She's really a good dog... often she is mistaken for an assisted living dog. She goes with us everywhere we go. She goes with us on vacation and has logged over 1,000 travel miles with us.

[BBooper]

aww! faithful pet :D

:) One of these day's I'm going to own A dog again. Don't get me wrong I love my cat dearly but I also love dogs too. Now if I could just get my husband to want A dog:rolleyes: He's A cat person. I had dog's all through my childhood and I just adore them.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Dogs and cats are so different personality wise.... cats are more aloof sometimes than dogs are and I think that my dog is a better companion to me than my cat... plus I can't take my cat in the car, he goes nuts but my dog loves going with me in the car or truck.

[JennyBoop]

Oh trust me I know what it's like to have your cat in the car with you. The cat freaks out, my cat climbs in my lap while I'm driving, I have to have someone in the car with me just to hold her when I take her to the vet. :eek:

[Bikerbettyboop]

I bought a cat carrier for that very reason. I made the mistake of putting my cat in the car with me while I was taking him to the vet and he nearly caused me to have an accident! Plus the way he was howling, you'd have thought I was trying to murder him! It was not a good experience for either one of us.

Now if I get the cat carrier out.... he runs and hides!!

[bexi3]

Cats really don't like being put in those carriers - mine certainly doesn't! I don't like driving when I have my cat in a carrier on the passenger seat - even though I put the seat belt round it....she cries and I hate it! :( But she always gets treats afterwards so hopefully she'll remember that next time I have to put her in the carrier! x

[BBooper]

i think cats re for people who don't go out doors much and need comfort. and i think dog's are for the out-doorsie type :)

[JennyBoop]

Oh trust me I know where your coming from BBooper if my cay goes outside even just for A second she freaks out!!! :eek:

[BBooper]

lol, my cats funny when she goes out, especially in the rain or snow, she kinda sticks her head out, gets a drp of water on her nose then shoots through the house! :P

[bexi3]

So I got home the other night to find devastation in the house......bits of fur everywhere - kitchen door open - empty tin of cat food in the hall....so straight away I presume that my cat and my housemate's cat have been fighting (they don't exactly love each other). And there's my little kitty, sitting next to all the mess with sticky fur and a very small cut on her ear. Of course we shouted at the other cat for beating her up but it soon occurred to us what had actaully happened! We realised that Treacle (my cat) had been in the bin in the kitchen, got out the empty tin, put her head in it and must have got stuck, causing her fur to get all gross and cutting her ear! She just sat there looking like a stray cat - smelling gross! I think she must have heard the word 'bath' cos she soon started to tidy herself up - but it took her a good couple of hours to get rid of all the mess in her fur! It was actually very funny! We usually put them both outside whilst we're at work, but both of us thought the other one had done it, and left the kitchen door open....biiiig mistake! hehe x

[Bikerbettyboop]

Hey Bexi that's a funny story about Treacle... cats do get into mischief sometimes don't they?

My sis told me that the other night she discovered one of her cats had gotten into her pantry and got ahold of a bag of dried beans and there were beans all over her kitchen floor! She said she thinks the cat must've shook them everywhere!! She even found beans on top of her refrigerator!

[Aminal]

I've alway had cats and they can be as bad as racoons if given the right situation. Have you ever seen on cartoons where the cat walks on the shelf where all the plates are and proceeds to knock all the plates off on it's path to the other side?? Well I've actually had that happe. ( more than once)

[BBooper]

awww! bless!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Yes cats are quite limber but can also be quite clumsy too!

I had a cat once that was after a bird and she ran right into a closed door going after the bird. At the last minute the bird swooped upwards but the cat kept on running... nearly knocked her out!

I've never heard them compared to racoons before but it's a good comparison. My sis had a pet racoon for a few years! They are funny!! She called him Rocky the Racoon and he loved chewing gum! He'd go through my purse til he found my gum and then he'd unwrap it and chew it and put the gum back in my purse. He was funny... just like a little monkey.

[BBooper]

my cats are totally bonkers! they run around for no reason and all of a sudden spral themselves out in the middle of the floor or the newspaper...when your reading it!!! lol!

Ok, so I've just worked out how to use my picture phone and managed to produce this teeny tiny picture of Treacle lookin angelic!

[DEADPOOL]

I've got a cat proper grogeous little bugger, the only problem is its a little girl and we have loads, I MEAN LOADS, of male cats hanging around the house all the time!!

[10eke]

pretty good picture taken with a phone! I heard the quality would be poor taken with a phone!

[JennyBoop]

Oh your cat's A cutie!!!:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

Bexi your cat Treacle is so sweet looking... nice picture and this came from a phone?

.. isn't it amazing how they do that and then suddenly can turn into lions? ha.....

Deadpool is your cat spayed? Are you planning to have kittens? you will have if she isn't spayed.

[BBooper]

i'll try and hunt out some pix of my cute kitties! i'm sure i've got some of Jess as a kitten! cute!!

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

I want to see Jess too!!

[bexi3]

Treacle may look like a sweet thing but she's a little terror! You can see why she gets away with things though can't you! ha ha x

[Bikerbettyboop]

I've noticed that every calico cat I've ever had has been like that... a little tigress in calico clothing.. ha ha...

My sister worked for a vet and she told me that calico cats are always female and never males... don't know if it's true but it's been true for me and my calico cats... always females.......

[bexi3]

I have no idea. Treacle is the first calico I have had, but the tigress thing....spot on!

[BBooper]

and this is Polly. she died when i was about 10. i was really upset because she was older than me!!!! :( anyway..here she is :) she has a few eye problems as you can see. they weeped but i think that's just because she was old!! she also used to dribble when she was happy! :)

[bexi3]

Awww - I love kitties! x

[BBooper]

jess may look cute and innocent...but believe me she's a little brat! :P

[Bikerbettyboop]

Jess looked so cute when she was a kitten but I bet she does give you a run for your money now.. she just has that look about her doesn't she? A little mischief maker that one is!!

Rosie is beautiful... does she give Jess a bad time? or the other way around?

I'm sorry that you lost Polly (that's my mom's nickname) I had a cat named Scooter that looked like Polly and she died too and I cried for days. I loved that cat so much, I named our dog "Scooter" after my cat "Scooter"

I tease my German Shepherd all the time that she is named after a cat... ha ha.....

Hey, I didn't see any pictures of your feet in any of those pics. Did I miss it somehow?

[BBooper]

yup! jess is a little rascle! :P Jess gives Rosie some stick but i always tell her off! she usually kick's rosie out the way of the fireplace so she can lie there! evil cat!!

i didn't post the pic of my foot, i can't find it!!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

My dog Scooter likes to lay in front of the fireplace too. She thinks we build the fires just for her... aren't animals funny like that?

[BBooper]

yup!! the other day both of the cats were huddled together infront of the fireplace! cute!!!

[bexi3]

For some reason this picture is a bit green, but cute none the less! This is treacle having a quiet moment! :)

[Bikerbettyboop]

Treacle is sure cute and colorful too.

[bexi3]

Yes......just to clarify - Treacle isn't actually green! I took the picture on my phone using the night vision setting and it would appear that it has made it go green! haha!

[JennyBoop]

Hey Bexi my cat has those same colors, except now you through in A little gray.:)

[bexi3]

Awww - well you're cat is very old now isn't she? I'm not surprised she's a little gray! Treacle is still a kitten so no grey yet! She's beautiful! x

[Bikerbettyboop]

My dog Scooter just turned 3 on Valentine's Day and she is already getting gray on her muzzle... makes me sad to think of her growing old so quickly. I want her to live for many, many years.

I saw on the news that President Clinton had to put his dog to sleep and he was very sad... it would make me sad too. Our pets love us unconditionally and bring us so much joy... it's hard to think of life without them.

[bexi3]

I know! I've only had treacle since about june and it seems weird to think that before that, she wasn't around! It feels like she's always been there causing destruction wherever she goes! haha! x

[Bikerbettyboop]

Is she destructive or just wreaks havouc with you? The only time my cat is destructive is when he claws things!! Drives me crazy but I don't want to have him declawed.

[BBooper]

lol! a green cat! :P i think that would be funny..or maybe thats just me! :P he's a cuttie! :D

[Bikerbettyboop]

I had a white cat once who got into a paint can while I was painting and he had green splotches of paint on him. It was pretty bad.

[BBooper]

aww! my cat once dipped her paw into paint and then tried to run over the furniture!! thankfully my mum got a hold of her before she could!!

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

that's what happened with me.... my dad saw my cat playing in the paint and yelled at me to grab him before he took off running. He was a mess!! But it was my own fault.. I should've put him in another room while we painted. Oh well...... I learned my lesson.

[bexi3]

It's a bit of both!! She's just so mischievous! She gets into the cupboards - gets into the bins - knocks things off my window ledge. We have a table in the lounge which has magazines on the bottom of it, and she gallops through, skids on the magazines causing a huge mess, then has a mad half an hour just darting around the room! She's absolutely nuts! The thing is that I am a very tidy person - I like my house to be neat - but Treacle does her utmost to mess it all up again! haha!

[Bikerbettyboop]

Treacle sounds like an Abysinian cat. I'm not sure if I spelled it correctly. My sister has 2 Abby's and they are Egyptian exotic cats and they jump on her tables and will jump on your shoulders too! They get up on her fridge and just run around like mad cats until they are tired. Drives you crazy if you are a visitor because you feel like you are being attacked. They don't bite just surprise attack you!! My sister said they were bred to be people cats. I tell her that most people don't like being around them because they are so "in your face" with their actions.

My cat is mostly just fat and lazy. He eats and sleeps the majority of the day away.

How old is Treacle? Perhaps she will outgrow her mischievous cycle? We can hope anyway.

[bexi3]

Yeah, treacle is only 10 months old so hopefully she will grow out of it! It's not that she's in your face cos most of the time it's hilarious - just not when you don't want her playing with every single thing on the table.....!

[BBooper]

hehe! my ca skid's on the newspaper! :P she runs into it and hides under it!!

[Bikerbettyboop]

They are cute when they are kittens and it's easier to accept their behavior when they're small but when full grown they can be quite a handful.

[BBooper]

i agree! my cat rosie is quite old and she still behaves like she did when she was a kitten! :P

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

It's funny when they play hide and seek.... my old tom cat is past all that playfullness stage.. he just wants to eat and sleep and hang out with my dog. He's laaaazzzzzy. He likes to chase lizards in the summer time so maybe he's saving up his energy.

[bexi3]

Haha! I can just imagine the two of them 'hangin out!' That really made me giggle! 'Yeah, scooter - you wanna just chill with me?' hehe!

[Bikerbettyboop]

I have a sleeping bag here in the office that both my cat and my dog spend most of the day sleeping on. What a life!! They only come alive when someone walks through the door. Then all heck breaks loose. Scooter jumps up and barks and Smokey Joe my cat runs and hides under my desk!

[BBooper]

aww! is it your home office?

BBooper

[Bikerbettyboop]

No... it's my work office in our shop.

I have a home office and then an office at work.. does that make sense?

[JennyBoop]

Yea it does, my step mom has her own home office and my dad has his own home office they both work all the time too.:D

[Bikerbettyboop]

My work office isn't in my home..... it's in my shop. But I do spend a lot of time on the computer in my home office too. Seems like it's never ending.

[Bikerbettyboop]

Since this thread started out for Thor (Livingbooper's dog) I thought I'd share this picture with you...

[10eke]

aaaaaw! sweeet!!!

[JennyBoop]

AWWWW they are so cute. Animals are so cute.:)

This dog reminded me of my dog Scooter.
