I'm so proud of little Google

Google is a 6 month-old calico--very small and very agile and
very cat-line, very unlike her orange tabby twin brother
Stinky, who is kinda puppy-like.

Well, Google got two birds in two days! I'm so proud
of her! I wonder if Stinky will ever outgrow his
puppy personality. How common are puppy-like cats?

It is rather unusual for someone to applaud cats killing birds.

Not "cats" in general, but *my kitten*.

I never had pets before, and I'm very excited by her
hunting prowess. She's so small (4 pounds!) and agile.
I wish I saw how she got the birds.

If my cat gets a bird: feathers *all* over the place, I mean *everywhere*:
on the wall, ceiling, in the ornaments, under the bed.
I'm not so happy. I just remove the bird without comment, that's it. But I
partly blame the neighbour for feeding the birds on the ground in winter.
There they have no chance, even if the neighbour thinks so. Different matter
with mice though ...

Not sure what you mean by "puppy like", but my two cats are like dogs. I
have to take them for a walk twice a day (they follow me unleashed), take
them hunting, they stay and sit when instructed and will come when I
whistle. Just the other day one of them caught a humming bird, couldn't
believe my eyes. People comment all the time that they are like little dogs.

Glad y'all having fun, but I still think the only thing worse than
stepping on a mouse in your bare feet first thing in the morning is
stepping on half a mouse.

I was gonna answer then I remembered I never had a puppy.  But male and
female cats do have different personalities once you get to know them.

I would not be proud if one of our cats killed anything.  Kitten or grown.
You seem to have an unusual sense of things to be proud of and do with your
pets.  I seem to remember you posting something unusual earlier.

A cat that hunts is a happy cat. As opposed to a cat
kept indoors and bored out her mind.

Are you not proud of the tricks your cats can perform?
And 'unusual' is in they eye of the beholder.

most of the 'tricks' my cats do annoy me (which is usually the
objective).  They're all great cats, but hunting is a *cat* thing not a
*pet* thing.

Be proud, be very, very proud. To deprive a cat the ability to be a cat is
not natural, deprives them of natures intent to contribute to the balance of
nature.

Is that coon a danger to your cats?

Saw the pic's eh? No, that coon has been here for years, the cats are kept
up with their shots and they just agree to get along. They never play
together or anything like that. The cats will stay away from the baby coons
later this summer. Though the baby coons get curious about them, thus the
shots.

Shouldnt they be cats first, and pets second?

By all means; that's my take on it too; the cat that hunts *chooses* to
be a pet (though their take on which one of us is the pet may differ
from ours)

I'd be proud of her too. You can get a free web page to show her of at

Did you name her after the website or the number?

That gives me an idea - maybe I should call my cat Wired

Website. Her spots look like goggles, hence 'google'.
I know, it doesnt make sense :)
