New grey cat in the backyard. After a brief standoff, Squeaky seems to have accepted him. I got a picture of them sharing the food dish- well the grey is looking at me in the picture.

(apologies for the quality, the kitchen window needs to be cleaned)

It was so funny earlier, when he backpedaled away from Squeaky despite being 1.5x as large.

We always refer to Squeaky as a male, but it's not clear what sex 'he' is. None of the cats will get too close to me, except for Bandit (who isn't even afraid of the lawnmower noise!). Squeaky does this thing when I'm putting the food out though. He'll start to rush the dish and then turn around and run off around the corner, like he suddenly realized I was still there.

Oi, I just made my parrot her own thread concerning her health. I was just now ranting to my brother about how much I detested the fact that everything has been turned into something someone can profit off of, including the health of living things that I love. Though I guess I would sever a pinky if I had to if it would save that little clucker.


Our German Shepard Macgyver is being put down in January. We are are keeping him through the Holidays, but age has succumb and he has a lot of trouble picking himself up off the floor. He also has an eye condition called Pannus. Which is a very unsightly and sort of revolting condition that causes tissue to grow over top of his eye. He smells bad too.

Two years ago, though, he was still pretty cool:


One of the Fiddler Crabs, Mary, is missing a leg. Maybe Peter-Paul chopped it off?

Ferty the bunny died of old age not too long ago. I believe he had a phobia of humans, but was content with being left alone and fed carrots.


Tucker Biscuit, the Snoodle has a tendency to shake and pee.


Both Louie the cat


and Strider the ferret are just straight up obese:


Athena was my friend's pregnant cat. She came to live with me in my bedroom for about two months. She had the eyes of a Goddess.


We saved this pigeon we named Hepatitis with a hurt frostbitten foot. She was burried in the snow on the way to piano lessons:


Rafael could not fly. He didn't survive, but we looked after him the best we could. He must of been a sparrow or something.



Quote:
I don't have pets. But if I did, I'd join the discussion. I used to keep, raise and show Siamese Fighting Fish.
We used to raise Siamese samaris too. The whole kitchen counter was once covered with bowls of babies. It was fun to watch the birthing process where they build a bubble nest then the male squeezes eggs from the female and collect them. It's very dramatic and kind of romantic.



I love various creatures.

Here's the elusive Felis peeoneverythingus, otherwise known as Kali Alleycat. Our photographer has spent weeks trying to document this shy feline with a good camera only to give up and capture her on an iPhone instead.

This is V "helping" us pack for our trip. I think he doubled in size when we were gone.



They're both being fairly cuddly-uddly since they got back from jail. They're not that much more physical than usual, but they haven't let us out of their sight since they got home. It's nice, it makes it easier for me to keep an eye on them. :aww:

We went furniture-shopping today, but we didn't find anything we liked, so we blew our wad at Target and Petco instead.

We got them one of those tall, carpeted cat-condos. They dig it. It has a sleeping enclosure down low, specially for Q because she doesn't jump (wtf?), and it has a couple of levels up top for V to climb around on.

We also got them a Roomba :snicker:. They are totally curious about the it, but we were only able to run it for a minute because it's not fully charged yet. I'm more afraid of that thing than they are, so I'm looking forward to good times once it gets completely juiced up. I haven't determined how effective it is against pet hair, but our regular vacuum just moves Q's long ginger mess around our very dark carpet. :brooding:

Finally we got them an extra-large, covered cat box. My armoire solution from the cat logistics thread just isn't working out. Too messy and smelly, so I figured go for something specifically engineered for the job in question.

I assume you will decorate the Roomba with Star Fleet insignia?

Hey, does your kitty jump up or get on the bed at all? I have a suspicion that Q wasn't allowed on the furniture at her old place. Either that or she just really really loves the floor.

She gets on the bed and the couch. They were allowed on the furniture at my friend's house. Maybe she just loves the floor. Mine loves shoes, too, btw. She sleeps between my slippers.

I would have thought all kittehs loved being above everything. Some folks have gone so far as to install, dunno what to call them, runners at near ceiling level. They say it keeps kittehs off the counter tops and tables, too.
