Dusty Chalk Posted December 27, 2008 Report Posted December 27, 2008 I don't know squat about Roman politics, so I'd probably call him Bert Mustard.
Smeggy Posted December 28, 2008 Report Posted December 28, 2008 AAAAAAARGH!! Evil devil cat from hell!! Oh wait, that's my cat.... Nice kitty
Chekhonte Posted December 29, 2008 Author Report Posted December 29, 2008 as for a name my friend that's getting her MA in classics gave me a list of name components and I like Hades Vir Dulcissimus, which means the sweetest ruler of the underworld which he is.
guzziguy Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 While he is young and has no health problems, you might want to consider looking into getting health insurance for him. In now two separate bouts with serious illnesses, we have about $8K in vet bills into one of our cats. We love him and will pay it, but it would have been nice to have. Of course, it probably would have been canceled after the first episode 7 years ago.

Of course, it probably would have been canceled after the first episode 7 years ago. Thanks for the advice, I am going to get health insurance in the next couple of weeks. There is a vet near my house that loves Rex breeds and said she'd work something out with me if he came down with a serious health problem. She said that the breed itself has to genetic health problems except a curling of the eyelid that can cause serious eye infections but that is obvious at birth.
catscratch Posted December 30, 2008 Report Posted December 30, 2008 That's pretty damn ugly IMO (I thought I'd try honesty rather than sweet cooing noises here), but if he really has a great personality then it shouldn't matter. Friendly, outgoing cats are rare but are absolutely amazing when you can find one. A friend of mine has a Maine Coon that's very dog-like in its personality, if anything, and is one seriously awesome bit of kitty. Friendly, affectionate, and very smart. If your cat's anything like that, then I can see why you couldn't turn him down. I probably wouldn't be able to, either.
poo Posted January 1, 2009 Report Posted January 1, 2009 Yeah awesome cat for sure man - looks like he's been to Fight Club waaaaay too many times... in a good way
Chekhonte Posted January 22, 2009 Author Report Posted January 22, 2009 For all you Deadwood fans, my girlfriend and I started calling him Swigin after how Woo pronounced Al Swearengen's name. We think it really fits him.
Dusty Chalk Posted January 22, 2009 Report Posted January 22, 2009 Awesome. I loved Deadwood. And Woo. And Swearengen.
Dash Posted January 23, 2009 Report Posted January 23, 2009 I am not a cat person, so maybe that he is not typical in his person is why I like him. Very cool. Gratz on the new name and even better yet, a new friend.
Chekhonte Posted January 23, 2009 Author Report Posted January 23, 2009 wow, that is a great deal on the deadwood box set. I wish I could spend the money. I might be able to convince me girlfriend to get it though--she's a bigger deadwood fan than I am.
Dash Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 EDIT I am not a cat person, so maybe that he is not typical in his appearance is why I like him. Very cool. Gratz on the new name and even better yet, a new friend.
digger945 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Ugliest cat I ever seen. Looks like he already used up 8 lives.
Chekhonte Posted January 24, 2009 Author Report Posted January 24, 2009 nice 3rd post, i hope you get turned into a vampire and have to live off of Condoleezza Rice's used tampons.
NightWoundsTime Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 In sad kitty news, mine has gone away. She was a nice feral cat who adopted me and took my food but refused to become an indoor cat. I got her fixed and shotted about a year ago, and the vet hooked me up with a microchip. I haven't seen her since last Friday. It's been below freezing the last two nights so I've been watching for her pretty closely. I hope someone else in the 'hood took her in, but none of the immediate neighbors have seen her either. There's a nice bit of empty jungle behind my house and I never saw her wander beyond that, or out toward the road. If she had by some chance ended up at a shelter they would have found the chip. I still haven't ruled out the possibility of her showing up on my porch again like nothing happened. She just hasn't ever been gone this long and the deep freeze can't bode well.
pabbi1 Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 My old guy (the cat I let outside) was gone for a week once - I called the city asking for roadkill report, dragged the city shelter, called the no-kills, and walked the 'hood for a week. Just as I was resigned that he was gone (we also have coyotes and bobcats locally), a neighbor called that someone down the street had a cat that had been trapped in their patio (8' brick enclosed) for a week... doh. Don't give up just yet...
Smeggy Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Man, that sucks. I hope she turns up safe and sound. They're pretty resilient so I'm keeping my fingers crossed too.
boomana Posted January 24, 2009 Report Posted January 24, 2009 Matt, Redneck Porch Kitty is a cool little cat. Hope she returns safely and soon.
