The QQ pet & critters thread...

[Doug G.]

Cats don't have owners; they have staff.

Yes but the notion that cats have no affection is one of the most egregious bits of disinformation in pet history.
As Caesar grew and before he was neutered, he would get out and carouse, of course, and get into fights.

One time he was gone for a few days and we thought he was gone for good. But, there he eventually showed up at the back door, completely beat up and with both forelegs infected and an infection above his right eye. We took him to the vet and he had to stay there about three days.

When my dad and I went to pick him up, he was SO happy to see us, he was going nuts in the car, ramming his head into my dad's face so hard, I had to hold him so my dad could drive whereby he started ramming his head into my face!

I’ve found that cats generally are affectionate. I think we’ve had ten over our marriage, sometimes four at a time. Most have been very cuddly, most liked to sit on out laps, most liked to sleep in our bed. I say most, because every cat has been unique.

My wife sent this to me a few days ago:

Albert Schweitzer (1875--1965) had a beloved cat called Sizi. When writing at his desk, she often liked to curl up on his left arm -- so rather than disturb her, the naturally left-handed Schweitzer struggled to write with his right hand. He said, "There are two means of refuge from the miseries of life: music and cats."

Neko and Crumpet, not at each other's throats for once. Crumpet loves his new tower. Neko prefers terra firma

Bodhi and BFF Nala, play date at the local park this morning. A good time was had by all.

How are Bodhi’s eyes doing? I see that he still needs the ski goggles.

Yet another photo candidate for the cat on the new Detroit Lions helmet. Right @cbmmm3 ?

So here's my gang of rescues taking a break from their sweatshop at my wifes sewing area.

My Canadian lady's Lily spends a day a week socialising at doggie daycare as a break from (what I guess) is her rather mundane life being home all day with two cats, punctuated with the odd visit to the dog park. And, being Canada, it's now the first few flurries of Winter ... but she's still happy:

reminds me of that Cheap Trick song

 

[Bill B]

For some reason it reminds me of this album cover.

Kind of similar to "ashinbox" if you think about it.

Just to be clear, none of the other cat pics in this thread have ever reminded me of this album cover.

My granddaughter's cozy old pug...

 

[SyrinxTemple]

She may have missed me.

I think this qualifies on both surround music & critter ends. Our cat was not very sociable but the one time she would come and sit with me was when I fired up the System of the Gods and started rocking.

It was even odder because she didn't like loud noises and my listening room regularly hits 85 db or more. But she would come in and hop on my lap or sit next to me and she became the #RockCat.

Good times
