Boo! Hiss! The GoGo Beastie was finally in optimal picture taking position, one eye open, one closed, completely unaware I had the dreaded camera in my hand - and it died. (The camera, not my bratty, camera-shy cat) The camera is around 10-12 years old, so I guess I got lucky with it. So today, I am going on the prowl for an inexpensive, yet functional digcam. I see a trip to what is basically the super store of pawn shops in my area. I've picked up some really cool stuff there in the past totally on the cheap.

It really sucks when your stuff starts breaking right when you are unemployed. I am not dipping into my savings for a digcam. I'll go wake up my son and borrow his, so long as he doesn't hover. Our little Go doesn't like him much unless he's playing MMORPGs online, then she's right there, "helping" (read: swatting his character).

Since it is so close to Hallowe'en, here are some critters in costumes, though I forget where I got them originally, so they must be up there in piccy years.

Beautiful pic. As others have said, you can truly see the love. Although some pics that are posted involving any of us (me included) have been 'shopped, it is MHO that it is always done to entertain and amuse, and NEVER to degrade or insult. You are safe here, and I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we will always be here to catch you when you need it. Thanks for sharing a wonderful memory.

Long cat hair/fur into yarn: am not able to spin but have done Knittage. Kudos to tigerose for incorporating catfuryarn; RealWomen, once you Comb Out & decide what you wish done with it (once it's spun) maybe one of us could accomplish your furr-vent wish (ooooh that's bad!)
Am reminded of joke told at last night's Cabaret. "Who's your best friend, your dog or your wife?" Shrug. "Lock both in trunk of car for an hour, then let 'em out & see who jumps all over you." That actually plays out both ways, for licking & for scolding.

Meant also to compliment Spinnyr on newly resident Gizzard. She cute!

Obviously someone PS'd me out of the picture.

Here's the original.

Tried to type before leaving for DKCabaret, but my ride was earlier than expected. So here I type at 0dark30 waiting for Plumbicon to re-emerge so we can ck Ginger & medicate him if he needs. Which he has for past several nights; no seeming to hit receptive injection spots & his b.g.s have been 300+ last 4 nights. Well, make that 5 nights now. Try to keep him from cadging extra chow as well as rotate sites (which I'm supposed to know from long bitter pointy experience).
Haruko_, I've already grumbled about restrictive Medicare measures I've been told of. But compared to Medicaid & to what I've been paying for insurance that didn't cover any meds at all, I should shaddap.
Pl did have considerable help Loading Out afterward; I hardly needed help tote much of anything & only packed back seat of his car. All stays in car til daylight. & I now cd use a Goody-Night pic ....

Have used this before, from lajimi at end of this past June. Is so very apropos right now!

I bet Buddy would like one of these! (But maybe with a non-pink flower fleece) I made it for a friend's dog when they were over last weekend. It took less than 30 minutes and Nina (pronounced Ninya) loved it!
[i49.tinypic.com image 500x412]

That's adorable! Unfortunately Buddy hates wearing clothing of any kind, lol. He will smother himself in blankets for hours, but put something "on" him and all he wants to do is squirm out of it! Jackets, shirts, hats, booties, forget it. He will grudgingly let me put a coat on him when it is -10 Celsius outside, but that is where he draws the line! Sarah would have loved something like that though.

Have you got a link to a simple pattern? If they're that easy I might try making some for the chihuahua rescue group. Winter's coming fast, and tiny doggies (especially the just-rescued ones who are old/sick/sad/skinny) get chilly so easily!

Little Sarah in a sweater and a blankie!

[i870.photobucket.com image 480x640]

I miss her.

Hugs.

I made Suzy a raincoat out of one of my old ones. She hates it. We call it The Raincoat of Death.

tigerose: Real Women lol! You need an undercoat rake foe your beastie..save the hair, wash it and send it to be spun into yarn...then knit a hat to go with your hair sweater! Lol....

Seariously, I have a hat with trim made from my belved Maine Coon Punkin..it is so soft! And it makes me smile when I wear it!

I would love something knit from my Brat Cat's undercoat, but I do not knit. Booooo! The girliest things I do are cooking and baking and my jewelry and cosmetic/nail polish obsessions. I could bling out every Hollywood starlet on the planet while simultaneously making them fat.

captain feedback: (snips)i like wegies (best contraction evar!) too... and most any long haired puss cats
the maines and forest cats just seem to have a most unique facial structure that i find pleasant.
my shannon (pic above) sheds just her undercoat and you don't even notice it until i get out the dyson ball. then, there's a whole kittens worth of fur in the collecter.

[kittens.jpg]

I'd never had a long haired cat before because I'm allergic (only slightly) to cats. I know you build a resistance to your own cat/s, but I still avoided the long haired kitties, just because I thought they'd make my allergies flare. Imagine my surprise when I finally figured out Go's undercoat seems to keep the highly allergenic dander trapped so my allergies have actually never been much of a problem with her. I just wash my hands and change my clothing after we have a snuggle or I brush her out very fluffy and pretty.

Heh. The fur stories reminded me of one night/early AM when I heard my sis shriek and then a stomp of one of her shoes - and then laughter. I came out of the Super Secret Lair of Infinite Doom to see my sis standing in the kitchen, hand over her mouth, trying to stop laughing. Apparently the GoGo Beastie decided to pull out some of that undercoat while lounging on a chair. She got quite the chunk of it out and apparently dropped it on the kitchen floor. When my sis wandered down for a dead of night snack she saw it out of the corner of her eye and thought it was a mouse. Let the screaming and stomping of mice commence. Who stomps a mouse?!? When she realized it was just some of Go's fur she started laughing. Silly sister! Mice are much more active than large chunks of Wegie-style undercoat! That, and since little Go considers rodents of any kind her BFFs and not a food source, it's a very good thing we don't have mice in the first place.

'Cuz dis is BELLEH! Belleh time!/You cannot rub our bellies, but you might as well try.

My first thought upon hearing about the Munchkin cat breed was to wonder if they would have the same back problems Dachunds are prone to have. Hope you can keep the little guy down for a couple weeks so his back can feel better.

From what I understand, Munchkins were bred for a short-leg gene, so their backbones should be as stable as any other cat. Dachsunds were bred for the long-back gene, which causes the swayback issues.

Are we going to start an old people club?

I remember watching Laugh In with my older siblings (was 7 or 8 at the time) and laughing so hard when Arte Johnson's character would be asked "why do you hold your cigarette that way" and he'd respond, if he held it the other way, he'd burn his lips. Had a light bulb moment at a party in College -- that's why that was so funny!

Add me to the old people club please.

Another for the older posters club. 52 but have been old forever. When mybkid was three he was getting out of bed going groan, gripe, making noises, etc. i was worried and aked him what was wrong. He looked at me and asked "didn't I do that right Daddy?"

To make sure that this fits with a caturday thread, one if our cats is trying to steal my breakfast of smoked whitefish as I type this.

Almost as many notes for semiLuckyPg7 as for pg6 (went back to take some).
akimbotoo: door tale & Walnettos. You may not have been old enough to stay up to watch LaughIn when it was on --
Haruko_, all the pix of your dad & Kiki. At least & last you appear to have felt up to sharing, even tho it still hurts, & may well for some time to come. Research Reveals that Kiki was a him, at least to begin with.
Resounding crash in kitchen: Ginger's in trouble again. He just broke one of small plates we use for bkfst. 12 when we started, now down to 10. Earthenware not supposed to break, but does.

Zizzowop: Snuffybud: I've got a few from earlier this week, I wish my cats would sit still long enough to get good pictures of them. I can take great landscapes but cats tend to move too fast for me!

Is Desi a Singapura? They love to climb on shoulders. My friend has one and he jumps up onto my shoulders too :)

No, Desi is an Abyssinian, they like heights too. He climbs to everyone's shoulders, not just Nick's. He'll stand there and ride while you walk around the house, sometimes it's tough getting him down!

Good Meowning! Happy Caturday.

Eli has been playing furry barbacle since I got home. This a.m. He was sleeping on me as if I were the couch back, and slapping me with his tail...I think he wanted to go use the bushes....it's his fault I got up so late! :)

spinach gunk: [i870.photobucket.com image 500x306]

I hate playing Scrabble with my cat. She always wins.

akimbotoo: Ok, funny story from the other night. Charlie was in the bathroom with me with the door slightly ajar. He walked over to the door to leave and Abby stuck her paw under the door to play with him. He backed up then peered out just as she reached in and booped him on the nose! He then stood up on his hind legs & pushed on the door and closed it with a click and then sauntered off like nothing had happened!

I have no idea what it is about cats and closed doors but strongly suspect it's a territory thing. "Why is part of my territory blocked off?!?" So the GoGo Beastie, who can open interior doors pretty easily if they are not locked, always unblocks her territory by opening the bathroom door if someone closes it. Just my bathroom though, not any other bathroom. It also doesn't matter who is in the bathroom, that door will open and open now. It's led to some people asking to use another bathroom when they come to visit or learning the hard way that a closed door that is not locked means quite a lot to a cat. It apparently means "Please, do come in!"
Bratty cats can be frustrating and embarrassing, but they are entertaining, that's for sure.

kitteh looks so proud!

Well, maybe, but I didn't have the heart to tell those adorable kits. Besides, they have a point; foxes deserve their own day too!

laulaja: SpaceButler, if I've seen your typing & posts before, they're not recalled. Now curiosity is piqued, as that of cats always is, but need to wait til this posts to satisfy it.

I had to give up my beloved kitten when I moved halfway across Canada a couple years ago, so without anything to contribute, I've just been a very occasional lurker on Caturday threads. But I snapped a bunch of pictures of these arctic fox kits while traveling in Iceland earlier this year, and they've just been sitting on my hard drive since. So I couldn't resist sharing some.

Like this!
