thanks :)

[Orsino]

69. If you don't want a cat in your sink...

...then stop making them cat-shaped.

[DainBramaged]

16. have a glass o' kitten on me

And my sleeping kitties too

[Crazy Guggenheim]

17. One that's stuck.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

18. And this one.

[Scooter24]

25. A man and his kitty

at the Dolce & Gabbana fashion show :)

[MissHoneychurch]

26. the kitty is cute

the man ... we can argue about that :)

[NMMNG]

27. Kitties in sinks!

[MissHoneychurch]

30. Awwwww

too cute for words

[Oeditpus Rex]

28. I love Lucy

and she loves me. :loveya:

[MissHoneychurch]

29. Someone feels REALLY good

how is she doing. Did she forgive you?

[Oeditpus Rex]

31. Yeah

She's fine now. Still demands a lotta skritchins, though.

[MissHoneychurch]

32. well, they demand that no matter what

unless they aren't in the mood :)

[Oeditpus Rex]

38. And I'm happy to oblige her

Well... unless she's demanding it CONstantly. :eyes:

But I guess I make up for that by skritchin' her when she's not expecting it, like when she's asleep.

Matter o' fact, I'm gonna give her some right now. (She's asleep on the desk behind me.)

[MissHoneychurch]

39. I envy you

no furball near me :cry:

[Oeditpus Rex]

43. I'm sorry

:hug:

Everybody should have a warm kitty next to 'em.

[MissHoneychurch]

44. Don't I wish

but I am not having the time for a kitten right now. And to leave the kitten home alone would be just unfair.

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. This is true

I worry about what Lucy would do if I went back to work full-time.

[WolverineDG]

93. Dude, she is SO waiting for you to do that

how else is she going to get her paws on the credit card? ;)

mine get all huffy if i have to stay home (like today) because i'm not feeling well. i get the feeling that i'm crimping their evil plans to take over the universe or something....

dg

[Bridget Burke]

72. Two kitties could keep themselves company while you're out...

But who knows what kind of trouble they might get into!

[MissHoneychurch]

74. I only have a 50sqm apt

and two cats there .... my apt would be trashed when I come home ... LOL

[Bridget Burke]

80. Yes, their "amusement" ....

Would probably lead to mass destruction. Or targeted destruction!

[fleabert]

33. hello friend!, and here's an oldie, but a goodie...

and another...

[MissHoneychurch]

34. awwwwwww

thanks fleabert


and :hi: how are you? So good to see you again

[fleabert]

36. doing well!

we moved! that's why I haven't been on much. The last two months have been hell. I went to TX to take care of my mom, the holidays crept up on us, and then we moved two weeks after the new year! I just posted a couple of pics of our new town- check quick though, it's sinking like a rock!
look for 'I moved' :-)

how are you? anything new going on?

[MissHoneychurch]

40. Saw your post

looks gorgeous.

Not much new with me. Still on man-hunt :)

[fleabert]

41. make it a 'men - hunt', then you can have your pick of the litter!

:hug:

[MissHoneychurch]

42. LOL

or that. Actually I do have two guys on hand .... but psst :)

[Jamastiene]

77. Awwwwww, two white kitties. I love little

kittens, but there is something I love more about little white kittens. I don't know what it is. They are just so adorable.

[ET Awful]

47. Okay . . .

[MissHoneychurch]

48. YAY

Althea and Quinn are honoring my thread with their presence. Thanks ET :bounce:

:loveya:

[ET Awful]

49. Nah, it's they who are honored to be in such great company and to

be adored so :P

[MissHoneychurch]

50. Oh I adore them, alright

every time I see pics of them I want to grab through the computer and snatch them away from you :P

[In_The_Wind]

51. I don't have these guys anymore but they were wonderful friends.

Good Morning MissHoneychurch

[MissHoneychurch]

52. Good morning Joani

are ya sure the last one is a cat and not a flounder?

Beautiful pics. Thanks for sharing

[In_The_Wind]

53. That's Mic. He was a overly affectionate stray who adopted me.

The first day he showed up at my home he was fine. The next day he had a shattered leg. The vet said "It looked like someone kicked him." He needed surgery and lived with a pin in his leg while it healed. After the pin was removed Mic would to bring home bunnies as big as he was. He would leave them on the front stoop, a present for me. That cat wanted nothing more than to sit on my lap and purr. He was quite a drooler.

[MissHoneychurch]

54. great story

thanks for sharing

:hug:

[LynzM]

61. OMG, I cracked up at that!

:rofl: It's a flounder, no wait, a cat! LOL

I love that first pic you posted, too... why do they have to grow up? Couldn't they stay that cute forever??

:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

65. They stay cute

even as adults. It is another cuteness but still .... :)

(hard-die cat lover here :) )

[Trigger Hippie]

55. Here's a new one of my baby, Tuna.

[MissHoneychurch]

56. she is beautiful

and found a very comfy place to sleep.

[Allenberg]

102. My cat's name is Toona.

57. sugar bear

[MissHoneychurch]

58. awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

:hide:

[samplegirl]

59. No thats his

[fizzgig]

60. here are my (surrogate) babies

this is mia



this is mira



and this is my sister's kitty

[MissHoneychurch]

66. funny shots

all of them. I bet they would be embarrassed if they knew you posted those pics :)

[GalleryGod]

67. Here ya' Go!

[MissHoneychurch]

68. Great picture

even though I ment our furry friends :P

[Jamastiene]

70. Here are some of my little family.

Domino


Sunday Girl



Yogi

[MissHoneychurch]

71. What a beautiful bunch

looks like they get into mischief a lot :)

[Jamastiene]

75. Yogi does more than the other two.

He's his momma's boy though. Even when he tears my stack of puzzles into a million papers strung from one end of the room to the other, he's still my baby boy.

[MissHoneychurch]

76. the pic of him between the papers

just screams "Mischief"

my cat loved playing with the papers. Or with maps. You fold them out on the floor ... and she sat on it or crawled underneath. When you where pointing out something you better were watching out :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

78. I wish I could make a good video of Yogi under papers and my

jackets. I tend to hang my jackets on the kitchen chairs when I get home. He gets under either them or some papers and looks up like he is making a game out of it. He opens his eyes really wide and looks up like he's waiting for someone or something to ambush. He'll run out all of a sudden if you walk by him and tap your ankles. He doesn't even use his claws. I call it playing ambush.

He also loves to run through the house and jump on the tallest thing he can find in the area and scream at the top of his lungs. He usually has the same look on his face when he does that. My aunt has a lift contraption that looks like a miniature crane. He jumps on it and climbs out to the end of the crane arm part. He falls off and keeps right on going. He'll do it over and over again. I call it playing pirate. He loves to play pirate too.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

79. kick

[chat_noir]

81. Cleo and Sweetboy

brother and sister

[ET Awful]

83. I think we have a matched pair of kitties

:P

[Patiod]

85. Wow ET - those weren't exactly taken w/a cell phone, huh?

What amazing quality pictures - I feel like you can reach out through the computer and touch them.

[ET Awful]

86. Hehehe, Thank you, this is my absolute favorite kitty pic I've done though

This camera does a great job under the right conditions :)

[Eurobabe]

95. Awww Quinn, he's so gorgeous!!

The Daemon highly approves...(Althea's purty too!)

[redwitch]

116. Such great kitties!

Althea looks blissfully comfortable and Quinn looks regal and wise.

I do so love a good kitty thread! Nothing more cheering in the world to me.

[MissMillie]

82. Your wish is my command

These are not mine (except the last one), just some adorable pics I keep around for when I need a little joy.

[MissHoneychurch]

104. Thank you MissMillie

and I just LOVE the pic of your kitten. It is hilarious. :rofl:

[begin_within]

84. OK, kitties...

[huskerlaw]

87. Meet my new baby

Spencer...

[Sanity Claws]

88. Ahhhh

I like the name. You said in a different thread that you to see whether the name suits him. Does it?

[huskerlaw]

89. Yes it does

he's staying Spencer. :)

[MissHoneychurch]

105. He has such a beautiful face

:wow:

[redwitch]

115. still a cutie pie- how is riley adjusting?

He looked quite undecided initially. :hi:

[huskerlaw]

119. He's still undecided

Spencer has that nasty cold-like thing that's common in animal shelter pets, so he's not very playful yet. Riley hasn't figured out what he's doing here. And both of them appear to hate me, lol.

Actually, I think Spencer either hasn't had much human contact or had negative human contact before, so he's very skiddish...and being forced to take medicine isn't helping that. But he's coming around, slowly.

:hi:

[redwitch]

120. poor Spencer! Sounds a bit like our kitty Gloria

She was so sick and sad when my hubby found her- she barely moved for weeks. And she is still a bit skittish after a year and a half. She startles very easily. But she is also the loviest wee thing. She and her sister Trouble do not get along at all. But Trouble is a tad nuts. Mackie on the other hand loves little Gloria and she adores him. She tries to pick fights with him, she grooms him and snuggles him. It is very nice to see the tiny wee Gloria with the gigantic Mac cat!

Here's hoping that Spencer and Riley get to be good friends too!

[cfield]

90. Mustang as a beebee keety

[Lorien]

101. So cute!

He/ she looks particularly comfy in the first pic. :loveya:

[Kerrytravelers]

91. Here are some of my pics!

There's Pitter-pat

And a pic off the internet(s) from the Human Society where we found the little stinker


And here is Sniffles...

eating flowers

posing for Playgirl

hanging out in a shoebox

and (unwillingly) in a Santa hat



And her eis Buddy, a neighbor's cat who spent more time hanging with me in my apartment than any place else!

[MissHoneychurch]

106. great pics

thanks.

What is is with kitties and boxes? The smaller the box, the more interest they take and try to fir in :eyes:

[LoveMyCali]

94. Here's the man in my life

all 16 pounds of him!




His name is Cali (short for California), he's 2 years old and he's a big spoiled baby!

[Rhiannon12866]

98. What a lovely cat!!!

Sorry, but he deserves to be spoiled, but I have felt that way with all of my guys, who have all come from rescue, as did your very handsome guy. He deserves all that you give him, and he must know it!:loveya:

Rhiannon:hi:

[MissHoneychurch]

107. Is he a Birma?

he is gorgeous


And welcome to DU :hi:

[LoveMyCali]

111. Thanks for the welcome

I think that he is a mitted ragdoll but I'm not sure. Believe it or not, his papers from the PetSmart adoption clinic I got him at say he is a siamese. :shrug:

[MissHoneychurch]

124. Here is a pic of a Birman cat

I just think yours looks like it :shrug:

[LoveMyCali]

127. When I first searched for information

on what this beast of mine might be, I thought he might be a birman also but his personality more closely matches a ragdoll. He's a big baby who follows me through the house like a dog. He even knocks on the shower curtain when I'm in there because he can't stand not being able to see me. LOL

Here's a picture of a mitted ragdoll

[Rhiannon12866]

128. I think you're right, since this looks just like him.

Both cats appear incredibly regal, as if they're aware of how lovely they are. But I do think that Cali's the more handsome of the two...:loveya:

BTW, welcome to both of you to DU!:toast::bounce:

Rhiannon:hi:;)

[LoveMyCali]

130. I'm biased

but I agree that Cali is much better looking and I think that the cat in the picture is a female (Cali is still prettier)

Cali and I are both pleased to have finally joined in with all the cool kids at DU :hippie:

[Lorien]

97. Oberon, Nimue, Calliope, and Puck

[Rhiannon12866]

99. You must know that your cats are exquisite, my friend...

And they surely know it... Thanks so much for the pix.:loveya:

[Lorien]

100. Thanks! The little ones have since been adopted out

(they were fosters) and lucky for them they went together to a very loving home. Oberon still misses them, though.

[Rhiannon12866]

118. This must be tough on all of them, since I know that they do get attached.

But I'm so glad that you were able to place them together! And I would expect no less from the majestic Oberon! My little dog was raised with his biological sister. When his owner died, they were placed separately, not good for him, since she was the leader. But, when he found me, he bonded, from the very first day, with my cocker spaniel. He had found the sister that he'd lost. But then she got sick and I eventually lost her, despite fighting the good fight. I explained to my vets how this would affect my little guy. He hasn't been the same dog since.;(

[MissHoneychurch]

108. Thanks for posting those pics

are you going to get new foster kitties to keep Oberon company?? He is such a great mom-of-time :)

[Lorien]

109. I've had several other batches since those two

he only really bonded with one other pair-then I had several deaths in a row (panleukapenia and FIP), and it just got to be too heart wrenching. I'm taking a break for now, and maybe I'll take in some more in the spring. Oberon would spend all day, every day looking after little ones if he could.

[MissHoneychurch]

110. Yes you posted about your losses

it was really heart wrenching :cry:

it is amazing that such a big cat is so tender with the little ones. He is not only big, he also has a big heart :hug:

[NMMNG]

103. More kitties in sinks!

[Steph13]

112. You asked for it!

Here are my previous foster kitties!

Alan & Martina. Battled feline herpes virus & Martina lost an eye due to it. Both were adopted out together to a loving home!




Blaze. My very first foster.. who could say no to this?? He's the one that got me into fostering. Walked into the shelter to volunteer with the dogs, and someone shoved him in my face & asked "Do you want to foster him??" Basically if I didn't, he'd be sent to the county shelter where they don't have the resources for kittens his size/age. Of course I had to say yes!!!


Carston & Shawnee. Big enough for adoption, but needed more socialization.


Chai, Earl Grey & Machiatto (orange) - Chai & Earl Grey were brothers, Machiatto was a lone kitten 'adopted' into their family.


Chai sleeping - gotta love sleeping kittens. :)


Hank. Longtime foster because he needed eyelid surgery & ointment in his eyes until he could have it when he was older. Had to find another foster home as he didn't get along with a newly adopted kitty I adopted.


Ikea. Another poor victim of feline herpes virus. :( Kept both eyes, but vision was poor. Found a great home anyways!


Kamali - first mama & kittens I fostered. I adopted her little calico daughter. I called the mother Kami for short, and the little one 'Lil Kami' - so when I adopted the kitten, I named her Kami after her mom. :)


Big Kami & Lil Kami :) (Big Kami watching Lil Kami from my lap)


Also had a black brother/son named Calvin.


Marana was the 2nd mama/litter I had. Got them from the second day they were born though!




Denver. Just barely underweight for neuter so fostered for short period of time with Atlanta & Phoenix.


Atlanta.


Phoenix.


Rilla. Fostered her for a short while to give Blaze (first foster) a playmate while the vet was on vacation & couldn't spay her for a week.


Wilbur & Templeton. My first 'hissy kitties' :) Had to force cuddle them & socialize them before adoption. Templeton (the black & white one) was the worst. He was as loving as could be though when someone adopted him! :)


For anyone out there thinking about fostering.. let me just tell you, it is sad & hard to give them up.. but the feeling you get from actually helping these babies start out in life & find them a home (I foster for a specific shelter) is just immeasurable!!! :)

Sorry for so many pics, but I at least have to include my own clan too. :)

This is my Cuddles. Got her when I was 12, and she'll be 18 in April this year. :) I don't know what I'll ever do without her. She has been diabetic the past 3 1/2 years, but diet controlled on low carb wet food for nearly a year now. Also diagnosed with CRF (chronic renal failure) 7/05. Giving her sub-q fluids every night & she's back to her old self now! :) After all the great years she's given me, it's the least I can do for her.




Kami.. she's a little over 1 now.. my old foster.


Bandit.. she's 6. She's my 'special kitty' :) Isn't always the first to catch on to things, but that just makes her that much more special to me. :)


Here's Misha. I did adopt all but Cuddles from the shelter I volunteer/foster at. I believe she's a pit bull/greyhound mix, although from a shelter, you never know how many breeds are thrown into the mix! ;)

Here she is prancing around, wagging her tail, and she gives me a submissive grin every so often. :)


When she's all out running, she does have a greyhound run. :P


Bestest buds for life. :) Kami & Misha are so close.. it's so sweet!

[IndyOp]

114. Steph13 - Thanks for all the pics & Thanks for fostering these babies! n/t

[ThomCat]

133. I LOVE the kitties.

I will have to start getting some digital photos of my 3 babies. Soon. Soon I will be able to share in the picture posting on kitty threads. :)

[In_The_Wind]

134. ~

[nickinSTL]

135. Woohoo! kitten thread!

Ah, how I miss having a cat.

Someday, I'll have to get a scanner and upload pics of my late cat.
