Sven's Cat

<< < (5/6) > >>

Surgoshan:
I have two cats and they don't get along.  I rescued both from abandonment, so they both follow me around all the time and hate other cats (fighting for food with feral felines... not fucking fun).

Mallli_kite:
Yah, ferals and semi-ferals are hard.  The one we just adopted was about 6 months old, semi-feral, and has had some adjustment problems.  Sometimes he's sweet as can be, other times he's a terror, and hardly a day goes by I don't get a bite or a scratch (usually followed by a head butt and a demand for pets).  But he's buddied up with two of my other cats and seems to be settling down -- SLOWLY...

Shawn:
Well, if you guys are gonna talk about your cats...

I've got one feral and one stray. They're both sweet to me, but they don't get along with each other. The feral (older girl) picks on the stray (younger girl).

I've had Kitty (feral) since she was about 2 months old, and she's about 4 years old now. Her colony was living behind my parent's old boat lot, and when the city decided to mow it down we found homes for all the cats. Kitty grabbed on to my jacket and wouldn't let go, so I took her home with me (attached to my jacket the entire time). She thinks I'm dad, and won't really socialize with anyone else. She's my little fur-baby :p

Kallie (stray) is only about 1 1/2 years old, and she was living in the abandoned house next door to me. I think someone abandoned her there, because she isn't feral - she has no killer instinct. I brought her in about a year ago because she was limping around from falling off of things. She's safe in my house now, but she still runs into walls and falls off the bed. She also has allergies, so she sneezes and breaths heavy a lot, and also snores like an engine revving up. She is quirky charm in kitten form, and pretty much just chases her tail and sleeps on everyone who comes in the house. She's a snuggle-slut like Sven's cat, 'cept way cuter :p

*added pictures because I am that lame.

Mallli_kite:
I know, talking about one's cat on the internet is such a cliche, but as someone once pointed out, cliches exist because that's what people do commonly.

Cat pictures are not lame.  Kitty porn (endless pictures of one's cat) is a little scary.  Talking about your pet is, you know, sort of normal.

OK, here's a question -- why is talking about something you love, something about which you are vulnerable, considered such a bad thing?  Is it that school yard tribe instinct that someone has a weakness, so everyone else should throw rocks and pretend they don't have any weaknesses?  I don't quite get it, but I've seen it -- on some forums, if you display something that looks like a tender human emotion, there will be a group ready to descend on you, self appointed to tell you how [enter negative adjective of your choice] you are.

Anyway, Shawn, I enjoyed your cat stories.  All of my cats are hard luck cases of one type or another.  I'm certain that there's an invisible cat sign somewhere around my house (like the old hobo code) that tells other cats "SUCKERS LIVE HERE".  I thought I'd left it behind when I moved, but apparently I packed it up without knowing it.  We hadn't been here six months before 2 strays started hanging around and looking cute and hungry at me.

Mr. Skawronska:
I know the feeling.  I'm integrating a stray into my household.  And actually, she's better behaved than one of our more "high spirited" cats who was born here.

She's very timid though...but when she comes, she likes to snuggle my face.

She and He Fat don't get along so well, though.  But at least they tolerate the same bed: Mine.

Go figure.
