THE NEW CAT ROOM! (or the Cat Room #2)

I seriously disagree as this would have a negative impact on the economy. Give male cats thumbs and they will soon begin masturbating. Once they discover this and realize they can get off without having to get up from their spot in the sun and chase a female around, they will ignore females. Next thing you know there will be no kittens, and no revenue from "fixing" the males because it won't be necessary. This will cause the closing of many vets offices and massive lay offs of personnel. This is a bad idea.

Let me nominate you for a Nobel Peace prize in Economics. BVT? This theory is sure to win it.

Here's me and my Ace, George...

Awww.... he looks very cozy.

Man I miss having cats. Sniff.

I miss them too - kerchew! But every few months or so I see my neighbor's cat doing a slight walkabout, and am pleased to see (her) and give her head scratchies.

Well, hey, they remind me of Cinque. She was the first cat I loved.

Cats are so dang funny. After a while you're fairly sure they have some kind of affection for you, but (speaking for me) its never 100% sure that if they had the chance to escape, they wouldn't be gone. Sort of like the way Cinque sounds like she booked, I'm scared a couple or three of ours would hit the road and not find their way home. Since having a couple of bad experiences in the past because of letting cats roam free, all 5 (count 'em!) of ours are totally inside cats now.

I don't think Cinque booked, I think she was taken by the church guy - or is that what you mean by booked - who used to pet her, as we didn't see him again for years after that, rather precisely. She'd been with us for years.

Maybe he did really like her. Re others taking her, I don't remember that it was around halloween, not sure. Will have to ask ex, if we ever talk about it. She was his cat in the first place. My first, though.

All your black cats are absolutely beautiful, snood!

Meanwhile in quirky China...this lady thinks her cat gave birth to a puppy...

The owner of a pet cat has from Yangshan in eastern China's Jiangsu Province claims that it has given birth to a puppy. According to Zhou Yun, earlier this month her cat gave birth to two kittens. However, when she later went to check on them she discovered that one of the kittens had died. "I then noticed the other kitten surprisingly looks like a dog," she says. Zhou, who also has a pet dog, added: "Quite possibly the kitty is a mixed child". However, according to Lai Xiaoyun from the local pet clinic the cat probably gave birth to two kittens in the early morning and one died. "So the cat went out and accidentally found a litter of newborn puppies and took one home," he explained.

The Boys

Whoa... did you play with the color or are their eyes really that green?

Your boys are beautiful, Izzie. I was gonna ask the same thing about that almost florescent color.

Hey Soz and Snood

My boys keep me smiling!

Yep, new camera (whizzy singing dancing camera) and some whizzy software - processed the pics in CS5, sharpened, added contrast, saturated and then faded saturate...

Murphy's eyes (my black and white fella) are absolutely stunning, sometimes they look like turquoise marbles - they are almost luminous - his colouring makes his eyes stand out so much - and my black boy - well, he has the biggest greenest eyes ever - in the dark - well, he's truly magnificent - like a black panther.

Have toned Murphy's down a bit but it looks to me as if they've pixelated now - tho it's hard to see the variations on this really crahpy monitor I'm using (school one which is THAT old!) and the display is pants...

However, took some video of Murphy today and will try and figure out how to upload it when I get my laptop back and then you can see him in the kitty flesh, so to speak.

They are both so handsome...




talking of which Snood - my oh my, your avatar pic is wow gorgeous!!!!!!

This is more proof that animals actually have fully developed sense of emotions and range of feelings.

and are capable of committing major felonies like kidnapping.

One of George's favorite things to do is to get in my lap when I'm sitting down in my bathrobe, then dig until I let him get closed up inside. He loves it, all tucked away in there. This is a picture from my point-of-view with George peering up at me from inside his 'bathrobe sanctum'.

DJ... the NSA needs to decode this cat's encrypted message!
