She is an odd one, descended from true barn cats who spent their entire lives outdoors; her hunting/stalking/pouncing instinct is strong.
Her brothers went to live on a farm, and eat live animals (I personally saw them eating minnow-type fish as they flopped around on the grass), and do not like to be picked up.
From day one I made a point to handle her often, and would carry her around on my arm to get her accustomed to us. She likes to be handled, and will tolerate our love, but she's not very loving herself! There is a 3-minute window of opportunity when we come home from work when she meows and follows us around; I use that time to hug and squeeze her. She still will not let us rub her belly though.

I made a fake motivational poster about her:

Hillary is very rarely the first thing to cross my mind. I tend not to concentrate on evil negatives. ;-)

Ah, you have a feral cat. They are something. Cats have their own personalities. Have a little black on, Murphy, who is a tiger. Was born outside to ferals; but loves to be loved with kisses and hugs; but will fight with the best of them. LOL
I love the poster. Had one siamese. She didn’t care for people; but loved to fight with hubby. He loved her and I did too. She was great. Only wanted to be with us. Hated the dogs. Even got on top of one their cages and started swating at the poor thing. She really did love us; though.

My daughter’s taking an online exam for a college course right now, and I promised her I wouldn’t do any big downloads until she’s finished it. It’s for Spanish and it has audio clips and such.

I've got a chihuahua mixed that is going on 13 years old. I know he's having some trouble seeing, which was evident when I took him for a ride recently in my Explorer. When I opened the door for him to get out, he stepped off the seat thinking the ground was right there, when in reality he was about four feet off the ground.
He hit with a thud, shook himself off and trotted away like nothing happened.

Click on my screen name to see my mastiff at 18 months. He’s almost 4 now.

Nice dogs. Is that a mastiff in the bottom left? Your niece is pretty. :)

She is my little minpin, she’s 11 now, iirc. I keep forgetting if she’s 10 or 11.

Great, wasn’t it. I have posted a link to a couple of boogie woogie dancers who are really fabulous somewhere on this thread. If you get a chance; take a look.

I love to see photos of mastiffs...I got mine for my husband, for his birthday 3-1/2 years ago. He said it was the best birthday he’d ever had...
I love the photos you put up. Are they your mastiffs? Are they by any chance the American Mastiffs from Flying W? Mine is.

No they are not mine. They along with the labs belong to some good friends of mine. You are not going to believe this; but I have heard of the Flying W. LOL
Angus and Rumor are both from Thousand Oaks Mastiffs. Angus is the nephew of Sherman, who until recently retired was the top mastiff in the country. Rumour is Sherman’s son. Watch Angus. He will be at Westminister for sure. I will find a pic of Angus and his sister, Barbie(owned by breeder’s daughter) It amazes me the size difference between the males and females. I think Angus is already at 225 lbs. He is 2 weeks younger than my shilohs and I have 114 lb and 100 lb females. LOL
I love the mastiffs.

Here they are. I think Angus is 8th in the nation now. They are littermates.
