·3 years agoThis is my sweet boy Shadow. We have had him for 15 years, so he is older than that. We lost our cat Teddy Bear last September and he is still missing him...we all are.
Likes: walking across my computer keyboard and typing 7s, getting in eBay boxes, chattering at chipmunks and birds, giving wet nose, food, lounging around, waking me up for food at 5:24, hanging out in my office while I list items
Dislikes: the doorbell, any phone on speakerphone, loud noises, being 'put' somewhere, being held by anyone other than hubby

·3 years agoI'm in serious mooch-deprivation mode these days. This would-be crazy cat lady was petting someone else's dog.🤣 I was owned by cats for 50+ years.

·3 years agoSo sorry about your ms...they were toying with that diagnosis for me, but finally settled on fibro...but, I lost my last friend a couple of years ago and waited for almost a year and couldn't stand it, and although with my diagnosis I worried about getting a pup, I went for it and got Doodle Bug. There are days when I really don't want to even get up, but I honestly think that having him, and having him love me the way he does, has helped me considerably. Depends on how bad your mobility is, but I truly believe having a furry friend makes us all feel better. And with cats, you don't have to take them outside. I'm lucky because my family takes him out when I'm having a hard time getting around. But when I sit down and he climbs up next to me...with one of his blankets...everything seems to feel better. They say you live longer because of our pets...if that's true, then I'm going to be around 120 before I go.

·3 years agoOn the left is the late great 'Rental' [walked in the door in 1999, lasted till 2019] and sleeping on him is his cat Rosie. He picked her out of three kittens in 2004 - walked down the line, turned back and 'meowed' then knocked her over, meowed again and waited for her to chase him. She did and that was that.

·3 years agoMy moocher steals my coin flips and chews them, and steals my coins too. I gave her a jar of pennies to play with but I was afraid she would push the jar onto the floor and break it. She bit me when I confiscated her jar of treasure.

·3 years agoWe've some of thems!
There's Buddy or "Mr Buddy The Jingles," He's quite old, former neighborhood "Mob Cat," he a pure capitalist and into extortion. Then there is "Gidget," she's a Snotzi. We've a Norwegian Forest Cat, "Princess Catarina Purcillapuss," and believe you me, she's royalty!
Last year we'd come back from camp and time and again there was this Grey coated male cat hangin' about... So give him some chow. Friendly, well kept. Figured he must have a place but then we found him sleeping under our porch. Named him "Alfredo Snake Pusskin." Come Winter and some cold weather still was hanging around so coaxed him unto the porch. Asking around neighbors we get told he's been eating at two other houses as well. We think some neighbors few doors down who lost their home in foreclosure just booted Alfredo out. Well, we took him in and thought him a Russian Blue yet when at the vet to get his shots and well... DeMaleified we were told he's a mix, so... "Russian Stew." He's awesome and yea, he is rather Putinesque wanting be a dictator. Capitalist Mafioso just looks at him as if his not sane, the Snotzi hisses and ready to do battle at any moment and he learned quite early on, "Don't mess with Royalty" when he charged Princess Purcillapuss. The first time she just stood there as if to say, "Seriously dude?" The second time it happened she rolled him and as he tried run away she was literally atop his back hanging on. That was the end of that!

·3 years agoThe obvious name for your Russian mix is "Borscht".
The DH once saw the furry butt cat running through the library with the tuxedo on her back - he said he had no idea what had been going on but they scooted through and were gone.

·3 years agoMy moocher is a shaggy little 35 pound Labradoodle who thinks he's earning his biscuits by eating all the paper trimmings that fall on the floor when I'm working on a Junk Journal. He's done this so often, when I call him to me, he opens his mouth for the inspection, then licks my hand to say thanks, mom, that one didn't taste so good. Love those fur babies!

My 3 little ones didn't like going 2 places. The vet and the groomer. They knew when they were going because you could see it in their faces. These dogs didn't like going bye bye plus they would never sit still and Kimo always wanted to drive! lol

I just have to throw my Charlie in here @stuff4divas who likes to make me laugh while working 🤣 That's something right?
stuff4divas
OP3 years agoAwwww! Look at Charlie! Must they ALWAYS do things that are so cute? Do they do it on purpose, or is it just natural, or both?
@elizabeth@ebay yes, they really are contributors, helps to take the 'edge' off LOL

I believe Charlie knows he's a stud @stuff4divas as with most cats haha. They know we're obsessed with their cuteness!

I had yorkies for years. A family of them. Their personalities were so funny sometimes. They loved everyone, even the evil mailman, but that's because I think they thought he was the pizza guy. Thanks for sharing.
chapeau-noir
·3 years agoI had a coworker who would bring her Yorkie into work on Saturdays when we had a skeleton staff. Skippy would trundle into each cubicle to say "hello" to the occupant before going back to his human's desk and quietly curling up next to it. He was a little bright ray of sunshine on some of those days when we were working overtime!

·3 years agoMy cat assistants are both gone now - died at age 18 and 20. But when they were around one was my official 'box checker' - jumping into each box as I was packing to inspect it for integrity and tensile strength. The other managed the tissue paper - I'd give her a wad of it and she would bat and shuffle it until it was unwadded and perfectly flat, then sit on top of it and meow in triumph.
Sisters from the same litter.
 
The fluffy cat was an outdoor/indoor cat, and had velcro fur.
 
I made this collage of the tuxedo.

·3 years agoA rescue Havanese. I found him in Nogales Arizona almost 10 years ago. He was just 5 months old and had been dumped. We think it was a backyard breeder because one eye has white eyelashes and pink skin. He is a real joy. Actually doesn’t particularly care for his cart, and prefers to get up on his back knees, and push up with his front legs, and he is off like a bat. Of course having tile floors help speed him up to his destination.
He has been through a lot in his life, but handles everything very well. He loves his morning and afternoon dog stroller walks. My husband is well known in the neighborhood for the dog in the hot pink stroller. Disabled dogs manage much better than people. I paid $10 for him, and have over $10,000 invested in him. He had a botched ruptured disc surgery 6 years ago.

·3 years ago@frugalmarketplace Animals are practical philosophers - they just get on with it. I used to keep birds and once one of the lovebirds bit off the toes of one of my ancient parakeets. Despite her age, the parakeet, who had lost her balance without her little grippy toes on one leg, trained herself to land, roost and take off with her toeless foot. I watched her train herself.
We can learn a LOT from animals. Your little guy is a star!

I do not have cats, however, I have a dog that mooches for smooches while I am out in my workshop making ornaments. We built her a little platform so that she can mooch a smooch without jumping up on me.
tinsoldierunderground
·3 years agoMy 3, all rescues, have that mentality. One in particular, seems to think that EVERYTHING in the house is there for his amusement. From ball point pens to car keys, kitchen and bathroom sponges, you name it.
Having cats is an adventure like no other.

I recently got a cat. She was a stray. Someone who lived in my neighborhood moved and forgot about her. She was so sweet I couldn't say no. I've always had dogs and I am still learning about cat behavior and dynamics...mostly concerning my furniture...ugh.
This is her the day after Cinco De Mayo...my kids call her "El Gato boracho" (drunk cat). She's good company and I'm happy I made the decision to keep her. Thanks for sharing. PS Her favorite place to hang out is under the bird feeder. lol.
