The other day I was sitting on the couch with my big girl, Bailey, Shar Pei laying next to me. I realized that the new Pei, Beau, was not in his usually spot on the chaise, or on the floor or on the bed, and I began to panic. Where did he go??? I got up and there he was, perched on top of the back of the couch, snoozing life away...Gotta love the fur babies...

My mom was doing some work at my house while I was at the office one day, and she realized that she hadn't seen the "lazy" cat (Skunk, behind the bike above) in several hours despite searching my entire house. She knew the cat hadn't gotten out but was terrified that the cat had eaten some of the paint she was using and was sick or dead somewhere.

Well, Skunk is good at hiding. And sleeping. And if I'm not home, she has to be protected on at least 3 sides to take a nap (probably because she came from a cat colony and lived outside for several years...and also because when she sleeps, she's out cold). It turned out that she had gotten inside a box stored under my bed and didn't want to come out until she knew I was back. Poor Mom.

Oh that is too cute!

This is Tigger, my last cat. He was an HIV kitty who I had taken from a friend as a favor. I had always been able to deal with my allergies for cats, but it had been some years since my last cat and apparently my allergies got worse. After two trips to the ER for asthma attacks, and no relief from the usual allergy remedies/drugs, I found him another home where he got another HIV+ playmate to live/play/fight with. They didn't even fight but started playing immediately, I think they were both lonely kitties and needed another cat around.

I miss him, and I miss having a cat around. No other kind of pet seems to compare with having a cat or two. As you can see, he was a bibliofeline and could not resist laying on whatever book I happened to be reading at the time

[NoNo]

Bibliofeline! I think I'm familiar with that breed.



I'm always a fan of just how comfortable she gets, as if she's had such an exhausting day and really needs to unwind.

LOL - these pictures made me break out in laughter - thanks for posting them!

Cat's know how to live!

Here's what Tari looks like today, from x-ray to pig-like blob, to tall lanky puppy at 8 weeks.



(and look at my avatar, tall lanky purebred IG looks like my stubby chubby mutt, LOL)

[badger]

Awwww. This had me choked up. Tigger is one handsome cat, and I'm so touched that you took him in and that he's now living with another HIV kitty. I'm so sorry about your allergies. That's tough. Can you be around them at all? You're welcome to come watch the Izzy and Henry Show anytime. It's quite entertaining. We can bribe Brian to tune up your bike while we play with the critters.

I can certainly be around them - and if I did not have carpet I could have kept Sir Tigger the Intrepid...the problem is apartments with hardwood floors are very hard to find and are typically in places that I either can't afford or do not wish to live Carpet cleaning/so forth just doesn't seem to take care of things - or at least not enough.

I would love to come and watch the Izzy and Harry Show, and if it would help to bribe Brian I can bring some home-made fudge with me. I can't eat it but that doesn't stop me from making it

Anyone have a bulldog? This one's pretty cute (not mine, filched off the internet):

I have this itch right between my shoulderblades, have all day long. I've been sitting in my office wondering if I know any coworker well enough to get him/her to scratch my back. Now I understand all I need to do is find a hill and shimmy down it!
Love bulldogs.
