Sadly, I've been informed that this fine fellow isn't long for this world. Only a month or so left according to Mr Vet. He'll be missed.

I'm sorry. So far, this hasn't been a good year for pets. We lost a cat a couple of months ago.

This isn't my dog, but the picture made me laugh so hard that I thought I'd post it here:



look at those googlie eyes!!!

This is not my cat either, but it soooo him! These cartoons should remind something to all those who share the life of a cat...

That is one cool cat!

[ImTheMoneypenny]

I've used this before because it makes me laugh. It's my 10 year old dog Mary Lou wearing an Aussie wide awake hat. She's become a camera ham in her older age. I share two dogs and seven cats with my sister. They're all of varying ages from 19 to 2 years old. This is my favourite pet photo through.

Awww. Looks like two of my late cats, Tomas Patrick Gilhooley, and Peter Criss. I lost Mister Tomas at the age of 11 to bad kidneys. Which I later found I could have saved him earlier by making 'parsley tea' for him as I did with another cat with kidney problems, Macca. His brother Mister Criss died of old age of 15 four years later. I promised myself I wouldn't take on anymore kittens except for hard luck cases. So far my services in taking in foster kittens hasn't been needed.

It's tough to lose a friend.

Dear Father Christmas,
I have been a very good boy this year, so I'm hoping you'll bring me lots of nice pressies. Here is my list:
Juicy bones
A warm, waterproof coat
Delicious biscuits
Cuddles
Wings on my feet to help me catch that damn cat that keeps getting in the woodpile
Thank you for your time,
Zac

Zac in his dressing gown:






This is not dog abuse . If he's been in the sea or got muddy and had to have a bath, I put this on him if it's too cold or wet to dry off outside. It protects the furniture and rugs and helps him dry, plus he really enjoys wearing it. Honest .

4 of my 5 labrador retrievers (the other one's too fat to climb onto a table) back in Bangkok. They're probably what I miss most about home

Cute pic! He looks just as if the carpet has been made to his resemblance

And don't worry about the weight... 6 pounds for a cat seems fairly normal to me (my mother's cat was about 15 pounds last time she managed to put the beast on scales... now you can talk about "heavy"! )

5 labradors? That's quite a pack of dogs! A friend of mine had a female labrador who once had something like 6 or 7 puppies (which was not really planned nor welcome initially)... I remember his house being completely ransacked by the cute little things! I hope for you your dogs are quieter Anyway, they look very good!

Thanks MkB, but I made a huge mistake with his waight... He's almost 11 kilo's (that's how we measure waight in Holland 99% of the time). That would make about 20 pounds Here's another pic!

Sorry to hear that, ITMP... He had really beautiful eyes, with a thoughtful look. Looked like a wise cat!

Ouch! 20 pounds... Now, that's quite a cat! But frankly, he does look rather fit for his weight

Macca was a smart cat he could mouse like no one's business! He was only 7 but he'd had a rough early life before we got him. He was a food maniac too! Knew how to steal food no bread sack was safe from him! He had a wonderful last weekend before he went, nothing but spoiling and lovin' because we knew something was up with him. he gave us hugs that last weekend too. He was happy and ready to go.

We were able to take in a new cat, Miss Eliza Kitty, a stray that lived in the neighbour's shack-like garage. I need to get a picture of her as she's a beautiful cat, orange tabby with bits of gray/black tabby and huge green eyes. She wasn't sure about being indoors at first, I think she'd been dumped when she was not a cute kitten any longer, but now she's loving sleeping on beds and eating all the food she wants. No more snow or rain or having to sleep with one eye open.

I should post more pics, I have more cats! And they all have a story!

Indeed!

It makes me think: I visited this place last week, and I wanted to share it with you:
http://www.romancats.com/
It's a cat shelter in Rome, where about 250 cats live in the very center of the City, right among archeological excavations and ancient ruins of roman temples (it is called the Area Sacra di Torre Argentina).

Rome is famous for its stray cats colonies, but they sometimes live the hard life in a modern, urban environment... The oldest, or most disabled or ill cats particularly find a shelter at Torre Argentina.

Many international volunteers help at this cat shelter, and international adoptions are also encouraged, be it "real" adoption (Roman cats can be shipped worldwide ) or what they call "distance adoption": cats that have few chance of getting adopted "for real" are proposed for distance adoption, where adopters send some money for the cat and get some special news and photos from the shelter.
If you want to help, you can pay a visit to their boutique, or consider "distance adoption"!

Only seven? Wow, he looks so much older there. That's the kind of cat I like: a bit of a mysterious past, cheeky, streetwise and full of character.

We woke up to snow in Portland this morning so here is a picture of my dog (Sasha the Husky) and my wife's dog Cooper (King Charles Spaniel).

Crikey, whats it like having a Husky as a pet? Am I right in thinking that they constantly want exercise?

When she was younger she was quite the handful (she ate 2 recliners and pulled up our carpet). She is 7 now and has mellowed considerably but still loves her exercise. She is my princess. She is also HIGHLY intelligent. I have had dogs most of my life and have never seen a smarter dog. I have tons of stories. She is like a canine Houdini. We have never been able to confine her to an area without her finding a way out.

Looks like the perfect Zen-dog for Zencat!

That sounds like a good cause! I'll check it out!



Here's my 'Big Pig' Iggy Pop aka Piggy. He was a starving tiny stray kitten when I snatched him up and took him home about 3 years ago, that's why he's called Iggy, but he's such a big boy now we call him Piggy. He's my lover boy!
