My first Caturday!



This is our younger cat, Biggie Smalls, the day we brought her home. She loves to knock shiat off tables, particularly glasses. She'll just push it off, watch it smash and take off running. She also likes mashed potatoes, sleeping on computer keyboards, and climbing on Mount Zerochance.



Aaaaaand this is Fancy. Our Persian. She is as mean as she looks. Moody as hell. She'll piss on things that we really, really care about if we so much as get litter she doesn't like. She also only drinks water from the faucet, and will yell at you until you comply. We love her just the way she is.

Ichi the Fat Kitten tells me I can't post any pictures. So thanks for yours.

What a great cat. I am glad you shared pics with us.

Farkers, I need your help!

One of my neighbors recently passed away leaving behind two cats. One is an indoor tabby. I think she's about 10 years old. She's kind of small for an adult, but she is very active, talkative and affectionate.

The other is a feral cat that my neighbor would feed. She's a loner and runs from people...usually. Now that she doesn't have a steady food source she lets me approach to feed her, but not pet her. I don't think she can fend for herself. She's white and has one green eye and one blue.

If there is anyone in or around the St. Louis area, I would really appreciate any help. My house is already full of pets and all the shelters we've tried say they're at capacity. If you're interested, my email is in my profile.

/I hope this plea doesn't get lost in all the lolcats.
//maybe I should make a lolcat of the kitties in need.
///lolcat!

Fancy is hillarious. She looks like an angry owl.

Zero Exponent: Some of the regulars here may remember Toby, the orange tabby who lives in the hospital I work at.

Toby used to stay with Ruth, in her room on the pallative care unit. Unfortunately Ruth died in 2010. RIP Ruth.

Fortunately for Toby, he was allowed to continue staying at the hospital (and even in the same room thanks to the kind resident who moved in after Ruth's passing) because the PCM (patient care manager, basically the boss of the unit) paid out of her own pocket for his cat litter, food, and vet costs.

That PCM is no longer working on that unit, and the new boss does not want to keep the cat. Apparently some asshat staff have complained about having to clean the cat litter and stuff.

I can't take in another cat at this time, so I thought I would ask the good folk of caturday if they can help out a cat in need of a home.

Toby is really friendly and gentle. His favorite thing to do is sit in your lap and rub his head on you as you pet him. If anyone is interested in saving this guy from a trip to the humane society, my email is one.big.voice on that mail service with a G. I'm in Winnipeg, Canada--but would be willing to pay up to $100 to ship him somewhere if that helps.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm posting ALL my Toby pictures. One left ...

He doesn't really need a wheelchair to get around, he is a very healthy cat as far as I can tell. According to my supervisor, who has been there longer and is an animal lover like me, Toby is about six years old--so he still has a lot of love to give! Please help if you can and thanks for rea ...

Contact your local news media. They would eat this up and in the process probably find him a new home. Maybe even in a setting where he could provide additional therapy to ill or aging patients... which I am assuming is what he has been doing previously.

Many hugs and much love to those who have lost friends. Kitties do so much for us just by being there. It is hard to adjust when they are gone. Take it one day at a time.

tigerose: MoreOnLessOff have you tried putting up posters at your local vet? I take it your neighbor lady didn't have kin who wanted the kitteh? So sad. Maybe domari can help with contacts for no kill shelters.

No luck with the vets either. None of her family is interested in having a pet. It's sad, the indoor is such a sweetheart. She's lived with other cats and dogs before, so I think she'd eventually get used to other pets.

long time lurker, don't post much, but I do love youse guys!

so enjoy this, I hope it embiggens properly. We'll see.

lysdexic: National popcorn day? I skip the butter and pop it in bacon grease. MMMMMMMMM

Wow - this may be the most brilliant thing I"ve ever heard. Must try it...

skipping ahead to the threads end just to post really quick this morning. catching up on all the events of the past two weeks has stirred up lots of dust. i feel terribly sorry for alien and her loss, i do hope she can hang in tight. and condolences for any other kitties who have crossed over. i'll have to play catch up later while i'm offline at home.
but on a brighter note! i have a home again. the landlords had gotten the old handy man to take the water heater and some pipes as his last paycheck so he knew he had to scoot in before the bank turned their attention to the building and the residents still living there. so we had no heat or water for three days before we found a place to live. the city had no pity for us, they said go to the shelter. i said with two cats? they said find a friend to put you up. we got slightly warmer beds but the poor cats still had to make do with the space heater and each other. we all had to live in the bedroom just for heat and the boys slept at the foot of the bed in a ball, the floor was freezing! we took the first place we could get and were lucky that it's nice and clean and warm. this landlord knows what he is doing and isn't taking tropical vacations just before declaring bankruptcy. the only downside is now i have to trudge up to the third floor instead of the second.
and cats!



jake was chasing a toy and his tail was huge for no reason.
and the grrr note. i think marriage knives should be legal. just saying...

here's a couple of cute lil furkins for your macroing pleasure! my creative juice is still in the orange. go for it!

Longtime lurker, first time poster in Caturday thread.

This is my pretty girl Dicey, who has brought me love and comfort for 11 and 1/2 years. She was the first cat I got as an adult and I've adored her. In an hour, I'm going to have to take her to the rainbow bridge and let her cross over. The first week of December, she was diagnosed with GI Lymphoma. She responded to treatment really well but last week it cam back with a vengance and she's dropped down to 5 pounds and I can tell she's getting very little enjoyment out of life.

She's been an indoor kitty who loved to sneak outside whenever possible. I'm going to let her take a final exploration of the yard and the take her to the vet. I only wish that it was spring and she could enjoy the green grass one last time.

Well that failed. I guess you have to come out with "posting cat pictures for Super Dummies."

Haven't read the book or seen the movie. Guess I need to do so, now.

CrankyAndi: Thankfully, at this time, there is nothing horribly embarrassing in the photo.

Here's Maxim and Jenka, maintaining a fragile peace. (We adopted Jenka last Saturday) Hard to believe there's only two months' difference in age between them. Jenka's the little 4 lb purr generator on the lower ledge. Maxim's the 11 lb siamese/black panther holding her in contempt.

Goot times!

I use photobucket. It is really easy to use. Then you just use their direct link for the pic and use the image button on fark comments to get the html to paste your image link in. Hope this helps. I suck at this kind of thing. :3

predle: I don't think you can post from facebook.

All my pics are hosted on facebook. You have to right click on the embiggened image and "copy image location," then paste that into the space between the quotation marks that comes up when you click the button with mountains.

Ta Da. Please change my status from Super Dummy to Dummy. And thanks to the Caturday Facebook gang for the caption.
This is Roger, my guard cat. Stay off my lawn!
