Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / July 2006From island cats to city cats
We're back! The cats are exhausted from the trip and have been sleeping for hours (after they'd checked that everything was in its place here at home). I'm pretty knackered myself, but here are some pictures to start with. I'll write more about our time on the island after I've had some sleep. http://community.webshots.com/album/552460626WgRCAp (Webshots seems to have increased their free disk space)  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Yes, get some post-trip rest with your kitties. :) I really like your pictures. I'll have to go through them more, and you'll have to tell us all about what happened and what they're about. > We're back!

Cali and Mir look great. You know, Cali has the best back footsies ever. It looks like they've gotten really chummy! All that cuddling. The greebling picture where they are both trying to get whatever and laying on top of each other is hysterical. So glad to have you back! > Oh my goodness it just all looks so peaceful!!!!!!!!!

I called it greebling hunting because I couldn't see anything moving inside that crack in the rock that they were so interested in. But they hung around a long time. Those pesky rock greeblings!

So do you just let them run on the island or do you take them out for walks for them to go explore? And this was their first time at the island right? Kristi > Wow, they look wonderful. So do you just let them run on the island or > do you take them out for walks for them to go explore? > > And this was their first time at the island right? It was Caliban's first time, Miranda's second time. They do get the run of the island, but neither strays very far from our houses. They mostly stay around the beach cliffs and the wooded area around the shed where I sleep. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. Stories and pics at http://koti.welho.com/mkurten/ Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki Awwwwww - thanks for the pics. They are so cuddly and gorgeous. I loved the Contemplation picture and the view from Frank and Nikki's rose bush. The wildrose is our provincial flower here so we're pretty fond of them too. Welcome back and I look forward to hearing more about your trip. Susan M Otis and Chester > We're back!

You know that web page of Nikki purring? I put it on my desk top. When I'm playing windows media player I usually put it on random. Every so often I'll hear two minutes of smile making purrs. Thank you for letting her purr file be placed on the web. Am eager to read about all the adventures on the island and how Caliban and Miranda did. I bet they had a great time.

Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com > OMG! What did you feed Caliban in the island? He looks HUGE! Grrr. *I* didn't feed him any more than usual. In fact, when we left for the island, I was hoping that he would lose a little weight on the island, what with getting more exercise. Haha! Caliban proved to be an absolutely shameless food smooch. He would go into the other houses and eat the other cats' food virtually under their noses. Kasper and Emil just let him do it, but if Linus or Ronja caught him eating *their* food, they chased Caliban off *their* property. But I blame the hoomins, too. They all said they would chase Caliban away if they saw him at one of their food bowls, but knowing Caliban, and having seen how he charmed everyone, I suspect they let him eat some before they chased him off. Caliban even went into my brother's tent to see if he could mooch some food there! I considered changing his name to Bandit. It morphed into Calibandido. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

One time Rusty stayed with my friend and her cat while I was out of town. He finished his food and ate the other cat's food too. But he didn't put on weight. At home he is never a hearty eater. The vet said that's was social eating. There is a Chinese saying that you won't get fat when you eat alone. Maybe there's some truth in it. Winnie > I considered changing his name to Bandit.

It morphed into Calibandido. That's so cuuute! What a little ham he is! Or a big ham. Do you remember when his foster said that he looked like he had an oriental body type? ;) When I saw the picture of Caliban on the jetty, for a moment, I saw Frank. >> I considered changing his name to Bandit.

Yes, that was a very good sales pitch. ;o) He had that tummy as a kitten when he came to me, and he never went through that skinny phase most kittens go through in their teens. He's just built with a proper tummy. > When I saw the picture of Caliban on the jetty, for a moment, I saw > Frank. I know. It's funny how the boys like to hang out on the jetty, but the girls don't. Nikki hardly ever came out there with me, and I don't think Miranda set foot on it once. It didn't take much to coax Cali-cali out there, and Emil liked to hang out there too, watching the swallows. In fact, we were sure that one or the other of the boys would end up in the water, since they would both hang over the side or look like they would jump after a swallow who flew out over the water.

The kids seemed to be having a wonderful time, enjoying what cats were meant to enjoy in an ideal world (which is what the island seems to be, from a feline perspective). My favorites so far are the greebling-hunt series, but I'm only about halfway through viewing the whole set, so we'll see. Welcome back! How's the weather in your corner of the world?

How's the weather in your corner of the world? Thanks, Joyce! The weather has cooled off now. It was hot for the first few weeks (hot for southern Finland, that is); 28-30 C (around 85 F). Then some northern winds set in, and now it's a nice and cool 20 C (roughly 70 F). The island is completely dry due to lack of rain. It always rains less out there than here on the mainland. You can see in some of the pictures how the grass has gone completely brown. 3451§ (<--- Caliban's remark) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.

Your two are precious, especially in the "in a bag" and the "washing" pictures. They seem so happy to be together. And F&N have a wonderful view from their resting place.
