To get back to the feline variety...
A formerly feral cat taken in by a friend in Maryland. (The other two or three in his family decided that the cushy life beat living under a barn and eventually decided to move in, too.):

(I should have turned the ISO setting on the camera down; it wasn't THAT dark when I took it and it would have been much less grainy. It's otherwise a decent picture. |O)

Lots of photographers are actually a lot more down to earth than people realise. But they also know that judges are way up there in the clouds and think they know it all. The nice thing about your picture and I don't actually see much in the way of graininess is that the cat's face is in quite sharp focus while the rest of it is not so focused and the background is very out of focus which removes clutter. Selective focusing is a very well used technique in photography to get rid of a cluttered background and add significant to the main subject of the picture. When I was a member of a photography club I used to take in 2 competitions photos of the particular architecture that was in the area where I used to live in Italy. Not being very well known as the particular type of architecture only exists within a 15 mile radius the judges had never seen anything like it. Of all the judges that saw my photos most of them tried to guess at what it was and pretend to know what they were talking about only one said as his very 1st comment "I haven't got a clue what that is and I'd like the author to come and tell me during the break".

Yes, that one was shot with a 50mm f/1.2 that was wide open, so the depth of field is extremely shallow. I find that I'm usually shooting either nearly wide open or stopped down to f/11 or smaller. Most of my gear pics are taken at small apertures to get more in focus - the tripod is a huge help there with the long exposures needed in that case.
Selective focus and the ability to control DOF is definitely one place that the real camera shines over those in iPhones and the like. Don't get me wrong, the phones take incredibly detailed photos, especially given their size, and I use mine frequently, but they're nowhere near replacing real cameras at this point as far as versatility and creativity go. They're extremely convenient as well, which can bite you in the backside. I wish I'd grabbed the SLR more often that the phone last year to get pictures of the kittens as they grew. I'd do occasional bursts of pics with the camera, but most of the day-to-day stuff was with the phone because it was immediately at hand. I could have gotten much better shots with the camera. Oh well - live and learn.

Various Siamese and Burmese we've had over the years love body heat and I've found them particularly adept at maintaining their balance while draped across your shoulders. Then they can get the heat, be close to you, keep an eye on you and best of all you'll then have your hands free. ;D

Seems you need to adjust your display settings. The grain (reddish/greenish) is rather obvious in the picture, as Cubdriver rightfully noted. I don't mind the grain so much, the overexposed light behind the cats head is more of an annoyance, as it disturbs the image and turns the cat into a rabbi with a white hat, sort of... Aside from this, i really love the picture. The mood set by the color/tone, the back light nicely contouring the left ear against the dark backdrop, and the cats inquisitive pose itself. :)
(Then again, i love all the other cat pictures too, because cats... ;) )

I find the lack of foxes in this thread disturbing.
A couple of days ago I saw a fox hunting near the road. I could watch it from about 15 meters away and it wasn't disturbed at all by several people watching.
Enough foxes... time for the cats I co-owned!
When I lived at my parents we also had two male cats. First this one which we got dibs on before he was born. I held this cat in my hand when he was just born and the size of a mouse. Ofcourse a cat doesn't stay that small. This picture is taken when he was around 18 and his bad fur days increased. He was a very smart cat too. He could open doors and get the one-way cat hatch open by using his paw. I think he died 20 or 21 years old.
(https://c7.staticflickr.com/8/7511/27899851230_ea11e48507_c.jpg)
And besides mice our first cat brought in a friend about the same age (he looks too red-ish in this picture, in reality he was more towards pink and I have never seen a similar cat ever since). Or maybe he just invited himself since we couldn't get him out of the garden. Also his fur was dirty and he obviously wasn't feeling right so we took him to the vet for a checkup and some treatment. Since he wasn't going anywhere we decided to keep him. He still managed to get over 18 years old.

Both cats where very sweet and they always slept together.

I'm not sure if this will work or not, but the lanky orange male has taken to climbing the ladder up into the attic. Usually he hears me coming and gets down before I can see him, but I just put the air conditioner in and, masked by its noise, managed to sneak up on him the other day. I haven't gotten him climbing up to get in there, but did get him coming down... He's a piece of work!
Ok, I don't know how to embed the video - it's the last thing in this gallery, on page 4:

OK, a picture of an actual cat. The only cat I've ever owned (I'm more of a "dog person"). She had been abandoned and survived feral for at least a year before we started feeding her and eventually adopted her. She got such a big belly on her skinny frame when we first started feeding her we thought she was pregnant. She wasn't - but the name "Preggers" stuck. Great cat and incredible predator. Until her last few years, she spent most of her time outdoors. Regularly brought home rabbits larger than her..

This picture reminds me of 'my' cats. They always slept together and they used to have a round basket in which they looked yin&yang as well. Funny how some cats like to sleep together even though strange cats usually don't tolerate eachothers presence.

Unfortunately, Model 1 has moved on to the big lab in the sky. :'( He had a good run while here, though, :-+ so no complaints other than they all leave far too soon. Unfortunately his pics are on a computer that's dead at the moment and not easily accessible. He too was a mischievous orange boy kitty, very similar in appearance and temperament to the current model 3.
Here is model 2, on the bench even though she knows she's not supposed to be there:

This is Shadow, a new addition to my cat clan.
Around six months old, a semi-stray, she adopted me recently. Had been living in the rundown sheds at the back of a junkshop up the road, sometimes fed by the old guy who ran that shop. Cats are prescient - the buildings are soon to be demolished, and she seemed to think it was time to get a real home. She has a lovely placid, friendly personality, with bursts of playful demon.

Just Last week, I stole seven 4 week old kittens from their Feral mother under the house. They were eating Solid Foods, so it was okay to send them on their way. I posted on Craigslist, and within 3 hours, all gone, Sold them for $25-45 each. You don't want to just give them away, because believe it or not, they end up just like that cat in the snakes stomach as above. :(
I'm sure the mom was hurtin from the milk. She was howling and looking for her kittens for a few days, seems okay now. But I had to catch them while I had the chance. Last thing we need around here are more Feral Cats.
Here's a couple pics of them (Top 3 pics of kittens, only took a shot of 3 of them) , as well as a pic of my 2 cats. The one with the bad eye (she lost it when a kitten), has 6 claws on each of her front paws. that's why I kept her.
The other one, grey one, is like 20 pounds. She's fat! But love her to death.

Alessa, named after a demon who had a sweet side and an evil side. She definitely does, bipolar schizo, manic depressive and half wild sometimes but she loves me. The name was inspired from when i first caught her (yes caught she was wild) and someone exclaimed "THE DEVIL!" and tried to shoot her. She is the queen.
Garfield, As dumb as a dead rock, his nickname is "The Great Pumpkin" He loves me. Was wild but just randomly abandoned his family and came into the house to live with me. Hasn't left since.
Midge, Very very smart and also very friendly. He is the king.
Moses, Named as a joke, he is dumb but not as pronounced as Garfield, he is friendly.

Tuesday there was a monster storm here, over 10cm of rain in the morning, and massive flooding and damage all over. These were rescued from the church next door, where they were living in the drain, and it flooded out of course. Now dry, well fed and looking for new homes, and quite comfortable with me.
I was out with Clive in his pickup, and we left the dumpsite 9H30, with sun shining. 10 minutes later we were in a downpour that got heavier, then windier, then hail, with visibility down to under 50m. Van went from caked with mud from the tyres to the roof ( dumpsite is kind of wet from previous rail the weekend) to washed, rinsed, power washed and cleaned in the 1 hour it took to get back. Had to change clothes as well, wet through and caked with mud as well. That afternoon I got these kittens delivered to me in a box, sopping wet and cold, so stopped at the vet and got kitten milk for them, and they are surviving fine, though the mother cat is missing.
Locally there were a lot of cars destroyed in flooding, and many places lost the roofs along with the flooding. Quite a few insurance claims going through, and I was lucky, no damage at all from it.

This is Wren. I found him "purrrr-ched" in a silver pine tree in the park. As you can imagine, he stood out like a sore thumb, so I took him in, fed him, cared for him, the whole deal.
Turns out he really had a knack for spotting which parts are genuine and which are chinesium fakes. He slept in TME boxes only if ALL the parts were genuine. :-DD

I wonder whether Micah's code can recognise cats, or just specifically Tuco?
He's quite distinctive; nothing else in the lab is tabby coloured. But would it recognise a ginger cat, or a white one?
My cat Rocky is white with tabby patches. Perhaps he'd be classified as a whole family of cats? And as for his brother Sebastian, I've no idea.

You misunderstood. This thread is about cats. He just told us this is "is _not_a", which is his cat. It's a peculiar name for a cat, but I'm not one to judge.

Meet Garfield, dumb as a sack of rocks and no i am not just saying that. He is half bobcat and not quite done growing, currently he can stretch end to end 4 feet and when walking is at least 2 inches taller than any of my other cats.
His mouth is large enough that he could get it around a baseball, he is currently around 40 pounds and that linoleum tile he is sitting on is a sq foot, which he fills.
Luckily, very luckily, he is very friendly.

The ferals from next door. Sadly none of them survived the cat flu they got. mother though is fine, if I can get her neutered I might keep her, even though she is a little twitchy, but is becoming used to people now. Getting her used to sleeping in a cat carrier to make the trip to the vet easier.

Hers certainly seem to be!! She often lies in a position with a half twist in her back and her hind feet pointed so she could kick herself in the head. She had actually UNtwisted a little before that first picture after she woke up when I turned the light on, while I ducked out to get the phone to take the pictures. (And as an aside, would anyone twenty years ago have thought we'd be saying "I want to take a photo - let me grab my phone"?)

Cats don't have bones in their shoulders (Clavicles) but rubbery bands instead. That is why cats can jump from great heights and still land without injuries.

My cat runs on the "GNU Linux". From your screenshot I guess you're running Mac OS and I think (can't check right now) it uses BSD flavoure coreutils. But yeah, I'm only guessing what you have there :P :D
Actually it's a ssh connection to a FreeBSD server. And FreeBSD uses BSD cat, not GNU ;)
Now, my apologies, I didn't intend to hijack the thread with this silly joke!

I may or may not be enticing my neighbour's cats to come over so I can pet them by conveniently placing food outside for them.

At my last flat, there was access to the roof and my two used to run around up there. One of them would disappear for hours on end, and wasn’t eating, but she wasn’t losing weight either: the only reason she seemed to come home was for a dump in the litter tray and increasingly rare cuddles. Some months later, in passing one of my neighbours mentioned she’d befriended an astonshingly well-groomed “stray” cat, and wondered where it’d come from.
(Ours don’t wear collars but they are microchipped.)

Yey !!!! ....... I want a 'Solder' cat too !!!!! :) :) :)
We just have to teach American cats that it is NOT called "SODDERING" !!!!!!! :)
My cat is not the sharpest tool in the shed, she'd probably inhale all the fumes or try to lick the solder iron. She likes any kind of smoke. Especially cigarettes. lol.

We ALL know there are Dog LOVERS, and those that don't CARE one way or another......
However, there are MANY cat HATERS!!! and that's where take offence......
O.K. .... A Cat won't (generally) chase a stick into the river & bring it back !!, or chase
a ball & bring it back, (generally!!), and I love dogs too & always had one !!!
However, being a lover of animals in 'general', I ALSO love my cats !!!
"YES" they are 'different'.... and for all imaginable reasons...
When they are just born & later, and they curl/cuddle against you, and learn to trust you.
Apart from 'Food', they absolutely love/trust/hug you, and fall asleep with total TRUST.
When you know a Cat long enough, you/they understand each other and are at peace!!!
Sharing your bed/pillow, and purring.... "Damn dog is rolling in the horse-shit again" !!!!!
Love them both, but for different reasons xoxox

The Cat’s Diary
Day 983 of My Captivity
My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects. They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in order to keep up my strength.
The only thing that keeps me going is my dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on the carpet. Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it clearly demonstrates my capabilities. However, they merely made condescending comments about what a “good little hunter” I am. Bastards!
There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However, I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my confinement was due to the power of “allergies.” I must learn what this means, and how to use it to my advantage.
Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try this again tomorrow, but at the top of the stairs.
I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly released, and seems to be more than willing to return. He is obviously retarded. The bird must be an informant. I observe him communicate with the guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now ...

Why is it that among engineers, cats seem to be more popular than dogs?
Because engineers do not usually work an 8 hour day.
You can leave a cat at home for 16 hours and not have to let it outside. You typically can't do that with dogs.
-
And Stroke a Cat is much more relaxing than play with a Dog.
A Cat also know when its time to wake up.
-
Cat yeah, but kitten don't understand that 4am is not good time to play with small things at the table...
-
Oh, but it does...
-
You typically can't do that with dogs.
Well, you can, if they have their own house and a yard to run in, and stuff to play with. And some places (like SparkFun (https://www.sparkfun.com/dog_policy)) nowadays let one bring their dogs to the workplace.

Cats, previously mentioned in the cat/dog person thread
White one is Squeaker, grey/white is Elwood, who once had a brother (not genetic) named Jake who quite a long time ago crossed the bridge.
They are once again snuggling together. I previously posted that Squeaker had passed, well, last night I came home to find Elwood has passed away peacefully in his sleep. Knew something was up, the dogs were arrayed outside the room where his bed is. usually they all hang out together when no one is home.
-
Sorry for your loss, rrinker. :(

RIP Munki. RIP 555!

rrinker, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. They always go far too soon. My deepest condolences.

Thank you. He was technically my GF's cat, but he became my buddy about 10 years ago when she first moved here but still had to go back for weeks at a time to transition her work to the local office, so it was just me and the kitties.
People without pets don't usually get it. They are not mere possessions, they become a part of your family.
-
I have had cats all my life and know the heart ache of losing them, even doing voluntary work for the cats protection (UK cat charity) doesn't making it any easier when you go to the vets you know the outcome before you go through the door from 2-3 week old kittens to big 20+ year old moggies
You have to do right by the cat and not prolong any suffering
You don't own a cat, your its servant
-
rrinker - I'm so very sorry.
I was adopted by 3 cats when I got married 15 years ago. Since then, I've shared my life with and buried eight. Only one passed in his sleep (my avatar). They are the most extraordinary creatures and how fortunate we are that they chose us to be their pets.
-

Quite right. Though not a cat person but a dog person, I love my 2 like they are my children. I lost my first dog as a teenager when my 5 year old Bull Mastiff passed away and I watched her go. I have put down several dogs over the years so the suffering wasn't prolonged and each one was a heartbreak. I, too, am very sorry for your loss. I grieve with you.
-
Condolences, cat or dog, are family; a great loss, they give so much in so little time.

This is Fussel, which means "Fluff" in German. He first showed up a couple of weeks ago and decided, us to be the best can openers in the area and somehow, even managed to become friends with our grumpy old cat that normally scares away every cat. We estimate his age to be ~11-12 month.

Cats are fair game! >:D One of the cats I had around as a teenager also moved in with us on his own prerogative. Cats don't leave their home unless they have a really good reason. Over a decade later we found out he was really scared of young children.

I just hope that all three got good ones, as I wasn't there to meet the adoptive parents in any of their cases.

A new addition to the cat crew here. Mist, a stray female probably about 6 months. Started living in the woodheap outside, very cautious and secretive at first. Then realized the giants are friendly, give food, and have warm laps. She's turning out to be extremely smart, on the cat scale. Talkative, affectionate, rapidly learning not to bite when startled, inquisitive and a barrel of mischief and fun.

;D Cute Cat.

They can be trained to be computer friendly, but I have not found out how. I had one who would specialise in position ing herself between the screen and my face, on the keyboard. Wanting attention and tail up and arse in your face. Her son belonged to an author and would come to stay. He would stretch out across my lap and was quite happy to stay there for hours without causing any trouble.

This was Simon one of the sweetest cats I've ever met. I got him as a birthday present for my 18th birthday in 1999.
He loved to be carried around on my shoulder. He was a good mouse catcher and regularly brought them home - sometimes hanging half a mouse up to dry :P.
I had to have him put down in 2011, he got very sick and constantly had nose bleeds. One of the hardest days :'(.

Then in 2012 this fella, Max, decided to move in with us. He was one of our neighbours cats but didn't like their other cat. So he just moved two doors down the road. One day we had his vaccination certificate in our letterbox. Apparently he came from a bad home originally, so he's not very good with people. That's probably also the reason why he's a loner and not very cuddly. He's become more approachable with age, he now demands his 5 minutes of cuddling every day.
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=486038;image)
Now his previous owner has died and her son asked us if we would also take care of the other cat - we'll have to see how that works out...
-
It seems no matter what that they always leave us far too soon. That's an awful decision to have to make, but some comfort has to come from knowing that it's for the best despite the hurt.
Simon must have been an awesome cat!

He sure was and of all the critters that have come into my life Morris had to be about the most memorable. It was the 1st time i ever shared my home with a pedigree compared the moggy strays that i took in through previous years. As a British Blue he was very aloof and never ever sat on my lap or leapt up onto the kitchen bench. He'd seek attention & verification i was around by appearing at the most inconvenient time, be it at as i did something on the electronics bench or if i was under a car swapping out a transmission & he'd stand in precisely the wrong place!
Here's a YT of him with me speaking in my most ridiculous sounding voice ever (which many of us are guilty of apparently)..

This is the local sort of feral cat, she is again just slightly knocked up. No name, responds to kitty, and sort of allows you to scratch her. Looking to get her fixed up when she drops, last lot of 6 kittens died from cat flu though, they just did not make it when they caught it, and they did not respond to antibiotics when I gave them.
-
Yeah Pete, we've got a Lely setup just down the road from us in Taupaki.
Gotta admit there's an opportunity to put some damn fine electronics smarts into one of those cow-brush things.... Motor torque auto-ranging, auto height, a dye-chem tag to mark the cow so there's a reference to her having had a good scrub and whether it increases her milk yield.... yadda-yadda....
I expect most are simple mechanical no bullshit systems so there's zero maintenance, the most important thing in that environment i guess.

Talking about electronic smarts, if you want a look at this same shed that also has 3 Astronaut robotic milkers let me know as they're good mates of ours. If you know a little about dairy farms think again as this place will open your eyes.

She responded to the insulin very well and now seems completely normal. Have to give two shots a day until we go back for a glucose curve, maybe one a day will do I hope.
Where do these cats on You Tube who help demo how to give insulin shots learn to stand still? :palm:

Can't say for those on YT, but a former classic orange tabby I had named Duck Sauce was just a really great patient. Never gave me any issues with his insulin shots at all, even if I ended up hitting a tender spot (had to give him insulin for years).
Of course he was definitely a people kitty, so that probably had a lot to do with it (he knew he was going to get loved on).

One of my pair was recently diagnosed with diabetes. The same symptoms, although for about a year he’d had trouble digesting, we thought it was diet, we tried everything. Then suddenly he started drinking an awful lot, peeing a lot, lost a lot of weight over a few weeks, and became very lethargic. It’s taken a couple of months to get the doseage right, he’s on 3 units twice a day. He doesn’t have the same jumping strength he had, but other than that he’s the same old moggy. At one point in the early days of diagnosis when he was on one unit, he was so lethargic I thought he was a goner.
Regarding the injections, we put it in the scruff of his neck. First we lightly pinch the scruff, and he immediately becomes compliant, lying down, and in it goes. All done in a couple of seconds. My assumption is that this is a natural reaction, from when they were carried as kittens.

Cat and mouse.
Also, the results today of intervening in a cat fight. One cat (the one in 1st pic) is friendly towards the other. They were sniffing noses, when the other much larger cat suddenly took a swipe. I grabbed the large one, she reacted badly.

;D get some heavy armoured gloves from your next police outfitter. :-+

Ha. I HAVE such gloves, and have used them in hand to hand combat with possums.
But this was unexpected.
Bah. The left hand one is a full depth front fangs bite, and is getting infected. Antibiotics begun. The right hand set are just superficial scratches, only look bad because of the dried blood and iodine.

That's a mere scratch try a full feral Tom in full fight mode after being trapped, full length leather gauntlets did stop that one I'm pleased to say 6 hours later he was awake less 2 of his friends

Oh, that's cruel! Cats need their claws, to defend themselves, climb, scratch itches, and other catty things. I can't imagine taking that away from them. Mine are outdoors mostly (open catdoor policy here) with a big back yard, trees, etc.
The one who drew blood is normally the most gentle and affectionate. But she's jumpy, and also a bit put out because the new young cat is taking some of her cuddles and treats. Plus, the real damage was two bites, not from claws.
Result: a full fang pusy pussy puncture. Groan. Anyway it's almost better now. Thank you antibiotics.
She just panicked when I grabbed her. Won't happen again.

May I offer a bit of advice. Next time, take a deep breath and hiss as loud as you can. Not with your vocal chords, but by expelling air through the gaps in your teeth. I have never known this to fail to break up a cat fight.
In the cat world a hiss is, obviously, a warning. Somewhere in that furry little brain is a circuit hardwired to say the opposition is as big as its hiss, and if you hear a hiss that is too big it is time to skedaddle. It stands to reason that an adult male human can deliver a hiss that says "Tiger! Bloody dirty great tiger!". Cue cats scattering. Just don't be in the way when it happens, those rear claws can do mucho damage as they are used to get purchase in the escape attempt.
They don't seem to take any offence at it. I've delivered some serious hissings and two minutes later had the hissee rubbing around my ankles.

Benny was totally surprised by this mouse - a real WTF moment :wtf: The mouse won and got away unharmed !
-
Aggression of rats or mice towards cats is a sign of T. gondii infection, which gets passed to the cat.
-
Not necessarily - mice also fight off cats when the nest is nearby filled with offspring . And Benny is fine . . .

I wouldn't mind him being up there, except for the fact that he previously knocked a heavy output transformer off the top shelf, managing to dent BOTH end bells (along with breaking the shaft off a rotary switch on something that was on the floor below), so now I need to do body work then strip and powder coat them again. And you may have noticed the white fluff looking material up there. That WAS a roll of paper towels that I put up there thinking it might be safe from claws. Wrong! It fell prey to him, or perhaps his sister Pixel.

That's what I was going to suggest as well. Maybe even make a small wooden shelf high up in a corner, and a board covered with hemp rope (or cross sections of corrugated cardboard) as a cat ladder.
I don't know if it works for cats too, but rubbing one of your own old sweaty-stanky t-shirts or towels on your dog, and putting it inside their new bed, gets the message across immediately and without error.
When I first met my brother's Norwegian forest cat, Elvis, who normally didn't like new people much, giving the slow blink and drawing a large circle in my lap with my finger was enough to get him to sit in my lap for a bit.

Cardboard is certainly favored, but metal seems to be ok too.

Well, they do have a spot on the top of the new bookcase; I've put padded Amazon mailing envelopes up there for them, too.
They use it occasionally, but apparently, like kids, where you're NOT supposed to be is far more appealing than where you're allowed to go.

:-+ I did indeed, thus my tongue-in-cheek response showing how horribly mistreated he is on a daily basis. He is indeed quite the character, and the lot of them provide considerable entertainment (along with occasional frustration). And siblings are even better at wreaking havoc - they seem to have a telepathic bond that enables them to collude more efficiently! Gilmore is one of the three siblings I have; his sisters Beaker and Pixel (L-R) are the two gazing expectantly at the top of the bookcase from the top platform of cat tree in the first bookcase photo in the post above.

Yeah, sure! Samson is a very affectionate but "protocolar" cat. He likes to show that he loves us but he awaits for our permission for almost everything. Monica is the opposite. She's da boss. She treat us most of the time as her staff. And when she sees that she can't get us to do what she wants, she tries to get it herself. So when we see her demonstrating affection like in the pic below, it's worth the photo.

Blueskull - congrats on 'hiring' your new lab assistant (supervisor??) - looks like a fine helper.
But what is this 'posture' thing you speak of? I don't think cats 'do' posture. I swear Pixel has Shore 20A rubber bits where her spine should be. Please note that as I readied the phone to take her picture, she woke up and UNTWISTED a bit. When I first saw her, her hind feet were more in line with her head.

Think about why her camera is aimed at her the way it is. She knows her boobies work like magic. The video you linked showed 90% boobies, 10% cat and 0% pussy (just to be complete).

There's no denying that pretty girls and technology (e.g. video games), combined, tend to make good TV. Adding a cat spices things up a bit more, except when the cat is itself a problem i.e. as sometimes seen on Scanlime.
To try to get back on topic, how about another cat? Sadly, I could not find a The Signal Path video specifically about the cat.

Nowadays, she is happy to observe me from a safe distance.

Hi. Regarding your mention of possible "translation to english" errors...

you probably meant... "spat the cat !"
It's a slang phrase, meaning like "spat the dummy", or "cracked the shits!" haha... :)

Yesterday I've visited the HAM Radio in Friedrichshafen / Germany.
During the lunch break there were some people from Ukraine and they
carried a cat with them in a box. The box is weared in front of a person.
Couldn't resist and asked If I could take a picture of their cat.
Because of my very limited knowledge of the Ukrainian language
I think the cat's name is "Haako".

It was not uncommon, but with time that practice appears mostly gone. Indeed, it's common to see east Asians with cats as pets and some of the most cat loving people around. There's a Chinese school that has a cat and the cat is worshiped by the students and faculty. Times change!

Some minority ethnicities in China eat dogs, such as Korean Chinese.
I ate dogs, but I don't like to eat dogs. It's just a family gathering premium food in my maternal family before my Korean grandpa passed away.
And FFS, we Korean Chinese don't eat pet dogs.
Among family farmers, it's apparently not even common to eat chickens and ducks that are considered pets.

I loved how in Keith Rucker's recent video about a planer restoration,
here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4JJ_stSqz0Y)
you can see both a shop cat and a shop dog (8:50-11:00). The dog is exploring nearby,
with obvious happy tail swish, and the cat is doing that cat thing, where
it does its thing nearby, but not too nearby to make it obvious it enjoys
the presence of the human; except for some close inspection that
is occasionally warranted... :popcorn:

Bathing them is no fun either. I made the mistake a couple of years ago trying to help the stepdaughter bathe one of her cats. Cat was like an 8 legged octopus with claws. After she twisted free, being slippery from the shampoo, she literally climbed up me, across the low ceiling in the kitchen and disappeared. I had bloody claw tracks up my chest.

Ouch! When I was young, we had a spitz mutt (mostly Finnish Spitz), who refused bathing, unless the person went first; wouldn't be fooled, either.
I was amazed to see how calm Maru, the box cat, is when bathed:

I realized the hard way that a pre-bath claw trimming was extremely important back in 2015 after giving Gilmore (aka Lab Cat), the first of my three new kittens, a bath because the lot of them had gazillions of fleas. Kittens REALLY have razor sharp needle-like claws, and he did a fine job of shredding my forearms.

From what I have been told cats can get used to bathing if you start when they are a kitten. Otherwise it will be claw-hell. At some point we had to wash our cats and that wasn't fun (but it was necessary due to fleas).
-
Can confirm some cats get used with bathing. I've witnessed at a beach (at the seaside/2 Mai/Black Sea) a cat that was following its master into the sea, and swim around without even being called to get into the water.
It was the craziest cat I've ever seen, almost like a dog. Still with tons of cat personality, but able to take a few commands from its master. Also, it was a very territorial cat, no one could've come close to the owner's tent without being attacked by that cat, not even dogs.

This looks like a totaly normal sleeping position for a cat. Mine try the same.... lets say "potentially way more comfortable sleep positions than it looks like" on a regular basis. :-D

Is there a reason why you cat-owners don't have a low box/tray on/near your bench, on a nice vantage point, somehow unused for some odd reason, maybe with a nice soft towel on the bottom? Not meant for the cat, obviously; but because a cat-owners workbench just should happen to have one.. ;)
-
Most cats will kindly ignore the boxes you set up for them and will use any other object they see fit, and they can be very smart about detecting the spots that you want them to use or not. ;D
Oh and of course they like heat, so I'm guessing the CRT monitor makes a maybe not that comfy, but warm spot to sleep on (and it gets to annoy the owner a tiny bit, which is always a bonus.)
-
You mean reverse psychology does not work on cats?
I've found that a curious cat who doesn't want to seem too human-friendly, is easy to distract by using a rope/belt/string tied into a small circle, and then placing it in your own lap. Thus far, the ownership of the thus ringed area seems more important than being aloof. Anyone else tried that?

Earlier the week I was out in the rain, cursing builders who destroy intercom wiring, disabling the door. Lightning flash, and the rumble, so look up to see Tequila looking attentively at me from his perch at the window, and then, looking at the next one, Cachaça is there as well, looking as well. I had to go up afterwards to visit them, seeing as they both were giving silent meows to me. Yes they are both named after drinks, the previous cat was Bacardi, who was an identical looker to the one in the advert.

Looks cute but not a big proponent of providing a cute undomesticated animal and turning them into pets. Aggression, instinctive reaction or even a playful 'swat' and that 'cute' cat would loose it's cuteness.

If you would look at the story of the puma in their other videos you'd know it has health issues and can't be returned to the wild or it would perish, so being cared for by that couple is best for it.

I think I saw it mentioned somewhere (yeah, I was up all night watching him too) that due to his condition he's between 1/3 and 1/2 the normal size for the breed, and early on had some joint issues to contend with. He certainly appears to be very gentle and docile, and for sure has found a loving home. There are other videos of him cuddled up to Sasha as he reads (or, more precisely, tries to read - Messi keeps trying to lie across him and head butting him in the face looking for attention). I'd love a chance to interact with him and hear his purr firsthand - he's a beautiful animal! I wouldn't want him climbing onto my bench or equipment shelves, though...

Edit to add - or have him offer comfort while stuck in bed with a bad cold (as I presently am) https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FXP43UHpLk0

There was a Puma living with someone in the US before the times of public internet, but it made an appearance in a very good book on feline behaviour. Can't recall the title, but I will try to get some info.
I recall they had regular cats too and at least one child.
One scene described was where a slightly bored but lazy Puma kept himself occupied by catching the same tiny fly all over and again. It caught it by folding it's paw, then let it fly again.

Takes a lot of work to get 'em back, doesn't it?
I had a full black one I named Matrix. After weeks and weeks I got it to the stage of coming into the house to eat. So long as the door was open. If I tried to shut the door it would bolt. One night, because it was cold, I shut the door by pulling on a bit of string I had set up. The cat went bananas until I let it out. It didn't talk to me for a fortnight.

I can sit next to him now but it took about 2 months. He still hisses at me when I come out because he doesn't know better, but I can walk around behind him and he will keep eating with no worries. We'll see how it goes. He has never lived inside and probably wouldn't want to. Seems OK with his life as it is outside.

I found I have a cat, a little feral that sort of came in the front door and got stuck. No pictures, as it is a little bit camera and human shy, but it does eat nicely, and uses a litter tray, and hides pretty much the rest of the time, but is easy to find, just listen for the hiss. Hoping to win it over to at least tolerate humans.

When you have this new puss under some control and can handle it ask your vet to drop in when passing nearby and have the shots administered at your place. Much less stressful for the puss.

Our prior cat was a abused rescue, became such a loving cat but it took a lot of time (years). Our current cat is a abandoned rescue around 3Yrs (we think). We've had her a year but she's very shy and does like to be by herself most of the time.

I can relate - I have a former feral that I took in when she was about two (vet's estimate). She'd been a city street cat in New Haven, CT, and must have been beaten or something because she was incredibly timid and cringy when she first came. Over four years later (she joined the gang in early November of 2015), she's FINALLY coming out of her shell and becoming more at ease and less jumpy. It's been a long road, but worth the trip.

Picked up a cat at two weeks. Been feeding with syringe. Cat is 4 weeks now and still won't lap milk. Any ideas?
What kind of milk? The usual one for human beings is not the best at all. There is special milk for cats, have you tried this?
I'd also see a doctor perhaps the poor little furball is suffering from something else.

2 weeks is too young for a kitten to leave its mother...
however, you generally find that you will have to bottle feed until about 5~6 weeks. Then try mixing a good quality baby food with the milk mix, something like Baby Cat, at about the 6 weeks mark to transition them. After a while you can drop the milk and just feed the food.
Mum cats are how they usually get interested in food in the first place. Mum's also teach then how to use the tray so that can be a bit challenging without the mum around. Try to use something like paper based litter.
Hope that helps.

Still working with the same stray cat - been around a year now. Comes by about the same time each day for a meal, then takes a nap on the patio. He probably won't want to get much closer to humans but he's a lot better at it now. That's fine we don't mind him hangin' out here in the evenings.

Siamese - at least that's what the vet sez. :) She has diabetes and I have to give one "unit" of insulin twice a day but it's under control and I don't notice any symptoms at all.

Looking at the color I think this is the "Chocolate point" variety.

I always thought Siamese cat is like this: Short hair, big ears and very meowy (hence why some call them siameowsers).

Him and his sister are quite a bit older now and not quite so nimble since both of them were diagnosed with diabetes within a year of each other. Not through diet, just the genetic roll of the dice. Once we'd got them onto the right insulin dosage, they've been almost as good as new but sadly the time spent diagnosing the problem (mostly our fault for assuming it was just a diet related issue) has meant they're rather less sprightly than they once were. He's still a shoulder cat, but he needs help to get up there. Other than that, their behaviours are just the same, they just eat about twice as much... and what goes in inevitably must come out!
Edit: if you wonder how on earth you administer twice daily injections to a cat, it's a lot easier than I ever thought it would be. A light pinch to the scruff of their neck (where they were picked up as kitties) makes them docile long enough in order to administer the dose.

I have to do the same thing to my cat - insulin twice a day.
She isn't fussy about it. Knows what has to be done and stands next to me at the appropriate time!

Ha! That's nothing, two of my past cats have had chronic renal failure which necessitated giving them subcutaneous fluids each day (about 100ml of Ringer's solution). Not only do you have to get a needle into the cat, you have to get it to sit still for the 5-10 minutes that the infusion takes. After that giving a cat a simple subcutaneous injection is a walk in the park, I've had to do that too.

My Siamese cat had to be put down Monday due to a tumor and complications from diabetes. Very much of a bummer for me. I got her from the Humane Society 16 years ago. :'(
Yesterday I got an appointment to go down and look at the cats they had. I really found a prize. His name on the card was Timmy, but I named him Maxim. He's a Russian Blue, a very intelligent and loyal breed ~ 1 year old. He was scared and hiding for about 3 hours but after he came out he really made himself at home. I can't believe someone turned him in, but I guess it ended up alright. 8)
P.S. This morning I couldn't find him anywhere for a while. I found him sleeping behind my oscilloscope! :-DD
-
xrunner, my deepest condolences for the loss of your girl - they always leave us far too soon.
Maxim looks like a very regal and handsome fellow and is no doubt quite happy to have his new home. 2020 was a roller coaster til the end - let's hope his arrival and new life is a sign of better things to come. Please give him a chin scratch as a welcome from my lot.

xrunner,
So sorry to read this :'(
It really sucks to loose those furry friends, last year we lost all 3 of our cats, they were between 14 and 16 years old :'(
We got two 12 week old kittens 2 months ago (brother and sister), and Emma looks a little like Maxim (I have a feeling there is some russian blue in her too ;) )

xrunner - so sorry for your loss but happy for your new friend.
I had a Russian Blue - that's him as my avatar.

@xrunner: Condolences indeed, as we have already shared about the virtues of siamese cats. And the longer it lasts, the harder it becomes.
But a russian blue is also a very appealing sort of cat. Unfortunately I do not know one personally, but what I've heard says that you will have a close companion.

Thanks a lot everyone. :-+
Maxim is really getting getting comfortable now. Looks like he's a real lab cat too! :clap:

I'm looking for a story I heard a long time ago that Ive been hoping I could nail down. I read it in a book, published in the postwar era, that was meant for an audience of Americans coming into contact with Japanese culture and customs for the first time.
Anyway, one of the stories in the little book, which I foolishly lent to a friend and never saw again, was the story of how cats came to Japan. Evidently, they had been prohibited, along with other foreign things, up until then. When they were first allowed, each cat had to have its own human. Obviously, there was more to this than that. But I cant find the story so I could know it well to tell it to others.
I cant find anything on the net to fill in this story, which had the ring of truth to it.
Can anybody give me more information?

Well, depends on the era the story was referring to. If so, it must have been very early, as there are many cat-related stories in Japanese literature from around 850AD onwards, which are generally of a positive nature.

Can you blame him? Look at that giant hand hovering overhead!!! You've gotta laugh at some of those disproportionate photoshop jobs that are put together. I think the cat is thinking "Really? THIS is the hack image montage you're going to use? It's all out of scale and I'm embarrassed to be here!"

Quote from the wiki page you sent:
These so-called odd-eyed cats are white, or mostly white, with one normal eye (copper, orange, yellow, green), and one blue eye. Among dogs, complete heterochromia is seen often in the Siberian Husky and few other breeds, usually Australian Shepherd and Catahoula Leopard Dog and rarely in Shih Tzu.
So indeed it seems those cats are called "odd-eyed".

Poor cat, too. To anyone who hides their poop to avoid tracking by predators, having a nice head scritch interrupted by what to the cat's senses can only be described as a challenge, "I'm so much more powerful than you that I shall now commence pooping all over you to teach you a lesson", must be really scary and alarming. I think the cat handled itself pretty well, considering.

Speaking of fluffy cats... these two are the first time I've had longhair cats. Meet Fluff and Alice. Sisters, rescued when very small and near death from a wild cat colony. They have the most placid, friendly personalities I've ever known in a cat. Even the other cats here like them. Alita (battle angel) adopted them as kittens!

Aptly named, both of them.
Thanks! They're rescues that came from Egypt. Nixie was an un-named kitten, so I bestowed his moniker from the start before he began his journey west. Faraday had been named Mickey by his rescuer (he was dropped off on her doorstep; the theory is that they were using him for breeding and discarded him when they were done. She's known as a cat rescuer so someone left him); Mickey to Michael to Faraday seemed a logical evolution for his name. The rescuers had called the orange Persian Bob, and with his crazy beard-like ruff I made the leap to Pease, naming him after Bob Pease.
Unfortunately Pease couldn't get along with my older cats and to my dismay I had to re-home him. He's now living in upstate NY and being spoiled rotten, so all is well, but I still miss him. He was very friendly and fine with me and his fellow Egyptians, but not so much with the other cats I already had.
Pease:

I don't think they generally would, Ed. Unless they had previously had a real life experience with such a hole!!
As 'Humans', we only perceive such illusions, including shapes/perspective due to real life experiences when little.
Some tiny kittens are 'afraid' standing on high glass, as something seems to be pre-programmed into their brains!
And I've had cats that go berserk watching say birds or other cats on TV, and others that don't acknowledge their existence!! :palm:

I don't think you actually need to fall off a cliff to learn not to fall off a cliff (and, by extension, black holes) - humans (and normally reared kittens) seem to know that visually when they are very young (it's a little more complicated than that) - see the famous Gibson visual cliff experiments in 1960s.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WvtEFJGp-8&t=39s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WvtEFJGp-8&t=39s)
but..it seems that cats CAN be "fooled" by some kinds of visual cues - see "If I fits I sits" where cats would sit or stand in Kanizsa contour illusions https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168159121001258?dgcid=coauthor#bib0010 (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0168159121001258?dgcid=coauthor#bib0010) unless they are just messing with "citizen scientists", which is entirely possible :)
A well-known phenomenon to cat owners is the tendency of their cats to sit in enclosed spaces such as boxes, laundry baskets, and even shape outlines taped on the floor. This investigative study asks whether domestic cats (Felis silvestris catus) are also susceptible to sitting in enclosures that are illusory in nature, utilizing cats’ attraction to box-like spaces to assess their perception of the Kanizsa square visual illusion.

The rotating snake illusion is another that cats seem to perceive like humans.

-
The indoor sinkhole is only a sinkhole when viewed from where the camera is. It wouldn't make any sense viewed from where the cats are, so even if they were susceptible they would have to come round to where the camera is in order to taken in. Since they walk all over it before coming around to where they might see it as a hole, they know it isn't.

"GlennSprigg" 'thinks' I'm some "KIND" of monster because I once, quite politely, asked him to adopt a slightly more readable posting style for everybody's benefit (The whole unedifying saga starts here (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/the-importance-today-of-_times-tables_/msg1484124/#msg1484124) if you really want to know). Since them he has never missed an opportunity to misrepresent what I've said and why I've said it, even going to the extent of claiming that I live to lie in bed at night masturbating to the memory of bullying him. He applies the most negative interpretation to anything I say, and weirdly I think he does actually believe it. He claims to want a quiet life and to only want to talk to the nice people, but then goes and pokes and prods the people that he has labelled as 'nasty' - as he has here. As well as 'irony' he needs to learn what 'projection' is. I don't let it bother me because, well life's too short, but on this occasion a little explanation was warranted.
Now, watch him "go off on one". <- Placed here in the hope that he won't, to prove me wrong.

Ooh look, his tail has gone all fluffy. Ah, how cute. :)
If you are not a fan of cats, that's OK, but why are you here then?? :palm:
We all know that cats don't chase sticks in the river, or run up to us panting & excited...
but they have OTHER properties, that depict peace and comfort, at times we need it!! :-+
Cerebus do like cats, but he has a little tendency to irony (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irony) from time to time. :)
"GlennSprigg" 'thinks' I'm some "KIND" of monster because I once, quite politely, asked him to adopt a slightly more readable posting style for everybody's benefit (The whole unedifying saga starts here (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/the-importance-today-of-_times-tables_/msg1484124/#msg1484124) if you really want to know). Since them he has never missed an opportunity to misrepresent what I've said and why I've said it, even going to the extent of claiming that I live to lie in bed at night masturbating to the memory of bullying him. He applies the most negative interpretation to anything I say, and weirdly I think he does actually believe it. He claims to want a quiet life and to only want to talk to the nice people, but then goes and pokes and prods the people that he has labelled as 'nasty' - as he has here. As well as 'irony' he needs to learn what 'projection' is. I don't let it bother me because, well life's too short, but on this occasion a little explanation was warranted.
Now, watch him "go off on one". <- Placed here in the hope that he won't, to prove me wrong.
If "Life is so short" dear Cerebus, It's strange that you found the time to go back over the years, in order to 'pull-up' your ancient interpretations????
And of course you had to 'try' and finish with the likes of... "watch him "go off . . ." Ermmm... no, but are you saying that YOU can close(?) a discussion, but that
my 'mere-ness' is not allowed to reply?? I'm sorry, but you fail to see the Forrest for the trees... I was just mucking around about 'cats' in general, when someone
pointed out that you like cats... Great!! However, YOU, again, took this to another level, spending an hour or so in 'research', to voice your opinion of me...
Cerebus... Unlike YOUR comments over the years about me, for which I had replied somewhat less eloquently than 'humans' should, MY life is now most certainly
too short, (physically), to care much about what you think, mate. There's a famous quote about... "Never the Twain shall meet!"... and that's OK by me!!! 8)
The people I know & care about, and those that know/knew me, are ALL that is important!! :-+

Yep!! There's something about the 'rustling' sound of a plastic bag, that's more powerful than Catnip!! And they just
HAVE to get in them!! Then it's the big eyes when they spy you... You then regret 'fingering' the bottom of the bag,
and find claws sunk in about .01 Sec later, and a few obscenities that the 'missus' hears, before she laughs!! :-DD
P.S. Do you know that when cats do the "walking in circles" thing, before settling, stems from their built-in programming
to circle, to flatten 'grass' before they settle down !! :phew:
-
P.S. I just found the (one of many) photos of one of our RagDolls that loves sleeping in the hand-basin!!!

My 'Missus' does not have a high opinion of this RagDoll... He NEVER attempts to bury his Poop, as if to say that
he will NOT get his 'Royal-Paws' dirty, so 'YOU' deal with it... and it is ALWAYS messy!!! :palm: :scared:
-
Usually, at about 3-am we sense him walking above our heads in bed, trying to find somewhere to settle...
(Before he at least decides to wash his backside with his tongue!)... Around this time, we sense the permeating molecules
that have all but striped the paint off the walls throughout the house, and there is absolutely NO further sleeping until I stagger
to the other end of the house while holding my breath, and BURY it!!! Then we use one of 3 sprays on the way back to the bedroom.
We LOVE our cats... BUT!...... :box:
-
May be you should look at his diet. I noticed when my cat has stomach problems she does not bury her messy stuff. Otherwise she always does.

Here's the "visiting" cat, I've been working with for ~3 years now. He isn't afraid of me anymore but still doesn't want to be petted or get any closer. My present cat Maxim will go to the screen door and watch him up close - they don't fight.
I just fed him a big can of food now he's taking a nap.

Btx Terminal?
Not BTX, no. There was a version of this device that could do Teletex, a rather short-lived kind of glorified telex with an extended ASCII character set. But that was not its main function.

The keyboard on the top looks to me like an IBM PC Jr. chiclet style keyboard. But the monitor doesn't match what came with the Jr. Plus IBM didn't release that until 1984, after the photo was taken.

No IBM PC.
I don't have a photo of the whole works, but that thing had, to the right of the screen, two 5 1/4" floppy drives of 80 KB each, inside were a TMS9900 16 bit processor, a whopping 128 KB of RAM and interfaces for printer and keyboard. Meet the Bitsy word processor by German company Triumph-Adler. Cost around 15,000 deutschmarks at the time - the equivalent of a decent family car.

He did, to you, of course.
I've seen dogs teach their human the same way. Most common is staring at the bowl, then the human, then the bowl. Which is kinda surprising, because it involves the understanding that the other can understand what you are looking at; a pretty complex concept not at all common among animals. Many cats get it too, in my experience (much better than finger-pointing, which dogs and elephants do instinctively understand); most just don't care much.
-
All this with a look that says: "Why not just take us back to the animal shelter if you don't want to feed us." Our two cats are great masters at this act.

I had a nightmare last night. That's probably what happens when you watch weird stuff on Youtube before going to sleep.
I dreamed to wake up in 3021 when Earth was so polluted that trees were all dead, the atmosphere was only a big-hole, and bees and animals and plants all extinct, while human beings could only survive if transformed in pets for the pleasure of weird A.I. beings who had the technology to synthesize simple organic compounds containing both carboxyl and amino.
Food for humans, that smelt like food for cats.
When I looked around the sterile factory that picked me up, I realized that humans had been completely transformed into stuffed ornaments, hung on the wall as trophies or scanned and exposed on giant LCDs, and the few still alive were like pets in slavery.
- Am I your prisoner? - I asked
- you are our deliver - a thing with a metallic voice replied
And holy-wood when you don't even know *for whom* then it's seriously time to rebel.
So I smashed the camera in front of me with a fist, and a led immediately turned from green to red, and the same metallic voice talked again to give me ultimatum
going up two tones - carbon unit, listen - they said - if you refuse to be a pet, there are only two logical choices for you -
Paused - A) either you load your consciousness into the matrix to become one of us -
Paused - B) or you die as an abandoned pet in the desert. without any medical treatment or food. -
Paused. A led matrix blinked in reverse order - being assimilated like a sub node is an unique privilege due to the fact you are a human being from the past - they pointed out.
At that point, without even thinking about it, I immediately made my choice by offering my figurative finger to the second camera and they kicked me out their cubic-factory.
But they weren't lying, outside there was only sand and nothing else. and I died alone under the radioactive wind trying to reach the corpse of a human settlement, probably a post-atomic remains of a city, after a war in which humans lost. I felt my skin burning and my bones crumbling from the high exposure to radioactive particles.
Then I woke up in my bed, still shocked. And I immediately checked the clock happy to see it was October 2021. I opened the window and, despite it being autumn, I felt really really happy to see trees were still outside, just near my box for bees..
Holly wood, my sweet bees. I like bees!
My cat was sleeping on my bed, but at that point he too woke up and followed me into the kitchen. I drank a glass of water with a spoon of honey, and he asked me for his food.
Without questioning, I offered him a double ration and the cat looked at me as if he wanted to know what made that day so special to receive his favorite croquettes.
I though something like - nothing special, I am just happy to lick some honey from the spoon, god I cannot really imagine a world without bees - and I was about replying something, but he was already gone ...

I don't see how me saying I think the earth is 12,000 yrs old is "forbidden"; what about the person to whom I was replying, quoting 50,000 years for something?
A distraction, as I still don't know how this thread continues, and yet mine was cut short (and yet left alone for a week). To clarify, I do not care THAT much, but I still see the existence of this thread as contradicting the very thing which caused mine to be locked, and also caused a few of my other threads to attract comments of the similar reprimanding ilk, when I first joined.
I am merely asking, not upset or wanting to annoy, but I am going to ask, am I not?

I do not see that, in a forum full of polite and intelligent people, that one must tiptoe around for fear of "upsetting" someone, when it should be obvious I am merely asking, as it seems that something doesn't add up. To clarify - I accept my thread is locked, all fine, no strife, hardly life changing stuff, just asking why the misalignment of rules.
No problem, but I am entitled and perfectly reasonable in my asking why.
Forget I asked, let's move on.

Because we can't go on allowing off-topic posts forever, otherwise the forum will be filled with them.
Just because a few of them exist does not mean it's open season.

What is there not to understand?
Leopold, one of our two (ex-) males, last night dragged a potted plant from the window sill right across my desk onto my office chair, sending my Apple track pad to the floor in the process, before he threw a spray can from the uppermost level of my office shelf. We still haven't found the can, but were able to find the top that he had been kicking around for the rest of the night.
The door-open/closed-want-to-get-out/or-rather-not game becomes twice the fun with two cats alternately wanting (or not) to get in or out.

Anyone for a free cat? She meows LOUD, incessantly, at the kitchen door to be let into the sitting room - ZERO PATIENCE. As she is 17 years old, I only allow her to sit when I am with her - she has this relatively new habit of ####ing halfway up the stairs, if unattended. If you'd like a cat, holler! lol!

My cat Max died this morning at 0500 hours CEST.
He came home yesterday evening, injured. We don't know what happened but I took him straight to the vet.
They examined him and no broken bones or internal bleeding were found.
But he had a low temperature and was dehydrated. So the vet suggested that he needed an infusion and
because of the low body temperature he should be put in a warming cell overnight.
Unfortunately, Max did not make it. :'(
He was a good friend and faithful companion to me for sixteen years and one month.
I am grateful for the time we were allowed to spend together.
This is him, after a few days he found us in September 2005:

That is one of my favourite pictures of him in December 2008:

And that is one of the last pictures of him, dated from March 2021:

I have buried him in a sunny spot in our garden, in a place where he can observe all the things that he loved.
Farewell ol' buddy...

Sorry to hear that, I know it hurts.

Sorry to hear that mate. You'll have to buy a Max Memorial Multimeter in honour of him.

How really sad. Having lost a few over the last 30 years, I know what you're feeling.

Really sorry to learn this. One of our fears is for this to happen :(
-
I am so, so sorry to hear this. My deepest condolences. They always leave us too soon; it's even worse when something happens that cheats them (and you) out of time that should have been. RIP, little guy. :( :(

He certainly left a paw print on your life.

My condolences.

Sorry to hear. :( He sounds like he had a good life.
My cat is 17 and it's crazy when I think of all the life milestones I went through since I had her. Was in high school then. Not looking forward to when her time comes. It will not be easy. It's like losing a family member.

I had a cat who didn't want to use the catflap, he felt threatened with the flap on his head. A rubber band to hold the flap open fixed that. Not a good solution in the winter.
Then I made a motorized flap for him, to look if that would help. Infrared sensors on both sides, AVR processor ,rotary hall encoder chip from AMS and a PID controlled DC motor. Workes like a charm, including for the reluctant cat. Unfortunaly he passed away last year.
I also have trouble with cats who like dining out and I have the best food. So next plan was RFID (chip recognition), timer lock, data logger and a traffic display. This proved difficult, it's radio and its analog. But I was nearing the assembly time. Then my vet implanted my last cat with an 8*1.5 chip instead of 12*2. I couldn't read the chip. The vet is right and I was passed by advancing technology. Not enough range.
Thus time to look at the Sureflap patents. Black analog voodoo with misused MOSFETs. Works. 200 mm range with 12*2 chips, 145 mm for the 8.5 * 1. Measured mid chip-mid coil. Almost time for new China PCB's. Now that's a blessing for humanity!

Nice. Shame your cat didn't get to appreciate it for long, though :(

Yes, good ideas are always too late. He enjoyed it a couple of years. Was a romantic, peaceloving guy. Enjoyed sunsets.

One more picture. In 2018 we had a litter of 2 kittens. The mother asked me to support her with the contractions and giving birth. That in itself was a wonderfull experience. The kittens were wonderfull. We kept the son, the daughter went to a very good home. On the photo the son is almost 9 weeks, he is now a wonderfull long legged cat. After the passing of our red cat we took a red kitten and he was adopted with love by these two.
And yes, she is sterilized now.

They generally seem to grow into their ears, though the size disparity does make them look funny when they're little. Seems the ears are the first thing to grow to full size, followed eventually by the rest of them.

Well of course. It is vital that one can hear a packet of roast chicken, roast beef or ham being opened at least 200 yards away from the packet. [Fx: Sound of stampeding cats]

Do perfectly preserved and intact guts not count as food?
The stuff they part-ingest then throw up on my office floor would seem left over. Or left behind.

The stuff they part-ingest then throw up on my office floor would seem left over. Or left behind.
Dogs do that with poop quite often.
But no, it's not left over/behind. It's just "tasty but indigestible". (Think sugarfree gummi bears or similar for us humans. Taste really nice, but make your insides go brrrröööööt if you eat more than three in one sitting.)
The things cats and dogs find "tasty" never ceases to amaze me, their taste buds are just so wildly different to us humans.
Some things we share – cooking meat, like sizzling bacon in particular –, but others differ so much I have hard time even imagining it.
Cats don't really taste sweet/sugar at all, for example.
It's a funky experience to alter ones taste temporarily with e.g magic berries (synsepalum dulcificum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synsepalum_dulcificum)) that cause us humans to taste everything sour as sweet instead. (It contains a glycoprotein (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miraculin) that temporarily (for up to an hour) binds to our taste buds.)

My cats get roast beef as a treat. But not all roast beef was equal, according to these connaisseurs. Enter the world of water imjection, what section of the cow is called roast beef and on and on. So I centered on a supermarket there that was good enough. But from a supermarket off the same chain was not good enough. Same meat, same central supplier. So I asked the lady from the certified supermarket what could be going on.
They don't clean the slicing machines good enough before slicing other meat, was her opinion.
Animals are just on another level.

That's the difference between being a pet and being a caretaker, I guess.
Although, if you are in a long-term relationship and haven't yet trained eachother to give such treats to each other every day, you need to. I don't care how old you are.

My Siamese cat had to be put down Monday due to a tumor and complications from diabetes. Very much of a bummer for me. I got her from the Humane Society 16 years ago. :'(
Yesterday I got an appointment to go down and look at the cats they had. I really found a prize. His name on the card was Timmy, but I named him Maxim. He's a Russian Blue, a very intelligent and loyal breed ~ 1 year old. He was scared and hiding for about 3 hours but after he came out he really made himself at home. I can't believe someone turned him in, but I guess it ended up alright. 8)
P.S. This morning I couldn't find him anywhere for a while. I found him sleeping behind my oscilloscope! :-DD
I hadn’t looked at this thread in ages, so a very belated condolences for your loss.
My childhood cat was a Russian blue named Max! (And the last cat I had was a Siamese.) May your Maxim create as many great memories as your Siamese did during her time with you.

My late Snowshoe cat (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowshoe_cat).
I had this cat for 12 years when I lived at the beach until he died from old age. I don't know how old he really was because he was an full grown adult when I got him. He had been abandoned and was skin and bones, so I fed him and he decided to stick around.
He was a great cat, intelligent, very talkative, and mostly well behaved. He was not a hunter, he knew food came in a can. He would sometimes make the rounds and visit my neighbors, most of whom knew me as his "owner." He liked to sit by my front door and talk to beach goers as they walked by so they would pet him.
-
My cat Max died this morning at 0500 hours CEST.
He came home yesterday evening, injured. We don't know what happened but I took him straight to the vet.
They examined him and no broken bones or internal bleeding were found.
But he had a low temperature and was dehydrated. So the vet suggested that he needed an infusion and
because of the low body temperature he should be put in a warming cell overnight.
Unfortunately, Max did not make it. :'(
He was a good friend and faithful companion to me for sixteen years and one month.
I am grateful for the time we were allowed to spend together.
This is him, after a few days he found us in September 2005:

Maxim is having a lot of fun and doing great. He likes to play fetch with rabbit fur toy mice. I also feed the birds and other animals like possums and he enjoys sneaking up on them as far as he can at the screen window/door. As a Russian blue he should tolerate very cold temps. However lately he's been making his own "sleeping bag" out of a blanket. Come on boy it's not that cold!

They always leave us far too soon. Mine, Faraday, joined the family a year ago September 30th - he (along with Nixie) were rescues that came over from Egypt. Faraday was dropped off at the rescuer's doorstep, and Nixie was found as a tiny waif in the street. The Siamese influence in him is strong - he's a chatterbox, too, and is inclined to follow me around like a dog - I can picture your companion 'working the crowds' headed for the beach to get attention.

So, I'm having my annual pre-Christmas tidy of the living room and find an empty box for a PCI USB card that for some reason known only to the gods I'd decided to hang on to. By this point I'm in a "Sod it!" mood and just hurl it aside intending to put it in the bin later.
At this point the cat comes in, puts her front two paws in the box and sits down looking self satisfied. SWMBO says to the cat "What's the matter? Bum too big to fit in the box and you can only get your front paws in?". Cat walks off in a huff, I kick the box closer to the bin.
Later the cat comes back:

Nar. This little turd does indeed bite hard. And has done it for years. Every year, yes, I get off-guard and think he's stopped being a jerk. But no.
Maybe wash your hands after eating a burger :-DD :-DD

Just for statistics: how many family members did he bite this time? They tend to be a bit selective.

If he really disliked you he would piss in your shoes >:D .So no worries, he was just overwhelmed by your patting and scratching :D.

Only the people the bothered with the cat. Everyone else talks to the other cat which is pretty chill in comparison.

Now this was a reasonable bite. The vet pulled at his hair and there I was with my cat attached to my finger, a puddle of blood forming on the table. I said to the vet: "He will let loose eventually". The vet and I agreed that my grip could have been tighter. The vet is till this day my latest treating doctor.

A couple weeks back when wandering indoors a 4 footed intruder was spotted and the wife gently summoned to witness the event however as we were babysitting our sons tricolor working dog it too also had to come and see which elevated tensions of what seemed like a friendly puss where she hurdled past me sitting trying to be nonthreatening and scarpered out the door and not a trace was seen again until yesterday when we at the farm workshop 200yds away.
No dog present this time and with a little coaxing and kind words the darling Brownie was quite happy to be picked up and much enjoyed a scratch and fuss made of her.....just don't touch her belly !
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1363637)
Wasn't much worried about us doing some equipment maintenance and came over for the occasional bunt of a leg and several further pettings yet content as she was with her new friends not once did she purr. :o
Just once she acknowledged us with what was to seem like a meow yet no sound was made.
Some 30mins later Larry Minor's (our youngest son) partner turned up with the tricolor dog while I had Brownie in my arms and while not that impressed she wasn't desperately afraid while we had hold of her although some soft growling was emitted. However tricolor smart as she is bailed to a safe distance as she only would like to be friends with Brownie and knows it will require a little patience on her part.
Brownie was left in the shed with a door ajar however this morning she was gone, probably back to her real owners servants in a property nearby.

Beautiful cat, Rob! Hope she continues to visit and lets you get more pics.

Thanks Pat and I thought so too and after growing up with a chatty Tonkinese decades ago I was very surprised as Brownie was mostly mute, well at least to us in the hour or so we had with her. Had she been chatty and purred she might have been held captive at our house >:D but really no as we well know how attached someone may have been to her.
For you the other pic taken before I text the wife to come down and meet Brownie in case she fled before the wife got another look at the intruder of a couple weeks previous. For a while there were 4 of us making a fuss of her and she didn't seem worried at all....I like that in a cat.

They like that in the slave race. She was probably saying "Ah ha!. The plan is working, soon they will be in my power" (Whiskers flat against the face, both ears forward, left one slightly tilted back, nose raised, tail vertical, tip curled downward. I understand cat fluently but can't speak it - no whiskers, ears too immobile and no tail.).

I don’t think they put much conscious thought into that - knocking stuff down is just something that happens naturally as they climb about, and the lot of them certainly do plenty of climbing about!! It’s not intentional, it just is. :-// :-DD

I disagree. The look, the paw that's ready. It's the "or else". The timing. They try in their own way to make something clear.
And as experience taught me, they are mostly right. I would add that a cat is normally in stealth mode, falling things only attracts attention. Ah. typing this I see that I have come full circle. So cats are easier to understand than analog electronics.

Yep but madam likes it cut from the bone and diced. ::)

Whatever I can slice off and dice up....with no bones added. Processing time is a fav as warm livers and hearts abound and maybe a kidney should one be removed with the byproducts otherwise she gets them at a later meal with the cuts.
Past cats were just thrown a whole joint with bones included and dealt with then no sweat but not madam.....it must be properly prepared !
This old madam is now a bit past catching her own but she has up to 2/3rds grown and the little ones she used to deal to herself but in later years the larger captures are always presented to the man servant to be unwrapped and processed.
Little ones she would bring inside and announce her victim captures with a muffled cry and the her early days consisted of training that there were only specific areas in the house where she could consume her kills and feel safe from the working dogs .

This is Bob. He is a tomcat and was Max's sparring partner. He comes here every day in the morning and evening to eat and to be cuddled. He is a big cat, weighing at least 8kg and at least 50cm long from head to base of tail. But he is not fat. When you cuddle him you can feel what a muscle he is. He is a gentle giant and his special trick is to drop to the floor in front of you, roll to the side and ask you (me) to cuddle him. He is also very shy and only lets me touch him. He shies away from other people.
Unfortunately, the photos are a bit blurred. That's because he doesn't hold still and certainly doesn't pose. We don't know how old he is, but we know who he belongs to. He is fully vaccinated, but neither chipped nor tattooed. And he is a real eating machine!

Hello, Bob.

We have two gingers who come and sort of half visit. Both are nervy enough that they won't let you get close, yet both do things to deliberately draw our attention to them. One sits in front of our front door and calls for someone to open it - then runs away when you do. The other climbs up and sits outside the living room window and calls vocally for attention. Not knowing who they own, if they do own slaves, we've had to invent our own names for them; so one is "Ginge" and one is "Mr. Baker".

No luck there. There's Bobby, he's the son of our Maija (who you have seen many times), Mr. Grey, who as his name implies is wearing elegant morning dress, Tom who is a classic Mohammedan tabby who is another living room window visitor, and the otherwise unnamed "little black and white cat" and the "big black and white cat". Of these only Tom has evidenced any musical talent, and he's more "Death Metal Anthem III" than "Sunshine of Your Love".

Brownie the house imposter of a few weeks back and also new friend made when she visited us at the shed came to visit again today and recognized my voice almost immediately. Fuss of her was rewarded with a bunt or three and even got a wee squeak from her saying hello. :)
Followed me like a dog straight inside although wary and eyes scanning all over as the last time she was inside so was the tricolor dog.
Still she knew exactly where Madam's snack bar was and promptly helped herself to a few cat nuts before sweeping her up for a few more pats and removing her outside and closing the door.
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1378093)
Then I wondered if Brownie and Madam had met so trudged off around the garden to where I found Madam sound asleep in a flower bed. ::)
With a little coaxing she ventured out to see what her man servant wanted then spied Brownie and Madam set off after her in hot pursuit !
Never knew a 17yr old cat could run so fast :o but Brownie was faster and knew exactly where the only open lawn exit was and when I finally caught up with Madam on the road frontage Brownie was nowhere to be seen.
Madam was purring like mad as if to say, hey dad I sure sent that one packing ! :-DD

Despite being pursued off the property yesterday Brownie was back again this morning just outside the lawn area but a little nervous after Madam had sent her off.
So I swept her up for more cuddles to calm her and after spotting Madam was camped on the far side of our lawn took her inside to again meet the mistress of the house, the wife, then took her outside again as I wanted to mow the lawn but inside she marched again to snack at Madam's snack bar. Madam was still outside sound asleep so Brownie had a self tour of the house and when quite satisfied with her venturing's decided it was time to leave before she was forcefully evicted like yesterday.
Brownie trotted off at a leisurely pace to the road frontage where I stopped to see which way she'd go ....which ended as no surprise as we'd suspected she belonged to some new people in the road just a couple hundred meters away.
A buddy stopped and chatted while I watching Brownie head for home and drove off seconds before a chap we'd not seen before came walking past with his poodle on a lead.
After greetings and introductions from this new neighbor but one this was indeed Brownies owner and Brownie was really Coco ! :-DD
An hour later after coffee and a chat and a good ol catchup (He'd grown up across the valley and we knew his parents) we went our own ways vowing to have more to do with one another. :phew:

Not a picture of a cat.
Got a call earlier this morning that one of our 16 year old cats has died. My mum found him lieing at the bus stop in our street. He was quite old and sick, so I had made the decision to have him put down this week anyway. He was out tonight and didn't make it home. I'm sad now :'(. He was a kind kitty, so he took that decision away from me.
Now I'm sitting at my desk trying to work but the eyes get watery again and again. Somehow the childish thought that he's in a better place now, an endless garden of eternal summer gives me solace. He loved the outdoors, was always running about or lieing in the sun.
R.I.P. Maxi.

Hi,
Cubdriver told me to post pics of that errand cat I let enter my home this winter, out of pity. So here it is.
It's a she as far as I can tell. She does nothing but sleep all day long, with brief interrupts to go eat some treats in the kitchen. That's about how interesting her life goes.
Not very exciting, does nothing interesting like the cats on youtube videos do. No. It just... sleeps all the time, no kidding. Just... sleeps ! :scared:
Very depressing indeed.... :-\

She's a very handsome cat. And since the fur has three colours, it is very likely, that she is a female cat.
Regarding the sleeping: It is not unusual for cats to sleep up to 20 hours a day, especially in winter time.
It is a kind of energy saving mode.
Besides that, she has chosen you, so maybe she saw something in you which you aren't aware of. :)
I thought all the time of my cat Max, that he is a kind of a lucky charm and a guard of my dreams when I'm asleep. :D
Silly me. ;)
If you can't do anything with it, then look at her this way:
Every good electronics lab needs a lab cat and here she is. ;)
Btw, what's her name?

Ah OK.... makes sense then, I guess. At night before going to sleep I get her to leave outside for the night. I don' teven have to kick her out.. I just open the back door that gets to my back yard, and after a few seconds she gets out on her own. I guess after a full day sleeping, she needs some exercise and fresh air, just like a human being does.
It's not too cold here, between zero and 7 degrees at night. She has lots of fat and a thick layer of fur, so single digit figures is a mere chill at best for her...
Besides that, she has chosen you, so maybe she saw something in you which you aren't aware of. :)
That's very romantic ! ;D ... the truth is just she keeps coming back because I keep giving her A TON of treats, for free, every day.... >:D
The reason I started feeding her is because last summer, with my windows opened in the evening and night, she would constantly invite herself inside my house, always trying to see if she could steal some food from the kitchen counter, and would not stop licking the floor, every time she saw a fluff, hoping it would be comestible.... so I had an idea : put some treats OUTSIDE, on the window border, so that she would not come inside anymore ! It did work.... for a short while. But then she started to get used to it and come inside anyway, hoping for more, for dessert I guess ! :-//
If you can't do anything with it, then look at her this way: Every good electronics lab needs a lab cat and here she is. ;)
If only she could AT LEAST be a cat lab, yeah why not ! But n,ot gonna happen ! Bench is 3 meters away from the bed... I will be dead before she finds the motivation to leave the bed and travel taht "far" to get to the lab bench ! :-DD :palm:
Btw, what's her name?
I don't intend to "keep" her so no name... and it's been too recent an affair for me to looking that.... been only 3 months or so.
For now I just speak cat language with her, works OK. I just meow (she does not meow, or only a single meow once a week maybe...) like I were a cat. For some reason it works decently well. She doesn't look like she understands what I am saying, but it does look like it works well enough that she is at least paying attention and is trying to understand, albeit unsuccessfully.
I know how SHE calls me, though : "hey you, shut up, give me tons of treats quick, and get out of my way ! ".
Something like that...

German electronics magazine Funkschau published an article about the cat battery, many years ago. Given that cats usually develop a strong repellant force when they're brought near each other, the author concluded that there has to be electricity involved. So, if you attach them to each other you get a battery. The rest should be obvious from the illustrations...

How about this sleeping cat.

"Human, open the door!"
In the summer, he's half that size. This winter he's been a lot more inside, and consequently, doesn't wear as thick a coat. Best hunter we've had. Field voles practically every day in the summer. His grandma supposedly was a Norwegian forest cat, so that's where his instincts are coming from, I think.

German electronics magazine Funkschau published an article about the cat battery, many years ago. Given that cats usually develop a strong repellant force when they're brought near each other, the author concluded that there has to be electricity involved
No need for 2 cats, strap a slice of buttered toast on the back of a cat ,and drop the cat ,as a cat always lands feet first and toast lands buttered side down the opposing forces will cause the cat-toast combination to spin above ground

If you rub the plastic rod with a cat to get a negatively charged rod, and a lucite rod with silk to get a negatively charged rod, what happens when you rub a cat with silk?
This?

And if the cat's pyjamas are the best thing ever, does that mean they are silk (like all the best pyjamas)?

... Real cats go outside no matter what...
We have two cats.
One will go outside quite happily no matter how heavy the rain is falling.
One will not even venture outside if he is going to get his pretty little paws damp from the morning dew on the grass.
Every cat is different...

We got a winter storm in Texas so I made the stray a house from a cardboard box. I did the best I could for now. Draped with a heavy canvas, the bottom inside has a 1" pink foam board insulation on the floor, 2 large sheets folded, a large microfiber towel, and a fur something-or-other that a Boonton power meter was packed in from an Ebay seller. He has been using it for the last few days. Supposed to get into the teens (deg F) at night for a few days.

How awfully nice of you. :-)

I did that for one stray black cat one very cold winter in Michigan. I was eventually able to grab her, get her to the vet and turn her into an indoor cat. She had been declawed and thrown outdoors and was very skinny when I got her. Once she settled down she almost never left the bedroom and had absolutely zero interest in the outside :-DD

Wow - DECLAWED and thrown out to fend for herself?!? :rant: :rant: :rant: There's gotta be a special place in hell for someone who'd do that. (I also think there should be one for those who effectively cut a cat's fingertips off, too, but to do that then turn it loose - that's ten times worse.) Good on you for taking her in.
-Pat

Yes I agree, though my thing for the owners would be to neuter them as well, before doing the drop off in a strange place to fend for themselves. My place to drop off would be a nice clearing in the Taiga, middle of summer, where you can travel by plane for 3 hours in any direction before you find anything approaching a hut. Would not be totally heartless, I would allow them the luxury of having a t shirt and pants on, plus a pair of flip flops, and a blunt kitchen knife.
But then my cat likes going outside at times, though he is an indoor cat, and has a great aversion to people, seeing as I got him as a doorstop stray.

Don't you mean doorstep stray? Or did he wedge himself as a doorstop between the door and the frame until you had to give up and let him in? :)
-
Wedged himself in the gap between the door frame and the post boxes, which meant a little work to find a way to grab the hissing tiny ball of fur and claw, and pull him out. Then, seeing as it was New years eve, I was loath to take him to the shelter, so kept him for the night in the bathroom, and went to go get some cat food and such for him. Then he kind of never left.

Yeah, Madam Maija came in on a Christmas eve with a swollen infected wound on her head and was supposed to be here long enough to get well and then I was going to rehome her. You can judge how well that plan went by the fact that was seven years ago.

What is that pose?
If I were to guess, I'd say that cat is familiar with dogs, and is playing/inviting play, about to steal something or do a friendly play-attack. (No raised hair, no fluffy tail, ears twisted backwards and a classic puppy 'let's play' pose every dog recognizes.)

We have no dogs, although when we picked him up as a kitten, we had to remove him from the head of a dog. Looking at the series of photo's he was trying to start up a 5 month kitten: racing in the snow is fun. I see the pose more in the mini culture here, they teach each other a lot, like somewhere around 1997 they stopped scratching humans and pass it on. Attached photo is a few seconds later.

I think you're being caught out by that being a still picture of a cat in motion. To me it looks like they are going the 'set' of 'ready, set, go!'. I've often seen a cat start an explosive sprint from a standstill by crouching like that. Creep up your cat and say "Boo!" while watching the front end and you'll see what I mean.
Oh, and in my experience cats are always "about to steal something". Remember the old cat aphorism: "Stolen food tastes better."
-
Creep up your cat and say "Boo!"
Impossible. But I have managed to hide behind a door as the cat meandered into the room and then said "Boo!" just as he rounded the door. Gosh, I never knew they could jump that high from a standing start.

The next photo showed he had found a very interesting little piece off a branch. It's already under his right paw in the first photo. If he had sprinted he would have gone head on on the flower pot. A sprint starts with the head in the periscope position, flat on the ground and the buttwiggle. Photo: the red on the right starting a fun attack on the black on the left.

I'm sorry to hear that - they always leave us way too soon. Your buddy and mine were definitely doppelgangers. He's the second orange tabby I've catered to; his predecessor Loopy passed in 2007. They were/are both characters, with oversized personalities. Loopy's thing was hopping up and perching on the back of the kitchen chairs then doing a tightrope act there:

I'm sure it is, and that's how it should be. But does the cat think that? Probably not, I reckon that "criticising humans" is cats' 3rd favourite pastime. When Madam is not either asleep or eating she sits staring at me, judging.

It's not staring and certainly not judging, it's observing. People are busy, they try to understand why you don't choose for pure existentialism. Just take the time and ask her: "Show me the way". She will lead you then to a full bowl of food, which in her opinion is empty. Don't contradict and fill it symbolicly and all will be fine.

Well of course. One look tells you it's photoshopped. I'd be a little surprised if anyone was taken in by it as being 'real'.
Even if instinct doesn't tell you there's something very wrong with the look (or a quick analysis of the shadows), the absence of the cat in the real life location would be obvious to anybody who'd seen that 'temple' (as I believe it is called) and lake before as the location is quite distinctive. I forget which English 'great country estate' it's on, but it's one of the better known ones. I believe it was one of the locations featured in the TV series 'Landscape Artist of the Year'.

Tree squirrels can be utter assholes. They seem to enjoy taunting their predators given half a chance. They definitely seem to understand that closed windows are a barrier they are safe behind. The way they chuck pinecones etc. at your head is a deliberate act, not an accident. Then again, they can be rather endearing and funny, too.

I find these fascinating. Anything that makes communication clearer/simpler/more effective, is good in my book.

Post a picture of a cat.......sorry but not the one of her you would want to see today.
Taniwha is no more, 17.5 yrs was the best she could do after quite quickly fading away over the last few weeks and to not eating at all over the last few days was laid to rest today.
Her first appearance here was in post #20:

In my earlier post, I forgot to mention her madjesty Billi is 13 years old, and has only had buttons to "speak" for a couple of years. In the most recent video, I do believe she's expressing both frustration at having to wait and a desire to go walkies outside, separated by "before". I find it extremely interesting, especially because I cannot read Billi's facial expressions at all.
video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_aTKZRKA8o)
Also, "mad" (modeled as angry, unhappy, disappointed, etc.) being her favourite "word" is interesting, because it is not a demand or wish (like say "food" is), and only expresses her feelings/state and requires no action from the human. Think about it for a second: why would a cat want its human to know it is mad/angry/unhappy/disappointed?
The doggo channel What About Bunny has two smart sheepadoodle puppies, with Bunny using multiple buttons in close succession to express herself. I do believe it is easier for dogs to learn to use such buttons, as they are much more pack-social-oriented. I was giggling with glee at looking how Bunny interacted with "new" humans (parents of her human) with the buttons..
-
Think about it for a second: why would a cat want its human to know it is mad/angry/unhappy/disappointed?
Because it likes the sound? I've learned not to say "fish" when the cat cuddles up because she thinks I am hissing at her.

(That's why I don't do pspsps. The one time I did a pfft through my front teeth at a friends place by accident while stroking the cat, the poor cat panicked.)
It would be likely, except that those "mad" choices seem to be quite appropriate contextually. For example, Billi really doesn't like noise from TV (or video chats):
video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0kE5giCJWQ)
In another video, her human apparently misunderstood her (she detected her own back hair scent in the squeegee, and is wondering what and why her human is squeeging the carpet), which lead to, "mad".
video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8RidkqVya0)
Didn't last long, though.

Saw these video's. A little bit too gymnastic, synthetic, restricted. Cats are easy to communicate with.
My top was when my cat came to get me with:
"I am about to give birth, I need help, support, follow me". I had no experience, but it was an easy job, together. An unforgettable moment.
-

I'm getting the impression that that cat has some other issues. See how it keeps wagging its tail. It looks very unnatural to me; as if the cat is experiencing discomfort / stress.

I have learned not to say "fish" when our cat Gadget is around. He heads straight for his food bowl and doesn't stop whining until you put some of his food in it.

All these cat/dog presses buttons, or apes signing, or parrots conversing videos need to be taken with a huge amount of skepticism, namely because the footage which is included is obviously a very small part of footage that is collected, that's how editing works, none of these videos are going to be including a lot of nonsense presses, and the people presenting this work are vested and biased, conciously or subconciously, to want this to work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02n6fWBFaTU (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02n6fWBFaTU)
Skip to 29 minutes or so for conclusion and discussion, hint: the video title isn't really the truth.
It's nice to think that you can setup some buttons and teach your pet to communicate with you, but it's very easy to fool yourself into thinking they are when in fact, they are just being conditioned "hit a button and something happens".
-
videos need to be taken with a huge amount of skepticism
Sure, it's just video clips showing things the human authors want to show to others.
However, that entire argument (that animals do not have 'language', and simply associate the button or gesture with an action), is complete and utter bullshit. Using the same logic and reasoning, I can 'prove' that I am the only sentient being in the universe, and everybody else is just an automaton reacting to my behaviour. You could make the exact same video you linked to about Stephen Hawking, and claim that he was in a passive vegetative state, with his personal assistants actually controlling the speech synthesizer and his correspondence with others.
(To be honest, I do believe that majority of humans are amazingly stupid, and often wonder how individuals have managed to grow into adulthood with so little intelligence, seemingly completely unable to hold a rational thought or apply any kind of logic.)
I have interacted with animals, including wild animals, in ways that have proven to me that two-way communication does occur. I don't care about the silly argument about whether that communication is language or not, because it is irrelevant: it is like arguing whether apples are red or green, or whether strawberries are vegetables or fruit. I'm not interested in any philosophical discussion wrt. communication or language, because the two-way communication I've observed and participated in, is practical and functional.
What fascinates me about Billi the cat, is that I cannot read her expressions at all. To me, she looks blank: I get nothing at all. (Don't read much into the tail movement, as it does vary from cat to cat, and does not always indicate anything. The original box cat Maru (mugumogu on youtube) is an excellent example.)
Thus, any kind of communication that occurs –– even if it is just a few minutes a week, among "noise"! –– is extremely interesting to me.
If it bothers you, consider it self-introspection on my part. Perhaps I am only interested in these videos, because they tell me more about myself.
-
(To be honest, I do believe that majority of humans are amazingly stupid, and often wonder how individuals have managed to grow into adulthood with so little intelligence, seemingly completely unable to hold a rational thought or apply any kind of logic.)
I would like to change this into: "All people are stupid in different ways, myself included". From there we can go to the increase in stupidity through electronic media in general.
So, if I see Billy and its like circus acts, I think: Can we please spare the animals this? Just respect them as they are and meet them halfway the bridge to understand each other. They try. we try, it's life, but please without batteries.

Those videos of Billi (?) "speaking" by tapping buttons are idiotic.
Looking at one of them through my lens of having lived with cats for half my life tells me this:
The cat is saying (quite forcibly at times with his tail): For god's sake woman, just give me the goddam food.
Seriously, he does not seem to be enjoying any of it. Again, based on the dozen or so cats I've lived with.

However, that entire argument ...
Language is more than isolated tokens (words, buttons, signs), language is composing and articulating arbitrary thoughts from multiple tokens in ways which have not been pre-trained, that is to say, it requires forming new sentances to impart ideas.
Average people do this with speach, Steven Hawking did this by assembling sentances on a computer screen, sign language speakers do this with physical expressions, authors do this with writing, but no species other than humans has been so far convincingly shown to do this to an unbiased observer who is presented a complete an uncurated account of all interactions.

Speaking of which, mine has no any interest in TV images...Also, i noticed she does not react in any way to cat sounds/calls/screams coming out from TV - i wonder if some part of "cat messaging" sound spectrum is getting cut off or distorted because of compression, etc. Any guesses?

Your cat is further in development, he doesn't take the TV serious. My cats know for sure there is trouble outside, so they hide or go looking through the windows. I always mute catfights.

Other animals that groom themselves by licking make do without the sandpaper tongue. Most biologists explanation for the cat's tongue is that it is adapted for rasping meat from bones. Anyone who has been licked repeatedly in the same place by a cat can attest that this seems like a highly plausible explanation. It's just a happy accident that it makes a good comb too.
So next time that you think your cat is being cute trying to groom you, consider instead that it is just taking a quick meat sample so see if you're ready to eat! >:D

Just over a week ago my wife and I lost our boy, HunkyBill. He was just over 12 and we had him for 7 amazing years. Only someone who has had that extra special connection with pet a can understand the heart break we feel.
I have a very nicely equipped home lab, I'd have traded it all in a heart beat for a couple more years with him.
Exhaustive efforts were made to save him in multiple countries by some amazing doctors with the help of incredible friends who understood what he meant to me. So while I've lost my boy I take comfort in having seen what lengths caring people will go to to help.
Please everyone give their special furball an extra snuggle for me. My lab will never be the same.

The person we got this cat from was unsure about the sex, so being a calico and knowing how rare males were, we assumed female and my girlfriend let me name her Sasha over the phone before we got her.

Against everyone's recommendations and a screaming girlfriend, I couldn't bring myself to declaw him. I told her (and everyone else) that if they wanted to cut off his toes at the last knuckle, they would be going through me first (and I was dead serious). After providing him with a tree and several things to scratch, they ate crow and still wonder why he likes me most. That ironwood tree was recently replaced by one of those 3-tier carpeted ones, which he now likes, but it was obvious his heart was broken when he saw me remove the ironwood. I kept it, and although he has countless living trees outside to climb, I plan to attach that one to the deck rail facing the lake where he jumps off just to let him know I noticed.
-
Good on you for not declawing him - that's a barbaric thing to do to a cat, and as far as I'm concerned it should be outlawed.
I currently have seven of them here with me, and have five full size cat trees here in the house. They are quite fond of them.
The first cat tree, now about seven years old and beginning to look a bit tattered:

On climbing: the cat on ground level did the neighbourhood on all levels, roofs, fences and so on. A real professional. Passed away 2 years ago. A wise, non violent friend. Anyway, he demanded that new cats that came in the house demonstrated their ability to climb, otherwise they were not a full member of the team. So this happened. He hunted the new cat into the tree, controlling and cheering him on. You can see his satisfaction. The nice thing is that they all pass it on, like climb, don't jump on the kitchen counter, don't hurt anyone.
Education wise, I am jobless.

Well been raining for the last 2 weeks here in Shenzhen, and today I rescue this little one:
(https://i.imgur.com/imPHJwl.jpg)
She was at the rain, with some mean kids basically treating her bad as throwing water to her (sometimes I would love to be able to do the same in return or give some slaps...). I hate violence to animals, whatever the reason is. It makes my blood boil.
There is a family here with 3 boys and the 3 boys don't have any education, the mother doesn't care about them (always at the phone, leave the kids outside to play while she is at home, even when raining, etc) and the grandmother who takes care of then in the morning looks like a zombie (never saw that woman talk or have any interaction with anyone here).
I don't know if she is going to be a new member of the family (even if I love animals and always had dogs and cats before I could remember, I don't know the tomorrow if I need to return so I try to keep myself disconnected) or if my Welsh neighbour want it (he saw and it is interested, just going to ask her girlfriend if she wants).
But for now she is here. Let's see if she can survive the first night (she was very weak and hungry). She also don't have a name yet because of such reasons, but specifically if I give her a name I don't know if I can give it away anymore. So for now she is "The little one..."
-
Good thoughts inbound for the little one. Thank you for taking her in and giving her comfort!
Shame you can't turn the hose on those kids and give them some payback. :rant:

Make sure, that the place is warm and cozy. If you have an electric blanket, put her on the blanket. Cats need more warmth than humans, especially in such bad conditions.
Keep my fingers crossed for this little furball.

Good point, especially seeing that she was out in the rain and having water thrown at her. (Who am I kidding - I'd have her sleeping in my lap, and also have already mentally incremented the number of cats here by one!)

Ohh yes I will. She just wake up to poo on the carpet, even having put something for her to do there, but it's OK, the carpet needed to be clean anyway.
She's active (she runs easily) and playful, so I think she is going well, probably not needed to be too worried.

We have a similar expression in Portugal that roughly translates as: "The owner choose a dog, but the cat choose an owner".

She survived the night. Food for today: Oat with a little rice and meat. All cooked.
Her stomach is bad from what she ate before arriving here. The oat will be a good thing for digestion and excretion, since white rice lacks most of the fibers from the brown one. The meat well, cats are meat eaters, so that you can't take out from their diet.
See how the feces will turn from now on. Currently are liquid, brownish yellow with a intense smell and lots of gas, so she had basically rice without anything more (rice causes a lot of gas and it's not good as main food only by itself).
-
Better already! :) It looks like her tail is rather short though. Maybe try to brush her fur a little bit to make it less plucky.
When I was still living with my parents we also took a young, stray cat in. We took him to the vet for a checkup where it turned out he didn't had the best diet. His fur also had some dirty spots but he turned out nice after a couple of weeks and stayed until old age.

I suspect that the tail or it's a genetic deformity or it was severed when she was younger, although I tend to the first one because the bones make kinda a knot in the end of the tail.
Cleaning I've been doing with wet tissues since she still to young to go to a bath with shampoo, although tomorrow I will go to the vet with her to take a check up and get some pointers on what to do more in her case.

She looks like a plucky little fighter! Very happy to see she seems to be doing better. Getting some better fuel in the tank will certainly help her out. :-+

One of the late Korky's names was piglet. (We all know that cats have at least a dozen names, right?) You only had to see him eating to realise how he got that byname. He even used to beg broccoli off us when we were eating it! Brocolli, peas or any actual "cat appropriate" food on our plates would elicit loud "McNeooow!"s until some was actually lowered to floor level.
-

:-DD
Piglet joined the family in mid summer of 2014. I previously had two cats, Sparky and Peanut, both in their mid-late teens that had come to me when my friend's mother passed away suddenly and unexpectedly from cancer in fall of 2010. Peanut passed in April of 2014, so at that point I had only Sparky (who crossed the bridge in April of 2018 - April seems a bad month for my cats). My friend Jim’s wife had a coworker who had a cat that had kittens, and asked if I wanted one or two. Since I occasionally travel for work and am gone a week or two at a time, I said yes, so Sparky would have a companion again. Fast forward a month (June) and she calls me to say all have been spoken for. Oh well, more cats will have kittens.
In early August, we're dropping something off at another friend’s place and standing on the front step chatting when a pickup truck with a rather loud exhaust system passes, stops in front of the neighbor's house then continues down the street. I glanced over at it because of the loud noise, but beyond that paid it no attention. Shortly after it had pulled away, Jim looks over to me and says "hey Pat, you wanted another cat, right?" I sort of looked at him like he had three heads because the question was completely out of the blue. He responded to my puzzled look by pointing to the end of the driveway, where there was a tiny orange and white kitten. He explained that when the truck stopped in front of the neighbor's house, he'd seen the door open and the driver had placed the kitten on the ground. He’d waited for a bit to see if the neighbor was going to come get the cat, but then concluded it was being abandoned and pointed it out to me.
My first thought was 'oh crap, I’m going to be chasing a skittish kitten across Watertown Avenue!', but when I went to the end of the driveway and called out, she ran right up to me. She was a tiny little thing, so I scooped her up and brought her back up to the house. (A few minutes later the loud truck drove back up the street; believe me, if looks could kill that guy would have died on the spot.) She was wearing a flea collar that was much too tight, to the point the sides of her neck were rubbed raw and bloody, and looked like she had half a tennis ball protruding from her belly (turned out to be a huge umbilical hernia, thankfully not strangulated and thus not an immediate life threatening issue - the vet stated it was the largest he’d seen on a kitten that small). Brought her home and introduced her to Sparky; fortunately they got along fine.
First introduction:
(https://photos.smugmug.com/Animals/Sparky-and-Piglet/i-9dZLLPG/0/f5084f8a/XL/IMG_0037-XL.jpg)
Took her to the vet as soon as I could and got her checked out. Beyond the hernia and neck wounds, she was pronounced healthy, but underfed and underweight. The vet at first thought she was about eight weeks old based on her size, but upon seeing her teeth revised his estimate to twelve weeks. She got her name because, having been partially starved, she had a voracious appetite and would inhale her food, then push Sparky aside and eat hers, too. She was eating like a pig, and thus was christened Piglet.
There are still spots on either side of her neck where no fur grows. (They shaved her neck at the vet's to make applying antibiotic ointment easier)
(https://photos.smugmug.com/Animals/Sparky-and-Piglet/i-PhRKXvP/0/87005a36/XL/IMG_0046-XL.jpg)

There is a special place in hell for anyone who could drop this off to fend on her own:
(https://photos.smugmug.com/Animals/Sparky-and-Piglet/i-VC87XNX/0/e56a65a2/XL/IMG_0124-XL.jpg)
The hernia was taken care of a few weeks later when she was spayed, and she has since been a happy and healthy ball of fur. All I can conclude is that she was a pet and they decided that the didn’t want to pay to have the hernia taken care of, so she was discarded on the side of the road. As horrific as that was, I’m very glad she was discarded where my friend saw her, and I was able to take her in. She is a total sweetheart and cuddle monster.

I hope his former 'owners' moved to hell. They’ll eventually get there, and if there’s any justice in the world it will be to a special place there just for them. Despicable, heartless scumbags. That poor cat - hope someone adopts and loves him. Yet another reason why I hate people. :wtf: :rant: :rant: :rant:

Found this handsome guy yesterday in a parking lot, must be around a year old or a little less.
Once you had cats you know the difference between "Gimme food" and "SOS" signals, this guy was lost.
Feral cats were not happy, bullying him (and that's probably why he got lost in first place), had some scratches but nothing serious.
There must be an owner, he's just too docile and nicely cared-of.
Four strangers picking him up like a potato?
If nervous, not even my own cats would allow that without a skin-renewing session, didn't even show the claws!
5 minutes at home, called someone few times, then fell slept for the whole night, seems someone had a rough day!
Hopefully the owners will appear soon, doesn't like my food! Chicken breast? Where's the fat, bitch?

Updates:
Second night cleared. But I realize that she was not drinking water the full day. So yesterday gone to a vet and bought some kitty milk power. Today instead of water she have 50ml of mix plus oat with rice, chicken meat and pumpkin.
Her poo is now in a better shape, still same colour but starting to get more solid, with less water content, so less water lost by her.
She looks like a 2 week old but I would say that she is 1 week or almost 2 older, because of eating wet solid food.
-
Fingers crossed she keeps chugging along. Seems she’s in good hands.

I'd suggest to place the water bowl somewhere else than the regular food bowl.
Cats tend to drink water not where they are eating.
All the best for the little Meeow.

If she really is that young, she should be getting cat milk replacement formulae and being fed around the clock.
This is Chloe. I rescued her along with her sister by the road (she was just sitting by the side of the road while her litter mates played in the center with mom watching). I managed to grab the 2 sickest kittens. Neither i nor my vet thought she would make it. She was very ill and malnourished (probably the runt of the litter), but she had determination. I think she was around 6 weeks when I grabbed her and had to feed her around the clock for a couple weeks. Her sister. who was in much better shape, had to help her with the litter box
She was so malnourished my vet thought she would suffer eye problems. Turned out fine; she can spot a bug on the wall 6 meters away.
I thought I would only foster them until they got better, but you can imagine how that worked out.
She's one of only two cats that have given me nose licks. She's seven this year.

Unfortunately I can't keep a cat anymore due to my wife having a cat allergy. It is almost a year now that we brought our Ollie to an animal paradise. Was over 400Km away from where we live but we were not able to find a good home for her nearby. Luckily she adapted reasonably quick and his happy now. http://www.dierenparadijs-anjou.com/Dierenparadijs/Welkom.html (http://www.dierenparadijs-anjou.com/Dierenparadijs/Welkom.html) or on facebook https://www.facebook.com/DierenparadijsFR/ (https://www.facebook.com/DierenparadijsFR/) The people running it are amazing and really love all animals. We support them with donations like a lot of other people do too.
Some pictures from in the beginning when she was adjusting to the change.

Update 2:
Two more days gone. She's going great. Her stomach is way better, so I got her to the vet for a check up. She got sprayed to kill the parasites on the fur, and is currently changing to wet food per vet orders.
She is close to 1 month old but underdeveloped.
Also she got a name now: Wonder, given by the new owner, the Welsh neighbour. She will be kept in my home for one more week and next week goes to his house. Although yesterday she was at the new owner's house for some hours to get used and because of the flea spray (I didn't want my kid to touch her).
Here the last video from her, without sound to respect the new owner's privacy since he was on a work call - https://imgur.com/YhtHNPf

Yeah some cats do like to be brushed, but this one is very special. :)
Before we brought our cat to her new home we tried if brushing her every morning and evening would reduce my wives problems with the allergy. Ollie liked it very much and started to ask for it :) but unfortunately it did not help.
-
For me a bit of consolation, the cat of our neighbors is visiting us once in a while. She is very skittish and won't come near to be petted, but maybe over time. Yesterday she picked our terrace to take a nap on.

Hows this for a cool cat 8)
-
Clipped claws? Hmmm.
-
A cat in nature does this himself by scratching objects, but the coolness for me is how easy going he is being "worked" on. Bathing a cat is also not needed for a healthy cat. They do a very good job themselves. But no stress when the water was running over its face :)
-

And how shall this poor cat now shred the furniture and the wallpapers?
On a more serious note: could it still climb a cat tree?
-
Claws the way I like'm.
-
Some cats need a little help. Without trimming or normal wear, they may grow around into the foot pad. One of my cats will grow little callouses that mirror her claws and those need to be trimmed. If nails click when they walk, they're too long.
Stan, who passed a little over a year ago, always knew exactly where his claws were. If he wanted something, he would come by, sit and look at me. If I ignored him, he would come up and pat my leg (claws sheathed). If I still ignored him, the claws would come out and he would make a more pointed argument .
-
Not a problem for the cat, but better avoid that if he's allowed to go outside, it's their main defense against other animals.
I also like the claws, but some cats are plain dumb or too sensible.
I had a cat, although very gentle, would extend them most of the times I lifted him, attaching to my clothes/skin like his life was in danger, but completely relaxed, he just did that for no reason!
That and beating the sofa / bed when bored.
So yep, a trimming every 10-15 days was a must for that little bastard!
He was just a plain idiot: yelling at 4am for food, once you got up and went to see, oh I have food!
False alarm human, forget it.
His brother was stronger and bigger, but with a completely different personality, a lot nicer, also way smarter, he knew how stupid his brother was and would "correct" him when he started doing dumb stuff :-DD
Then the idiot ate too much one day, we came from work and found the cat stuck behind a closet, he had pushed all he could to stuff that fat belly in, but the butt was left behind! That was hilarous. The big one came after him, licked few times, and applied some "corrective" mild slaps for being so dump.
The cat I took care of last weekend (Already with the owner) didn't show the claws even when 3 strangers grabbed him while a dog was barking at him! He just shrinked in our arms like a baby.
Oh but in play time... The young feeecker had a lot of energy, took 5 seconds to learn to not use my hand to play with him!
My wrist is full of marks like I tried to commit suicide ::)

I keep all but Ghost clipped. She's the former feral and too skittish to hold, but I'm often tempted to try getting her used to it as she often gets her claws caught in things. Piglet is usually very mellow and lets me do them without too much fuss; Pixel and Beaker don't much like it but let me do it just the same. Nixie and Faraday are still relatively new here and not entirely used to it, but only wrestle a bit. Gilmore is the challenge - he turns it into a full on wrestling match; I usually wind up covered in fur. That said, it seems to be a game to him because the entire time he's squirming and fighting, he's also purring up a storm. Crazy cats I have here...

Some cats need a little help. Without trimming or normal wear, they may grow around into the foot pad.
This is what our cats used to use to trim theirs.

They do like their secluded spaces. Our male cat always hid underneath the duvet when a "stranger" came by :-DD Sure we don't see you because you don't see us, but what about that strange bulge in the duvet :palm:

Cold weather, that is where the cat is now, sleeping nicely under the fluffy blankets, where he feels both comfortable and safe. Cats feel cold easily, despite all the fur.

I threw the sheets on that chair when I pulled them out of the dryer. I noticed he'd found them and I could see his body in them. But it looked awful tight and I thought I'd better see if he got tangled up in that fitted sheet. It seemed like he had wrapped-up too tight and I wanted to make sure he wasn't caught, so I got him out to that point. :-//

We lost our cat Sammy in 2019 due to cancer in the kidneys. He was a lovely little devil, always trying to clean out the pots and pans.
He had a good live of six years. Was born on our porch together with his sister.

Unfortunately she decided to go missing in action. The people from the shelter contacted us last week to inform us that Ollie is missing, so we can only hope that she found another place to stay and is happy there.
-
Nothing wrong here.

Luckily Ollie returned. A bit worse for wear, hungry and thirsty. See has been away for over 5 weeks, so might have been accidentally trapped in a barn or so. Hopefully she learned from it and won't wonder of anymore.

Post a picture of a cat.......sorry but not the one of her you would want to see today.
Taniwha is no more, 17.5 yrs was the best she could do after quite quickly fading away over the last few weeks and to not eating at all over the last few days was laid to rest today.
Her first appearance here was in post #20:
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/msg978530/#msg978530 (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/msg978530/#msg978530)
Faithful chatty little shadow she was, nothing really special as cats go but special in her own way.
Bye bye the little meow. :'(
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1372205)
The Taniwha was our younger sons cat, given to him by his aunty on his 15th birthday nearly 18 years ago and despite him having done 2 six month stints of harvest in the US and living away from home in his young adult years whenever he visited they both hunted one another out for a cuddle session.
Now our younger Larry Minor has his own partner and live on the property a little away from us with the eye dog Fly but there was something missing so they got a cat.
Meet Minx. (~4 mths)
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1542847)
Cute but unfortunately a little handled thing and a bit timid although she has a fascination with Fly annoying her ever waking moment so now her inside bed (next to Minx) is rarely used as Fly would rather be out on the porch to escape the persistent annoyance.
Minx is just starting to enjoy human company and if you can get her going you have quite a noisy little tractor purring in your hands.
-
Minx is a stunner - beautiful pattern in her coat! Hope she warms up over time and becomes another faithful shadow.
-Pat

I'm sure she will. She already follows Larry's Minors lady of the house around and camps with her on the sofa in the evenings and even in just the 10 days since I took that pic she is already getting to recognize me and not go scuttling off like she used to.
You can all be sure I'll pop up some more pics of her, maybe while Fly the eye dog is rounding her up.......she just can't help herself, that's what eye dogs are best at. :)
-
That behaviour will probably stop around the time "Kitten attached to nose prickles" to "cat attached to nose bloody hurts". :)
The late Boot, when a kitten, used to run up my trousers, across my chest and hide on my shoulder. Wasn't really painful, just mildly irritating. Some years later something spooked him, he reverted to "scared little kitten", and he did the same thing when now 8kg. Took weeks for the line of perforations to heal.
-
One of my cats used to play "velcro" when she was a kitten. Run, launch and stick, usually about thigh level. Fortunately she outgrew that.
-
With temps having reached 38 celsius here, today, our two cats are lying on the floor so flat you could mail them in a C3 envelope.

Nixie likes to use me as a launching platform to get to the window when I'm sitting on the throne. Hop up on my knee/thigh, then up to my back, then to the platform on the windowsill. He usually lands his jumps clawlessly, but on those occasions when he misjudges and adds the mini grippers to the mix, it is rather painful. :-DD

Unfortunately I have only the 'Unterrichtsblaetter fuer das Fernmeldewesen' in my collection and not their sister publication concerned with other postal matters, so I can't offer an answer to the questions
- what is to be done if a envelope meows back at you upon application of the post mark
- whether it is allowed to post two cats in one envelope
-
- what is to be done if a envelope meows back at you upon application of the post mark
I would of course put them through the franking machine.

Today I was actually glad we don't have a cat anymore.
This nice bird, a black woodpecker, flew against the window. If our Ollie still lived with us it might have ended differently. The woodpecker needed some time to recover but it did and flew back to where she came from.
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1545838;image)
Why she flew into the window we don't know, but there is a tree falcon hunting around here.

Happens a lot here, they just don't seem to notice the window. It leaves a nice dust print on the window most of the time :)

That I know. Other birds do it a lot, but the black woodpecker is less abundant and normally stays on their own patch in the trees. The spotted woodpecker is more common and one of those actually killed him self when he flew against the window. Blue tits or tomtits do it more regularly unfortunately.
Edit: It was actually the first black woodpecker I have seen in the wild. Been here for 14 years now, and we know they are around, but they don't show themselves. Just like the golden oriole, we can hear them but hardly ever see them. Always stick to the top of the trees between the leaves.
Beginning of this year we saw a wild boar with youngsters in a field near us. Was also a first.

In a company where I spent some time I worked frequently with a guy who was a Master of precision mechanics (Feinmechaniker-Meister), who had his apprenticeship at Rohde & Schwarz at some time in the 50s. He was also a proper citizen of Munich. I learned several variations from him, none of which made Frankonians seem even remotely acceptable as colleagues or company.
Even that the Frankonians outnumbered him about 10:1, he could be heard clearly with utterances like 'Aus dem Gestank entstand' der Frank'!' or 'Man soll Gott fuer alles danken, SOGAR Ober-, Unter-, Mittelfranken!'...often garnished with a heartfelt 'Ja pfuideifi!'

And here's a few more from the last few days where the Minx has finally been allowed to explore the outside world after a couple of weeks getting used to her new digs.
Fly while still keen to escape the constant harassment has a new respect for the Minx as she can fit into the small hidey spaces local rabbits frequent and flush them for Fly to chase.
Minx never rests so nice shots of her are difficult to get and she's got a lot of growing to do based on how much she eats. :o
Apparently these Bengals can get quite big and she's currently helping Fly chew through some home butchered beef that met an untimely end a few days back.
More later for sure. :)

Do you happen to know the family history of Minx? She is a beautiful brown Bengal - my favorite. My sweet departed HunkyBill has offspring around the globe as he was a stud male for a few years before being sold as a pet and then eventually rescued by us. His registered name is Trendar Flash of Kanpur can be linked to hundreds or thousands of bengals around the world.

No papers, and breeding lineage unknown sorry.

No worries - she is a cutie. Likely crazy smart if you tap into her potential you'll be amazed.

She's still just a crazy kitten with endless energy which or course she need grow out of first but unfortunately barely handled by the breeder but certainly coming around in the few weeks she's been with the kids......hey we're still allowed to call them kids even if they're in their 30's, right ?
They have a harness for her and plan to take her walkies once older and the weather gets better (mid winter here) and ideally like to get her used to the rifle for rabbit hunting forays.....food for the cat !
Then there are car and quad bike rides to get used to so to visit us and trips around our farm to spots where there might be a rabbit or two.
So much for a young'un to learn.......

Paper towel rolls to cats are like q-tips for us humans.
They have sheathed claws that shed the outer layer, we have ear canals trapping water or with annoying wax buildup.
Neither of the things get used the way they are supposed to, but eh, it feels good, doesn't it?

What other purpose do q-tips have than cleaning your ears? :-//

I guess she's abusing the knowledge picked up in your place to do a rather unfair Sphinx emulation. Starting out with the usual 'answer my riddle or I eat you', the unsuspecting boy expecting some age-old bore finds himself confronted with a question like 'which probe was the original fit for the Tek 2337'? And the tip of Madam's tail does the metronome for the next 90s, then BURRP!

The Minx diaries:
I must be getting bigger now as me mumz dragged me off in a box that I wasn't too keen about to see something she called the Vet. :-//
All they did was jab something in my neck and sent us on our way for another car ride....something I apparently need get used to. More :-// But stuff that box thing however the harness and lead although I'm not keen on it is far more preferable than being locked up !
Anyways in the afternoon I was pretty knackered despite doing bugger all so a nap was needed and next I knew I was alone and after some pondering why I had been fed early and remembering some discussion about collecting feeder calves I hunkered down after noshing all my dinner and waited for their return. :=\
Then I hearz someone at the door but dark it was so until the light went on I didn't know it was that grandad I see every few days that had come down to check on me in their absence.
Anyways I had a good snoozing spot directly under the heat pump vent and feeling a bit mouldy after that jab didn't really care when he insisted on giving me a pat. ::)
Then he just thought the place was his and parked on the sofa to watch some TV occasionally getting up and coming over to give another pat and a welcomed scratch under the chin for which I rewarded him with a purr.
Then just before he left me in peace for the night and without even asking took this pic of me relaxing in my boudoir. Ya all like my matching blanket, right ?
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1558771)
Then whaddayaknow, he was back in the morning as mumz and dadz hadn't returned and graced me with their presence yet and he caught me napping in my other digs.
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1558777)
But after a proper rest without disturbances from mumz or dadz or that damn Fly dog I managed to evade pats from that old fella but let him get one in after he fished my breakfast from the fridge......not a fan of cold breakfast. :--
Something was up....he went outside to get his boots ..... yeah they wear those things when it's wet outside but don't give me any .... and he was trying his darnest to get me to follow ....not bloody likely as it was warmer inside.
Then he used a little trick I didn't see coming with that thing on a string I like to chase which lured me into the porch and click went the door behind me ! :rant:
Then he jumps on this thing with wheels and no roof and zooms off and leaves me, home and alone ! :(
Mumz, dadz, when are you coming home with them feeder calves ?
Might I be allowed to lick the milk from their buckets ?
Bye for now, more about me finding my way about in rural NZ later.....got things to do (https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/test-equipment-anonymous-(tea)-group-therapy-thread/?action=dlattach;attach=739377;image)

The Minx diaries.
A lot happens in the week since my last entry, mom showed me what feeder calves are and I hinder help her with their feeds night and morning except for the last few days as she went to some conference :blah: and in a plane whatever that is and she hasn't come home yet and left me with that eye dog Fly that I really enjoy annoying until dad goes soft on her and gives me a growling. ::)
Dad seems to have too much on to even wait for me to come help with the calves so there are times when I give him a nip on the leg too just to see if he's awake but I generally come off second best with flying lessons so I'm thinking I need be faster so to just nip and run. >:D
That grandad visited today and I know his tricks with that thing on a string so not planning to get shut outside again the same way. The old fella always wants to pick me up but I'm not keen on cuddles as there is too much to do except when the weather is shite like yesterday when dad gave me a midday feed that was so good I crashed right out for the afternoon. :=\
Dad was telling grandad lies about when I awoke I went mental and gave him and Fly a real hard time, who me, nah ! >:D
Grandad mentioned something about some best whishes from a Shrew called Neomys in Germany but I don't know what a Shrew is or anything about Germany. :-// Hello the Shrew.
Anyways that grandad didn't stay long but took my plaything the Fly dog with him after dad said she needed a few hours rest from me, nah never, not me.
However I did pose for a quick portrait with that thing on a string before he and the Fly left....you can see I'm slowly getting bigger.

It took a while to find just the right boy after losing HunkyBill but he has now arrived. Exactly 3 months old and so full of life it blows my mind. I've never had a kitten that wants to play this much and does so with so much fire. We're in for quite the ride.
I've always named my cats after getting to know them, so far we're not sure what this boy will be called.
The last picture is him expressing his displeasure of the 5 hour car ride home.

I have a couple of those cat trees and I don't understand why they use carpet on the legs. The rope wound legs seem to be very robust to clawing, the carpet just shreds. So why not cover all the legs with rope?

Carpet is probably less expensive. I need to re-rope my oldest tree as several of its legs are getting pretty shredded, though it's also seven years old at this point. They certainly don't owe me anything. Need to order replacement sisal rope one of these years...

The original bearings were worn nearly to the point of coming apart (and the first one had). They were making pretty horrendous noise before replacement. Might as well have been small rocks in the races.

The wheels weren’t the issue, it was the crap bearings they used in them. Fortunately they’re the same size as those commonly used in rollerblades, so I bought a package of 20 of them from either Amazon or eBuy, and pressed the new ones into the old wheels. The new bearings seem to be more robust by a long shot, being sealed among other things.

Ahh - I was unclear in how I conveyed that. After determining that they were the same size bearings that were in my rollerblade wheels, I did buy just the replacement bearings. They were not expensive; might have paid $15 for twenty of them, so there are spares for the future if the furballs wear them out again.
I had to pop the old bearings out of the existing wheels, but they weren’t terribly tight and it was easy enough to remove them. The new bearings pressed into the old wheels without any difficulty; think I might have used a scrap of lumber to push them evenly into position, but was able to do it with nothing more than hand pressure. I then returned the two ‘borrowed' wheels to my rollerblades (that I haven’t been on in probably fifteen years…).

A cat of a neighbor of ours. He is kind enough to let me pet him. Needed some patience but in the end he came to me and even dropped on the ground to show his belly. Was not allowed to per him there though :)
When the neighbor first got him the cat followed him everywhere and at some point he, the cat, wanted to stay with us, but my wife picked him up and brought him back to the neighbor. Since we have not seen him much, but today he decided to rest in our garden and let me greet and pet him. Made my day :)

That's one problem I don't have much of with my cats. I tell them something is off limits and after a few reminders, they learn. They may not learn perfectly, but they learn. Then, when they want to piss me of, they deliberately do what they aren't supposed to. They are very smart that way.

He will learn, but it is only day 5 of him being here, 3 months old is hard to discipline, life is way to new and exciting.

I have a strict "don't touch my laptop" policy. As you can see that is busted and I'm clearly a pushover.
That reminds me of a nigth a few years ago. One of my cats was sleeping at the foot end of my bed when I heard him starting to retch. As he was a bit old and sickly at the time I tried to grab him to get him on the floor quickly before he had a chance to empty his stomach contents all over my bed. That did not work ::). He got scared and jumped onto the nightstand where me Thinkpad was sitting. He jumped on the keyboard, the screen went full brightness and the machine made a loud beep, cat got scared puked all over the laptop, nightstand and wall, threw the computer on the ground and scarpered.
So I was left cleaning up all the mess, disassembling and washing the laptop before the yucky stuff dried out. That was a fun night :-DD. The Thinkpad still lives, had to replace the keyboard and the fan. Most of the juice went straight out the drain holes.
Still - I love cats :-//.
-
Years ago, one of ours chose to get sick all over my brand new Pentax DSLR. When I discovered the mess in the morning, all had run into every nook and cranny and most of it had dried.
This being the first series of Pentax DSLRs advertised as weatherproof, I called their German HQ in Hamburg and asked what to do. "Well, you don't have much choice, do you? Take it to the sink." Under the tap it went and everything cleaned off nicely. Cat and camera happily lived on for many years.

33 years old picture; this innocent looking kitty(not mine) in a year became the terror of the neighbourhood in a shape of a ~10kg tomcat, all muscle and claws.
Performances includes hunting down compering tomcats from trees, rats, mice, birds(sparrows mostly), but it remained extremely friendly with the humans.
Edit: he was around six months old when I took the picture; back the I've processed manually everything: negative and printout.

Wonder, by the depth of the surface of the pond, they are adapting to anti-gravity drinking.

I'm surprised the cat does not try to catch the koi carp. Like both of them though. We had a big koi pond when we lived in Nunhem. Was a lot of work though. Here we have a big pond with regular carp in it. Don't see the fish that much, them being dark in color :)
Edit: when that picture was taken we already had the house in France and spent a lot of our time there, so the fish where not in the pond any more. Gave them to a koi enthusiast.

We started with a Dutch carp, who came probably as an egg when we put some canal water in the pond, to make the pond biostable. The carp got bigger and bigger and then started jumping out of the water, till I couldn't save him any more. Loneliness, I suppose.
So we bought a few sort of goldfish, a few little koi's, to fill the void. Going well, without extensive engine rooms that seems to go with Koi-enthousiasts. First they have to go through the winter.
The cats are enjoying the fish, but Billy killed the frog in the end.
Edit: like the house, like the styling of the pond, the curve makes it infinite.

I was hard when Lia died, she was an abused cat that had been seriously injured when we got her. We had her eight years and when I think about her I don't think about her leaving, I think about the good life we gave her and how happy she was.
Yeah. They always leave us too soon, and it hurts like hell when it happens. The good thing is that over time that hurt fades mostly away, but the good memories stay strong. Good on you for taking her in and giving her a good life.

Boomer discovers the door to the basement(and my lab). He has not yet been given access but is getting awful curious.
He is also noticeably bigger than when we got him just 1.5 weeks ago, growing like a weed he is!

Meanwhile at a Cafe somewhere in Istanbul...

That looks like a very satisfied cat there under the table.
For the piano cat I feel a little bit sorry. Does not seem to mind it that much or was sedated to make the video. Don't think many cats will endure the loud sounds of the strings so close by.
-
Well update:
There she is with 2 months in the house. After all I kept her, wasn't able to let her go.
Her name is now Wanda, from the Marvel's Dr. Strange comics.
This photo was taken at the vet for her shots, probably the only time I saw her calm. Other than that she has been a great company, my kid loves her, my wife not so much because of how mischievous she is.

Maxim vs Bug
It's actually a June Bug, well that's what we call them. They come out mostly in June (duh) :-DD from the ground. But this isn't June is it? Well we had a severe drought and 100 deg temps for two months and then almost overnight a monsoon rain. That caused them to dig out of the ground again.
Anyway, when he sees one outside he goes nuts and wants me to get one for him. So I pick one up and put it on the floor. Then he has a new toy. I could barely get a pic because he was moving so fast. :P

They are super crunchy :)
-
Yes, but what about the bug rights of the bug :-DD
Not going to post it, because it will bring animal rights groups on my back, but I have photo's where the mother cat eats a squirrel :palm:
Instead one with mother and her babies. Black and white one is Sammy, tricolor one is Ollie. The mother Minou was originally our neighbors cat, but she always came to us, him only being there in the weekends. But when we kept the young ones she got fed up (Cats are weird that way) and left to go back to the neighbor and he moved away a couple of years back taking Minou with him.
Sammy died 3 years ago due to cancer. Ollie was brought to "dierenparadijs" over a year ago when the wifes cat allergy played up. https://www.facebook.com/DierenparadijsFR/photos/pcb.8117119684994866/8117085834998251/?type=3&theater (https://www.facebook.com/DierenparadijsFR/photos/pcb.8117119684994866/8117085834998251/?type=3&theater)

So I can sometimes hear ... ;D
Yes, but what about the bug rights of the bug :-DD
Well, it's the animal kingdom. Like in the movie John Wick Chapter 2 he gets told by the manager -
"Rules Jonathon. Without rules we live with the animals."
But, sometimes he doesn't eat them. I've found them actually alive in the morning. But, I as a human, feel bad for the bug so I pick it up and toss it back in the garden to live another day. :-+

He sleeps in any position.

I think it belongs to the neighbours a couple of houses down the street. It really likes attention but needs to share my garden with the cats next door. The cats next door are very skittish though but seem to envy their friend getting all the petting while they are sitting high up on the fence ^-^

Someone else with an old 8754A and storage normalizer.
-
I wondered if someone was going to see that. The other side of the bench is more modern but didn't have a cat on it. He should have been sitting next to the Mantis :-DD
That one is sufficient for what little I do with RF, but even I won't stoop to grease pencils (for you youngons, without a normalizer you'd mark the base line on the screen with a grease pencil, then connect your DUT and observe the trace displacement to determine gain/loss vs frequency. Shocking yes, but that's what you had to do before everything had a cpu in it)

Something something folic acid...
Or, some cats like leafy greens, and many leafy greens are good for cats, even though cats are obligate carnivores.
-
AFAIK cats eat grass to make them throw up hair balls from their stomage.

Not only that, no. And not just for fibers to remove intestinal parasites, either. That folic acid stuff is real, it just depends on the cat's diet and preferences whether they like leafy greens too.

Maybe cats just find it tasty ;D

Our recently departed Tani would just sit there knowing there were fish bits coming her way as it was a welcomed change of diet from rabbit ! :-DD
Most fish is muck with bones so she would wait patiently while daddy created the boneless fish fillets the family liked to trough and she'd have her own troughing session on the the lateral line trimmings where all the little bones are.
Those little fish bones never worried her and she crunched them all up.

Resized a harness so it would fit the little Boom. Tried it out last night briefly and today after work we toured the backyard together. So far he has taken to the harness extremely well. Only issue is when he wants to do sprints across the yard and goes under/between trees/bushes. Places I cannot follow...

All set for freezing. He'll fit into a 2.5 Gal. freezer bag. Just gotta get that tail in there
:-DD
Oh I wouldn't do that. I was looking at my 3D printer supplies. I keep my PLA in bags with desiccant. Problem was some of the bags had little holes in them. Geez wonder how that happened? But I was replacing some bags and Maxim found a way into one. He seemed to like it so I let him think he had found a really cool new hideout ... (uh it's clear plastic buddy). :-//
I let him play in it until I had to do other things, then I had to dump him out.
-
I think cats feel the same about boxes and tight spots for naps as many humans do about weighed blankets.
-
Literally, our cat is addicted to them. Just received a parcel? She'll be at your feet waiting for the box. The only disappointment is when she can't quite fit...

Amazing how {mostly} symmetrical those stripes and spots are on both sides of the body like the legs. Do you find it mostly symmetrical all the way down his body?
-
The patterns/dots on his sides are quite different. The legs are similar but not quite the same. And really they aren't supposed to be. As a general rule a fully domestic tabby will have very symmetrical markings, however wild cats do not.
This is a picture of the type of Asian Leopard cat(fully wild) he is mixed with. Generally after the first mix you need at least another 5 mixes with a tabby to fully domesticate. Many breeders try to keep the look of the wild cat while having the personality fully domesticated. So far Boomer is a super sweetie but he does have killer instinct and is very very active. He is super vocal with lots of unique sounds and always up for adventure.

Minx diaries update.
You just can't know how busy I have been especially now the better weather has arrived where if I'm lucky and mom has time then we, that is my buddy Fly and I get to go for long walkies to visit moms cows. 2km is not unusual. :phew:
Over the last few weeks Fly and I go with mom the 100yds to the feeder calf rearing shed night and morning to make milk from powder and hot water to feed them. A while back it was the same daily routine but then we also had to feed a mob of calves in a paddock a couple hundred yards away but to them only once/day. :-//
That involved connecting a wheeled tanker thing with suckling teats so they could have a drink in the paddock.
In the last few days all the feeder calves have been put out on the grass to get fed just once/day. The ppl called it weaning.
I don't much like that SUV bike thing that tows the wheeled tanker so I make my own way home while Fly jumped on the back for a ride. ::)
That is if dad's not home otherwise I keep right at his heels as we wander home for dinner or breakfast.
For a good while that dog Fly was owned by me, I mean really owned as everytime she came near I launched at her neck and hooked my paws around it. Mom and dad told Fly to be nice so for a while I got away with murder. >:D
But one day Fly had my measure, so much so I never saw it coming and while in midair she just flicked her head sideways and sent me off barrel rolling. :o
The ppl all pissed themselves with laughter and so much so I thought it best to teach that Fly a lesson and launched at her but with the exact same result !
Man that Fly is smart and I've lost my edge now but we've turned it into play where she comes in and pretends to bite me while I'm trying my absolute best to hook her with my claws but wow is she so darn fast !
Then I get pissed off and with hackles up charge at her and that turns into another game of catch me if you can.
So with all this activity I needs lots of sleep and occasionally that grandad either visits or does some work on the machines in the shed, just 50yds from home which is another favourite place of mine when Fly is away that I turn into a big obstacle course. Sometimes there are some tasty greens at the shed too.
Getting used to that wrinkly old grandad now and he's not too bad now he's stopped wanting to always pick me up for cuddles.....YUK ! However I do like a chin, cheek and ear scratch and reward him with a purr if he gets it just right.
Anyways, a few pics for your pleasure. Seeya....
-
She is such a cutie!

She is such a cutie!
She is and so is yours.
This pic was snapped 5 weeks ago when she was just starting to settle for strangers and it's not really her normal look rather one just before flight fearing the stranger.
Now a bit older she barely gives a toss who turns up as she is confident she is fast enough to escape the stranger danger.
(https://www.eevblog.com/forum/chat/post-a-picture-of-a-cat!/?action=dlattach;attach=1623148)
Her mom and pop (our son and partner) are away for Xmas so I'll get to look after her and Fly but will take the dog to our place just 200yds away to give some peace from the little feline monster.

Meet Froggy. I wonder if he is a very distant cousin of Mr. Tiltface, who was featured in nctnico’s posting that started it all back in 2016.

Well it's been far too long since I posted a picture of Boomer.
Last Saturday was his 6 month birthday. He also had his weekly weigh-in yesterday and was 3.96 kg's(8.7 pounds).
He worked hard at the office playing with his mouse yesterday as can be seen.

Today I'd like to introduce Loki. He is a tomcat, ca 1+ year old. He is visiting us since Februrar and in the beginning he was very shy and distrustful. But after a while he discovered how nice it is to be stroked and getting crawled. But he never stands still enough for a good picture. Even today he is very active and also a bit nervous. Those four pictures are the best I could make but unfortunately they are still a little blurred. The camera may also have some difficulties to focus on a complete black cat. ;D

You'd think, but we've been going for walks in the snow and he walks right through ice water puddles without giving them a second look.
He also loves to dig in the snow:

We're working on it. He didn't like the sound of a shower but now peaks in no problem with the water going. He will also run around the tub when it is mostly empty. He also slipped and fell in a (clean) toilet the other day. Got some wet paws but it didn't actually scare him.
Climbing snow mountains really makes him happy too.
And the other day my wife sent me some pics as he discovered the fun of being on top of a door.

HunkyBill was always jealous of my radio control helicopters. He would sit and watch me fly them. He loved to steal the landing pad when possible but also took great pleasure in walking up to them and gently(thankfully) tipping them over. He was always pleased as punch when his job was done. I miss that boy every single day.

By all rights that box of shrink tubing should have been dumped on the floor. :-DD

Indeed I do think he is a Russian Blue. I got him from the Humane Society and the card on him said he was turned in because they had "too many animals". But he does things associated with the breed like fetch toys.
He does get into things as do all cats, but he's pretty good about it most of the time. Like today I came back and it didn't look like he had disturbed anything - just looking this time. I had sense enough to turn off the soldering iron (even though it will go into sleep mode). Most of the other items were OK to get kicked off the table (except like I said I should have closed the box of tubing which would have made a mess for me).
Oh! Come to think of it - I think I know what he was looking for (and didn't find). He wanted a cotton swab. He can't resist cotton swabs. I learned that a long time ago. He'll grab one and run off with it to chew on it. So I had to either hide them all or keep them in a plastic container that he can't open. Finding none - he wasn't interested in anything else. :phew:

About four times. The first time he wanted to stand on it - but I couldn't get the camera shot fast enough. The next times (since I was the one placing him on the scale) he didn't want to stay there. Of course not - he didn't choose the action I did. :palm:

Christmas trees and cats, dogs, and rugrats are not a problem, people!
Just use strong fishing line, a hook in the ceiling, and hang the tree.
This is how we always did it in my childhood home. It would have had zero chances of staying upright otherwise.

Because of me and my three brothers. We climbed everything, including the walls. (Horizontal spruce paneling in certain rooms, and traditional vertical wood siding on the house.)
I have been told the genesis was one Christmas before my own birth, and the sixth tipover by a turbo-crawling rugrat, that clued my dad into using a length of salmon fishing line and a hook in the ceiling. In fact, it makes everything so much easier, the tradition continued ever since, even after tree-tipping was no longer an issue.

I call her Squirt. She was abandoned at a gas station at about 8 weeks old and emaciated. Now she’s 8 pounds soaking wet, turning 8 years old in February.
Not a remarkable picture, but we nearly lost her this week to an apparent reaction to a rabies vaccination. Four days of taking no food or water necessitated daily trips (which just compounded the stress) to the vet for IV fluids. Finally yesterday morning she bounced back, attacking her food and playful again. She was exhausted from the experience in this picture from last night but back to her normal self.

I wonder if he does that just because he's seen you do it, or because he thinks the mouse sometimes moves on its own when you have your hand on it, and hopes to play with it?
Pretty smart, anyway.

There are times he likes to click the mouse, guess he likes the sound. I found him doing it at my office. That evening I told my wife and she told me he liked to do it to her office computer as well.
He also celebrated 8 months of life yesterday.

I'm amazed how he does not seem to mind the leash.
Well it has taken some time. He is only allowed outside with the harness on or in a stroller/backpack. We've spent lots of time in the yard or at the office with it. His understanding of how it works is getting better each time. Such as navigating around poles and such. I can guide him for the most part, have him change direction. I do still have to stop and let him sniff, but can ask him to get going again and he usually complies. Just takes time, practice and some patience. Overall I'm very pleased with the progress we've made together.

Don't think the cats we had would have liked it. But they lived outside for the first half year of their lives. The mother cat was from a neighbor but gave birth at our house. My wife was allergic for cats when she was young so we talked about it an decided to keep them as farm cats, but at first it looked like she was not affected by them and keeping them outside is not easy. Leave a door open and they walk in. So we allowed them in. Even put in a cat flap. The only risk around here is foxes and other cats. They did get into fights once and a while.
But after eight years my wife started to get some health problems and blood tests showed allergic reactions to cats. There was only one cat left, which made it a bit easier to find another home for her, the cat that is.
The mother cat took of on her own when she noticed that the youngsters where allowed to stay. The neighbors moved and took her with them we think. As written before the boy cat died due to cancer.
So now I enjoy the pictures of you guys :-+

Would have been even better had there not been a leash. But the little leopard can not be trusted to run free, at all, ever. The instinct in him from his asian leopard cat side is incredibly strong, he is so demanding and just wants to go, go, go for large parts of the day. We've pondered getting him a "friend" but I suspect it will be a tough match. I fear he could end up bullying another cat if it isn't strong enough to handle him.
We're also struggling with discipline - in the past I've had pretty good luck with a water bottle sprayer. I tried it the other day and Boomer thought it was the best game ever. He ran around the room hiding and popping his head up daring me to spray. He would be duck down, hide and repeat.
Not surprising I guess as he walks through puddles when we're leash walking and will go out in the pouring rain.
We've also tried a time out in a bathroom, but no matter what happens when you pick him up to take him to the bathroom for his time out he starts purring.
Ahh the joys of a little wild machine. We love him to death already but he is a challenge. My wife is getting me a t-shirt with his face on it that says "BOOM" for my birthday.

Have you tried rechargeable toys that go by themselves? I have ones like the link below. It runs for quite a while and has an off-center weight that makes it go in unpredictable directions. Might be good to get different ones so he doesn't get bored.

The Russian Blue is a naturally occurring breed that may have originated in the port of Arkhangelsk in Russia.[1] They are also sometimes called Archangel Blues.[2] It is believed that sailors took them from the Archangel Isles to Great Britain and Northern Europe in the 1860s.

Boomer got his first trip to a small local lake today. He did start walking out into the water but I was not able to get a picture as I was trying to not sink into the mud at the time. There were quite a few people with dogs around as well, most were very good but one had no concept of what a leash was so that was a bit of a problem.

Minx has been doing morning farm walkies with her Mom and buddy Fly the heading dog and while on the property no need at all for a lead.
Yesterday coaxed by Mom, Pop (our son) and Fly they all walked the 200yds to our place with Minx for her first visit to the Grandies house. As our garden is well established Minx had a great time exploring and climbing trees however her descending skills are still in development as was evident when she gave herself a fright in a tree and launched herself from 8ft up covering ~12ft past my ear before landing perfectly on the lawn with a tail the size of Basil Brush scarpering off to safety from her own doings. :-DD
25C yesterday so she panted like a dog and apparently needed a big nap after visiting us.
Pics below taken a few weeks back of her showing off to Grandpop while her servants were away for Xmas.

Most cat's I've had cluck or chirp at birds and other animals. I don't think I've had one that appears to be trying to mimic the birds sounds though. Boomer is a very loud beast but so far doesn't seem to do it. When inside he will focus on the birds etc very intently with his tail often flipping around a lot. When he realizes he will never get them he will meow at them loudly. When outside he generally stays quiet as he does everything in his power to catch them.

Finding new places she shouldn't be.
The lack of a cardboard box with your old T-shirt/towel as a blanket is self-evident, therefore the second-best place under the light-warmth source must do.

Finding new places she shouldn't be.
The lack of a cardboard box with your old T-shirt/towel as a blanket is self-evident, therefore the second-best place under the light-warmth source must do.
She began rejecting all provided beds when she was about 6 month old, won't go near them anymore. Tried 3, not sure why she no longer likes them.
However, her usual perch when she comes to visit in on the Wifi router... for heat. In summer she watches cat TV out the window.
In the photo however she is in, "What can I do that will distract and piss him off enough he addresses MY concerns and feeds me/lets me out/obeys my every whim?"
We have already mentioned the plucking carpet issues. Well, we have allowed her other ways to get her message across which are less destructive. Climbing around the office in places she knows she isn't meant to be is one of them. Playing with sweety wrappers or discarded cardboard beside the bin is another. At least it's much more seldom the carpet now. Figured she is fine tuning my response between anger, attention and the required obedience.
I know when I'm being trained.
EDIT: She 'does' use the provided heated (11W heater) mat I switch dusk till dawn for her in the bedroom, in her own little "cosy" between teh laundry baskets.

One question comes to my mind, when looking at all these cats on workbenches.
Isn't there a significant danger to the cat? Not just immediate danger should something be turned on. But what about solder and flux residue, that one component leg that was snipped into who knows where, or even simply lost tiny SMD components? When the cat is grooming, isn't there a significant change of ingestion?

My fear is the cat will finish one of the dozens of projects I have started.
Exactly!
Thats why I only let our cat into the workshop when I am behind schedule on a project...
As for people worried about them ingesting something that might have gotten caught in their fur.
A friend of my wife and mine is a Vet (and so is his wife) and when I was discussing this exact subject with him, while showing him actual SMD parts in my workshop, he said an SOT23-3/5/6 should pass through quite safely.
Small SMD components without legs like 0603, 0805, etc would be no problem at all. They will pass right through.
A 32 pin TQFP part with all its legs sticking out could be a bit of a concern, but they are not the type of part I leave lying around or accidentally drop on the floor and don't bother picking up.
-
You ever see them eating in the wild?
If you let you cat outside, especially around "Holiday season" there are at far, far, far greater risk of someone leaving out roast chicken or turkey.
Cats will simple eat the smaller bones. They will pass through. However, roasted meat bones are brittle and fracture creating incredibly sharp spikes and edges which, leads to some serious difficulties. Angel fell foul of this and was in a right state for a few days, but she was fine. Black "occult blood" in her waste which she had little control over, vomitting which included said turkey bones.
NEVER feed a cat cooked bones.

Now knowing where Minx spends her days....on the drivers seat in an old truck cab and we often pop our head in to say gidday and today with apparently enough rest she ventured forth to see what grandad and her dog Fly were up to.
On the way was a good layer of dust covering the concrete apron just outside the workshop door and what better to do than dull the nice shiny coat with a dust bath......but first she and Fly had a game of chase whitch Minx normally wins < great buddies they are.
She don't look much until you pick her up, all 5kg of wiry muscle !

That cat looking down upon it's possible prey reminds me of the opening lines of H.G. Wells The War of the Worlds:
"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

Mine has a really cute habit of falling over and stretching for attention and a belly rub.
She falls over so completely she normally squeaks as the air gets bumped out of her lungs.
I can't resist it and she knows it. "Aww, did you fall over again? Do you need a little belly rub."
Of course it's a trap and the belly rub turns into bunny kicks (sans claws) and then play fighting.

The Minx diaries
Grandad visited today and I was holed up on the old sofa under plastic sheets outside on our covered deck and nice and warm until dad asked my dog Fly where I was.
Darn that dog has a good nose as she led that grandad straight to my location despite being perfectly hidden.
Although the old fella was present I went inside to finish the remaining breakfast and heard dad spill the beans about how proud I was of a proper recent kill. Sorta puts one on a good mood to even withstand a few pats and scratches from grandad.
Of course I need show it off to receive much acclaim from grandad recognizing I was a proper big cat now.

A cat I had some years ago caught the other end of that. He was sitting on the covered porch while I was in the garden and wouldn't come out. I kept encouraging him and eventually he started walking across the yard. A mocking bird swooped down and pecked him on the head (or tried to). The cat made a 180 degree turn in the air and headed back to the porch. I didn't realize that was why he was reluctant to come out.
-
Reminds me of Boomer - he caught his first bird the other day even though we do everything possible to stop him. Even on the leash he flew up and grabbed it right out of the air only a few feet from me.
:-DD
Best of luck trying to beat Mother Nature.
Our Tani (gone a year now) was very fond of a warm sparrow however cock sparrows were much her preference over hens. In her 17 years she must have accounted for a hundred or 2 that I witnessed.
Cats are what cats are.
For sure, he is only outside on the harness/leash and we stop him quite often before it gets to stuff he shouldn't. Most days he gets 2-4 hours of supervised play outside. We go on walks, to parks, pet stores etc. When we come in from outside we then usually play with his toys in the house as he wants to catch stuff and feels better after he does(and gets in some crazy running, jumping and attacking).

Over here we have lots of magpies (birds) who tend to team up against a cat when the cat ventures too close to a nest. Nothing else for the cat to do other than seeking shelter.

Say hello to Harley a 6 week old grey tiger. Sorry for the blurry pix. Harley won't stay still long enough to get a good picture. I was not allowed pets at my old place but now that my new lab is set up it's time for a lab cat. He's very friendly and loves people. And very curious.

At sunset I collect my cats, they have their wetfood and stay at home till the morning. They have their places and collecting is a fun job. Since last month Billy was not at his usual place and did not react to calling. After an hour or so he would show up. He also stayed away for a night. I experienced this once before with a cat of mine and in the end he disappeared completely. He was chipped.
This looked like the vanishing point again. What to do?
I chose a Samsung smarttag. GPS trackers are on the big side and battery life is short.
So, I could follow the cat if every now and then a Samsung user passes by. So I checked my phone and found out Billy was near the exit and entry of an exit of the motorway 350 meters away. He had to cross that. Shocking at least. Tried a couple days of house arrest, but the hard headed animals that they are, that place was the first he'd go to.
That's life, at least I saw him coming home today on the mobile in time for dinner.
Edit: sorry for the rotated picture, forum rotates it to landscape. Fixed.

I used to let Fonsi stay outside till ~10pm or so, but lately I wont let him out after 8-9pm.
He was usualy back home at ~10pm but sometimes way late, like midnight or even 3am! That was too much for wife. :)

Update on Samsung Smarttag experience.
After Billy's next to an exit off the highway adventures, which were nervewrecking, he changed his plans. He left home and went completely off the radar. There was a vague signal sometimes, that is Fase 1 BLE, tag detected, not connected, fluctuating Then he left home and stayed away for 36 hours. Not funny. Anyway far from cars with Samsung mobiles.
The big flower wholesale auction business in my backyard has a completely gated off terrain for their flower transport trains, also metal. Faraday's cage. Found him there rather quickly. He was very glad to see me. But he still didn't come home. In the evening went there with the transport box and took him home.
He is taking his house arrest as a good sport, we can sleep again.
Edit: again rotated picture. Will study this later. Fixed it thanks to BU508A. It's in the EXIF data.

It becomes twice as funny when you realize the cat probably understood the crux of the question, "you" and "cat". :popcorn:

I've read that cats think of themselves as cats, of course. But they also think of their owners as cats.

It's much funkier than that. They obviously can tell the difference between a human, a cat, and a dog; but they don't seem to grasp the difference in behaviour. Research does also indicate they do understand many human words, just don't care.
A good example is BilliSpeaks on Youtube: She seems to understand pretty complex human concepts and even "soon" and "later" (and coffee = "catnip water"), but I don't think she can tell the difference between "play" and "hunt". I don't think any cat can.
To me, it indicates cats' model of "self" and "other" is quite different to those of humans, monkeys, and some birds (see mirror neuron (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_neuron)). It also makes a lot of sense for it to differ, as most of the domestic cats' social behaviour, including cat colony behaviours, has evolved in interaction with humans, i.e. during "domestication".
-
I've been watching BilliSpeaks since you mentioned it last year. Her apparent overloading of the 'Squirrel' button with both the abstract animal and a nickname for a human friend was particularly fascinating. Months later she pressed 'Cuddle' with 'Squirrel', which seemed to indicate that the concept was firmly established in her mind (one doesn't cuddle a prey animal). I do wonder how much of it is editing, anthropomorphising or the 'Clever Hans' effect though.
My cat has a particular dislike of mirrors. There's one mirror in the house hanging on a wall between two windows. He will often sit on the dressing table in front and stare into it. He'll look at my reflection and then turn around and look at me, clearly annoyed (ears back, tail flicking, irritated yawn). There can't be another room behind that 'window' (it would be hanging in space above the driveway) and how am I in two places at once? Troubling stuff. I did once take the mirror down to show him the other side, but it didn't seem to help. He's one of the most intelligent cats that we've owned, but there definitely are hardware limits.

There is a nice little book by John Gray:

The latest addition to our feline family :-+ Meet BeeJay.
This adorable little fella is 17 weeks old and was found at age 6 weeks in a rubbish skip with his brother and sister. They were left to die by some poor excuse for a human being but were thankfully discovered and rescued when the skip was collected. All are now healthy and happy. My wife and I saw his picture at the same moment on a local cat Rescue Facebook post whilst in different rooms and we both headed to the other to show the picture. Without planning or discussion we both knew we had to adopt this bundle of joy. And yes, he is as adorable in character as he is in appearance. He is keeping me busy as he has his own room and I am with him 24/7 to provide all the company, love and support that he needs whilst he settles in to his new forever loving home.

No photo, but a dire(?) story for cat lovers. I cooked a full chicken for the first time in over a decade, for that simple fact alone.
As I hate picking chicken off the bone, this quickly turned into 2 badly carved breasts and a large remains.
I went to put the carcass in the bin, but decided to put it down for the cat.... under careful supervision!
She would not go near it. If I broke bits of skin or meat off she would eat them, but she would not eat off the carcass. In fact she stared at me in wonder and disbelief when I showed her there was meat. A face of "No! You lie!"
The reason and the point, when she was young, like last year, she ate some "nice person's" left over turkey... roasted brittle bones and all. Which shattered inside her and ... didn't come out without a fight... and blood and destroyed carpets.
That is why she won't go near it. If I want her to have the scrapes she will want me to pick it off the bone for her.
So... I did. An ape picking meat off the bone to feed to a cat. How nature is so upside down sometimes.
Anyway. Thought I'd share.
Don't feed cats cooked bones without supervision... or at all. I shouldn't have tempted her and maybe her disbelief was that I would offer her it at all.
-
I thought it was dogs that just crunch them up and die of the splinters. Our cats never try to eat the bones themselves, they clean all the meat off and leave the bones.

Good question, it's a boy. We were hoping to find a female because they have less problems with their plumbing later in life, but the shelters were overflowing and desperate to house some of them, and this guy chose us :-).
If he was more tiger-striped there's a good chance he would have ended up being called Hobbes.

Victor (a name for the nameless kitty, that is)

We decided on Eddie. At the shelter they'd given him a temporary name of Prince but that felt a bit dangerous, cats already think they're royalty and this would just reinforce that. After trying (Prince) George, (Prince) Edward, and a few others we went for Edward -> Eddie. He settled in pretty quickly.

Eddie is a great name and two syllables is ideal if you want him to know his name well.

Plus he was the smart royalty, who wanted to change his entire life, and did so.

"What? Why no amazon man come with my food hooman?"
-
No photo, but.... a shout out to my cat for her kindness and mammalian understanding, acceptance and support.
People far more superstitious than I say that animals "understand us". I feel it is partly true and I think so do cats.
We share a mammalian brain. We share stress responses. We share our amygdala. We share those indicators.
Angel's response to this was ... on several occasions well before I noticed I was stressing out, was to present herself for attention. Forcefully. I moved keyboards out of the way, I moved laptops to give her space on the desk, but no. That was not what she wanted. She wanted me to pay attention to her. "You look sad hooman. You don't look sad when you play with me. Play with me hooman, I want happy hooman."
She doesn't take no for an answer.
Whlie cats can be detremental to your mental health on in many ways, if you are stressed enough that a cat can pick up your mammilian hormones and indicators, they can be so... supportive.
They can also be extremely aggressive with their affection.
A dog will always do this.
A cat. You earn it. You should feel proud, rewarded and happy. Cat's know this.
Dumb as planks, but oddly right about so, so many things. This is why we love out cats. No?
EDIT: If the cat "shits a brick" and legs it, I pay attention. Usually it's the window cleaner, but I trust her it's not nothing. I just hate it when she looks over my shoulder at something that isn't there. There are not ghosts and there is nothing on my shoulder or behind me! I think she does it deliberately.
-

Are you sure? I'm not a believer in other dimensions but every one of my three cats exhibit this behavior regularly. You would swear they see something where I see nothing special. Then another thing is that every now and then, while searching thoroughly, I fail to find a cat, only for it to appear a moment later with a face like: what? Probably just back from a fold in the Space-time continuum that they can see but I can't.

That's exactly why I like to let cats and dogs sniff the inside of my bare forearm. As it is normally covered by clothing, it tends to have less external scents on it. When a human has body language, scent, and tone of voice all in sync, cats and dogs seem to understand, and tend to relax. I like to try and strive for this. (It's also why I like to tell people to give their cats and dogs their old shirts or towels for comfort. Some dogs really like the scent of feet, thus socks.)
I just hate it when she looks over my shoulder at something that isn't there.
Their vision extends to the ultraviolet compared to humans, so there easily can be a mark on the wall that catches their attention, but isn't visible to us humans.
As to doing it on purpose: absolutely!

I got stuck on the first line. I had 9 + 9 + 9 = 27 not 30 ... wha? Something is very wrong here! :-DD

Wow, beautiful cat and beautiful picture. Pity the leash is visible, but still...

Boomer agrees! I don't think he is a fan of the leash but since we've used it starting when he was 3 months old it is all he knows and doesn't slow him down. He loves his trips to the park and still gets to climb trees, cross creeks etc. And 95% of the time knows to retrace his path to get back to us.

Found some stray/abandoned kittens on the driveway. Around 3 weeks old.
Had to bottle feed them for a week or so.
Very friendly, the other kittens I've rescued around here have all been older and harder to tame.
But these ones were young enough to be tame from day 1.
Grey one is the cutest.

The Minx diaries
Sorry, it's been a while since I checked in but as some things seem to have changed I thought I'd better bring you up to date.
Daddy had been rushing around getting this weird bag called a pack sorted and stuffing all manner of hunting gear into it....and I don't like guns. :scared:
Then he was gone, and for days then next I know so was mom :o and I had to suffer that grandma staying each night to feed my dog Fly and of course yours truly also.
Trouble was that Fly was gone everyday too and I had no one to torment but came up with a cunning plan make myself scarce and to wait until the lights went out then yowl loudly at the door to be let in for dinner. >:D
I got them reasonably well trained to not know when I would grace them with my company so to have that grandma and Fly on edge wondering where I was. Tucker was always in my bowl and that's all that mattered. ^-^
It seemed today that grandma and pa had a visitor as I heard my dog Fly announce their arrival and as little was happening around here I thought I'd go for the 200m walk to check things out where my dog Fly was seemingly spending her days.
After sneaking there they came home on that 4 wheel horse with Fly and upon hearing that grandma's voice I thought it was best to announce my presence.
Oh did they make a fuss however I was more focussed on chasing my dog Fly and didn't notice that grandma pop inside and return with a plate filled with a delightful treat.

Tin of Tuna I heard them mention as I scoffed it down and cleaned the plate like never before. Yum !
Then before I knew it I was lured out the rear garden gate and back towards home but now with a full belly requiring a rest halfway home and a belly stroke from that grandad, rewarded with a purr.
Soon we were back at the sheds very near home after a short interlude while my dog Fly had another of her swims in a cattle water trough. ::)

As it was too early to disturb that grandma's rest I waltzed straight inside when that grandad opened the door and directly to the tucker bowl to check if there was any decent offerings and low and behold a sachet of fish bits in jelly appeared so I tucked into that too to wash down the taste of that stuff they called Tuna.
I can feel a very contented snooze coming on....
Later all.

Pay attention to the cathode mark at his tail.
Unfortunately, he lost his tail in a car accident...

First up is a cat called Cathode; she emitted cries all the way home in the car from the cat sanctuary. Note the strategic positioning to absorb as much heat as she can take from a pair of hot output valves. Next up is her sister Anode - a very intelligent cat who lasted almost seventeen years. Next, they're asleep together as kittens. Next was when they arrived, very nervous and frightened. Finally is Guiness, who liked the sound cardboard made as it was bitten through. Sadly, she was run over when quite young, so we buried her in that box.
I don't have a picture of my present cat (Heidi), despite her being a Technocat and allowed in the lab, where she likes to walk over keyboards and rotate the screen by 90 degrees (done it three times so far). Her daughter Binx is a good hunter and as a kitten could leap five foot vertically to snatch a bird from the bird feeder. We extended the feeder another foot and she couldn't quite reach. Since then, Binx has dragged three pigeons through the cat flap, two alive and unhappy.

We are very lucky to have an amazing area a 2 minute drive from home. There is a nice creek and a full path that people walk and bike. We usually go down the path for a bit and then move off into the bush a little more where Boomer can have more fun and it is close to private. He really likes to cross the creek. The colors and look of the area are even better in person.

A lesser trained eye (than a human) would not see that at all. Not even it was facing them and listening to their last breath for 10 ft away.

That is one handsome and beautifully camouflaged cat. 8)
