Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2006New pics, mostly the lambs and one of my cats
One of my cats, Äkäpussi, behaves like she's become one of the lambs... She spends more time with them than with us or even the other cats. http://www.palvelumaatti.fi/uusimmat.html > One of my cats, Äkäpussi, behaves like she's become one of the lambs... > She spends more time with them than with us or even the other cats. > > http://www.palvelumaatti.fi/uusimmat.html All very adorable!!! prosessi <prosessi@yahoo.com> wrote in news:e33lhm$cdi$1@phys- news4.kolumbus.fi: > One of my cats, Äkäpussi, behaves like she's become one of the lambs... > She spends more time with them than with us or even the other cats. > > http://www.palvelumaatti.fi/uusimmat.html Does one of your lambs have blue eyes, or is that some sort of trick of the light? I didn't know lambs could have blue eyes - cows only have dark-colored eyes. Chak  SignatureAt least two-thirds of our miseries spring from human stupidity, human malice and those great motivators and justifiers of malice and stupidity: idealism, dogmatism and proselytizing zeal on behalf of religous or political ideas. --Aldous Huxley > Does one of your lambs have blue eyes, or is that some sort of trick of > the light? I didn't know lambs could have blue eyes - cows only have > dark-colored eyes. Their eyes are brown. The blue is just the mirror-reflection that most animals have, so they can better see in the dark. The color of the reflection varies from one individual to another. Dogs mostly reflect green or red, sheep have also the blue alternative. > One of my cats, ?k?pussi, behaves like she's become one of the lambs... > She spends more time with them than with us or even the other cats. > http://www.palvelumaatti.fi/uusimmat.html They're so cute! How old are the lambs, they look very young. The kitty is really sweet too. I'm not sure how to spell her name, because some of the characters didn't come out right on my screen, but it looks like her name is Akapussi, with double dots (umlauts?) over the A's. Is that right?

Is that > right? Yes, its right. The pronouncing is even fun... Starts with back without the b, then back without the b and c and k, the end is pronounced as pussy. Translated the name means something similar to Feisty. > > How old are the lambs, they look very young. > They are now around four weeks. Oh, little babies. They're really sweet. > Yes, its right.

That's about how I would pronounce it, from an English-speaking point of view. Glad I wasn't completely off. :) > Translated the name means something similar to Feisty. It seems like a perfect name for a cat. Pussi sounds like pussy, another name for "cat", which comes from a Dutch word, I think. And "Aka" sounds like the sound a cat might make while watching birds from the window. :) Joyce > > Translated the name means something similar to Feisty. > > It seems like a perfect name for a cat. She was Akapussi right from the beginning. When the kittens were born and I checked their sexes, the two boys sounded like normal kittens meaouing, but Akapussi cried a really strong MIAAAAAAAAAAAAAOU, "don't touch me, you evil human". And she was just some minutes old... > One of my cats, Äkäpussi, behaves like she's become one of the lambs... > She spends more time with them than with us or even the other cats. > > http://www.palvelumaatti.fi/uusimmat.html So sweet! She does seem to love them. And I didn't need any translation for the caption "Skippa-skappadi..." :-))) Deb.

Namely how to herd sheep, Bet the cat wouldn't like the sheep so much with a bossy dog around. Jake and Molly are learning how not to get herded. She promptly loses interest if they stay still and they as soon as the next moving object gets her eye they are home free Wish I could show her the lambs and see her reaction. Jo > Kayla is going to "summer camp" for two weeks on Thursday, where she will > learn proper Border Collie manners and proper work.

Nooni doesn't play almost at all with the other cats, but Akapussi is her secondbest friend... > Jake and Molly are learning how not to get herded.

The lambs are sleeping in our bedroom as long as they need milkbottles all the time. There isn't enough room to play, so they are let out to run in our kitchen. (I know, it's not normal to have lambs in the house, but they are too funny and cute. I'd like to have the fullgrown sheep here too, but they like to bee in the cool sheepshed...) Nooni believes that they aren't allowed to get to the kitchen, so she tries to herd them back to the bedroom all the time. I love sheep. I'd like to keep some just to hear the sound they make. The pictures are nice. I wish they would all load for me. I've refreshed the page half a dozen times so far and still can't even see half of the pictures. Dialup sucks. |
