Thread: Tell me about your pet(s)

I have a big ginger mog called Arnie - as in "I'll be back"... Although hes the softest daftest thing and not a Terminator at all. Im off sick recovering from an op at the mo and hes always by my side. I wish I knew more about computers then I could put a picture up like you guys do. I was looking at the pic of Titus the cat and hes so gorgeous. I work part time in a cattery and we get all sorts of beautiful cats. We get Maine Coons, but theyre a bit aloof. Out of all the breeds, chocolate burmese are the soppiest. They climb on your shoulder and purr in your ear.

I'm glad Arnie is there to help you recooperate - animals are great healers!

Titus appreciates the compliment - he's a big camera ham and loves posing for photos.

My other cat, Cloud, is a Tonkinese, which is a Siamese/Burmese cross. So he has a lot of those Burmese traits you mentioned. He's not happy unless we're carrying him around, and if he's on the floor and you're standing up, he will leap straight up into the air for you to catch him and hold him! What a character!

Here's some more photos of Titus - he loves to pose for pictures! (He makes me look like a good photographer, too )

Me and my girlfriend are concerned because everytime we take Max (her labrador) out for a walk, people coming up to stroke him always say 'awww I used to have a dog'. In our minds, the word 'used' stands out and we always wonder what happened to their dogs!

*shrug* it got old and died? There are plenty of reasons why people don't get another dog after their previous ones pass. Dogs are a lot of work, much more than cats, and since more people travel for business and work long hours, it's just not fair to have a dog with a schedule like that. My mom and stepdad are good examples of that - they both work 12-14 hour days, and my mom has said that when something happens to their 13 year old golden retriever, that they won't be getting another dog.

2 kitties - Bart and Lisa - Brother and sister - no images
And 2 goldfish, which have been alive for about 17 years now, by all rights they should be dead by now xD

aww Bart and Lisa - awesome names

I think your goldfish might break some world record o_O lol

Lmao, thanks, i think so too
The cats even resemble the cartoon characters, Bart is as dumb as hell and Lisa is the smart one xD

I've been in the picture taking mood lately Here are some recent pics of Cloud and Titus, both 4 years old, and Red XIII, 7 months old.


Cloud being mouthy.




and being cute, too bad its out of focus




Titus checking out the new screened in deck.




and sitting in one of the chairs.




Red, Titus and Cloud.




Red in the backyard. The leaves are starting to turn and fall




I love this one.

now i know where you got the cats names from.FINAL FANTASY 7. same with your dog RED 13 in other words yojos experiment!!

Ooh I had forgotten there was someone named Red from FF7. I would name a pet Vincent.

Red looks like he's concentrating so intently. I praise your dog's self-discipline!

In the morning Sofie will get right up to your face and really slowly get closer until she can lick you in the lips. Then you wake up suddenly with a WTF to warm sandpaper across your lips and accidentally send a white ball of fluff sailing across the room. And she NEVER learns. And if you're already awake, she'll try to lick your lips, and if you hide under the blanket, she'll probe her nose under there until se finds your lips, or even just the tip of your nose, and start licking, even if she can only barely touch it. It's kinda sweet, but not when you have to wake up to it.

Sofie sofie sofie....

Nice cats. are they 2 males? and if so, aren't they fighting?

Thanks, Oh yes they did fight a bit, but were best friends too. We had to put Tyler down last year, cancer.

Males will usually only fight if they are unneutered. Most neutered males who have grown up together, or otherwise don't mind each other, won't fight. Gender doesn't really matter like it does in dogs. I have to two male cats and they are the gayest cats ever, lol


btw, nice photos, onehandclapping Tyler was a very handsome boy, and Norman is as well

How many pets do you have?
I Have three cats and one is seventeen and the others are from outside and are 3-4

What kind? What are their names?
Max Shamu and Sheeba.

And what are some things that make your pet unique?
Max is adorable and he is friendly
Shamu is not friendly but is beautiful and friendly only to me sometimes.
Sheba is anti-social but has been getting better with age
Do you have any funny pet stories?
Well once with my old cat we put glasses on it and took a picture(not sheba. Oh and Shamu ran into the fridge once.

Elite, how is your 17 year old cat doing? Mine's almost 13 and I'm nervous about him aging every day.

I like beta fish... but dayum, so many people keep the poor things in these teeny tiny containers and treat them just as a piece of art to look at or something. I guess they don't realize that they want to, well, swim. They sell them in little cups in pet stores. One of my friends bought her beta fish a 2 or so gallon fish tank, and that thing swam around happily all day!

I'm sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can keep her comfortable for as long as possible. Give her a pat from me
