I think we need a...KITTY THREAD!

[huskerlaw]

On edit: ooops...I missed Bertha's thread! Ok, this one is for cats of all sizes, not just the kittens... ;)

My 2 guys, Spencer & Riley


Spencer...


Riley...


Both...

[momophile]

1. I like that last picture of them hugging.

Here is my darling kitty:

[bertha katzenengel]

3. I think that is the best cat photo I've ever seen on DU.

That is fabulous!

[momophile]

12. well thank you; however...

I've seen your kittens and my girl has nothing on them! Your pix are absolutely wonderful! I can imagine having kittens around and it's a wonderful thought!

[bertha katzenengel]

38. It's not just the cat -- although she is beautiful. It's the photo.

Great composition, fantastic focus, and you perfectly captured a wonderful look on her face. Great photo. :yourock:

[LadyoftheRabbits]

4. That's adorable!

What a sweet face :D

[momophile]

13. thank you!

she's my sweetheart.
:hi:

[huskerlaw]

5. Awww, omg!

What a cute baby!

[momophile]

15. thank you and...

thanks for letting me share my sweety with your sweeties!

[Arugula Latte]

9. Oh good gawd.

That's just too much. :loveya:

I've got a beautiful girl who has different colored eyes like that.

[momophile]

14. It must mean that they are special...

and it sure attracts the attention!
:hi:

[Kajsa]

43. That is an incredible photo.

You really captured her well in this shot.
She's adorable.

;-)

[samplegirl]

78. 2 cute two cute to cute

[bertha katzenengel]

2. Husker sweetie, my favorite new Californian . . .

It's not always all about Bertha's cats. ;)

Usually. Just not always.

It's okay. You didn't know.

Just don't let it happen again.

BTW, GO DODGERS :bleeding Dodger blue these days:

edit: Duh. The cats. I love them both. I'll bet that white fur is the softest fur on earth. :)

[huskerlaw]

6. Hee hee

I've been avoiding your kitten threads because I WANT one! ;) I also have a co-worker whose cat just had kittens and I want one of hers too. But I can't, and it's killing me...so I'm trying not to look at kitten pics. Particularly adorable ones like yours!

Riley's fur is, indeed, extremely soft. I think Spencer may have him beat though.

What's this about the Dodgers?? I thought you were an Angel fan!

[bertha katzenengel]

7. Dude, I am THE Halos' Fan. But I don't think they're going to pull

it out this season (don't tell anyone I told you that). Of course, I still love them, root for them, would DIE for th.... okay, that's a bit much.

Plus, my beloved BIL is THE Dodgers' Fan, and where he roots, I root.

I saw a game in 1977 . . . Dodgers vs Yankees . . . World Series . . . :P

[huskerlaw]

8. Oh suuuuuuure

jump on the bandwagon!

;)

I've only seen one MLB game. Dodgers vs D'Backs. July 4, 2006.

Yup, I know it's pathetic.

[bertha katzenengel]

10. You're kidding!

Husker, I don't know exactly where you live, but you are within 150 miles of three fabulous parks. I've never been to a Padres game, and Angels Stadium does serve Pepsi :puke: and probably the most expensive concessions in the majors, but still:

GO! OMG, I can't believe you . . . ;)

[huskerlaw]

11. I know, I know

I was even in San Diego this weekend and literally drove past 2 games in progress on the way home! Both Angels Stadium and Dodgers Stadium were lit up like Christmas trees.

However, Anaheim and San Diego are a bit too far away to just pop over for a night game (especially during the week) and Dodgers Stadium, frankly, is a pain in the ass. It took nearly 2 hours to get out of the parking lot!

[Kajsa]

41. Huskerlaw and Bertha,

You are two of my favorite ladies.

Plus, you have some of the best kitty photos around.

Kitties, Dodgers, Angels, being progressive Dems,
we've got a lot in common, ladies!

I'm an Angel fan, but this is not their season, no way.
I'm not jumping ship here, but I'm thrilled that the Dodgers
are doing so well. It's been a dry spell for them, until now.

Oh, I almost forgot.

Nemo and Darwin- brothers ( twins when they've just had a bath)
I know, the lighting is terrible, but it's a rare time when they are
not fighting for best position on the "tree".

[huskerlaw]

47. Well, thank you!

You know, Dodgers...Angels...it's all the same city, right? (ok, only if you use the ridiculously long official Angels title, but you know what I'm sayin')

Besides, the progressive female thing totally outweighs minor baseball differences. ;)

I gotta say...Nemo and Darwin are gorgeous (or if they prefer...handsome). :hug:

[Kajsa]

49. Thanks.

:hug:

[bertha katzenengel]

82. What beautiful cats.

Keep in mind that the Halos & Dodgers have a very big connection: Mike Scioscia! He was their catcher for their '81 and '88 World Series Wins. He also caught Orel Hershiser as Orel was breaking Don Drysdale's scoreless innings records. :loveya: Mike.

[Kajsa]

87. Thanks, Bertha.

I didn't know that about Mike Scioscia. He's a great coach,
the Halos are having an up and down season. It's not like 2002!
You, dear lady, are very knowledgeable about baseball!

Who says women don't " know anything about sports", huh?
Just talk to Bertha!

:hug:

Yeah, Mike's cute, too. ;-)

[bertha katzenengel]

88. Baseball is one of the things that are central to my life.

Sounds odd, maybe, but I love everything about the game. Softball is a poor substitute, but the only one available to me.

"Just talk to Bertha" - thanks for that compliment. :blush: (But it has to be baseball. Don't know any other sports.)

:hi:

[Ellen Forradalom]

20. I'M not your favorite new Californian??

Sob, sniff...oh wait, I'm ZombyWoof's favorite new Californian. Never mind.

I'd post a kitty pic, but we have a dog.

[bertha katzenengel]

39. I didn't even realize. Or -- if I knew, I forgot. Mind like a steel

sieve, I tell ya. :eyes:

When did you move, and where do you live?

[RumpusCat]

16. My cat got shaved

He's generally a very, very fluffy cat but got very matted and had to be shaved. For some reason the groomer put a jaunty little scarf around his neck. She said it was to make him feel better... Tell me, does he look like he feels better to you?? :rofl:


Here is a picture of him staring with PURE EVIL HATRED right at your soul.


Here he is showing off his still-floofy tail--you can use that to gauge how furry he used to be (very).

[huskerlaw]

17. Poor baby!

Actually, when I was little we had a cat named Fuzzball (appropriately) who also got shaved once a year. He too gave us the pure evil stare for a few days, but then he seemed to like it.

[RumpusCat]

26. I can't help but think it feels better to be shaved

After all, this cat lives with my parents in tropical Tennessee!

[LisaLynne]

24. Cats love those round scratching things, don't they?

Mine are too good for most toys, but they are all in love with that. They take turns sleeping on it, scratching it, chasing the little ball around and around. It's very cute. A winner in my house. :)

BTW, what a lovely kitty!

[RumpusCat]

25. Thanks! Despite his rage he's an incredibly sweet cat

And yeah, the scratchy round thing is a hit with these cats (he's actually one of my parents' but still mine). The cat I have in my apartment didn't care for it, tho'. Picky creatures!

[Sanity Claws]

35. Where do you get insert for that thing?

I bought that toy years ago for my furry boys. One of them loves to rip the cardboard thing apart. I used to be able to buy replacement inserts at Petco but they stopped carrying them about a year ago. Any idea on where I can replacement inserts? Oliver and Sebastian would be very grateful to find out. So would I.

[hyphenate]

96. I tried to shave my Garibaldi

but he kept running away. Over a couple of sessions, I finally got most of him. He's 25 lbs., Maine Coon and an indoor cat. He hasn't seemed to notice that he has a lot less hair right now. He didn't hate me for it!

[grannylib]

18. Here are my two girls...Rio and Layla Babycat

Rio is the big grey lazy baby in front; Layla is the wicked little multicolored kitty in back

[huskerlaw]

19. Very cute!

I love sunbathing kitties.

Oddly, neither of mine care to sleep in the sun. :shrug:

[Kerrytravelers]

21. I'm always up for a kitty thread!

Sniffles:







Pitter-pat

[huskerlaw]

28. You've got two

very cute babies!

Does that cake say "Happy Birthday Sniffles"? And if so...did Sniffles get to eat it? ;)

[Kerrytravelers]

32. Yes. We actually get birthday cakes for our furkids. *blushing*

Sniffles is repulsed by people food. So, we get the cake! :bounce:

[huskerlaw]

67. I like it!

I'm all for any reason to eat cake!

Hmm...Riley's birthday is in a few weeks... :bounce:

[MrPrax]

22. Does She Count!!!

Isn't Chausette Cute??!!

Chausette is 16 weeks...
her Mum dropped her off when she was only 2 days old

She is about 2 weeks old here



Here's Chausette with her dog friend Andy

[Bassic]

23. Bwaaaahaha, her name is "Sock"

I'm sorry, I don't know why, but I think it's funny :) :hi:

[MrPrax]

46. Shhh...

Don't tell her... ;-)

She thinks she is quite sophisticated with her fancy French name...

oh la la...

petite bon chat avec blanc chausette

(I think...it's been awhile since elementary school French)

[Bassic]

73. It would be more like

Bonne petite chatte avec des chausettes blanches.

[MrPrax]

76. LOL...

apologies...typical dumb Anglo...just string the French words together in the same order as they would appear in an English sentence...

le dumb

:banghead:

[Bassic]

95. Hehehe, it's all good.

:hi:

[RumpusCat]

27. OMG! Her little reverse-moustache is just too prosh

:loveya:

[huskerlaw]

29. Her little face

is SO CUTE!

She should be in a Got Milk ad. ;)

[MrPrax]

33. Well she thanks you...

She likes you more than my buddy that said it looked like a 'John Bolton' mustache...

She was horrified!!! :grr:

She was abandoned...she is about 17 weeks now. The dripping around her muzzle in her 'baby' picture is because she just had her KMR/goat milk...

So she Got Milk...maybe that is where her mustache came from?...

Chausette says :loveya:

[Sanity Claws]

36. She has a reverse mustache!

[samplegirl]

79. GOT MILK?????????

Way cute.

[LostinVA]

86. What kind of dog is that?!

[Cobalt Violet]

30. Those kits are so cute.

Mine never sleep together anymore.

Here is Freckles.

[huskerlaw]

31. Aww, so cute!

Mine haven't slept together recently either...I'm hoping that's a function of summer and not a stage they've outgrown.

[Roon]

45. Mine are always sleeping together

[huskerlaw]

63. Goodness

that orange cat is HUGH!

They both look huggably soft though. And oh so cuuute.

(sorry, I missed this one earlier)

[Roon]

84. The orange one is half bobcat

They are adorable though! :-)

[Catshrink]

34. See what a naughty cat can do

my thread dropped like an anchor so I'll post this link here. Cat lovers will love it! Can your can flush?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=WofFb_eOxxA

[Kajsa]

68. I love that video!

Ever since I saw it yesterday, I'm driving everyone
crazy with it!

Gizmo is so cute.

btw; So are ALL the kitties posted here!

Simply adorable.

No Cat Left Behind

;-)

[brentspeak]

37. How about this?

[huskerlaw]

40. That's one ugly cat!

Would make a very cute dog though. ;)

[zanne]

50. Aaaaaaw.....I love Bulldogs! nt

[Kajsa]

69. He's a very neat dog.

I love that face.

[ccjlld]

42. Here's my little furry guy Tucker

Yes, he loves tummy rubs!

[huskerlaw]

51. He looks so soft!

Like a furry marshmallow.

I would gladly give him a tummy rub.

:hi:

[ccjlld]

61. His fur is like silk

Which is great since he loves to be rubbed. It's even softer right now because I had to give him a bath the other night. (Not Fun!). I used some old Shampoo and he's so silky now it is a pleasure just to touch him! Even his vet remarks on how nice his coat is.

[nickshepDEM]

70. Awww, did you name him after your favorite TV personality?

Tucker Carlson?

[ccjlld]

85. ?????

Actually, he is so named because when he was a kitten, he would run around until he was "all tuckered out". And, I liked the name for a cat.

[billyskank]

44. Now THAT is a cat picture

:D

[huskerlaw]

52. Isn't it?

Actually, I need to get a recent one of Spencer. He has a weird habit of spreading out on his tummy such that his front paws are straight out in front of him and his back legs are flat out to the side. It's the ultimate relaxed pose.

[deadparrot]

48. Kitties of a different sort...

:loveya:

[huskerlaw]

53. Awwww!

Very cute kitties of a different sort!

:hi:

[GOPisEvil]

54. Is Riley sharing his blanket?

What cute kitties! :7

[huskerlaw]

55. Actually,

neither of them are using the blanket at the moment. I got a new bedspread, and the blankie clashes! Oddly, neither of them seem to care, but if I get the blankie out for playtime, they fight over it. :eyes:

[GOPisEvil]

59. Kids!

;)

[Blue Gardener]

56. Hansel and Gretel in the warm clothes basket

[huskerlaw]

57. Cute!

And I love the names. I'm assuming they're brother & sister?

[Blue Gardener]

62. Yes, they are siblings

That is my favorite picture of them. They love the warm clothes baskets in the winter. I don't mind a little cat hair on the clean clothes. It's worth it to see them so content.

[huskerlaw]

65. Riley used to

climb under the covers of my bed in the winter...that stopped with the move to SoCal. I kinda miss it, actually, and I think he does too. Neither of them seeks out sunlight to sleep in either.

Maybe I should crank up the AC so they can remember what "cold" is like. :P

[Bunny]

58. Kitten behind bars!

This is Nila, my daughter's little Siamese. She is just so cute, I want to squeeze the stuffing out of her!

[huskerlaw]

60. Aww!

She's too cute to be a prison cat! ;)

[nickshepDEM]

64. The baby looks like my girl Abby.

[huskerlaw]

66. Do you have a pic?

Withholding cute kitten pics is a felony in the Lounge.


:hi:

[nickshepDEM]

71. sure leme put them on image shack...

[nickshepDEM]

72. Bob-boo (aka BIG PUN) and Abby...

[huskerlaw]

80. Very cute!

Abby does look quite a bit like Spencer, though I think she's more orange.

Adorable babies, though. :)

[nickshepDEM]

74. What can I say... He likes boobies...

[nickshepDEM]

75. Last one... Me and my homeboy Joey.

[pink-o]

93. Oooh,

It's hard to decide which of you is cuter.:loveya:

[samplegirl]

77. People let me tell you bout my best friend...

He's a warm hearted fluffy joy who'll love me till the end











Yep---he's my one boy cuddly toy, my up my down my pride and
joy......yeah he's my best friend la.....

[huskerlaw]

81. Squee!

He looks very muchly huggable...and so very cute!

[Haole Girl]

83. I love the way the little one looks as if he/she is smiling!

So sweet!

[UrbScotty]

89. Kitty Carlisle

[calico1]

90. Sweet looking boys!

Here is one of my brood Zoey:

[Control-Z]

91. Sebastian

I love him. He is a very cool cat.

[NV Whino]

92. Mother's little Helpers

Millie has recently discovered the on-screen curser. She sits and chatters at it as she would a bird. But right now they are both playing paper weight.

[PretzelzRule]

94. OK!
