CAT LOVERS SITE

Archive for the ‘Cat Pictures’ Category

This is a tough one! I actually had to go to an online dictionary to find a definition for foreign that I could work with, and I came up with:  Not natural; alien

OK, so here is my take on the subject: I like everything to be in it’s proper place, nicely decorated and harmonious.  So I really do prefer living room furniture and accessories in my living room.   Therefore, car parts, tools, greasy rags, greasy old car parts, greasy tools, and, did I mention CAR PARTS are FOREIGN OBJECTS in my living room. Definitely alien to my decor. Not at all natural to my living space.

Unlike me, Taco LOVES foreign objects, he immediately claims them as his own:

This cat can sleep on anything!

You may be curious about why these foreign objects appear in my living room (me too).  My most awesome and amazing (one of many) 19 year-old son is going to school to be an auto technician, and he does quite a few repairs out in the driveway (this drives the wicked witch into severe fits of agitation) and inevitably the car stuff gets tossed in the living room for a few hours days weeks.  On the bright side,  I get car repairs done for cheap…so I try to be patient…grease and all…*sigh*

I stretch daily, and Mango usually accompanies me.  My goal is to stretch 3 times daily, but I usually only get around  to 2 times.  

Mango looks forward to our daily stretching routine much more than I do!

Our cuddly friend, Mariah, poses with our cuddly cats. 

This is easy!  I have cats!

CRIME SCENE NUMBER 1: The case of the Broken Spice Jar location: kitchen time:Feb.7,2010 between 7 AM and noon, the evidence:

CRIME SCENE NUMBER 2: The case of Who Has Broken Into The Catnip? location: kitchen (everywhere) time: Feb3-4 11PM to midnight, the scene:

THE SUSPECTS:

Sumari:so cute and innocent

Mango:so fluffy and possibly innocent

Bella...partner in crime?

A Lifetime Of Crime: Purrs his way out of trouble every time

My guess is on the grey one for both incidents, but he’ll never admit guilt and the others are keeping mum.  Especially in the catnip incident in which they all took part in the spoils.

A Tale of Tails, or more aptly, a Tale of the Average Length of the Tails.

The teensiest little Cat Tail is owned by Sumari, the Itty Bitty Kitty:

The Sumari Tail is 24 cm in length.  It also flicks incessantly, so who knows how accurate this measurement is.

The next smallest tail is the Mango Tail: 

This Tail is 26 cm in length, and quite fluffy, so fluffy in fact that the last few cm are absolute fluff.  Next up is the Great Grey Tail at 27 cm, belonging to the Famous Taco Cat : 

And finally, the tail of Queen Bella herself a whooping 32 cm: 

24+26+27+32=109 cm of tail!  Divided by 4, equals 27.25 the AVERAGE tail length of our four fabulous felines!

Bella, a somewhat spotted cat, is spotted spotting an intruder.

All of our photos relating to cats being balanced are of Sumari.  This is because little kitten-sized Sumari is a natural acrobat.  Here, she has just walked up the railing to the second floor porch, instead of using the stairs.

Here she is balanced on the third floor roof!

She seems to like balancing on the narrow dowels of the clothes-drying rack

Sumari balanced for a treat!

Taco has a jiggly “pudge-pouch” that really wiggles and jiggles when he runs,

Here is a close-up:

Mango has a smaller, less jiggly pudge-pouch:

Bella’s pudge-pouch is even smaller and hardly jiggles at all:

And little Sumari  has the teensiest, tiniest little baby pudge-pouch, that only jiggles when she has a wild and crazy bath-taking session:

Mango and Sumari are having a staring contest with the New Kitty:

NO, we are NOT feeding it.  NO, we are not naming it or letting it in the house.  It is clearly someone else’s well-taken-care-of kitty.

I really mean it.  NO food, names or warm house.  Really, absolutely, positively. 

*sigh*

…and she’s here to stay.  We called her ‘Happy Kitty” when she first showed up, but since she is now a permanent resident, she needed a permanent name.

The other cats, even Taco (who can be quite the bully), accepted her without complaint.

See the spots?  I think she is a Bengal Cat, she  also has the long, lanky body shape.
