Akita, Kisu.

Alsation lives with the cat, Akita lives in another house. The cat is a rescue cat who has been hit by a few cars and is now not too smart. The akita is now older and fatter. Not seen any of them in aaaaages.
Should visit them soon.

Post pics of your pets, cute ones win internets.

Libby, the smallest cat. She likes to chill and watch tv, and hates it when I take photos of her.

(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y172/FrozenLily/Boo.jpg)

Tessa. She has one eye, is obscenely obese, has asthma and allergies, loves cuddles and is better at mousing than Libby. She caught a wood pidgeon a few weeks ago that was so big, I swear it was a hawk or something.

The cat is a rescue cat who has been hit by a few cars and is now not too smart.

To be fair, if it's been hit by a few cars, I doubt it was too smart to begin with.

He likes the look of the camera, though. Stoney thinks she is his Mama, so it is hilarious to watch this big dog follow the tiny rabbit everywhere.

We have therefore taken the decision to stop taking any orders for a period of twelve months, effective September 30th, 2007. [...] If you want to purchase an ALLERCA GD hypoallergenic kitten, you should place your order before the cut-off date of September 30th, 2007.

Order one now! Quickly!

Title: Re: Pets and cuteness.
Post by: Caiphana on 29 Sep 2007, 11:49: I've seen cats and birds get along, yeah... but my birds are nuts. They would try to take on the cat. If I had a cat, it would not be declawed (I like my fingernails; don't you? Cats do, too), and if it even decided to paw at the bird and nicked it, the bird could die. Cats have funky bacteria that doesn't agree with birdies.

Also, cats and birds get along best when the birds stay in their cage. Mine don't when we're home; they like to roam around.

But anyway... maybe one day. I like animals. We definitely want a dog. We're in love with Akitas. And I want another bird; probably a moluccan cockatoo. My guy wants a severe macaw, iirc.

They aren't removing a fingernail. They take out the whole first knuckle. A number of things can go wrong too, the most common occurs when they don't remove the knuckle properly. This causes the claw and knuckle to try to regrow, which it can't. It tears through the skin, and causes a lot of bleeding, plus infections.
Title: Re: Pets and cuteness.
Post by: Caiphana on 29 Sep 2007, 12:09: Oh, I know. I just said that cuz the only way to truly remove a nail is to rip off the first knuckle completely. It's probably the kindest thing you can do to a kitten, I think.

-ball python : check!
-corn snake -butter corn morph
-rosy boa
-kingsnake - inverted stripe morph
-green tree python (by far the most beautiful animals I have ever seen)

By the way, today's feeding day. Pictures will follow (in the form of links so the squeamish can be protected)

Yeah, corn snakes get to be about 6 feet don't they? That mom made a big mistake. I like albinos, but I like the butter corn or butter corn motley morphs better, they're warmer yellow tones and whatnot.

Post by: Boro_Bandito on 02 Oct 2007, 07:03: We had to put down my 17 year old miniature poodle Pepper last year. it gets lonely when she isn't sittin' on the couch next to me, progressively shifting to find a comfortable position until her butt is pointed directly at me so she can fart and make me gag and have to leave the room for a few minutes. God I miss that dog. Liver failure sucks.

However I have just recieved word form my future roomate that he's getting a kitten. New life replaces old I suppose.

The kingsnake in the back passed away in December. She was the one who got me over my fear of snakes, as my wife is the reptile lover in the house. Since the picture we have added Bull the rat, Henry the dog, and Tatsumi the snake. For the snake lovers here is a link to more of his pictures - http://imageevent.com/richardsdm/tatsumi

My family used to live in my grandmothers home. She loved cats and at one point had something like 40. Of them all my dad only got close to a one-eyed cat. Eventually they all succumbed to leukemia. I always found it amazing how well animals can adapt to losses like limbs and eyes.

And I can't help but squeal a little everytime I open this thread and see that kitten with the shoe string.

Title: Re: Pets and cuteness.
Post by: Boro_Bandito on 04 Oct 2007, 07:41: Hey, i bought and snuck my snake into the dorms, as long as your roomate is cool with it you could literally keep anything in there lower than a cat/dog/ferret. Pretty sure Chinchillas don't really make any noises beyond the odd squeak.

Just remember to keep your door shut when you're in there, the people down the hall who owned a banded california kingsnake nearly got caught once, the cage was in the closet and the only thing keeping the RA from seeing it was me. Really close call.

They are actually the guys who gave me the idea of buying a snake in the first place. Bad influences, :P

They look like the kind of animal that starts out all cute and fuzzy, but before you know it it's chewed holes in your favorite socks and pooped on your keyboard. But you can't hate them because they're soft and fuzzy and their fur is the equivalent of MSG.

Post by: Boro_Bandito on 09 Oct 2007, 20:38: It sorta makes you wonder how the hell those things ever survived in the wild, or where in the hell they come from for that matter. Great, now I have to research it.

Edit: Right then, let's get started with the basic wikipedia article found http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinchilla (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinchilla).

Notable parts of the Wiki entry include:

"Chinchillas are rabbit-sized, crepuscular rodents native to the Andes mountains in South America. Along with their relatives, viscachas, they belong to the family Chinchillidae."

"The animal (whose name literally means "little Chincha") is named after the Chincha people of the Andes, who wore its soft and dense fur. By the end of the 19th century, chinchillas had become quite rare due to hunting for their fur."

"Mathias F. Chapman, a mining engineer from California, was working in Chile in 1918 when he purchased a chinchilla as a pet and took a liking to it. He envisioned raising a whole herd of chinchillas and he applied to the Chilean government for permission to capture and transport several animals to the US."

"Chinchillas make many noises, including barks, chirps, and squeaks."

Quote
including barks, chirps, and squeaks

Yes. That is a chinchilla, holding a sticker that he has just removed from the squash beside him.

For the record, I've spent several nighttime hours (they are nocturnal, which is GREAT for people who work all day, but don't want to depress an animal by leaving it alone for eight to ten hours a day) with Charlie, and he didn't make one sound... except when I almost stepped on him.

Chiasm is a rescue kitty. He's about 5 years old, very sweet and loving, and will let you hold him like a baby. Two caveats to his awesomeness: He eats (and poops) plastic, and pees when he's scared. He has different colored eyes (heterochromia) and is named after the place in the brain where this defect(?) is thought to happen, the optic Chiasm. I'm a neuro-nerd.

Katrina in her wall-tank. It was hard to clean, so I eventually put her back into a regular filtered tank, but she died a few money later. I was pretty happy, because I don't really like fish. I just got her because she was missing scales and they were going to throw her away. I get her for 50% off. I got another fish to be her friend, but she ate him. His name was Mr. Pink.

She is named after the Hurricane.

Cute zoo! Just, uh, make sure all your fences are at least at recommended height--those are some pretty ferocious-looking felines.

This is the dog of the family I was living with in Italy. His name's Miele, which means "honey" and also happens to be the name of the largest appliance manufacturing company in the region. He smelled awful, all the time (but he was pretty cute).

And may I just say that we also have 17 dwarf hamsters. This is a result of one word: oops. These are just three of them, Starsky, Hutch, and Huggie Bear. (Most of them are named by theme, just so we know who is in what cage. We also have The Beatles, and the Golden Girls, among the themes.)

Post by: mayfly on 25 Jan 2008, 22:09: This is my weird little dog, Montague. He's a (hairless) Chinese Crested dog, and he's about 1 1/2 years old now.

This is him when he was about 8 weeks old--the first picture I saw of him. I'm pretty sure it was the Rod Stewart/Andy Warhol/Albert Einstein hairdo that did it for me.
(http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r112/petalcrest/mont.jpg)

And this is him about a year ago, trying to decide if my stepsister's camera is a good thing to eat.
(http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r112/petalcrest/monty.jpg)

And this is me and Monty posing for a photo. My grandparents demand at least 2 of these photoshoots every year. At least they're too far away to pinch my cheeks now.

Post by: Lines on 31 Jan 2008, 16:47: Well, my cat is also a tomcat. Meaning even if he wasn't fat, he'd still be effing huge. We've also been monitoring his diet, but he just won't loose weight. But he's 12 years old and possibly has arthritis, so he's not very active anymore, which he definitely was when he wasn't fat and old.

But he is still awesome for cuddles, so it's ok!

Title: Re: Pets and cuteness.
Post by: Alex C on 01 Feb 2008, 21:27: Could be either that or a British shorthair (aka british blue) mix. My aunt used to breed them 'cuz they have such soft plush fur, like a grumpy stuffed animal; she had to stop though 'cuz they're a touch rare in the US and didn't want to interbreed or go through the expense of traveling all over hell. Russian blues tend to have narrower faces and big ears relative to their heads, whereas British shorthairs are comparatively big cats with really round heads. Of course, since it's a shelter kitty who knows what's in there muddying the waters? It certainly doesn't look quite like either breed, so he probably is a bit of a mutt, but who cares? It's not like pure breds are more fun anyway.

we got kulapo when we lived in downtown oakland in the 4th floor of an office building convered to a live/work space - a good 10 blocks from residential houses in any direction. He flew up over the 6th floor down a light well, and hung out on our living room window on easter day, it was raining heavily too, he's a bad-ass. A couple years later i met a bird enthusiast who worked in the building next door, who saw him haning around all week before easter and triedto coax him down with treats, small and strange world.

She and her brother Otis got dumped on our front porch when they were about 6 weeks old when I was 3. Otis ran off later, but she stuck it out with me. She died of a type of bone cancer that apparently only usually occurs in rottweilers this past October. She was 19. She was so bossy, and always just walking all over people. Like seriously, you'd just be sitting there and then all of a sudden she's basically just pushing you onto the ground to sit on you. Also she used to lick my hair; I guess she thought it tasted good.

This guy's name was Wanderer, after Taran from the Lloyd Alexander series. He had huuuuge feet, and whenever we would see him prowling through the backyard he always looked vaguely like a cheetah. He had cataracts in the one eye (although sometimes the light would shine through it funny and we could see his eye was completely intact behind it, and I think he sometimes could see through the cataract) and was mostly deaf. He reminded me of Willy Nelson, all old and grizzled and kind of a hippie and been there forever and never dying. He showed up one day to eat our other cats' food and bully them around because he was a Tough Guy, but then he stuck around and eventually let us get him fixed. After that there was not a sweeter, less demanding cat I have ever met. He wanted whatever affection I would dole out, and would follow me around whenever I was outside just to be near me. A lot of his nights were spent peering in the windows at us, wanting to be inside not because it was cooler or warmer or the weather wasn't so bad in there but to be with us; and it was sad because we often ignored him in the hopes that he would go amuse himself (my mom is allergic to cats and wasn't getting shots at the time).
In August 07 he was sleeping under my car and I had to leave because I was late for work and I didn't check, and I ran over him. He was put down three days later because of a ruptured bladder that was leaking somewhere into his abdominal cavity. We found out after he had gotten some Xrays that his head was not actually supposed to be that round, but built up scar tissue from so many fights over the years, plus a poorly healed fracture in his jaw that had some calcium around it, made it kind of misshapen. We also found out that once, back before we knew him, he had been shot not once or twice but three times, and only one of them could possibly be confirmed to be merely a BB, because the others were just shrapnel. Ever since he died I have always felt like we were never fair to him, because he never demanded anything of anyone and was the most grateful creature I have ever seen for so little in return, and we by comparison did not shower him with unrestrained affection but barely spared him such attention as we could be bothered. I can say, though, that because of him I was far more aware of what I should have offered him, so that I could in turn give Thelma the interaction she craved during her last weeks out of respect for both her and his memory.

I could write some about a rat I use to have, he is still my favourite pet ever but it is too depressing.

I miss you ratfink :'(

This is my sister's kitten Nabisco. He is pretty much only ever in pictures when he is asleep because the flash spooks him. He is about a year old now, but he got fixed when he was not even 8 weeks, so he's still got the pointy head and the big ears and never grew much larger than kitten sized. He is a weird cat, because half the time he spooks and runs away from everything, but the other half the same stimulus (like dropping something heavy on the floor next to him) he won't even notice.

This is my buddy Oscar. He and Nabisco are best friends and playmates, otherwise he would come and live with me (you know, if I could afford the $400 pet deposit). They both live indoors because we had a cat named Tormey around two years ago now who was indoor-outdoor and one day he got spooked by the garbage man on his way outside and we never saw him again; it was pretty ominous when later the same day Animal Control picked up a coyote on the next street over, so I am pretty sure what happened, even if my sister will never admit it.
It is strange for a cat to adopt a person and not a territory, but somewhere along the line Oscar decided I am his human, and every time I go visit my parents he is right there at the door waiting to smoosh his nose into mine on the stairs in greeting, and he really likes sleeping curled right against my butt at night, under the sheets of course. He is about three-ish and enormous at 23lb, even though he is not really fat - there is a type of cat that tends to be tabby, male, and just friggin huge, and I don't remember what it is called, but he is one. Admittedly, he has got a little fluffy pooch on his lower belly when he sits that covers his feet, but for the most part he is pretty solid and not flabby at all. Also he has got this thing about sleeping on his back in kind of a spread eagle positions, but I really can't figure it out. Cute, though. He is curious about pretty much everything and his most recent adventure is How To Get Outside.

He blends into the floor!

We've (meaning the boyfriend and I) have discovered Cipher (the dog above) loves poptarts. If you even rustle the wrapper of one, he comes running and wags his tail so much that the whole half end of him is wiggling.
He's gotten really bad at begging, though. He used to just lay his head in your lap and look up at you with a pleading look, but now he makes noises and paws at you.

Cats can fly!

Note for concerned citizens and sleeper agents for the RSPCA:

My cat loves doing gigantic leaps off the ground at cat toys and the like. I didn't like, throw him or anything.
