FELINE FRIENDS- No rodents here Deb

[Deerie me]

Phyrie that's funny because when you mentioned Spyder on the Jaci, Foxtrot, Siren - lurking post. I was about to ask you if we'd ever seen Spyder but I didn't want to hijack the thread and then I came over here and here she is in all her beautiful, serene cattiness.

Tracy, I thought I had posted pics of her, but they're on Kiba's flickr page. I THINK this is the first time I've showed her pic here.

Oh, and I understand the umbrage some might feel when I say she's a birding cat. We've tried to prevent her, but we can't. At one point she was wearing three different bells on her collar, at the same time. My husband said, "All they do is give the birds a musical interlude before they die!" Since it's almost always starlings that she catches (which are a HUGE nuisance here) don't feel too badly for them. She eats them, too, (at least most of them. what is that weird bit they don't eat??) so technically she a "hunter for food only" hunter, not a "trophy" hunter.

LDB says:
hahahahaha, sad for the birds but at least they get some type of parting gift

Unfortunately my three are all accomplished hunters. It's just nature. As a keen birdwatcher OH does get distressed when they bring birds home. Ember does a lot of ratting which I'm sure our local farmers are appreciative of.

thanks tracy(if i may call you that)you remonded me of a story a few years ago. our neighbor moved a few years ago and turns out that some rats had gone under his driveway and the guy across the street, they have cats and sonic(the cat) caught them. turns out that the cats had killed rats with some disease(i forgot) that was very lethal to humans. thank god for animals!

Senor Don Gato. He really is one of the most affectionate cats I've had.

[Deerie me]

Is he very vocal Mary? He looks like he has some siamese or oriental in his breeding.

[mary in wonderland]

Tracy- He is around feeding time. We have no clue what he's made of. Just your typical street cat really, he was more or less from a stray litter.

Thanks guys!

When looking at his face in the first photo he has the very triangular features assosciated with siamese. My old cat Tilly was also very fine featured like that. He is a very handsome boy.

My old roommate had an orange cat that was similar in looks and he also had a spanish kind of name. His name was Muchacho, and he was the craziest cat I've EVER met!
