But it would be mighty tough just to get ksen to take that first step of admitting he has a problem...True!
I can quit whenever I want...
To: HairOfTheDog
Definitely sounds like he (number six) fits the Lion profile. I bet he expects everything to be served to him and looks down his nose at other pets and even humans that share "his" space. He's easily bored and finds typical cat toys irritating and downright humilating.
BUT, give him a paper bag and WATCH OUT! He's found a cave to explore and it is now HIS HIS HIS!!!
I love lion-cats. They are more aloof than the other personality types, but they will let you know when they are getting irritated and give you the opportunity to back off before the bite!

I want to know why my name is in the keywords more than your name. Embrace the shame ksen. It will help with the healing process...

My brother WAS a violinist, but we've corrupted him...now he's a fiddler. ;-)I was amused once when I saw Itzak Perlman on tv talking about his 'fiddle'. My guess is that the man plays a Stradivarius or something similar and here he is calling it a fiddle!
To: RMDupree
Yes, he would never play with a silly toy, but he does love to bat my brother's little kitty around. He is VERY old now.... must be in his late teens, and fat, so she finds places to hide where he can't jump anymore. He doesn't really hurt her, but he seems to get a kick out of yanking her chain.
To: RosieCotton
Tam fits the "cubbie" profile. He's just a baby at heart and wants to love and play and just have fun. He isn't too concerned about the pecking order and gets his feelings hurt easily. However, he recovers quickly and is able to forgive and forget. The only drawback is that "cubbies" never know when to quit and they get into trouble often!
Count yourself blessed! He'll probably evolve into a lion at some point.

I was amused once when I saw Itzak Perlman on tv talking about his 'fiddle'Yeah, I've heard him say that. (He HAS been known to play a fiddle tune or two, though, so I GUESS he has a right to call the poor thing a "fiddle"!)
To: HairOfTheDog
He's just letting her know who the KING is! :)
To: RMDupree
He even looks like a lion, and walks like one, slow and deliberate, with his long orange hair, and I swear he has a mane. I don't have any pics of him... He is my dad's cat now. Dad wouldn't let me bring him here "he's too old to move" he said.... He sleeps on my Dad's bed now.
I like the lion-type orange Toms the best, I think.... This is my current. The one that is now blind (glaucoma)

To: ksen; Corin Stormhands
Oh, you guys are pikers and quibblers, come back to me when you've got a
QUADRUPLE precious! Then tell me how easy it is to give it up.....
I will share it with the dwarves (and OT) but never relinquish it.....BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
To: Corin Stormhands
I think you'd find most of us within just a few hours (or less) drive from those locations...Yep, we're just about 40 miles west of Boston. Just after 9/11, we fixed up a 'bug out' box with food, first aid kit, toiletries, etc. in case some idiot decided to set off a dirty nuke in the Boston Area. We were ready to just throw it in the car and head West as far we could get without having to stop to eat, and be ready to sleep in the car if need be.
We still have it in the basement ready and waiting; we just cycle the old dry foods out and put newer stuff in. I don't think we'll need it, but it's there if we do.
To: RMDupree
Count yourself blessed! He'll probably evolve into a lion at some point.Hmm....believe me, there have been times when I wished he would evolve into something calmer, and QUICKLY. We both barely survived his kittenhood. It got to the point where I was putting him in a crate at night because he was getting into trouble and making ENORMOUS amounts of noise (for such a little guy, especially!)
He's a lot better now - having Halvah around (when she was a kitten) helped a lot as they would play while I was gone at work and he would actually SLEEP occasionally. And now he has Fiona.

I love that picture of your cat. ;^)

I know.... It just boggles the mind! And the rest of us suffer without reward.
This whole episode with my friend and my horse tripping makes my laugh even more at the lines from the opening of Fiddler on the Roof... where Tevye says (about his horse) "Dear Lord, Did you have to make him lame just before the Sabbath? Me, I can understand, you bless me with five daughters, a life of poverty.... sometimes I think when things are too quiet up there, you say "lets see what kind of mischief I can play on my friend Tevye!" But what have you got against my horse?!"
To: g'nad
18 hours and 1 minute till bow season!!!! So is it safe to assume that you won't be with us during the day tomorrow?
To: HairOfTheDog
What a sweetie! Caught him mid-groom, it appears.
Lions are very proud. I bet he would DIE if he knew you posted that pic! LOL!
Because of their steady tempers, Lions are the most long-lived of cats. He'll hang in there for you until the bitter end, have no fear!
I miss my kitties. I've adopted a few and even had to bottle-feed several abandoned kittens (you wouldn't believe the evil things people do). Then, all of the sudden, I developed a severe allergic reaction to cats and thus, my kitty days are over. *sob*
I created the "cat personality profile" myself during my years at the vet's office. I think that pet "psychics" are nothing more than people who have had a lot of experience with animals and can "read" them according to personality.
To: HairOfTheDog
I need to see Fidler on the Roof again. Our first Biblical scene at Christmas is the wedding of Joseph and Mary (okay we take some creative liberties okay?). It's sort of like "My Big Fat Hebrew Wedding." Anyway, Mrs. Stormhands and I are playing Joseph's parents. So I need to act and sound like Tevye.
