Ten Cats by Graham Harrop for December 11, 2014

Chesney! You are one selfish boy!!! Poor Woof… ;)

Chesney, you are looking at coal in your stocking!

Look at that Kitty, Chesney how can you be so thoughtless! (Yeah I know, you’re a cat)

Sorry I didn’t get a chance till now to read the forum from after I posted yesterday (Wednesday, which is still “tonight” to me right now).

So I didn’t know in time to say it then… but here’s a belated “Happy Birthday QueenofAmerica!”

Happy birthday QofA!As promised a picture of the new strays who decided to call my porch home.And here’s Poodle Boo testing out the heating pad and comfy bed.We have new neighbors across the lot and with them comes a handsome Tux Cat named Domino, who is uneutered and spends most of his time outside. So naturally he eats at our place often as we feel sorry for him.I guess we are just destined to have 10 cats.

Bucky has been rumbled – my husband Chris was talking to a neighbor yesterday who told him that some other neighbors a few doors down leave food out for Bucky. No wonder he sometimes turns his nose up at the food we give him. Reminds me of a children’s book I saw called Six Dinner Sid, about a neighborhood cat who had six different homes, and none of them knew about the others!

Good ol’ Chesney…… this is one of the best strips ever……. ;-)

Good morning, everyone.Dry and Queen, belated Happy Birthday!!

Next door neighbour called and woke us up at 5AM to tell us it was snowing. GRRRR.

“and this made the other cats very very sad . . " Except of course, for our Chesney! Snerk!

Thank you LadyKat, and from last night, NyukNyuk and Lady Topaz

Nice to see you again, Susan! Drop by anytime, Girl!.

LadyKat your neighbors must be a “brick short” to wake you up for that! Or else they have it in for you guys! :-D

Santa will not let Woof down. Even if Chesney has eaten all the Christmas cookies and drunk all the milk that Annie left out for him…

And now, for something completely different:

Oh, Chesney, shame on you!.Happy belated birthday to Dry and Queen!

About 25 years ago I woke up to snow in the Santa Monica Mountains of southern California at 3:30 am – I wanted so badly to call all my friends! So hard to resist!

nothing to do with anything

Rikki Tavi, that’s a very cooperative cat! I laughed the whole way through the video. And what a cute nose that cat had!

Oh, what we put our cats through during the holidays!

Happy belated birthday, Queen! Sorry, yesterday’s a bit of a blur after Ballard Street!

Belated happy birthday to Dry and Queen, was a bit busy yesterday.Hope you had a happier birthday than this cat looks it had.

Hope it was more like this!

A year ago today, I took this photo. I had just brought Misty home to her new forever home :-)

Her documents show that she was born in December 2009, so not knowing the actual day I decided that December 11th would be her ‘Official Birthday’, so she’s 5yo today!

She seems to have settled in well…….

Somehow I don’t think Chesney needs catnip for Christmas. He’s wired enough as it is!

@SallyLin

She certainly is, she’s a real sweetie :-)

Now for something really strange.

In the early hours of 23rd November 2013, I lost my Persian Cross Lone Ranger to liver failure. It was very sudden with no warning. I found out that Misty needed a new home on 8th December 2013. As I had just also lost my Grey/White Tabby Thomas (6th December 2013) to cancer, my remaining cat (Chico) was on her own and rather unhappy. So the news that a 4yo timid female needed a new home seemed to be heaven sent.I contacted her owner and got the back story, and arranged to see/collect her on the 11th. I had not seen a photo or had a description of her at this time, the first sight I had of her was when I walked into the house.

Keep this in mind when you look at the following picture I put together. Misty is a Birman/Maine Coon cross, Lone Ranger is a Persian/Moggy cross.

Misty’s pictures are top left/bottom right. Lone Ranger’s are top right/bottom left.

@ more catsShe is just gorgeous!! Lucky girl!! This similarities between the two are impressive!

1. ty, dream, for the birthday comment.2. Rikkitavi- I LOVE that video. I’m going to try to find it on utube and send to my friends3. more cats than sense – what a lucky kitty! I looked at the pics first and thought it was the same cat until I read the posting.4. we are in Vegas. Brad is off doing cowboy stuff. I don’t expect to see him again til late tonight. If anyone is thinking about a stay at the Monte Carlo, I would encourage you to think twice.

@ more cats than senseMisty as gorgeous, and truly heaven sent to you. Misty and Lone Ranger are very similar, eery and comforting at the same time.

When I took my white cat with a black ‘X’ on his forward to the vets when I first got him, I saw his double sitting on the receptionist’s counter. It seems that she was a stray brought in who had had a litter, and Mua was a stray in the area who was about 6 months old. Approximately the time Swizzle,the female arrived at the vets to become their mascot.Pretty sure it was Mua’s mommy.

…“forehead”, not “forward”…

I just love the pictures of cats that you all post! ;)
