MARElyn Monroe

Tiny baby squirrel sleeping in a hand

Most beautiful horse in the world

world's most beautiful cat?

Cuteness overload

My cat (like the Fancy Feast cat)

Crow feeding cat, dog

And just for the heck of it; some eye candy for the girls. Alain Delon, French actor. One handsome dude, eh girls? LOL

And finally, just a pic I took (total amateur) that I like: Gull on bay in front of my house on the bay at sunset

Yeh, bet that kid doesn’t mess with that cat much any more.
Can’t much blame the cat much for not sitting there and letting himself be slapped by the kid.

[patriot08]

They’re beautiful!
The one where she is next to the xmas stocking favors mine a lot.

Did you know there is a lovely site on the net where you can create a memorial to a loved one? (people only, I would surmise)
It’s called ‘Forever Missed’ and it’s practically free (or maybe free- (I’ve forgotten) unless you want it up permanently, then there’s a reasonable fee. You can even add your own music

http://www.forevermissed.com/

I think I’ve seen free similar sites for pets available.

I have one up that I’ve paid to be up permanently.

Cute pics. But the baby “squirrel” is a baby chipmunk. Major “awwww” anyway!

You know, that little brat deserved it but I don’t know that I would trust the cat around him again.

I wouldn't trust that little brat around the cat. He deserved everything he got from that poor cat, and more. He really could have hurt the cat. You could tell the cat was friendly if he was sitting on the bed with the kid in the first place.

It's not animated, and none of them are purebreds, but here are my three cats. This is Apple, who came from a shelter. I got her as a birthday/anniversary gift to my wife.

And here's Patch. She was a stray living in our yard at the time we got our house; after two and a half years she decided we would make good servants.

And this is Monkey. Patch was pregnant at the time she moved into the house, and Monkey is the very last kitten she gave birth to.

What a treat! Thanks.

[MHGinTN]

Beautiful! And that face on Apple! Wow, such little blessings.

[patriot08]

YES! Gregory Peck!

What's happened to men who look like that?? They just don't make 'em like that anymore.

[patriot08]

You’re right. It is a chipmunk.
Should have know better since I used to go squirrel hunting with my Dad. :)

[patriot08]

There’s all adorable. Wish I could hug them.

[patriot08]

Purebreds or not..almost all cats are beautiful.
They’re just made that way.
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen an ugly cat.
They’re just so elegant and graceful.

[patriot08]

So glad you are enjoying it, sisterK

Or Robert Taylor? (Best know for 'Waterloo Bridge' and known in Hollywood as the man with the perfect profile) No one who looks like this to be found in HW What's happened to men who look like this? DiCaprio and Brad Pitt? LOL
