What does that mean?

Imagine this cat on a cold winter night jumping into the bed and onto your chest.

[Rurudyne]

Aside from living in Texas and too far away I’m not sure what my 10 pound cat would think about a new big brother.

It’s like the history eraser button in that one Ren and Stimpy cartoon, only I can’t press it to find out what happens....

[Jamestown1630]

Someone with a little ingenuity could make a small fortune out of that kitty.

[Equine1952]

If I was within 100 miles, I’d go try to get it. It would make a great companion to my little grey tiger Maggie, just 2 pounds of rescue pain in the Arse.

Or him getting their first and planting himself smack dab in the middle of the bed. And refusing to budge.

Morris Animal Refuge.....

Is the place named after Morris, the famous 9 Lives cat food cat????

[Veto!]

Yep. I saw this kitty on Twitter, where my cat has her own account, and loved him over there. You’re right about putting him to work.

Remember Morris the Cat? He was the 9Lives cat food boy. He came from the Hinsdale Animal Shelter where my mother volunteered. She loved him. And an ad exec learned about him and made his career.

I wonder if it’s all cat, or has some mountain lion in it.

[PGalt]

Can the kitty drive, like Toonces?

They all have a little mountain Lion in them. It’s not the Lion in the fight, it’s the fight in the lion. Imagine this cat laying on your lap purring. Your watch would run backwards. 😂

[Chickensoup]

I dont know, that cat has a face like a really slow bouncer. eyes too close together or something.

[PAR35]

No description of the tail. Looks a good bit like a bobcat.

[Equine1952]

Mountain lions are the largest feline that purrs. As far as ability to cross breed with domestic house cat or bobcats doing that I don’t know, but it’s one big kitty. You’d need a big litter box and forget your furniture when it sharpens it’s claws.

It’s a cute cat.

[SuperLuminal]

Have to assume that they have had to hire people who speak Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.. to handle the phone calls...

My cousin has a 26 lb beautiful cat, gray with white feet named Sox. He’s almost as big as my cousin’s beagles. He was stray kitten who showed up in their yard years ago.
