This is Jess in one of the first pics I took when I got her back in September 2007.

She is 21yo now and is still going strong.



She tolerated my last dog and continues to tolerate my new dog.

I believe the new dog brings out the kitten in her and it is a joy to see them interact and kind of play-chase around the house.

Never a huggy cat with the dogs, and did not and still does not like to share the same side of the double bed with the dog, which means I have to sleep diagonally with the dog on one side near the pillow and the cat on the other near my feet.
However, she is the boss in the house and I am her servant and long may that continue.

This is a pic of the cat and the dog together as seen in my avatar, with the dog looking astonished after she gave him a head bonk. Love this pic.



Last year, she underwent a general anaesthetic to have some teeth removed, and checks were performed first to make sure she would be able to tolerate a GA at her age, and she recovered and bounced back to her normal self in no time.

To date, that was the only significant health issue that she had, and is now on regular pain medication for her joints. Otherwise she is in a great shape and health for a 21yo cat!

She used to jumped onto the counter/worktop to eat from her bowl placed on the window sill. However, she does not jump that high anymore and eats from a bowl from the kitchen floor. I have to make sure the dog does not get to her food when she is eating!

Very vocal and demanding when she wants something, and eats small portions regularly nowadays, much to the dog's enjoyment as he gets to eat her leftovers. Otherwise, very loving and likes cuddles as and when she feels like it.

I am acutely aware that I am on borrowed time with her, and everyday is special.

Here is the pic as seen in her listing for rehoming back in 2007:



Don't know why, however, when I saw that, I just knew she was the cat for me!

I drove a round trip of over 200miles to meet her at her then home.

When I got there, her then owner informed me that she was a very shy cat. She came into the kitchen where we were, and went back out into the garden.

I followed her into the garden, and she jumped onto the garden table, rolled over and invited me to pet her. It was not a trap and she actually let me give her a belly rub, much to the astonishment of her owner and her family who were watching us via the kitchen window. I knew then she wanted me to be her next mum.

I drove back to collect her about 2 weeks later. She was rehomed as her then owner had medical issues and could not look after her.

Another pic taken shortly after she arrived at my house in 2007:



She was featured in my Crimbo cards in the past:



More pics of her tolerating the dogs:





Love her to bits, in case that is not obvious!

This is Miso.
He is 15, but still likes to play and race around the house.
He is spicy, so don't touch his back legs unless you want to lose a finger.

He tried to attack a bird through the window.

Beautiful photos.

Oh, I think this sums it up very much. Both of my cats are Balinese. Archie, the red point is a bit of a bully. He reminds me of one of those annoying high school footballers that are . He chases his sister Gigi from everything.
And out of the blue occasionally attacks, her. They are fixed. I don’t why he is like he is. She is small and she is sweet and she is mighty feisty so as he enters the room, she starts growling. She does not suffer fools.
We had to get an airhorn for crowd control when he gets in one of his moods.
They occasionally will lick each other‘s face it as a greeting so I guess it’s OK but they’re not the most bonded. They’re around two years old.

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

I predict they'll get closer as they mature.
Love the airhorn!

 

[MMtwo]

@Ibrakeforpossums my breeder says it’s the exuberance of youth . Hoping they calm down. When Archie starts his stare at Gigi (trouble maker mode) I just reach for the airhorn and he runs.
I’m glad you could get through that terrible writing. I feel really bad now that I went back and read it. I was using speech to text. Akk.

Our very adventurous cat, he likes sticking his nose in places. But such an intriguing little fellow, he has a thing for toasted marshmallows. What I mean by thing, he will plow through my daughter to eat her marshmallow after being toasted

 

[elizat]

Pretty well sums her up at times. Chubby, lazy and very comfortable with herself!

 

[MMtwo]

@elizat every time I see a cat that is stretched out with its little drumsticks and feet like that it just melts my heart.

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

I had a ginger polydactyl like that, spread-eagled every place he could find. Quite the hedonist, the only prey he ever caught was a walnut.

Gorgeous cats.

I am really enjoying everyones photos.

Here is one more of Gigi, being a big flirt with her daddy, who dotes in her to unhealthy levels . We adore our babies.

The many moods of Clio and Alecto, Burmese half-sisters:

phew
at first i thought that grey cushion was a sox
i was very afraid for that foot

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

so @Karl_K i am sure no one wants to see a picture of wee on my pile of clean washing - on the sheets
that would indeed capture her personality

Fluffy is a bit shy, she wont take a selfie

some days she is my little monkey

some days she is Duck

some days she is just a toad

and some days she is a naughty hound


but she is my Princess

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

PuffBall is more chilled out
sometimes if Gary is out of the room the walker goes too and Puff will sit on the table and look over the edge at where the walker is usually parked

sorry not the best photo as i have e no idea how to adjust phone camera and i was acroos the room and if i moved he would have woken up

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

The many moods of Clio and Alecto, Burmese half-sisters:

nope
im still afraid
that;s a leg not a cushion
but i find legs are usually ok unlike feet which seem to be fair game

 

[elizat]

This is Lucy. She's very opinionated, a talker, and tends to grump at you. But she's very sweet.

 

[elizat]

This is George. He is just under 20 pounds. If you think he's probably an excellent napper, moves like a slow movie monster, and really likes to eat, you have it right. He also has a super high voice - like a Mike Tyson voice in a big body.

He was a kitten that was living in a colony in an apartment complex that was one of something like 20 cats. We used to foster and he was a foster failure. He loved to groom all the baby kittens that came through our house when we fostered.

This was my Elvira, aka Ellie . She had catitude to the max, was not a cuddler at all, but loved tummy rubs. We lost her a few months ago and I still miss her every day

A tuxedo cat! We had a big male who ran the farm for years, he was a benign dictator.

The many faces of Min and Otto - stunning individuals, he likes to sit on her and be a general d*ckhead, she mostly wins the fights he starts but because they’re a bonded pair, they always end up cuddling and being sweet together.

They are very regal!

This is Leisel. She's a bit skittish, she doesn't meow but makes chirps and meeps, is affectionate on her terms only and at times gives off a vibe that she thinks everything and everyone around her is gross. If you think she is judgmental, she absolutely is. Ske was a foster failure. She weighed about 8 ounces when I got her and I pulled her off the euthanasia table at the shelter with her litter.

 

[Ibrakeforpossums]

Leisel won the cat lottery.

 

[foxinsox]

They are very regal!

They look it but are also goofy clowns who love to chase and parkour around the house. We call them the Agents of Chaos.

Min reminds me of the Spanish King Charles II with the odd facial proportions. And before you get upset with me, think: Charles II if he'd been a good human being (not) and come back as a cat. A beautiful cat.
