Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / April 2008Pictures of "Garvin"
He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/  SignatureHugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ > He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here.

There's got to be a story behind that! ;> Not really, this humongous stray loves to sit on the enclosure tunnel and yowl at the girls. He's about twice the size of Amanda's boyfriend's cat, Pumpkin, hence the name. Pam S. >>>> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here.

Jo >> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he first >> came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Jo I really hope so - although DH was a bit huffed about "getting rid of him" when I mentioned finding him a forever home. But I hope I can convince him that it will be better for Garvin to find a place where he's not just and extra mouth that needs to be fed. Hugs, CatNipped >>> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he >>> first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > CatNipped I'm confused (nothing new about that!). He's huffed about "getting rid of him" but is he also huffed about the extra $$ to have him vetted and neutered, not to mention fed? I know a lot of people say "What's one more?" Well, we all know one more can add up to a fortune if there are medical problems! I hope for a good outcome either way. Jill >>>> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he >>>> first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > Jill LOL! You got it in one. He huffs at everything! (But behind the huffing is a really sweet guy.) I know, even if we can swing the $128 for the initial vet fees we do have to keep feeding him and vetting him for the rest of his life. I'm still holding out for another good home for him - I'll be putting pictures up in the vet's office and elsewhere, but with kitten season here I'm not going to bet the farm on it. Hugs, CatNipped >>>>> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he >>>>> first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. [quoted text clipped - 36 lines] > > CatNipped It irks me, always has. Sure, kittens are cute as all get-out. But they *do* grow up to be cats. (I think some people believe they'll just sort of freeze that way. LOL) Even a young adult cat still acts like a hoolikitten. In fact, we have a lot of older cats here who still act like hoolikittens! So why the insistence (by some people) it *must* be a kitten? (It's a rhetorical question.) Jill >>>>>> He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here. When he >>>>>> first came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. [quoted text clipped - 45 lines] > > Jill I know, it bugs me too. And, as you said, usually those insisting on a kitten 1) don't realize just how much trouble a kitten can be and 2) decide they don't really want an adult cat after it's just a year old and drop it off at their local shelter! :< Hugs, CatNipped > I know, it bugs me too.

I got Rusty when he was 1 year old. Kittens are too active for me. Besides, the purrsonality is pretty much set on an adult cat. I am glad I only have one cat though. Yesterday I took Rusty for his shots and annual check-up. Ended up paying several hundred dolllars for geriatric blood test, urinary test, fecal test and prescription food, as well as the shots and exam. It will be worse if they find something wrong.

Charlie never wants to make a decision about anything, but he is more than happy to question and second guess anything I seem to be about to do. Jo > There are joys to being single. Charlie never wants to make a decision > about anything, but he is more than happy to question and second guess > anything I seem to be about to do. Rob does this too. When asked to choose a restaurant, he'll haw and hem and then I'll get tired and pick one and inevitably it will be the one place he didn't want to go to. Then he wonders why I don't ask for his opinion when choosing places to go or things to do. Pam S. Being single isn't all bad. I get to sleep in the middle of the bed, eat when I am hungry, even in the middle of the night and don't have to watch non stop football.Of course, the cats play a part in this. They sleep on both sides so getting up to go to the bathroom can be tricky. Eating when they want to join you can be a task. The few times I watch TV, O. T. chases whatever in moving on the screen. >> There are joys to being single. Charlie never wants to make a decision >> about anything, but he is more than happy to question and second guess [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Pam S. Hooray I found the pics! What a long boy! When we got Nox we wanted a young "teen" cat, not a kitten, because as first time pet owners we wanted something not 100% dependent on us every second of every day, but we wanted someone young who would be with us a long time. We didn't get any age choice with Smokey. He came to us an adult, we think only 2, but we don't know. We didn't get any age choice with Kumani and Tyche either, and I recommend 3 week old nursing kittens to...well, nobody, if you've got a mom cat, and if you don't have a mom cat, then I recommend them to people with no more pressing commitments on their time 24/7 (like "jobs", "children", etc) and who are prepared to have them sleeping on their chest and nursing their ears for the rest of the kittens' life spans! Good luck with Garvin. Purrs he finds a forever home. --Fil > > Rob does this too.

I've rescued a couple in my lifetime, and there's nothing more adorable!! Nursing baby kittens myself, if there's no mom cat around, would be a different story. I hear it's very rewarding, if you have the time, and *if* you don't lose any. My sister has done this a few times, and said it was exhausting, but she'd do it again.

I'm crazy about puppies and kittens, especially bitties. And especially if they have a decent mom. But never again. Jo > He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here.

He's purrfect. Orinj stripeys. The same build as Caliban. They would get on like a house on fire. SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

I don't think he would mind another cat - he is very laid back about our cats who are jumping up and down on the other side of the door.

I don't know if he's just really, really trying to win us over or if it's just kittenish behavior, but he has TONS of personality.

When he first > came his little tummy was just about touching his backbone. > > http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/Garvin/ Eeeeeek! He's gorgeous!! What a pretty face. And what's that cute thing he's doing with his front paw? I can't tell whether those are two different paws in two different pictures (ie, in the first pic, it's his right paw, but in pic #7, it's the left). But sometimes pictures get reversed. I hope he doesn't have a sore paw. And it sure looks like he's a polydactyl. Waah, I want him! I haven't had an orange cat since high school. (But no, I can't take on another kitty, I'm so sorry!) He looks so happy. And LOL, I saw your other post where Ben's making noises about keeping him. Are you going to become a 3-orange-cat home? That is, in addition to the 3 non-orange cats? :) Joyce SignatureTo send email to this address, remove the triple-X from my user name. > > He's filled out quite a bit in the week he's been here.

But sometimes > pictures get reversed. I hope he doesn't have a sore paw. He does that all the time with both paws as he walks - kind of like a Clydesdale horse prancing. He takes a step with his right foot and curls up his left then takes a step with his left foot and curls up his right. It's absolutely adorable! I think he is a very, very young cat - he has very kittenish behavior and as far as I can see he doesn't spray and hasn't been in any fights yet. > And it sure looks like he's a polydactyl. No, just the normal number of toes. > Waah, I want him! I haven't had an orange cat since high school. > (But no, I can't take on another kitty, I'm so sorry!) > > He looks so happy.
