Ladies, do you have pets? Or do pets have you?

[Catmom]

I have seven cats. Most everyone I know thinks I'm crazy. Except my husband, because he has seven cats too, LOL.


Here's the only picture I have of all seven of them together -



The three orange cats are the oldest, and they're litter mates. We got them at the same time.

A year later we got two singletons, and a month after that we got two litter mates.

I think that's enough

And Azamet has a new baby brother I was waiting on a snow bengal one that would have blue eyes as it's not often that my breed gets one in her breedings.. Got the call from my breeder she was pretty sure she would get at least one in a breeding she had done.. So I said yes.. there was a perfect little boy born Meet Aslan what a little lover and a perfect match with Azamet...

Is Macchiato a porcupine? That's new and different!

Love the kitties -- since finally being able to have one myself, I've discovered a love for all things feline -- that Wooter is adorable!!! Looks like mischief on 4 legs!

Andria

Macchiato is a Pygmy Hedgehog. She is pretty special, usually the main topic of conversation when people hear we have her. If you're a night owl looking for a quiet but sweet pet a hedgehog might be a good choice

Wooter is another special one. We bottle raised her. The Mr was out on a smoke break at work and heard her crying her baby kitten lungs out. He found her in a bush with her after birth still attached and everything so we had to take her in! Bottle raising her was nice preparation for our human daughter who arrived one year later. We are certain Wooter has some neurological issues. She's very temperamental. Easily provoked to over stimulation and she tried to chew off her own tail around 10 years ago. So, she's an honorary Japanese Bob Tail Thankfully the past few years she has mellowed out a ton and we've been able to avoid medicating her.

Tai-Grr is the true mischief maker. He opens cupboards and doors, knocks over trash cans, and is more talkative than a 4 year old on a sugar high!

Aurora is the sweetest softest cat you'll ever meet. Sadly her fur gets matted up so easily, so we need to take her in for another shave down. Just as well though, it will be warming up here again soon and she will be much happier with shorter fur for the spring and summer. When her fur isn't bothering her she is the biggest cuddle bug around. She will hop on anyone's lap and purr and knead her huge paws until someone falls asleep!

We inherited Duke from my Mother In Law, who passed away recently. He was her Service Dog, and since The Mr is eligible for a service dog he and Duke are now a team. But he is also a very loved and much spoiled pet!

CloudyKitty I have caucasian ovcharka they are a livestock guardian breed..
Everyone knows Arkadas (Arka)

[PatriciafromCO]

I love this thread already

My beasties have me for sure....they're quite the spoiled ones. Two are from the street, and one from the pound. But i *only* have the 3 dogs....

though their friends sometimes come over to play....and then it does get a little zoo-like

(( Beware of Dog) lol which one ??? love love your crew......

 

[AndriaD]

I just have one very special cat -- she's special because she was abandoned, and so starved when she turned up on our carport, she was nothing but bones covered with scraggly fur, and barely strong enough to even mew, just covered in fleas. She was so pitiful my son adopted her on the spot, despite that I've been severely allergic to cats my entire life. I could maybe say no to a starving kitten... but never to my own flesh and blood with that puppy-dog look in his eyes. Thank god for Zyrtec!

This is Tuxie stalking moths in my flower garden...

And this is Her Majesty taking her ease, and not pleased to be awoken by the flash...

That was 2 ys ago. She's a good bit fatter now, because my husband spoils her outrageously.

iphone takes such nice pictures... Azamet and Aslan

 

[cloudykitty]

Hello! Thanks for re-opening this! I also saw that there is a Pet Lovers Group too.
Pet Lovers | E-Cigarette Forum

I really do feel like a Zoo Keeper most days. We have 3 cats, 2 Cockatoos (one is an Umbrella 'Too and the other one is a Goffins 'Too), a Hedgehog, 2 freshwater tanks of fish, 1 saltwater tank, a Golden Retriever, and a Partridge in a pear tree!

I'm going to have to come back later to post pics. Looks like they need to be uploaded to a website. I do have some on flickr but can't figure out how to post the image directly.

 

[PatriciafromCO]

yes Abhik Abhya (Ah-bee Ah-Be-yah) means Beloved Fearless one. (Abhik for short). She will be oversized for a female standards and very close if not the same as Arka

Dam:

Sire

really nice breeder in Moscow even with the language barrier she sent an transport escort guy with Abhik all the way to Denver where I picked her up from him. So Abhik always had someone watching over her on that trip.. "nice" huge weight off my shoulder for importing a puppy...

Awww! new fuzzies!

Is Abhik gonna be as big as Arka?

Aslan is beatiful.

Can't wait to see your pictures Cloudkitty!

You can usually right click on any image and select copy image location and then you can come back here and click the little icon of a landscape (between the smiley face and film icons) and it'll put up a box where you can paste the link to the image.

Beautiful animals,Patricia

That looks like a very healthy, happy, and lucky kitty, Andria! She's beautiful

I love those kinds of songbirds, and I hear they make great pets, but I have a very weird phobia of birds in the house, thanks to a truly awful nightmare many years ago -- they kind where you "wake up" but are actually still dreaming? AARGHH!

@cloudykitty -- my ex had a cat that was a rescue from a Milwaukee winter (BRRRR!) and that cat very clearly had some kind of brain damage, it was never "right" in the head, but he was a little love, just gorgeous ginger tabby with the most piercing emerald green eyes. Although my ex and I had been split for years when he died, my ex made sure to call and give me the news, he knew I was very fond of little Tuza, even though I had a lot more trouble with my allergy before they came out with 24-hr antihistamines.

Our Tuxie has never been a "lap kitty," and probably never will be; I think whoever abandoned her must have been very cruel to her; she tolerates us, but anyone with whom she's unfamiliar, she runs away and hides ASAP! When she was a kitten, she'd tolerate our son putting her inside his hoody, but won't tolerate that much physical contact with anyone else -- and you'd need a damn big hoody for her now-20lb-self. My husband can pick her up and turn her on her back, cradling her like a baby, and she'll put up with it for about 1 minute before she's scrambling to get down -- she once let me do that to her, but it took about 15 secs for her to start scrambling. She's very talkative with me, which kinda bugs my husband, she won't meow much with him -- I told him it was a girl thang. And she seemed to second that, by meowing right after I said it.

Dog share::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Been shopping around for a GPS tracking system... I had high hopes to find one that uses an app and cell service.... Haven't seen a solid system.... Chose the Garmin Alpha 100 with the TT15 training collars.. both gps and radio fregency together for those of us who have poor cell service,, You can manually stimulate, vibrate, and tone.. I took out the barbs and will be doing recall home training using tones.. "carry around a jar of peanut butter" to work on short distance recalls all day long here and there while we out and about and in the house... Abhik needs work on the basic... Arka is a happy recall and ready for me to start pairing a tone recall reward on short distance here for short one time training here and there...

you can set geo fences and radius type boundaries that will beep, vibrate, message you when they exit and enter your set boundary areas. you have 9 miles to work with, and you can real time track an escaped dog on the run with status and distance and direction.. you can also activate lights on the collars if it's night time so the dog can be seen easier by you and other people.. it also saves the tracks data, internal on the collar, handset, and you can add a sd card for extra storage...

So it was expensive. but I needed something that would actually work when and how I needed it to work...

so far I have my homestead area geo fenced off in sections and it will tell me when they are leaving one area and which area they are entering and when they are coming back .... even in the metal barn it picks them up and tells me if they into trouble lol lol lol ...or just still sleeping... There is a basecamp software for you computer that you can set up and keep open to track live on a bigger screen then the handheld which you would take with you if you had to go looking for them or retrace their tracks... It works all over the united states if your going on vacation or camping...

will share some pictures of it in action on the base camp as soon as photobucket comes back up... <3

Well, I got some uploaded to my profile. But having a time on how to get them in post. Each forum is different and I am still learning this one. Wow that is a bit big. Anyway this is my La Mancha Buck when a baby Orion.
