Digby, my 17 year old tabby.

Blackie will be 17 now, went back to adorable Shrewsbury a fortnight ago for the first time in two years, she's still going strong, caught sight of her prowling the back garden, which backs onto the Severn (childhood home). The guy who now owns it runs the Salopian Brewery, for all you real ale fans out there! Long may she live!

Cats are pointless and needy.  Long live dogs!

Cats are definitely more astute and manipulative, but I embrace that, part of their nature. Dogs are clearly a bit dim, loveable all the same

Are you sure, most, but not those stupid hairy Persian types (ban me Don Rogers Shop) could easily fend for themselves, mice, rats, birds, squirrels are their natural quarry.

Exactly! What is the point of owning a cat?

Unless it's a tiger, lion etc, now that would be cool.

There is no point to owning any pet, but as Dostoyevsky said sometimes when 2 + 2 it equals 5, and therein lies the beauty and absurdity of our lives.

Ohhhh cats cats cats!

I want a hedgehog as a pet !!!

We have two pampas grasses in our garden, one sleeps on one, the other sleeps in the other one.
My missus bought a feeding station from Ebay, I thought she was fucking bonkers, but they use it every night. (Well, apart from when they had been in hibernation until a few days ago)

My cat. She's far far away in the motherland, I miss her

I like Mooshy Bennett!

I had a pet hedgehog not long ago, he lived on the balcony with the rabbit.

The (now deceased) rabbit was a reet proper cunt, not nice at all. He didn't like anybody or anything and would attack anything. As I said, a reet proper cunt.

He didn't like the hedgehog much either but there was fuck all he could do about it, not even a hungry tiger could bite a hedgehog. One day though the evil cunt rabbit managed to push hedgers of my 5th floor balcony.

The hedgehog just rolled until a ball while he fell 5 stories. After he landed, the hard bouncy cunt just un-rolled himself and toddled of.

Respect

Take fur colour out of it and all these cats look exactly the same, no charm, character or individuality at all... sorry cat lovers

Hedgehogs like dog food. Put some on a plate and you'l get a spikey visitor (or a fox)

Ha I love cats. I love the expression of the one above. "Erm, I don't recall giving you permission to take my photograph"

as opposed to a dog: "oooh what's dat fing I can see my face, ooo I'm gonna eated it"

I'm made happy by seeing people's cats that are 20

nice thread. How do you upload pics again?! Need to Wycliffe and Luther up here!

This was the pic I wanted to post originally but couldn't find it.

Juddie - I've got these saved on my website, so just clicked the insert image icon and copied the image link.

Our white cats called Smudge, high five!

Luther and Wycliffe.

Cats are for gay people who like bum fun and cottaging.

What's your point?
Are you against bum fun and cottaging?

I'm not fussed about pets at all to be honest, but the wife had always wanted cats since she was little but her Dad and Brother were both allergic.
I only prefer them to dogs because I don't have to take them for walks or pick up their shit.
Plus they have cat flaps so come and go as they please, so looking after them is pretty minimal.

Shes got black SMudges on her face & back and a black tail
But because she's called Smudge people always think she's a boy
I defiantly picked the freak of the litter though! :)

Juddie your cats are lush

what ginge said.

cheers JFW! i wasn't thinking that when a: luther bit a bird's head off saturday and b: vommed on my head sunday morning.

Eww bird brains in your hair!

I guess they're part of your diet over there BR?  8)

Cats or gay people?

it was messy.

More into bugs than cats.

So, as Bangkok Red doesn't eat pussy I guess it's the latter :)

Cyril - who went off to the great cat basket in the sky a couple of weeks before his 21st birthday.  Lived on a diet of grilled steak/chicken/salmon. :doh:

cats is nature

I have two cats...they are purrrfect.

Roxy and Laylah they be.

On a practical issue bite the bullet and get cat insurance,as they get older you will get stung at some time without it.

Yeah, we've got both of ours insured, good job really, one of them broke his hip a couple of years ago and would've cost over £1000 had we not had insurance, it's paid for itself already.

My cat broke her pelvis years back was extremely glad of cat insurance then!!

Shop around first. I found ours on Go Compurr.

Petplan.......£10 per month(per cat)......excess of the first £60.

We also do pet healthcare also £10 per month.....gives you all year worming/flea drops/vaccinations and yearly health check.
This still works out a tad cheaper than buying stuff up front,spreads the cost really.

So basicly for two cats we pay £40 per month...........the peace of mind(if they need an op etc) and healthy cats are worth it.

We're paying Petplan £20 per month, but our cat is 11 now. Cats aint cheap!

Nope....budgies are though :D

Wycliffe, you buzzing?

yeeaaaah

Our cat moved out when Jacob was born. Moved in with a 2 nice ladies a couple of doors down, won't even come near Amy or myself anymore. Grumpy old bitch of a cat.

This is exactly why I respect cats.

Nonchalant, single-minded, selfish fuckers.
