Oh yeah. This fella acts sweet as can be, but deep down he’s a real punk. He’s getting his cajones cut tomorrow so we’ll see how fearless he is with no testicles. Like all cats, good thing he’s cute…

I think the same thing. But he’s been with me for almost eighteen years and while I’ve have a nip or too I think I’m safe.

I often would call my late cat Schooner “No Neck”. Can’t imagine why.

Oh, Ollie has grown into a beautiful specimen of doxie-hood. Just lovely. Sounds like he has all the appropriate (or otherwise) behavioral acoutrements, as well!

Newman is so excited about being in this thread that he’s turned his own ear inside out.

Today’s blast from the past: Ed, of the Eddy, Teddy, and Freddy brother trio I adopted as four-month-olds from a rescue (adopt two, get one free!). He was tall, rangy, good-natured, dignified (for a cat), welcoming to visitors astonished at his size, and kind to kittens.

I endorse all cats that are good-natured. Especially if it’s consistent, which is the bane of my petting-induced aggression Kai cat.

Ben was cool with any barn cats that happened to wander past, also fine with dogs. I boarded him out so he never met any of my own cats.

Not a pet picture per se, but since it is dachshund related and I am a dachshundphile, I thought I’d share this interesting story (gift link):

[Valerie the Dachshund Lost on Kangaroo Island in Australia, But Still Alive!](https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/28/world/australia/dachshund-dog-australia-island.html?unlocked_article_code=1.7k4.kmiT.Iwnk9nO5Y8vM&smid=url-share)

Poor Valerie! I hope she is soon reunited with her family.

I nearly put a long complicated rant about laundry baskets here; but it probably belongs in the bad product design thread, if it belongs anywhere at all.
