Post your CAT pictures here! (2)

Oh, what a lovely kitty and so relaxed!

Bob the bum was loving life today. He's an 'indoor' cat without claws, but he spends an awful lot of time outside. He lives at my parents house where he showed up randomly one day as a stray kitten (chewed up ear, missing teeth). Despite not having claws, he'll spend entire nights outside in the summer months. I've broken up scuffles with neighboring cats, raccoons, opossums, etc.. He'll take a couple days off, and go back out on the prowl. If you don't watch him, he'll bring in 'friends….' I've had to remove mice, chipmunks and baby birds from the living room numerous times - not easy to catch! There's 40+ acres of vacant land behind the house. I often worry that he won't come home one day, but at the same time, he's got more freedom than most.

Just my opinion..But declawing cats or cropping ears and tails on dogs is a very selfish thing to do..!!
If your furniture is more important than your cat then get cheaper furniture..!!
Good job taking care of Bob..

I agree completely, and it really annoys me in fact.

Here's skelly(skeletor). When he was born he had extended rib cage and made him look skeletal in the mid-section. Vet assured us that he would be fine and grow into it. That was 7 years ago.

And my girl Peaches (Skelly's sister). She's fairly shy, but I love her. She can be sleepy to belly rub to bunny kicks in a matter seconds. haha.

If looks could kill, I suspect your camera would be toast...

Cooper says no declawing! The process actually means removing part of the cat's toe ( if you will) at the next joint. It is not like just pulling off a toe nail.


Cooper says thanks for the comments and likes everyone

Found a fun piece of plastic to play with today.

A couple more of this cutie.

Actually ear and tail cropping had its functional reasons and often still have, mostly when speaking about working dogs. Also these can be practical in everyday life, I know several dogs who belong to such "cropping" breeds and regularly suffer now from tail and ear injuries, ear infections etc.

I kindly disagree. It's all about appearances and nothing else. Mutilation is another word that comes to my unhinged mind.

Brother and sister love.

Same kitty but not a photo; watercolor I painted for a customer
