I guess this follows other hobbies, though I consider my cat to be a minor appliance, ... that bites. Anyone else have any?

I don't own them, but we have 2 cats running around the house.. An old lazy one, and a young hyperactive one that looks more like a werecat because of the length of his fur ;)
I also have some fish, most of them have died recently due to old age. Haven't gotten any new ones due to the fact that I'll be moving soon.
I've always had 1 or more pets when growing up, have had everything from dogs to birds to saltwater fish to salamanders to rats etc.

Always hated Cats, until of course my wife persuaded me to get one 6 yrs ago.
Bumpy (our tabby) is now my best little furry friend, dumb as a post but very loving, she's awesome.

I've a cat since I met my girlfriend, she had him before I met her, and I think he is the most friendly cat I ever saw. He allways come to you to be pet and rape your ear with his nose. Sometimes he is so affectuate that he really gets on my nerves. For the moment he lives in one of our carboard box and doesn't come out of it as much as he used too. He also wear the most stupid and appropriate name of all cats. He is called "petit chat", wich means little cat in english.  |

Oh what happened? It is very hard to lose a furry friend even if he/she scratches and bites. |

Sorry to hear this Aaron, but you have to think that she's had a good life. We've had many cats throught the years in our household and even when you know it's time, it's still sad. All the best. |

well then, sometimes a photo of my 2 Catzilla's:) the smaller is somehow a hybrid of cat and dog that barks rather than meow. My big left me 2 months ago after 13 years, and unfortunately, she is not watching, but on the picture.  |

Is that a beer bottle? Švanki looks drunk there I haven't posted much about trains lately, been busy with other hobbies, among other photography and cats, so here is mine: Great photo and how did you get them to pose together?! We have 3 cats and there is no way I could every get a photo like that. What are their breeds? |

Haha it looks like you caught Puccini doing something bad. actually he looks like that most of the time. hes some sort of weird shepherd/cattle dog mix and hes on alert all the time. very intense stare that with the orange eyes scares some parents. kids think he looks cool, go figure. jeff |

Hahaha... I think only fellow cat owners would know this, as I have shown this photo to some other friends and they didn't even bat an eyelid. It is indeed impossible to get them to pose together, this is a stitched photo done in photoshop; I knew what I wanted the final image to look like, so I tried setup their individual photos accordingly |

Well my cat bumpy ( whom I mentioned earlier in this thread ) has had a hyperthyroidism issue :(
The good news is that it's been treated. And looks like it's fixed :)
And the real news is
She's radioactive!!! How cool this that!!!
Radioactive iodine treats the condition and when the vet got out his Geiger counter it went nuts!
(who would have thought that vets have Geiger counters?)
Well now to change the little box twice a day for the next ten days aaa he poop is radioactive too hehehehe
Too cool a story not to share

Most of my animals are posted on this forum in other threads...our latest addition (January this year) has not made it as yet.
This is Phaal; a six month old tri-colour Boar. He is a lot smaller that our other Guinea Pig, but lives up to his name and is quite a feisty little chap...

I hope you guys don't mind, but I'm using this thread to try out embedding a Youtube video (my very first!)...hopefully a precursor to adding a few of our Japanese layout very soon. Of course being a pets thread, it has to be a pet video...Phaal is on TV!

I have a cat (actually the wife's) which, thankfully, stays off my work bench and other tables.
I've also ended up somehow with three turtles (red-eared sliders) which I keep in a massive tank in what passes for our living room.

I have 3 cats and I have found that train models and cats do not mix well, at least not with my 3 trouble makers. They love to eat fake grass and terrorize my tiny town. I do my best to lock them out of my train room but they are very sneaky. They love to be in stuff they shouldn't but I still love them...

Bad news and good news here. The bad news is that we had to have our son Anders's cat Sandy, who was only three years old, put to sleep today. He was incurably ill and was really going downhill after putting up a good fight. Obviously we're all pretty wrecked by this.
The good news, however, is that even though we didn't intend to do this, Anders recently met and fell in love with another cat who needed a home. So now we have Sooty, an 8-year maybe-Russian-Blue who's extremely friendly.

scott,
so sorry to hear that, its a real bummer, but sounds like the rescue of sooty will help the transition. sure sandy would have wished someone fill his place with anders when he was gone.

Sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is always traumatic, particularly for a child (I still remember how I felt about "my" two dogs I lost when I was a kid, and that was ~40 years ago). But a new pet is the best medicine for that.
