Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2007Someday....
The video Catnipped posted: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxA8i-K4hDM&feature=related of the kittens, really got me to thinking... I love the 2 white kittens. Just like popcorn! My Blizzard(RB) was just like that, when she was little. How I miss her...and her white fur that got on *everything*. Sigh...I still have lint rollers that I haven't used, that I bought when she was still here. And she went to the Bridge on April 10th, 2001. Someday I'd like to get another white kitty. I've seen several at the Humane Society, when I go to visit the poor kitties who are waiting for some human to adopt them... Someday I want to have LOTS of cats: A white cat, of course. A marmalade cat is a must. Any cat with long, very very soft fur. A black cat with big gold eyes. *Any* cat with big, pretty blue eyes. A pretty little gray cat, just like Mir. A big, beautiful, friendly, classic tabby, with white paws, just like Caliban. (I'm a little jealous of Marina, you might guess...) And a cat that follows me everywhere, always comes when I call, even when he/she is sleeping, and always wants to be in my lap, and loves to lick my face, just like my RB kitty, Lucky, who has been gone so very long now. That's eight, a good number of kitties to have. Manageable. Well, barely, in my 650 sq. foot, 5 room, house. But I have 2 porches for them to play or sleep in, on nice days....! Someday.... Sigh.... I love Kenzie so very, very much. But I can't get another kitty; she has made that very, very clear. But there are so many cats who need homes, I just like to day dream about having a lot of cats.

They have a harder time finding their one true homes, than kittens. > Does anyone else think about kitties they would like to have? All the time. :) You say you're jealous of me for my cats, but I would like a calico. And I would like a ginger. And a black cat. And more tabbies, because tabby is just my favourite colour. :) I periodically check out the site of the society that I adopted Caliban from. There's a gorgeous black boy that's been in foster care for months now. I so wish I could have a third cat. Mum says I'm not allowed to come to the island if I have three cats. :P I couldn't transport them, anyway. But my heart really aches for that gorgeous black boy that nobody wants.  SignatureMarina >> Does anyone else think about kitties they would like to have? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] >anyway. But my heart really aches for that gorgeous black boy that >nobody wants. I have seen cats at my local Humane Society that have been living in cages for months, some for 6 months. It just breaks my heart. I want to adopt them all. I can't, of course. I can't do anything, except take them out of their cages for a little while. They are sooo happy when I take them out of their cages, and so very sad when I have to put them back. They reach their paws through the bars, begging to be set free, when I put them back :-( The way their little faces look at me through the bars haunts me, late at night when I can't sleep. At least they are alive. I know how many cats and kittens the 'Humane Society' kills, but once they put a cat up for adoption, they are never put to sleep, and that is some small comfort to me.

The two (Little Boy and Bucky) who have turned into night and weekend cats until we get a home, ALL the sweet ferals who come to our door for food (Senyah would KILL me!), every cat I see... Yes, I need the male version of the Archie McPhee Crazy Cat Lady toy. Hugs and Purrs, Mark SignatureProof of Sanity Forged Upon Request > Does anyone else think about kitties they would like to have? <covers Smudge's eyes> Often, yes! :) I've always had a thing for "creamsicle" cats - orange with white underneath. I also love Caliban-style stripey cats with white, but I have one of those! And I used to wish for a black cat with gold eyes - now I have one of those, too. Granted, he's really a tux, but he has minimal white, and a mostly-black face. I love tux cats too. I've come to really like calicos, so I'll take one of those, too. :) I mostly like moggies, but among purebreds, I like Abi's, Maine Coons and Bengals. And although I've never had a special desire for a Siamese, a friend of mine had an apple-headed Siamese who was a real sweetheart, so I wouldn't turn down one of those, either. But with all this fantasizing, it seems that I end up with the cats I end up with. Clearly, there are 3 cats in the world who must have said, "I'd like a short, chubby, dark-haired, middle-aged female human". :) Joyce > > Does anyone else think about kitties they would like to have? > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] > end up with. Clearly, there are 3 cats in the world who must have said, > "I'd like a short, chubby, dark-haired, middle-aged female human". :) If, with all the homeless cats in the world, I were prepared to pay real money for a cat, I'd seriously consider a Sphinx. With all those wrinkles, they're so ugly they're cute! (Also have quite interesting personalities, I understand.) > Joyce > The video Catnipped posted: > [quoted text clipped - 54 lines] > > Does anyone else think about kitties they would like to have? When it comes to being in my life, in my house, I always just seem to get black and white. Stinky was an accident, of course, a wonderful one-- but the cats I went out and chose, or who rather chose *me*-- were black and white. I love all kinds of cats. I particularly love those famous tabbies with spotty tummies, and black-velvety paws. I love big orange tabby boycats, and petite tortie and calico girlies, solid black and solid white cats, sealpoints, lynxpoints, Abys, Somalis, Maine Coons, etc, etc. I love 'em all. > The video Catnipped posted: > [quoted text clipped - 64 lines] > Life is very difficult. Once you understand that, life becomes easier. > -Buddha {{{{{Gandalf}}}}}} Well, I've got nine and a 10th visiting, and I've had a total of (oh, never mind! mmmummmble) cats in my life, so there is very little lacking, from personality to color and everything in between. But I have never had a calico cat. I have decided, at my age, I will not adopt again, as it would be unfair to any young cat I adopted (given that it isn't that unusual anymore for a cat to live 20 years, and I will likely be in the Summerlands in 20 years). So I probably never will have a calico. I will have to wait for the next lifetime, and then surround myself with calico princesses :-) Ginger-lyn SignatureHome Pages: http://www.moonsummer.com http://www.angelfire.com/folk/glsummer (homepage & cats) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~summer/index.htm (genealogy) http://www.movieanimals.bravehost.com/ (The Violence Against Animals in Movies Website)
