Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2007New pictures again
We've had some lovely sunny days lately. The cats spend most of the time I'm home in the enclosure.

Beautiful kitties, as usual. And you really don't think Caliban looks much like Roxy? I think there's a strong similarity in that picture. http://home.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/more_roxy_smudge/roxy_stick.jpg OK, granted, Caliban looks wise and kind in your picture, whereas Roxy looks insane in mine... :) Joyce > > We've had some lovely sunny days lately.

If I did, I was wrong. They definitely look alike, especially around the eyes and nose. But I think 'wise and kind' is stretching it a bit... 'kind', maybe... sometimes. But wise? LOL! Miranda is rolling on the floor. ;) SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Miranda is rolling on the floor. ;) He may not actually *be* wise, but in that photo, he looks very thoughtful. I wonder if there's a correlation between dark-stripey-on-top-and- white-underneath, and a certain... um... *spaciousness* upstairs? Roxy is very good at being cute and fetching, and looking pretty, but she's no rocket scientist. It always cracks me up to see the difference in how she and Licky approach predatory play. Licky is dead serious. When he chases a ball, he runs after it in a straight line, keeping low to the ground, and intensely focused on the "prey". Roxy will also chase a ball, but at some point she'll veer off and start scratching the nearest scratching post in joyful abandon. Chasing, scratching - it's all good. :) Joyce > >> OK, granted, Caliban looks wise and kind in your picture, whereas Roxy > >> looks insane in mine... :) [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] >he runs after it in a straight line, keeping low to the ground, and >intensely focused on the "prey".

(That's why KFC likes him. She's not a narcissist or anything. :)) If your browser supports frames, take a look here: http://home.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/licky/licky.html No frames needed here, and you get to see Licky as a kitten, plus his brother! http://home.sonic.net/~jwermont/cats/licky/babylicky.html >> Roxy will also chase a ball, but at >> some point she'll veer off and start scratching the nearest scratching >> post in joyful abandon.

That's it, exactly. Roxy will also leap up in the air, do a 45-degree turn in the air and then tear off in a different direction, forgetting all about the ball. She's not really interested in hunting, she just likes to get excited, run around and play. I really like the fact that at 9 years old, she still does this every day. (I know that doesn't hold a candle to Stinky, though!)

A picture can tell more lies than a thousand words. :) I'd say it's more common for him to have the same insane look in his eyes as Roxy. > I wonder if there's a correlation between dark-stripey-on-top-and- > white-underneath, and a certain... um... *spaciousness* upstairs? Roxy > is very good at being cute and fetching, and looking pretty, but she's > no rocket scientist. LOL! Who knows? Actually, we did have a stripey brown cat with white trimmings who was quite a smart girl - Thompson (1970-1987), my 'little sister.' > It always cracks me up to see the difference in how she and Licky > approach predatory play.

If Caliban is playing with a crinkly foil ball, he can concentrate for hours on end. Miranda will play fetch with a string until Caliban interrupts (and he always jumps into the game at some point).

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >OK, granted, Caliban looks wise and kind in your picture, whereas Roxy >looks insane in mine... :) Their markings look more similar in the face than in the body. Roxy is more of a marbled tabby than a tiger striped tabby, and has more white on the underbelly and legs, whereas Caliban has mittens and socks. > Their markings look more similar in the face than in the body. Roxy > is more of a marbled tabby than a tiger striped tabby, and has more > white on the underbelly and legs, whereas Caliban has mittens and > socks. Yes, the stripe patterns on their bodies are quite different. But they both have the same big round eyes, white muzzle area, and PINK NOSE!! Roxy is also a tad chubby, but is otherwise much smaller than Caliban. She's short and stocky (I love her short legs), with a round, *solid* belly. But when she was at the vet's a couple of months ago, she weighed only 10 lbs/4.5 kg, which seems pretty average to me. (Although Smudge weighs only about 7 lbs (3 kg) - most of her is fluff!)
