Pim Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 Thought I would bring back this thread by showing of my pets there two female cockatiels who fight all the time yet sleep only inches apart they are really special to me and are the best relief after a bad day.
Foxer Posted October 13, 2014 Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) Wiley was an abused kitten we got from the humaim shelter and he remains petrified of humans .. you'll never find him when someone comes to the house! He torments my wife as he HAS to examine anything new that appears on her chairside table. At least th emost he does is just bat it off the table. For whatever reason, he respects my modeling bench in th ebasement. He always comes down with me but just has his own route as I work. I've never cought him on the bench or found anything on the floor .. other than things I dropped there .. ehhe. He's like all 'kids" nowadays .. they all want motorized toys .. !

No chipmunks were hurt in the filming of this post! He kept bringing it under the deck and letting it go ... only to retrieve again. Eventually the chipmunk found a smaller hole that the cats head.

Eventually the chipmunk found a smaller hole that the cats head. My cat used to catch moles in the back yard and carry them into the front flower garden. She then dropped them and watched them dig out of sight. When they were gone, she attacked the hole searching for them. My other cat used to capture Garter snakes and carry them around in his mouth. Never harmed a one. Can't say the same for birds, though... Dale Edited October 14, 2014 by ScaleDale

Dalemaybe it's the females that are the vicious ones. we had a female outdoor cat and we would get the ever popular "thank you" remains from all kinds of rodents. she used to bring chipmunks into the garage and then hunt them down. sometimes leaving the whole thing laying at the door step.

cobraman Posted October 14, 2014 Posted October 14, 2014 Those little guys make pretty good pets. I sold a bunch of them when I worked at Petco. Much better than those mean little hamsters. : )

I don't own a cat but there is a neighborhood cat that sometimes hangs around. I've seen him sunning himself on my front steps, and have found the feathers of a doomed bird there also. This week he perfectly placed the bottom half of a mouse on my top step. I guess the top half was tastier, or he was just full!
1972coronet Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 Mike Foxer , that is one handsome companion !! There's just some-thing about male Red Tabbies . Al Tubbs , Through myt experiences , I've recognised that Calico and Tortiseshell cats (98% of them are female) are the best hunters ! Dan DieselDawg142 , Pigs do make for great pets ! There was a Norweigen family ( I was friends with their children , my peers ) whom had a pig as a pet . Tripped me out the first time I saw it ! It was very friendly ; it liked spending time on the couch with me (and other visitors whom weren't afraid of it ... ha ha ha) . Here's a photo of Skully , a friends' kitten . He's half Scottish Fold , half British Shorthair

I would assume she will start bringing us "gifts" as she gets older.
Tom Geiger Posted October 15, 2014 Posted October 15, 2014 I'm sad to report the passing of my little guy, Ted. Here he is as he appeared on the Model King release of the 1979 Ford pickup kit. Doug Whyte photo shopped him into the model. Ted was 14 and had been slowly declining for some time. He was an amazing little character and knew something like 100 words. I greatly miss him! He knew how to get comfortable! He loved to sleep in the leather chairs in our den. If you were there, he'd snuggle his way in close to you and fall asleep. And my favorite Ted photo. This was the first time he was in the pool, and he loved it. It was my daughter's college graduation party. I had just gotten my new job in PA with a lot of promise, we had our new house and all of our family came to celebrate. We were on top of the world then, one of the best days! I'd love to step into this photo and relive that day! I sure do miss the little guy!
cobraman Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Sorry to hear that Tom. Our pets become so much a part of our lives.

mnwildpunk Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 I am very sorry to hear about Ted. I have his picture and when I go to build that truck I'll think of you guys.
unclescott58 Posted October 17, 2014 Posted October 17, 2014 As noted on another tread here Tom, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. Scott
JTalmage Posted October 18, 2014 Posted October 18, 2014 My little pal is a black and white male short hair cat. Named Stitches since when we got him as a kitten he had a huge gash in his side after he and his brother ran away for 3 months. He's about 4 or 5 now and knows how to be lazy but still has tons of play in him. And he's the best darn hunter there is. He's caught birds, squirrels, chipmunks, snakes, moles, shrews, mice, and if he knew he could take one down he would probably try for a deer! He sleeps on my bed most nights especially in the winter. And is also my alarm clock. It's amazing what a cat standing on your head will do. That or scratching something that makes an annoying noise. He knows what will make noise enough to bother you until you're awake. I'll have to get a picture up here.

Tom Geiger Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 So sorry to hear about your DixieLou. We had a similar experience a few weeks ago when we lost our Ted. We had been out for a Saturday evening and came home to find him in distress on the kitchen floor. He was alive but he didn't recognize us and wasn't able to get to his feet. He was only a little guy, 20 lbs, so I scooped him up and ran him to the emergency 24 hr vet. We got the sad news and he was put to sleep sitting on my lap. Pets are family. Condolences to your family on your loss.
Belugawrx Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 Sorry for your loss Dan Diesel must be hurtin' too Ri and my thoughts go out to you all
aurfalien Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 (edited) Wow, lots of adorable lil chookies here, I love em all. Lots of cats too, so I bring you "Bella Josephine Krusic", aka Foofy Girl, aka Shmoobies, aka Foofy Foofy and is friends to all cats in fact. Chihuahua are one of the few dog breads to get along very well with cats. Named after a mountainous Mexican province/state, they were often used in large packs to hunt Grizzly. They are fearless and a few would die in the pursuit but they got the bear so tired being as nimble and quick as they are, that the hunters had an easy time of dispatching the beast. At any rate, mine only hunts her food bowl and is startled by large leaves. BTW, I feel for those who have lost there little ones. Mine soon approaches her time to go and we don't remember life before her. Edited November 21, 2014 by aurfalien
