Will a Dell box do?

(That's Jasper)

It's Sapphire that's the weird one:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gareth.hardy1/DSF6823.jpg
When I pick her up (she doesn't like being handled by anyone else, which is
weird because it's my wife who's the cat fanatic) she stretches back and can
be held with just one hand. The fat git in the background is me - taking the
photo through the mirror with one hand while she reclines in the other.

The other three have only just come in so you'll have to wait until they
settle down for the night before I can get photos of them.

enclosed..

You'd think Sapphire's back would just snap in two but obviously not. She's
ok being held upside down like that? You can walk around the house with an
upside down cat??? <-:

Nightshade has a habit of taking clean laundry (usually underwear) from the
baskets and bringing it in the bedroom. One day I woke with Rob and I's
under clothes at the foot of the bed. They were correctly placed---mine on
my side and his on his side.

Now if you could just get him to hold it while you put it on......You'd have
the first valet cat ever......

A photo doesn't really do it justice. I'll have to try and shoot some video,
you'll see how bizarre the whole thing really appears. I'd have thought it
would hurt as well, but she loves it. She usually gets a tummy rub (when I'm
not trying to wield a camera at the same time) and she's obviously ticklish
because it makes her quiver...

They didn't - they went out again. They came back in today at lunchtime, but
were really soggy so I waited 'til they'd cleaned themselves before getting
a photo:

Sapphire's chosen a new bed (she does this every three or four days)

And Jasper has retired for the day to his usual hidey hole: My
eight-year-old Son's bed:

Not my own cat, but this is Polly, the longest serving resident at the
Cats Protection rescue shelter where I volunteer. She's been there at
least 10 years, here she is in her favourite spot on top of the tumble
dryer :-)

I'd be careful waking that cat. Looks like a sleeping skunk.

Too right, she'll have your hand off if you're not careful..! You've got
to be wary with our Polly ;-)

Yeah, but when they want something, they're all affectionate and friendly.
Working on my computer the other day and my Deetoo comes in crying and
wailing more than usual. I ignore her as I try to do and next thing I know,
she's tromping on my keyboard rubbing up against me, kneading and head
butting way more than she usually does. I push her off to the side trying
get her to lay down on the folded towel I keep beside my computer, but it's
a wasted effort, she's still all over me. I can't get rid of her. After ten
minutes of all this attention it occurs to me that I haven't filled her food
dish for some time. I go out and it's empty of kibble. I fill it up and
she's into it like a flash. Didn't hear another peep from her for the next
six hours. She got what she wants and I'm of no use anymore. Just like a
woman.

"I go out and it's empty of kibble."

You know what? There is just NO excuse for that. You're surfing the net and
Deetoo goes hungry??? What is the # of the ASPCA in your area? I'm gonna
call. If I have to keep the food machine going I sure don't see why you
should get a pass. No sir. No excuse.

Well if you turn me into the Canadian SPCA I might be forced to live on
reindeer biscuits for a month, but please don't report me to your border
control. The next time I visit the US from Canada, I don't want them waiting
to ship me off to Guantanamo Bay.  :)
Mike - 17 Jan 2008 16:27 GMT
Last night Isis came down and was bug bug bugging me. Her bowl was empty
because I let it get empty.
Come on down. We'll share a cell with our cats in Guantanamo in the Cheney
wing. It has an ocean view.

I'd just like to stick my hand in there and see what happens. I do it with
Isis. 95% of the time nothing bad happens. It's a test of courage.

Many have tried, most have regretted ;-)
