Is he a kitten or just really really small?

I like it.

he seems like a fun guy.

Did you get to get close to them?

Unless you saw "his" fluffy balls, that almost certainly a female.

Very pretty though :3, want to pet

What odd coloring.

He looks like two cats in one.

I've seen lots of tabby color points--especially silver/gray-- they're not that uncommon but they certainly are very pretty.

And this is my old cat Dora who is now living with my mother. I sat on her before taking this picture. She was completely buried in the blanket on a chair. I moved it aside to see which cat it was and she just smiled at me and went back to sleep.

Dora one of the mellowest cats I've ever had.

And another of Dora, same chair, different day. This time sleeping with Baby kitty. I sometimes forget just how fat she was at one point. She even got stuck in the cat door once. She's since lost a fair amount of weight though is still on the chubby side. Makes her very snuggly, her fur is amazingly soft.

oh my god tubby tabbies are so cute.

Those tan cats were beautiful, and Vince was attractive too.

This thread is about cats not licking their balls.

cats licking their balls.

cats licking other cats balls work too I guess.

>breaking the knuckle

tell that vet he shouldn't be drunk during surgery!

I consider it pointless mutilation. I'd rather see someone give the animal up for adoption than declaw it, inside cat or no. There are plenty of non-surgical alternatives, like claw-caps, scratch pads, or just plain clipping them. I view people who do anything like this as lazy at best, and sadistic at worst.

having helped perform a declawing as part of a vet summer camp, I would never have it done to any cat. Its pretty brutal just by itself but its also really easy to screw up and leave the poor creature walkig with a limp the rest of its life.

Unless you're in the Mafia :3



Really though, there's so many alternatives that it's like an earlier poster said. It's just plain lazy. I rarely clipped my cat's claws and he stuck to his cat tree and emery cat. (and the inside of the couch... He found a flap in the back to get inside and scratch it inside there. Didn't care. xD )

I will also note that tendonectomies can go pretty bad too. 2 kitties I've had were done before I had them. One functioned fine, he'd chew off the outer layers but he did seem annoyed that he couldn't scratch (looked frustrated when he tried and couldn't). The girl, however, didn't chew them and obviously couldn't scratch. So the nail would get thick rather fast and even with weekly nail clipping, the nail could get so thick it was hard to cut without painful splintering. At worst, if I forgot for a couple weeks, the nail would sometimes grow in a thick nailed curve back into the paw pad directly under the nail. Once, this was happening and she landed on it bad when she jumped off the desk. Had to pull the pieces out with tweezers... Not fun for anyone involved. She also did the frustrated scratch (paw at the arm of the couch, look all sad and annoyed)

My family sometimes declaws our indoor cats, depending on the individual cat and how they use their claws.

I adopted one of my cats, Wilbur, from a shelter because he was very friendly. He got along with my other cat just fine, but he was very destructive. He'd had a stroke when he was a kitten which screwed up his sense of balance and depth perception, but that didn't stop him from trying to jump around like a normal cat. Whenever he fell short of something, be it a person's lap or the back of the couch, he would sink his claws in and climb on anyways. This was very frustrating, as you can imagine, because he would tear into everything trying to hang onto stuff. My legs were regularly covered in deep scratches and he tore apart some expensive curtains trying to jump onto a window sill.

He hates being held and is one of the strongest cats I've ever owned, and as a result I could never hold him still long enough to put nail caps on him or even trim his nails. After he ripped apart one of my antique silk paintings, I decided he needed to be declawed.

I am satisfied with the results, and Wilbur gradually regained his sense of balance and can now jump onto things without destroying them. I think I made the right decision.

Nice looking cat

pretty kitty :3

Above inscription appears on the back of this picture.

Don't you think he was right.

Wain went psycho and drew cats. Big news.

SAGE has been used.

Quite obviously photoshoped.

I come on this board and think I should get a cat, then I read something like this

>Torties and torbies are very interesting! They tend to have what the cat fancy calls "Tortie-tude". More than any other color, these girls have an "opinion" on everything. They will tell you exactly what that opinion is! At the same time, they can be one of the sweetest cats you will ever own.

and I think I'll give it a pass.

>>196
i love my tortie

>>197

I might like one, I just meant that I don't want to be lumped together with the sort of people who write that drivel. I will probably just keep visiting my Mom's and Brother's cats.

/cat/ needs more spooky

:3

That's not a kitty, that's a soot sprite.

>>80
I always thought soot sprites and kitties to be closely related. :3

Don't have any more of him/er but here's one similar

Oh... Ashe's tufty ears.

And tufty toes...

A banner I made for our tufty feets obsession. This is not from my kitties, but another amazingly giant cat posted here.

And I think that's about it.

So post all the kitties you want. /cat/ is so full of wonderful kitties. I would visit them all if I could, because cats are the bee's knees.

Also, this is definitely one of my favorite /cat/ threads... because it's true.
