People ask "How did you get them to pose like that?"

two words. Reddi Whip.

My wife could call our first cat from the far ends of wherever she was hiding by faking the sound of a reddi whip can.

Who knew I thought whip cream was a dog thing

That's what I thought too. Never knew cats liked it and I've had cats all my life. Guess I've been depriving them. lol

Never too old to learn something new.

It's dairy, cats love dairy. My little girl (twins, the one on the left, we lost her last year) she LOVED bacon.. it was like crack. Any time wifey would make bacon she would wail until she got some.

My cat loves the smell of bacon but any time we gave her some (cut in small bites) she would just sniff it and walk away.

Dairy is not supposed to be good for cats even though some cats like it.

For those who remember that we lost our beloved cat a while ago, we have completed the application for a kitten rescue outfit -- hoping to get two *indoor only* cats when we get to the top of the list. (I'm glad I talked my wife into the indoor only aspect -- too many dangers out there.)

This organization that finds homes for kittens charges $350 per animal but what that covers is a weaned, litterbox-trained, neutered young cat.

She’s no longer with us but in her time she loved all things dairy (including Cool Whip)...

Good move Larry...As I've posted before, my wife does the hard work getting rescued kittens ready for adoption. She's currently dealing with a litter of 5 cuties (mother is as ferral as they come) who will be turned over to the rescue for the process.

This should cross post to the 'what are you sipping on lately' thread.

So..... my friend just got back from Hong Kong and she brought one of her cats back a hat.

I'm not..... entirely sure he appreciated the sentiment!

A RoboKitty update:

It's been a while since Max damaged/tore/shredded his Achilles tendon, and recovery continues.

He just had his second treatment of PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and he's continuing to get Shockwave treatments every two weeks.

The vet is seeing some improvement and that's a good sign. Surgery isn't really an option as (in the Vet's words) the tendon looks like a frayed rope under ultrasound and there's nothing to repair or surgically attach it to.

Part of the problem is that he's been on a long-term steroid for an intestinal issue. That solved that problem (and kept him alive), but created other problems in that it weakened and shredded the tendon. We were able to find one.... ONE.... pharmacy in Denver that would compound his steroid to a lower dose, so that (and a change to more easily absorbed food) seems to be keeping the intestinal issues at bay and allowing his tendon to slooooowly heal.

The Specialty Vet has literally said he's "the best cat ever" under her breath while she's working with him-- he's *completely* mellow and chill with her manipulating his leg all over the place and doing Shockwave treatments.

He's more or less adapted/resigned himself to the boot now, so he's got free range of the house-- but since the hard bottom of the boot hits the hardwood floors, he sounds like a peg-legged pirate when he wanders around. We've been calling him "Captain ThumpyPaw". He's figured out how to make the boot thump louder when he wants something, so now when he feels it's time for food, he thumps up and down the stairs repeatedly to get our attention. It would be funnier if he didn't do it at four in the morning, but he IS a cat.

So, overall-- things are going as well as they can at the moment.

This is definitely good news, Llarry. $350 per animal is not unreasonable. Curious, how did to talk your wife in to it? Did you bribe her? LOL

Please post up pics when your new family members arrive.

No bribe needed, Esteban: Logic won out.

Will do on the pics.

Glad you convinced her. Your cats will love you and live a more healthy and longer life.

Pepper vs. the deer.

First off - there's way too many cat pictures in a row...a moderator should do something about this, but since they're asleep, I'll try to fix this my way.

Got the outside furniture set up...which makes for some nice relaxing lazy evenings. Goofball likes it.

Secondly - I'm (sadly) still holding up to my side of the bargain. This guy is currently 6 weeks old (picture may be a week or so ago). We've been interviewed for adoption - and have been approved. They even called our vet to discuss our dogs' demeanor - which they got raving reviews (of course).

While this may be the guy...we have not pushed the mom aside. My thoughts are, if she doesn't get adopted within a few weeks - we'll take her in too. She's young (have pics of here too - looks spot on to this one) but was told she will find a good home quickly.

It will cost my wife an additional 991 911 GTS 7MT if we need to home her. Deals for this is in place...so quietly, I'm currently looking for that too.

Need some names, because I'm not calling it what my wife tried telling me. Trying to tell her it's Bimmer...but don't think it's sticking either.

Here's the little stud cat.

I heard someone is looking for more dog pics?

First is an old picture I came across of the late, great Angus.

Next is Winston and Ginger taking over the couch in Asheville.
