Actually, looking at it again, Jinx, you look like a midwife with a tough 'splainin job to do.

The name is little bit, and he runs this place.

...and this is Omar the old man of the house.

This is Gizmo relaxing

Attachment 21232

And yet he knocked the statue of Bastet I bought at the King Tut exhibit off the table and chipped the ear. Pissed me right off...
He is very sweet though - thanks guys.

I love the relaxing cats vibe we have going!
Joe & Ali - you have lovely cats.

I'll try to get Mum to take a pic of Diz in his relaxed baby pose in my arms, but to be honest, he is such an attention whore that he won't chill out when there is movement around him.

What I need is a motion sensitive, night vision camera. Oh and make it semi-X-ray as well (I'm making it up, I can have what I want!)

Because he is at his cutest in the early mornings. This morning I woke up to find one paw on my cheek. He was lying as if he had his arms around me, but being a small cat and me having a big fat face he only got one paw up. His back legs were against my upper chest and his head was on the pillow.

This is mostly because I lost the lead to the heated pad he used to have in his cat bed :( In truth he could snuggle down in the airing cupboard or on the storage heater - but Singas are people cats, so he settles down with me.

Because I was up early - for me (signing on day) - I left him asleep while I ate and showered. When I came back into the bedroom he was in the same position - covered up with the duvet, head in the pillow - so cute I was tempted to get back into bed. I didn't of course.

Anyway, back to pictures - I will supply one sometime soon.

Ivan
 

you know how you take your kid to get photographed, and they arrange the hands on a drape? Ivan always does funny positions with his paws, and I caught this one on my new iphone:

Cloud, Ivan has trained you well!
He assumes the pose, you get the camera ;)

Here is Diz last night. Not a bad attempt - at least he is still more or less in the same position he was before I drew the duvet back. This is the few seconds in between dead to the world with a smile on his face, and wide awake wanting to be entertained.

The odd lighting effect is the bedside lamp - if I'd crossed the room to put the main light on I wouldn't have got the photo.

Awww. He looks very comfy. I love the delicately curled paw lol. Very lionesque.

Again, not RFN. Sunday.
But this thread is as good a place as any I reckon.

What I say in the clip is true. This is Diz mewing, in a pathetic big-eyed way.
Usuaully if he feels he is being denied something he will SHOUT!
All attempts to capture this have been unsuccessful, so this is all you get.

Just hope PETA don't see it...

Look how sweet...

I can attest to this.

I think part of the problem was that it was me filming.
Most of his attention is therefore on me.

If my parents are in the kitchen, ALL of his attention is on the prize (in this case a turkey, sometimes just the door to the garden, or even the cup of tea they have just made, until he gets shown it with the classic family line, "Cats don't like..."). That is when he starts to yowl - as Dana is witness.

When I am there he tries the charm offensive.
I live with the Charles Manson of the cat world.
But I love him.

I just saw this one, it is great!! Ezmeralda is so bug eyed in that picture.

Diz haz great big eyez! What a cutie!

love the clip, SG!

To even this up with the dog thread. Diz, before lunch today.

I want Diz! What a cutie. SG, you've gotten me seriously interested in his breed. I would love to have a cat as personable and snuggly as him.

Jinx and Ducks might disagree, but I say if you have time enough and love for a pedigree, buy a Singapura. They are distilled essence of cat - all the things cat-lovers love, but in a tiny, springy, muscular package.

If my ship ever comes in I will get another (though I'd have to drug Diz for a few days until he got used to a newcomer). In the mean time I'm just grateful that I still have my boy with me. Even my Mum now understands why I stayed so long in Leicester when things went wrong, just because I was terrified of having to give them up.

Pewter, one of the katkeeper kats.

Izz MAH box-fort!!

Tajjy sleeping in my computer chair.

Gaines showing off his long arms. He loves his arms.

This is from my cats:

Meow, rohr rohr mau mau mreow mowmoh rwahr.

Hey, dont' kill the messenger, they said it.

My cats plummeted to earth about five years ago and I rarely take pictures of them any more. Before that, I'd shot thousands.

Strange how that works.

Why would anyone shoot thousands of cats? You musta been a farm guy.

It was them or me.

Cleopatra:

Lady Cleopatra is beautiful and well-named!

Playin with the boy - not quite RFN (had a lot of images to download) but I promise you he looks no different in the interim.

My boycat Slick & Rocky the Thieving Squirrel. (RF 5 yrs ago, but the back of his head still looks the same)

Look at the fucking size of that squirrel!

Wouldn't like to try getting one o'them into a catapult...

Katkeeper's Corvina on the new doormat.

What a beauty!

Hi kitty!

Looks like a sweetie.

That Kitty looks like it leads a rough life. :lol2:

I had put the mat down to show to a friend, and Corvina decided to take it over, making for a good photo op. It is especially appropriate because she has done more than the usual damage to the furniture! Fortunately I decided long ago that cats were more important than sofas and chairs.

Here is Kung Pao Kitty.

I want one of those mats!

and I agree--I value my pets much more than my furnishings.

I got the mat at a store called "Tuesday Morning". They sell odd lots of leftover merchandise. They have a "Beware of Dog" mat that has chunks bitten out of the edges of it, which is also very funny.

I long ago gave up on keeping any decent carpets because of my dog...I don't care:) I love my dog....carpets? meh.

A friend of a friend recently had to give her two dogs up. Work commitments were getting to the point she never saw them and was spending half her wage on dog sitters/walkers. I felt so sorry for her. But at the same time, I also knew, I'd never find myself in that position, because I'd give the job up first lol.

No, here is Kung Pao Kitty. ;)

Kung Pao kitty is so cute.

Ugh, I'm seriously thinking of getting a kitt-un. Must Not Give In. Sure would be nice to have a snuggly little baby kitteh right about now, though. ;)

She may be cute, but she is a 4:30AM alarm clock with claws.

Ahhhh, yes. Thanks. Tell me more, I do NOT need a kitten right now. lol

She is also a walking poop dispenser.

OK...waking moments. Poop.

One more and I'll discard the idea of a kitten I don't really need right now. ;)

A cat would interupt when we're doing the beast with two backs.
How's that? :lol2:

HUH? Pass some of that over here, so I can understand your post.

Hey, bad smilie...bad bad smilie. ;)

Well, you wanted one more reason. :D

This is Gizmo sitting on Max (baby in my belly). She does this most days around this time.

Attachment 21893

Ali that is super-cute, I love it.
Does she ever get booted in the head?

Oh yes, she gets bumped about a bit. Sometimes she sits her whole body on my belly and rests her head between my boobs. That way she cops a body blow instead of a head shot.

I actually think she likes the vibrations or something. As I said, she seems to want to sit on my belly quite a lot now.

Haven't you heard of in-womb learning? Max's first word is going to be "meow"!

Seriously, does gizmo purr in that position? The vibrations will reach Max for sure, I wonder what he'd make of them.

awwww! a protector!

and, oh, I'm getting excited for you!

Yeah...she purs and then after a while starts dribbling she gets so comfy. She's not an old cat either. Only a bit over 1. I don't know what Max thinks about it, but he seems to like it. He kicks a bit at first but then seems to go to sleep.

Thanks Cloud. We're all pretty excited ourselves. :) Just can't wait now.

Some of the squirrels around here keep New York City sewer rats for bitches, I even saw one punk a raccoon once.

BTW, where would I get a squirrel catapult? (Heavy duty/extra large o'course!!)
