Random pictures/stories of our furbabies

I'm back, sorry.

This time it's with Oliver enjoying some classic 80s pop music. Yeah he's got taste.
Make sure the volume is up.

ETA: Our lips, noses and eyes are sealed. Go away Covid 19.

 

[missy]

They aren't doing much (as usual as I never have the phone when they start doing something amazing) but the closeups are pretty sweet I think.


Oh this is one from when Oliver was a baby. Purring like a machine despite his severe corneal ulcer. He was so sweet. Sigh. What happened.

 

[missy]

LOL. Posted with my dh's permission. Reluctantly given but given nonetheless.

If it fits, I sits. It's hard to work from home with this guy around.

The toe tufties are adorbs

 

[mellowyellowgirl]

So petulant and always trying to trip us over for food but oh my goodness we love her so much.

She's so adorable it's like raising a live toy.

Aww what a sweetheart. Please give her a big hug from me @mellowyellowgirl

Oh my goodness, Tibby is so adorable.
I pulled a muscle or a pinched nerve maybe? I cannot feed the kitties as I can barely move my neck/back let alone bend and Greg is still sleeping. The cats are going crazy. Oh @Daisys and Diamonds I wish you were here to help me feed them. I feel useless right now. Poor babies are hungry. Please Greg wake up soon. Poor Greg. LOL. Tell Mr Tibby is Auntie Missy loves him.

Cannot go to any doctor or therapist for this especially now given Covid 19 rampant everywhere here... (what would they do I wonder-I never had this before so not even sure what it is....you don't think I could have broken a vertebra do you? OMG that would be worst case scenario and one of my big concerns).

The bath is at the beach house which is too bad because maybe that would help though I cannot lay down or slouch so on second thought it wouldn't help. Oy to the vey. It is constantly one issue after or in conjunction with another.

I keep repeating to myself that quote "One can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven" so I gotta keep strong and keep optimistic. So much happening right now that I am not even sharing here. But just taking it one day at a time. I had this yesterday but a heating pad helped and I thought it was improving but when I woke at 3AM I knew it was much worse. So I got out of bed and started the heat. I am just glad Greg is sleeping. Poor dear needs his rest. He is doing everything around here right now.

And of course as you wisely write 4 cats accosting me is not pleasant. I am sorry I cannot feed them but I just cannot bend at all right now.


OK because this is the furbaby thread and I have as usual gone off on a tangent here we go back on topic.

Tommy and Bobby late afternoon yesterday.

may the 5 darlings- including the sleeping human, give you much healing love
sometimes its role reversal and cats become the mother or father

i wish i could feed your mom and dad's ferels, then you could all go down the shore

if you lived here they are basically twiddling their thumbs at the hospital right now, with everything canceled or postponed and eberyone at home not having accidents or playing sports

when Gary cut his leg with the tree he didn't even have to wait at A&E

im so sorry things are so bad in your city right now

Is anyone in or near Detroit? Saw this in the IG story of a kitten account that I follow:

 

[chrono]

That is incredibly upsetting @JPie Older cats are one of the most patient with new additions.

I try not to be judgmental but seriously people like that are the worst. Lots of people in my area are looking for cats to have a pandemic buddy. Hopefully Detroit has the same demand.

I think this is one of those instances where no one would think less of you for being judgmental. I can’t follow the logic of “I don’t want my cat anymore, so I’ll put it down!”

Yeah these are the people I can judge without guilt. Disgusting. It's one thing to put down an animal who is suffering. That is, end stage cancer or another horrible disease degrading any quality of life left. But to say hey we have a new baby so our 15 year old cat is now disposable?

I'd like to put those people down.

Hello fellow fur-lovers! I want to share our newest family member - we adopted him from the same rescue as one of our other cats. He was part of a non-cared-for colony in Ontario, covered in fleas, lice, and motor oil, with terrible eyes and severe dental disease. The rescue treated him for everything, cleaned him up, and had his eyes removed. In the process they found out he is unfortunately FIV positive. He is the sweetest boy - never once has hissed or growled or reacted in any way when my existing brood met him and expressed their displeasure (they're all ok now). I need to get him in for a dental cleaning and he needs some teeth extracted. He learned his way around the house very quickly, and he's obsessed with food! Trying to teach him we don't eat constantly.

Awww he is such a sweetheart. @ecf8503 thank you for rescuing this sweet boy. He is so lucky to have found you! And as for eating not being a constant activity we are having that same battle with our 2 newest additions. And losing may I add.

Wishing you much kitty love and may he have a long healthy life with you!

He is so precious @ecf8503 Can you please tell us his name?

He is so precious @ecf8503, and he sounds like such a sweetheart. I'm so glad he is in a loving, caring home after all he has been through. Thank you so much for rescuing him.

I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms from the lack of pics in this thread!

Kitty always takes a shower after walking excursions to help remove bits of sticks and leaves stuck to his fur, and also wash off those dirty brown paws back to their pristine white colour.

Aww he's so good! When we bathe our cats it's a freaking nightmare. They LOATHE being bathed. So wonderful your sweet kitty is so well behaved and civilized! And very very handsome too.

He has such an Oliver face! LOL except for a mark or two on Oliver's face I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.

 

[MakingTheGrade]

@missy they really do look like brothers! Shales ears are white though which is often hard to tell from the pics I post. And it looks like Oliver’s are orange. Good to know we won’t accidentally go home with each other’s cats if we bring them to a Bling and Fur hangout lol
