What a lovely looking kitty!

Here is the family pet, Dakota, our pure breed yellow Labrador. She is a lovable and exuberant and intelligent dog. She starts dancing around whenever I tell my son it is time to "feed the beast." A really wonderful and protective dog.

Very proud of my Earl today. Earning his keep by keeping the pests at bay.

This is Eli. He came to live with us today. Rescued from a dog hoarder. He is a six month old Basset Hound.

Looks like he's about to step on his whiskers.

Is the "whisker" you refer to, not a mouse tail, or do my eyes deceive me?

 

[V.C. Brunswick]

Still those whiskers look long enough to step on. lol

He does have some long whiskers!

It is a mouse tail. I was thrilled to see him go after it. Earl's 13 and does practically nothing, even for a cat. Seeing that youthful exuberance in him was just wonderful.

Hi Tom

I had a cat born the year I was, 1961. He died at 15 while I was at Scout Camp. Not old age, he was asleep in the diner parking lot behind our house and got backed over by a semi. He had a front leg that was an inch shorter due to frost bite. He used it to claw Saint Bernhard's that tried to eat his raw beef liver. The Kal Kan Kat food, he left them have...

He came home after a weekend of cat carousing with a claw and two joints of another cat's claw still in his head. His head was huge from the infection. That was when he was 10 or so. I caught him in our garbage can eating a rotten tomato, he looked embarrassed, looked away, and snuck off.

His Vet gave him fish flavored stuff to dissolve his fur ball, you put it on his lips and he was SUPPOSED to lick it off because it was fish flavored. He scraped it off his lips on the concrete. Tough old cat. He was commonly called Kitten Gray but names weren't necessary because we only had ONE cat.

Wow! Sounds like quite the cat. Sort of the "Most Interesting Man" of Cats lol

I love hearing about that cat. My cat used to be a great hunter, he is only 4 and a lovely tuxedo cat who looks just like Henri of youtube fame, but is has sort of turned into a fat lard who only wants to chase roasting marshmellows around the house.

Where we live, outbound with a semi-rural feel, feral cats are a plague.
So our Abyssinian (Nala, above) is strictly an indoor cat, and she's only outside on a leash.
Cool cat, though - bike rides and kayaks with us.
You always hear that cats can't be trained, but she is one smart little princess (and knows it).
Very good about boundaries, and being an Abby, she wants to be part of everything - cooking, shaving, you name it, she has to help.
I can tell her to go find my daughter, or go sleep in my daughter's bed, and she heads straight there. Loves her walkies, and acts almost like a dog when she sees her leash in hand.

A couple of weeks ago, we took her to nature center trails along a creek. When we got there, she hit the trail for a mile-and-a-half, and pulled my daughter against the leash for half that distance.
She also expects to meet everyone and be adored, which is usually the case. When we were right by the creek, there were a couple of people sitting on a rock in the creek and she stopped at the bank and mewed at them, expecting them to come over and meet her.

She's 7 months now, and the photos are 4-5 months, so she's a bit bigger now, but the breed should be long and racy with a petite frame (angular face, and big eyes and ears).

She also tends to be all-the-way-off or all-the-way-on with a bit of a wildcat streak. All my daughter's stuffed animals are fair game, no matter their size, and she will take them to the top of her cat tree, looking like a snow leopard strutting with an ibex.
