Fizz, RIP, passed Sept 4th 2010. Photo taken with a Motorola Pebble Mobile phone so not the best quality, but such a brilliant pose. Dearly missed but greatly loved.


Guys, if you don't like cats, don't read this thread!

wow nice cats people,

I dont have any pets since i live in an apartment and it would be cruel to the animal...but i have a little story.

when I was about 4 we lived in a triplex on the top floor and I used to hang around the fire escape in the back alley during this particular summer I noticed a group of older boys and payed some attention to what these older kids were doing. I couldnt believe my eyes and ears, they were sticking fire crackers in the butts of the cats. I became terrified at the thought and ran away. couple days later I saw a cat alone in the alley and picked him up, all I could think is if I let this cat go he might fall into the hands of those mean bullies. So I took the cat home, by the end of the month we had about 9 cats in the place. Now over 3 decades later I cant remember all the cats names or what we end up doing with them but cats were a big part of my life after that.

Eryck - I salute you! Whilst I understand that not everyone likes cats/dogs etc, why oh why is there the pathetic need to inflict harm? I'd do the same to them, I'm sorry. I know that it's not right, an eye for an eye, but some folk are complete scum. Hope that the cats had happy lives due to your kind actions.

it was a little overwhelming, I remember kittens being born under the bathtub (can you believe they used to make bath tubs with legs) it was pretty grose , mom made me clean it up since i had to learn responsibility. but they kept me company, cats were part of my wardobe in those years. when it became too much because of cost and space we gave a good share to the SPCA some went to grandpas farm and some to a few friends. We moved that summer and I remember the new place did not have 9 cats.

Why are people cruel? I dont know, whther is from depression or anger its definatly an illness.

one of my favorite movies is Disneys the Aristocats.

That makes no sense to me either. When we got Jet from the SPCA I noticed that she had scars on both of her hind legs and a scar around her neck from a string or something when she was growing up. I was at an auction and saw a horse whose nose and jaw were dented from a halter when it was growing up.

I love the kitty in the sink!!

I love the last one!!

That's our Missi (short for Mischief). The first was with our late Sassy but now, at 14, she has our other two Goldens to "mother".

This thread makes me sneeze.

We have all rescued cats- my wife was a "dog person" and I was a "cat person" so when we married we hadtwo dogs, two cats a cockatoo and fish. the dogs and original cats have all passed on due to age so we gathered new cats from the shelter and relatives and the outdoor cats from the neighborhood. My wife is now a self proclaimed "cat person ". Eventually we may have dogs again because we both love goldens but never another cockatoo-we gave her to a friend with another cockatoo so she would have a bird companion.

This is my Eldest daughters cat Maisie

This is Kimmie my youngest daughters cat and one of Maisies kittens

This is one of my favourite photos of Bilbo

A little story: My daughter wanted a guinea pig but we had said no as we knew she wouldnt look after it and it would be down to us to do the cleaning out, so it came to xmas and Renae our eldest the one that wanted a guinea pig so desperately that she bought one as her mums xmas present, we let her keep it after we had stopped laughing at her ingeniuos plan.
Since then we have had a Rabbit called Liquorice yes he was black and got eaten by a fox who broke into his run, several more guinea pigs, endless amounts of hamsters, one got eaten by Pippa dee one of our cats that lived to the ripe old age of 19, about 4/5 cats over the years, A dog called Sherman who got attacked by another dog and unfortunately ran into the road and was run over.
Despite some of the heartache I still think pets are a great source of company and can be so entertaining shown by some of the photos on here, but cats will always remain my favourite as they are such wonderful creatures to watch and photograph.

Our latest adoptee Number Nine is the name and lives on the front porch in his own little custom built house
