Thread: Cats are the best!, we have 10 of them. 3 dogs also.

Raising four children in a home schooled environment, with a wife that grew up too poor for pets... We had quite the zoo. Cats were certainly part of the mix.
I have my name on the list for a Hemingway , should one become available.

Not sure if I offended or not but no criticism of your role was intended. I'm just not a fan of the attitude of pets being disposable. Craigslist is full of jerks looking to sell off their pets to go to their "next forever home."

Now that we've cleared up any misunderstandings let's please stay on the topic of positive posts celebrating our affection for our four footed friends.

If there is going to be any discussion about man's inhumanity to cats, dogs, or others lets do it in a stand alone thread please.

My daughter got married, moved out and had to leave her big (24 pound) cat behind. He is now my "Shaving Buddy"--he jumps up on the bathroom counter and wants to be petted while I shave. I was always a dog person, but have a place in my heart for him. My two Labrador Retrievers hate him.

Sheesh Jimmy - that big grey is the spiriting image of my boy Seamus, the one and only - 18 lbs of muscle and attitude - huge cat, and had the biggest personality I've experienced with one of these majestic beasts.

Going to dig a picture up of him and will post it....

9:28pm edit:

Found a SOTD pic within a pic of Seamus, sitting on my 5 1/2 ' by 9 1/2' billiard table( for his size reference), he was a big boy, full of personality, striking resemblance...always wondered if there was a bit of Norwegian Forest Cat in him:

My shaving buddy is a gray haired Manx named Hans. He sits on the floor and watches every lap when I strop. Hans even sat on my lap and watched all of Lynn's youtube shaving videos.

Lovely cat Andrew. My guy is named Rambunctious. I named him that because he is. I call him 'little cat' though, because he is that too. Eleven to twelve pounds at about 11 years old.

Phrank, Norwegian Forest Cats are the greatest. My avatar was Lil Mama and as close as I could research she was a Norwegian Forest Cat. Beautiful temperament, fantastic mama to six kittens (still have 1/2 Siamese daughter, Minnie.) Lil Mama and her black and white 25 lb son, Prince, both returned to the Universe within a few months of each other.

I have always been a dog person, and have had Dachshunds for 62 years. However, I never knew how much of a cat person I was until my 15 year old Norwegian Forest cat started developing kidney problems and had to be put down last May. He was always at my side, next to me at my desk, on my lap, in with me while shaving, or on the bed. I miss him dearly.

My dad got two of them years ago. One is still around living the life of luxury. Strange looking feet. There was a time that you could have just picked one up out behind the Benihana location in Key West among other places. A number of them had apparently signed a peace treaty with the local raccoon mafia as far as grabbing the yummy seafood scraps from the dumpster went. Plenty for everyone, I guess.
