Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / December 2004This kitty video is simply hilarious!
A friend linked me to this today... http://videos.somethingawful.com/misc/catattack.wmv Spoilers follow... . . . . . . . . . . . . . . I love the editing! It's just too perfect. I also love how the grey tabby is the definite troublemaker; the black&white kitty just wants to be left alone! }:) Further proof that tabbies are troublemakers! (as if my Lynxie weren't proof enough) Seeing this video makes me wish I had originally gotten two cats; it must be a riot when they do "battle" like this...

I think the black and white also likes it. He has more power, but the tabby has the best moves, like the spinning roundhouse tail flick, and upside-down crane stance with flattened ears. >> I love the editing! It's just too perfect.

Notice the tabby is much younger. I got tired out just watching all that wrestling!! The dogs at the end are the best part. Completely befuddled. BTW, Zorin, it is never too late. > A friend linked me to this today... > > http://videos.somethingawful.com/misc/catattack.wmv Cat wrestling is the only sport I find entertaing.

Gorgeous! It's a giant Licky Boy!! :) (I do tend to think of Licky as a "black cat" even though he's really a tuxedo. But his face is mostly black and the white strip down his belly is pretty narrow, so he's mostly black. When I see a big black leopard like in these photos, it looks to me like Licky writ large. :)) I like the middle one the best - that picture captured the most expressive facial expression, one I'd expect to see on a house cat.

Speaking of feline noises, I visited the Nashville Zoo today, and was surprised to hear one of the cougars meow. It sounded like an oversized housecat. I didn't know that they could make that particular sound. SignatureJohn F. Eldredge -- john@jfeldredge.com PGP key available from http://pgp.mit.edu "Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all." -- Hypatia of Alexandria Oh hell yes they do. Most of the cougars at the sanctuary I volunteer at meow and chirp, and some of them do it with personality! There's one particular cougar (a big one, over 200lbs) named Osceola who will respond when you call out "Oscy!" to him. He "rowrs" back. It's pretty cute and consistent, though sometimes he's too lazy to respond. There's another one named Mystique, who is VERY vocal and "meows" all the time when people are near. She also purrrs like a motor when you give her attention. I think cougars have the cutest vocalizations of all the wild cats. Tigers are also high on the list with their "chuff", which sounds like a mix between a grunt and a purr. -Z > Speaking of feline noises, I visited the Nashville Zoo today, and was > surprised to hear one of the cougars meow.

Geez, they purr, they meow, they do upside-downy head, they roll on their back and show their belly (now there's one belly I'd never *dare* to touch!)... maybe they *are* oversized housecats.

Stymies some of the best photographers *and* > their fancy equipment. You got that right. Having a black cat, and used to have a black cat, I found that if you get them to look away slightly from the camera it helps with the big saucer glowing eyes. Light backgrounds tend to wash everything out, and dark backgrounds hide the cat so its hard to find that happy medium. Natural light works best with black cats, or some backlight rather relying on the flash to light everything up. SignatureCheryl > I do, but, sigh, the light is always bad and even though I put it on > the "sports" mode, I get a bunch of black blurs. It's not the camera, > it's me. It's a Canon A70.

The first thing I do every time I power it up is turn the flash off so my colors will come out right. Alas, I haven't found a way to make the setting stick across power cycles. > Karen Chuplis <kchuplis@alltel.net> wrote in news:BDDD4344.53BF7% > kchuplis@alltel.net: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://www.sewingwitch.com/harley/ She is so cute!

I love that evenly divided coloring on her face. It got more defined as she got older, and inspired her name. I was thinking of the Joker's sidekick, Harley Quinn, and as she purred one afternoon it also brought to mind the way a Harley Davidson sounds rumbling at the light next to me. She loves to sit on my lap while I play games, and I've learned to hold very still even in the middle of a desperate firefight to keep from waking her up. When a match ends and I wait for the next map to load, I reach down to pet her and she insists on licking the palms of my hands. > Karen Chuplis <kchuplis@alltel.net> wrote in news:BDDD4344.53BF7% > kchuplis@alltel.net: [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > http://www.sewingwitch.com/harley/ Gad she is cute.
