Good day 2 Beautiful Shadow!
See I knew u were really cool awesome; it's why we but heads over dumb things. My apologies Mister Who. +100 for the Tuxedo on his throne and also on a name like Thumby. This word is stuck in my head now I think I will use it too many times today.
My kitty holds no bars on her bad days - maybe u forgive her claws...
Hope everyone has a nice Monday & conquers their weeks challenges -
Thumby is polydactyl. She is a Blue point Siamese with "thumbs" on all 4 paws. It's sad that some don't understand that you must have the claw removed from the "thumb" or it curl's around and causes a wound that gets septic kind of quick. She was a gift from a friend who didn't know that. She already had infections in her front paws.
The vet cleaned her up and she's been "daddy's cat" ever since. To this day she sleeps at my feet or behind my knees, every night.
Her full name is Thumbelina. She likes the bud leaves. Nice and fresh before you trim them.
So does Haji. Haji is a Black and gray Tabby.
We also have 2 full blood Burmese - all black Smokey and Trouble. Smokey is a mama's boy and Trouble enjoys being around when you smoke. If doing bong's. He bugs you for the exhale. He take a cpl and lays down...
Pee Wee Herman is an American Short hair. He was a runt of the litter (Barn cats) and is rather small - say about 2 pounds wet. He loves to be held and walked around. While his size maybe small. His abilities are not. This cat is Bullitt fast and rules the roost.
Then we have another "daddy's cat". Barnacle Bill, the pirate cat. He's special as he is the lone survivor of a coyote attack on the barn cats a few years back. I was worried that something was wrong because all the cats seemed to disappear one afternoon. Later that night - about 11:00 pm I was out on the deck. He came up and mewed at my feet, curling around and around them.
I picked him up, as it was odd for a kitten at his age to come directly to you. He had one eye swollen up and closed. Looked like it was gone.
Off to the vet, first thing in the mourning.
His eye was there but had some damage to the retina. To this day, his damaged eye only partially reflects.
Bill is the most graceful jumper and has never stopped playing... Another "hold me" cat. Um, when he's not perched on your shoulder like a Parrot.
He'll curl around your head and "lay down" on you like a mink stole.
I'll see if I can dig up more pics of them and drop those in a post later...
I used to have a tall Savana. He was bonded to me and never paid attention to my then girl friend, who later became my wife. That was back in the film and negative days. Not sure I can find one of him. He would walk by leash, and got a shit load of attention at festival, and Blue's on the Mall.
He's long gone now. Still have his collar on the mantel...
That brings me to the Sphinx in your avatar. Do you, or did you have it at one time?
