AbielleRose Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 Welcome to the cat collective Mango, you already have many aunties and uncles worldwide!, Uncle Jasper, Auntie Sascha, Uncle Dylan and Auntie Quinn, everyone, feel free to add your cat's name Awwww! Thanks guys. She feels so welcome and at home. She's currently sleeping peacefully on my friend's chest after a rather rowdy half hour of laser pointer fun.

AbielleRose Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Aww, thanks I've kenneled her in the bathroom and she's just howling. Poor baby. Its taking all of my strength not to let her sleep in my bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 You'll get used to it in time. Jasper still meows endlessly when I put him in the bathroom. I reckon he will always do it, but I think it's just because he's a sticky beak and likes to know everything that's going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Abby, Mango is adorable! Let me spell it out for you: A-DO-RA-BLE!!!! One of the cutest kittens I've ever seen, I swear. I love it that she's so social, I want to cuddle her, meoowwww! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon he will always do it, but I think it's just because he's a sticky beak and likes to know everything that's going on. After about a half hour/ 45 minutes she stopped and didn't make a peep the rest of the night. Hopefully she'll be fine when I leave for work shortly! How's Jasper coming with the cords? Have you figured out something to keep him away yet? Abby, Mango is adorable! Let me spell it out for you: A-DO-RA-BLE!!!! One of the cutest kittens I've ever seen, I swear. I love it that she's so social, I want to cuddle her, meoowwww! She would gladly take those Frankie cuddles! I have honestly NEVER seen a kitten who was this affectionate. She's always rubbing her nose against yours and purring up a storm the moment you pick her up. Most kittens her age I've seen wiggle and try to get out of your arms when you hold them, but Mango seems to prefer being held vs having free roam!

AbielleRose Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Mango has had quite a day today! She got her first bath (and didn't fight it hardly at all, even sat in the water without me holding her!) and got to explore a large box (which she fell into and got stuck...) She's still extremely clingy to me and will throw a fit if I leave the room, but hopefully she'll grow out of that quickly. I am having a friend come over here shortly to 'kitten sit' so I can do laundry because she won't let me even sort it let alone leave the apartment to throw it in the laundry room down the hall.

And yes, from what you've just told me, she doesn't sound like the most typical cat in my books. You're very lucky to have her, but you know that already! Mango has had quite a day today!

And another thing to amaze us: a cat that sits in the water without having to be hold down... She's a keeper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kylie Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I've pinched part of Poppyshake's quote from another thread because I didn't want to get off-topic there. Have you got dogs/cats? .. they're a nightmare in the dark, mine always try to kill me. Mine always attacks me in daylight; I hate to think what he'd be like in the dark! You know that move in wrestling where one guy is on the ground and the other guy kind of throws himself down on him, sideways, with an elbow (not sure if I have quite right)? I swear my cat did that to me last night, but with a little less oomph. He also ran full-bolt at me, jumped up and used my chest as a kind of springboard to launch off on a crazy race around the room. He's just plain scary, sometimes. Lovely pics of your cats, Weave.

AbielleRose Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 (edited) Aww, Quinn and Dylan are so cute Paula! Kylie, I think Mango is Jasper's long lost baby sister... She's very sweet and loving but totally destructive! I left her alone for 2 hours as a test to see if she could handle being let loose on the apartment with me not here and I came back to find the TV remotes hidden, my shoes chewed on and the smell of urine from an accident she had on the carpet. Then I curled up in my bed for a little nap and let her stay in the room (my main concern with locking her in the bathroom when I can't watch her is the urinating and poo accidents) only to close my eyes and have her freak out. I think she thought I was sick or something because she started crying and moaning then batted my nose to try and wake me up. I kept my eyes closed until she decided to sit on my face. Silly little thing. At least she's feeling better now. Seems like the food change was exactly what she needed. Now we just need to work on aiming for the litter box.

AbielleRose Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 I got bored tonight and took a little camera video of Mango checking out some soda boxes for the first time. She was a bit leary of them at first. She's such a strange cat! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVNxuX1ke8o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pickle Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 I have just spent the last hour repairing my phone wire as the little monster just casually came into the lounge reached up and chewed through it....grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delilah Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Aren't cats just lovely? My cat loves to bite as well! You can look at her and admire you but don't you dare touch! Sometimes she will allow me briefly to scratch her head or under her neck before she decides to go for the bite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 It's a year ago today that we had to have our lovely dog, Cap put to sleep because of multiple tumours. Anniversaries shouldn't really mean anything as such, but somehow they do. It's that measure of time having passed I guess . We have been pondering our time with him, and feel a bit blue really.

chaliepud Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 How sad Chrissy, we have that to go through over the next couple of years with 2 of ours I know how devastating it is, but thankfully we have the wonderful memories they leave us. What sort of dog was Cap, sounds like a Collie type name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 He was a rather gorgeous Border Collie. He came to us when he was about 8 years old, and we had him for 4 1/2 years. I hate to brag (NOT) but he actually was the bestest dog in the universe (to us). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbielleRose Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 So sorry, Chrissy. Anniversaries like that are hard. What a lovely dog. My cats are locked in the bathroom after getting into the garbage (yet again). They've been acting like terrorists lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaliepud Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 What a gorgeous boy Chrissy, intelligence and looks! I do love BC's, in fact there is a chance I will be getting one sometime next year if my friend manages to get a litter using her lovely boy, he has sired one lovely litter already and they have fantastic temperaments and are great workers too, perfect as I love obedience and agility, so fingers crossed!

Chrissy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Share Posted October 9, 2011 Thanks for the hugs you two, I hate to break it to you Abby, but our cat Clyde (16 years old, grumpy and greedy) regularly forgets that he is a crotchety old boy with a wonky back leg and until we got a new taller bin with a clip down lid would regularly rummage! He will still take a chance with low units etc, if he whiffs an interesting smell. He is fast asleep next to me here. He is taking more of the sofa than I am if you measure him from stretched out paws to tip of tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AbielleRose Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 This is an older pic, but Mango clearly has an addiction to garbage. She's the most curious cat I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kylie Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Hehe, cute pic Abby. Jasper stuck his head in a small box earlier and more or less got it stuck on his head. Chrissy, have some . I can't believe it has been a year already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
