All cats are chutzpahnicks, only some have more than others.

All cats have “chatspaw”...

I just took in a 5 week old. Weighs about a pound. Think I can make it through the chutzpahness..

In 1994, we took in a ratty looking Himalayan cross. She was an atult cat then, spayed, DECLAWED, abandoned and left to survuve as best she could. I’m SURE she has no Maine Coon in her, but she got by by developing the strongest paws I’ve ever seen. She would kill rabbits, and drag them up the driveway betweeen her front legs the way lions do on thos documentaries. She could also manipulate any thumb latch. Even now, if you can stir her to play with yarn, you have to have a good grip, because she’ll tear it right out of your hand.

Yes, the date is not a typo, and she’s still with us. I dread the day she no longer is.

Great post! God bless the little furballs. I have three, and could not ask for better animal friends. Dogs are great too!

Look, in fairness I love dogs and cats.

I really do.

How many of you have listened to Mark Levin speak of his dogs such as Sprite (His book: Saving Sprite) or Griffin who passed away December 19th, 2010. It brings tears to my eyes, and I'm sure to may of your eyes as well.

In my home we have three cats. The oldest, ‘Oslo’ (a shortened version of his full name) was found in a field when he was no more than nine months old. We took him in because it was November and the first snowfall of the season was falling. He was semi ferrel, but if we did not take him in he surely would have perished. What a kind and friendly feline he is.

Our other two cats are from our shelter and we are happy to have them.

The Original Posters story rings true with me as our ‘old boy’ - Oslo is getting rather feeble.

He contracted diabetes before he was one and we have been testing and injecting him with insulin for more than a decade.

The diabetes is taking its toll, but we sure love the little bugger.

It will be a sad day when he passes, but we know that we have done all that we can for him.

I apologize for this, but I think you all - well MOST OF YOU - can understand.

Thanks nickcarraway for your post, and to all of you dog, cat and America lovers who thought nickcarraway's post was wonderful.

Shame on you for removing my post, #12 on this thread.

What’s wrong with you?

My best friend "Squeaky," a great-looking tuxedo full of character, super-smart, affectionate, and loyal, passed on 29 December 2010 after being my constant companion for 18 years and 3 months.

God Bless You, Squeaky; I miss you so much!

Thanks for sharing this story. We have four (4) cats (2 abandoned, 2 shelter). The oldest is a 14 year old male grey tabby named Click. At 10 he survived feline ARDS and now at 14 he is beginning to show his age.

Click also taught us a great deal over the years. He is a alpha jumper for a feline and at no more than 10lbs has stood his ground from different animals 4 times his size. When the other cats (female) rejected a six week old abandoned kitten we sheltered, he (Click) immediately and patiently took to the kitten. He watched, protected, cleaned and disciplined the cat for over a year. Everyone that saw it were amazed.

We know his days are few now and there will be great sadness when he is gone.

Thanks again for the post.

Ouch, should have known how it was gonna end.

I have my 14 y.o. Mouser on my lap. When I got the lump in my throat, I got a ‘biscuit claw’ on the leg and yellow eyes lookin’ at me...

When it comes time, I don’t want it to be in a coldass country vet office: I want it to be here at her place...

Thank you

Eddie got up before we did. I knew that from the sound of breaking glass.

[Vendome]

that was a great story

Great story. Is there a focus control for my monitor?

I wake up to the sound of something crashing to the floor at least three times a week. I love cats; they’re the greatest pets (for me dogs come in second, although we always have to have at least one dog) to have and our dog gets along with them as well.

I don’t understand why people click on cat threads if they don’t like cats; it’s rather pathetic.
