I think there is a bear fight somewhere.

Russ

Pushkin,

They are engaged in a battle of titanic proportions; a quest of incalculable magnitude; a massive concerted effort to thwart an unsavory infestation.

Russ, NCNE

If anybody can do it, they can.

Thank you for your attention. The cat scratched my son tonight, he (my son) should know better, the cat is a dangerous animal, not to be messed with by pests.

Russ

Pushkin,

Your cat doesn't hold a candle to mine. The critter is a psycho-cat. She keeps moving in a clockwise pattern around the house switching nesting places every two weeks or so. Right now, it's the top of the fridge. Here she is during her top of the door phase:



Look at those eyes. If you're not scared, you're not normal.

Pushkin, I would never taunt a Maine Coon! They are fierce and proud! One of the most beautiful cat's there is.

I see bear is back back. All is well.

Here is one of my 5 cats looking for stupid auctions on ebay. This cat is obsessed with my wife's laptop.

Guess I am gonna have to get a new icon....although I was here FIRST (in my best 9 year old voice).

Monstavet

If I could, for the life of me, figure out how you guys include pictures in your posts, I would show you all some real cats that I work on...a la bobcats & African servals!

lordmarcovan

Russ, that's a cute kitty, but if you wanna start a "my cat is better than your cat" competition, I'll enter the "Battle Kitty" I posted on coindaughter's "Fight!!" thread. It'll always blow away the competition.




OK, OK, so that really isn't my cat. Just a funny picture I found. But Penny, the world famous Jumping cat, is. In fact, she's rubbing against my leg now, no doubt wanting to be fed. Here she is performing her signature "Turn off the Lights" trick, back when she was still a young little thing. She's now nearly twice that size since being "fixed", but she can still turn off the lights. She's very conscientious about saving electricity!


Pushkin and Monstavet: I always thought that icon y'all used was a red fox, until I looked at the title!

I'm really a dog person, but I can see myself getting into cats as well. I've pretty much liked every cat I've ever been around. One of my concerns is that I know very little about cats, and I'm afraid that the cat will scratch the furniture, get hair all over the place, and fight with my dog (who is friendly but inquisitive).

Man, what happened? I leave town for a day and a half, and then al hell breaks loose. What's the story? Anything that wants to be repeated?

DMWJR

EVP - Willie Morris, who wrote "My Dog Skip," also wrote a short book called "My Cat Spit McGee", where he talks about how he is a dog person and he marries "cat woman" who brings this cat into his house. He finds out that the cat acts very much like a dog. It's a fun book, and I highly recommend it. You can read it in one evening.

StillLurking -- I can't believe that made it through the filter. You might try the term "Glans Penis" if you get censored, because Kincoin surely is one.

Yes, this is a coin forum. So... in order to stay on-topic, you should run along to the a$$hole forum post haste.

OK, lets talk about your icon. We've all seen the "Lo" next to it. Does the rest of it spell "Loser"? Or, perhaps "Lout"? Maybe "Louse"?

SUPERMAN NOW YOU CAN BLOW ME

EVillageProwler

Mr. McNulty,

A few of us were having a very pleasant off-topic conversation until you came along and decided to be disruptive. Why did you do that? Yes, this is a coin forum. But, that's not an excuse for you to be disruptive. No one would have minded an occasional, pleasant off-topic thread here.

But, everyone will mind a disruptive interloper. Why are you here? Are you really trying to learn about coins? If so, I suggest that being a nicer member of this forum will probably result in more members being willing to help you out with your coin issues.

If you're here just to be a disruptive influence and to have a gag at everyone else's expensive, then I'd give you an A+ for your efforts.

I don't know you from Adam, but if you are a mature adult, then I suggest that you reflect on your behavior. (BTW, reacting to perceived insults from others is not justification enough for your consistently non-constructive posts.)

It should be obvious to you that my gender=male. I am a heterosexual male. I cannot, and will not "blow" you.

Why are you using a coin forum to solicite gay sex partners? There are plenty of internet sites and chat rooms designated for this purpose. I'm sure you're more familiar with them than I am.

Clark

P.S.
Please continue posting your obscene comments. It will only hasten your banishment from this site.

Russ

Clark,

Is that a vacuum cleaner in your avatar? I'm thinking that maybe the boy is a little confused.

Russ, NCNE

Mr. McNulty,

Judging from your terse reply to me, I suppose that you are here to be a disruptive influence. I don't generally understand why someone will want to be like that, but ...

If you ever want to do all of us a favor, I would suggest that you find another way to amuse yourself.

He finds out that the cat acts very much like a dog.

Doug,

I've often felt that my dog-ter is like a cat. She loves to rub her body all over me -- not just her face or her rump. The cats that have warmed up to me will walk up to me and proceed to slide their bodies along side me. Just like my little dog.

Is there a cat breed that doesn't shed as much? I would like to get a kitten, but I'm going to adopt. What are the differences in issues between adopting a kitten vs an adult cat? How 'bout gender issues? How 'bout with regards to getting along with a small-ish 3-yr old female dog?

What kind of destructive tendencies do I need to worry about? What will be my daily/regular routine with them? How 'bout their life expectancy and rate of maturity? What kind of accomodations will they need?

I'm also thinking of getting another dog in the next couple of years.

Yes, it is a vacuum of sorts. Here are a few of the things it picked up.

Note: there is one item here that it didn't find.... can you, Russ, find it?

let me go get a pic of our ugly cat! back in a flash! I think she is called a Tortoise shell? She is a DARN good cat! Best animal I've ever had. Doesn't get up on anything!!! but the couch and our bed!!! I have only seen her on our counter one time......I was outside putting a new window in and felt like someone was staring at me......well, she was....right out the new window! dumb cat! She's about 9 years old. Strictly an indoor cat. no front claws. Have only had to take her to vet one time!

Russ

<< <i>Is there a cat breed that doesn't shed as much? >>



Short-haired ones shed less. They are also less prone to hairballs.



<< <i>I would like to get a kitten, but I'm going to adopt. What are the differences in issues between adopting a kitten vs an adult cat? >>



The problem with adopting an adult is that you don't know what kind of treatment they received as they were growing up. Cats have very distinct personalities that develop as a result of environment. If the environment was bad, or abusive, you could end up with a major problem on your hands. If you adopt a kitten, you can give her the love and attention she needs to grow up and be a great housemate.



<< <i>How 'bout gender issues? How 'bout with regards to getting along with a small-ish 3-yr old female dog? >>



In my experience, females are always better. Males, even fixed ones, tend to have more problems, both physically and mentally and don't live as long as females. As far as getting along with the dog, I don't know which gender would be better, no experience with that.



<< <i>What kind of destructive tendencies do I need to worry about? >>



Anything scratchable, will get scratched.



<< <i>What will be my daily/regular routine with them? >>



When they're a baby, lots of attention, hugs and petting. Once they become an adult, they decide the routine, not you.



<< <i>How 'bout their life expectancy and rate of maturity? >>



They're full size by about a year. Live between 12 and 20 years.



<< <i>What kind of accomodations will they need? >>



Fresh food and water. The rest they pretty much decide for themselves!

Cats are very independent animals and are quite good at taking care of themselves. Perfect for a guy like me that works a lot.

I know you're talking about cats here, but the same goes for dogs. I adopted my mutt (may she rest in peace) when she was almost a year old. It took a couple of years to earn her trust. For the first year or so everytime I moved my foot suddenly she tried to surgically remove it from my leg. Luckily, after about 5 years she had totally overcome her early upbringing. That left us with 6 more good years together, so it was worth it. Even with the potential for behavioral problems when adopting, I still think it's a great way to save an animal from what could otherwise be a short, miserable life. I know, some people just don't have a situation where it's practical to have a pet that's totally whacked... so, I'm not saying that not adopting is bad thing. I just happened to be in a good situation (lived alone.. no children around.. lots of land) at the time.

In short, my opinion is... GET A PET, ANY PET. You'll find great joy and some of the most stimulating conversation you've ever had.

CK,
did you ever try to call that number on the red tag on the right hand side of the picture??? that might be funny

ClarkOfKent

goose3,

I don't need to call it... I drive past it twice a day! It's the Stow-Kent Animal Hospital. I know it well... it's where my dog went for her last "ride in the truck".

The more interesting one, for me, is in the upper-left corner. It's a rabies tag from Ft. Hood, TX, 1964. Found it in my own yard. Must've been a previous tenant who moved here from TX.
