1. Wow, that was so amazing and cute!!! Thanks for posting/sharing!!!

[Pope George Ringo II]

2. One of cats' proudest moments was when they domesticated people.

Wise move on their part, and really advanced their civilisation.

10. they only did that so they could get to the food in the cans.

Once the food is all gone, BEWARE THE CATS!

[Pope George Ringo II]

12. If you want to see the difference between cats and dogs at its starkest

Wait for the owner to die and leave the animal in the house alone. The dog will starve to death if nobody gets it. The cat won't. That's all I'm going to say on the subject because it says a lot about how useful you are to your pet.

Two cats in my house and I love them anyway. I just plan to outlive them.

[Merlot]

13. Cats are resourceful, that's for sure.

[catbyte]

16. No, no they won't starve to death. That's a myth.

That's enough, but you get my drift.

[Pope George Ringo II]

17. Perhaps I exaggerated.

But my understanding is that the cats are a lot quicker.

Heck, I've got one who hasn't even got the decency to wait for me to die. Or even for him to be hungry, now that I think about it...

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

20. The only reason cats are quicker

is that they don't like spoiled meat. Dogs will eat anything.

[Pope George Ringo II]

22. Cast iron stomachs.

5. K & R!

6. That was nice, thanks

[Silver Gaia]

7. OMG! She's our Callie reborn!

She's just like her, even down to riding on shoulders! Precious!

(I miss our sweet Callie girl.)

[catbyte]

25. She looks so much like my sweet, spoiled Sammy.

Sammy was found at about three weeks of age wandering alone in the woods, malnourished and riddled with fleas & ticks. The woman who rescued her was terribly allergic to cats so she couldn't keep her. She posted her picture on the electronic bulletin board at the university where we both worked and I fell in love. She was a tiny thing, but tough. I don't know how she survived on her own with all of the predators in the area. She's 6 now, but still very tiny at barely 6 pounds.

This is Sammy, clearly displeased at the size of box I'd just opened.



I'm so sorry about your sweet Callie, She sounds like she was very special.

8. sometimes your friends choose you.

[Marie Marie]

9. And then, teach you about love and what's really important.

[Dream Girl]

11. They have the same color eyes...

[tblue37]

14. K&R for the kitteh. nt

[More_Cowbell]

15. She's teaching him to slow down and enjoy the journey nt

[iscooterliberally]

18. She reminds me of our Celina.

Except Celina picked a dog instead of a human. Sadly her puppy is gone though. He had cancer and we had to send him over the rainbow bridge on the 23rd.

[femmedem]

19. So sorry for your loss.

He looks like such a sweet boy.

[catbyte]

21. I'm so very sorry.

[iscooterliberally]

27. Thanks catbyte.

And thank you for all of your wonderful animal posts! I do enjoy them!

[Fla Dem]

24. So sorry you lost your buddy, your pal. 😢

[Fla Dem]

23. Some things are preordained, fate. Two unlikely creatures meeting up

and each having a positive impact on the other. He says he almost left her, but just couldn’t. Whatever forces were at work here, wouldn’t allow it.

[2naSalit]

26. That's usually how I find

most of the cats who've lived with me, they bounce out of the bushes and I end up with a cat to live with.
