((I’m sorry i read that last post.))
Tiger is beautiful! And extremely regal looking. Thanks for giving him a home. I’m sure that very soon you will understand what the rest of us have been saying all along - Kitties RULE!
Wow, that’s a bit of a hijack, isn’t it hlanelee? But thanks for the reminder, I have a new cat too that will get her shots soon.
Did you and your girlfriend get vaccinated just in case? It’s common with suspected exposures like that, because she was probably shedding the virus through her saliva before she was showing symptoms.
so VERY glad smokey does not go outside unless in her carrier and accompanied by me
I’m gonna have to vote “inappropriate” on this one, hlanelee. You don’t just charge into a nice happy thread like this and dump a story like that. Maybe you should have mentioned that you know from experience that it’s a good idea to vaccinate your pets and left it at that. If someone wanted to know what happened, they’d have asked.
Shirley, Shirley, Shirley, Tiger isn’t “gray with black markings” - he’s a TABBY! A big, beautiful, tabby boy. Like my boy, Lou, that I had to give away because he was crapping and peeing all over the house, but that’s not important right now.
I wouldn’t worry about your husband and the cat getting along - the cat will decide when it’s time to get rubsies from your husband, and that will be that. And make sure the kitty gets his regular beatings - cats need a lot of beatings.*
*In our house this is code for playing with the cat, complete with fake beatings and scrubbing, not actual beatings.
And a brown tabby, too, not gray. 
Like my Caddie-cat!
Scarlett loves the play beatings. The rules of the game are simple. I can only use one hand (two confuses her), always open hand, and points are only scored for a belly slap, or a forehead bop.
She can score points by being fast enough to grab my hand in her paws, and bring it close enough to rip my forearm flesh with her back claws, or by pretend-biting my finger.
She gets credit for a “defend” by putting a paw on my hand before it scores to the belly or head. Since I’m bigger, I get no defense points.
Once we start the game, she gets all aggressive and growly, but she gives away her true attitude by purring loud enough to wake the dead. Also by the fact that once we finish, she insists on the nice cuddle.
I never instigate the game either. She signifies by jumping on the sectional, flopping over on to her back and saying game on sucker
Speaking of Pussy Overlords, no kitty-lover should miss out on this.
Make sure your speakers are on.
For the real funny you have to watch to the very end
You know, I can’t help but keep hearing the thread title in the context of a confessional…
“Forgive me Father, for I have welcomed my pussy over Lord.”
I always hated that song. Even more now that I see the lyrics are as ridiculous as the music.
AAAWWWWWW…he’s so cute! I love tabby cats-he looks like an older, fatter version of Maggie.
He may always be a bed-hopper. Some cats are loyal, some always sleep around.
If nothing else, at least now I know the %#@&ing lyrics!!!
Yes! And they include the word Overlord! Sung by kitties!
Earlier today I began reading this thread about everybody’s happy kitty stuff and I immediately posted a VERY inappropriate response, irrespective of the mood of the thread. I don’t know what I was thinking. Sometimes I’m such a d*ck. Everyone please forgive me.
I watched… and watched… and watched. The same damn thing over & over. I kept waiting for an end… and after about the 5th repeat, I turned it off .
WAS there an end to it???
Sigh…ok, maybe I’m just easily amused :smack:
Throughout the clip it seems they are sailing the choppy seas, then at the end it pans out for the larger view and you see they are on an itty bitty pond…
Back on topic: I wish I could have a kitty, but I’m surrounded by cat haters, including my landlord, who is an old family friend. He let’s me have two moose-sized dogs who tear the livin crap outta his yard but no kitties for me :dubious:
Bring pie and all is cool.
Congratulations on your new pussy. The cats are in charge around here. I bought a new computer monitor last week, but I am not allowed to throw away the box because it has holes in the sides (meant to be handles) and one cat gets in the box while the other peeks through one of the holes. After a while they switch places. Every time I have tried to throw out the box they come running and jump in.
singlefile, why would you throw out a free cat toy?
Well, it’s still here, so I guess I can’t throw it out. Actually, I’m having fun with it. All I have to do is just bump it and they come running. The young (read stupid) one takes a flying leap inside if he sees it moving. The funny thing is that I built them a climby thing that has cool holes in it and is quite tall and carpet covered, and they are all worked up over a box.
