Mister X Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Shoplifting a kitten pales in comparison to one of the stories I saw on the local news last evening. Cat set on fire survives You may not want to click the link if you are squeamish....
swt61 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 I dream of finding scumbags like that in the process of beginning a crime like that. It would be worth jail time, if a jury so decided.
TheSloth Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Tel Aviv is a city overrun with cats, but most people are rather fond of them. Cat food all over the place, and usually a small pile of (living) cat underneath or lying on top of every car. Here are two pics of my favourite local, who never hesitates to say hello to me, and sometimes even comes with for a little walk... And one micro cat
Chekhonte Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 That's a cool story. I'd love to live in a city with lots of vagrant but friendly cats.
swt61 Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 The island I live on has tons of stray cats. At around 5:00 you can drive around and watch all the businesses and private citizens putting out cat food. I feed about 5-10 cats myself. They keep the snakes away, and they're safe from coyotes inside my fence.
TheSloth Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 Our cats are a lasting gift from the completely failed attempt by the British to control the rat population. There were originally lots of rats. Now there are lots of rats and lots of cats.
HeadphoneAddict Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 I just donated $20 towards medical care for "Hadley the burned cat" at their local Humane Society's website. The Humane Society of Kent County | Make a Donation
Chekhonte Posted July 10, 2009 Report Posted July 10, 2009 great link, i just donated 20 bucks as well. For every person that donates I won't pee in the sink.
Dusty Chalk Posted July 10, 2009 Author Report Posted July 10, 2009 I'm not much for cats but a girl that works for me is breeding them and two were born about 10 days ago. Those are the cutest things ever. My kitty (yes, I already think of him as mine) was touch and go for a while -- she had found a local recipient, but then changed her mine mind. My cat was touch and go for a while -- she was acting constipated (left as an exercise for the reader to determine what, exactly, I mean by that). She's all better nao.
swt61 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 They're gorgeous! I've never seen Orange kittens without tabby stripes.
Hopstretch Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 great link, i just donated 20 bucks as well. For every person that donates I won't pee in the sink. Good enough motivation for me!
strid3r Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 That is such an awesome coat. Here are our 2 cats: Chillin: Nap time:
spritzer Posted July 11, 2009 Report Posted July 11, 2009 They're gorgeous! I've never seen Orange kittens without tabby stripes. They are Abyssinian so no stripes. Just got word that one of them is named after me.

Genetic Posted August 12, 2009 Report Posted August 12, 2009 Sieg Heil. LOL...Not realy my first choice since he's still waiting for an official name (his current file at the vet office is ''Minou masqu
Dusty Chalk Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 Cha-cha would make a great cat's name.
Genetic Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Cha-cha would make a great cat's name. No doubt about it unless you live in a French location/culture. In that case ''Cha-cha'' would be exactly the same as if you called a pet ''Cat-cat'' in an English location.... Amicalement P.S. Currently we have 3 names left on the final list: Gropius (thinking of Walter) Picasso Merlin
Dusty Chalk Posted August 13, 2009 Author Report Posted August 13, 2009 So I just did an "Engrish" in French? But "Cha-cha" is easier to say...
Genetic Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 But "Cha-cha" is easier to say... Maybe but I tested it with our little friend and look what reaction I got from the use of ''Cha-cha'' name*.... Amicalement * In fact all other 3 names got a similar reaction...
guzziguy Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 No doubt about it unless you live in a French location/culture. In that case ''Cha-cha'' would be exactly the same as if you called a pet ''Cat-cat'' in an English location.... We have a Sun Conure whose official name is Sunny. However, we just call him "Bird-bird" now. Also, "Cha-cha" in English is pronounced with a hard "ch" sound, so it sounds a lot different than "Chat-chat" (soft ch) does. Amicalement P.S. Currently we have 3 names left on the final list: Gropius (thinking of Walter) Picasso Merlin What? You're not going to even consider "Adolf"?
Genetic Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Oups!!! This is the original pic in the post number 67...(Got a bit too much distracted cleaning on Photobucket. Sorry about that...) Amicalement
