Pet cat photos

Traffic on this site has fallen off precipitously. One theory is that we lack cat photos. If we don’t have images of our pet cats, why would anyone bother to come here? Attachment 5668 This is my effort to address that.

Here we have Madison, the red and white cat with her cat brother William Bill. These two cats are neither friends nor enemies. They usually ignore each other. Today they were sitting on the same little table, staring down at our dog who was wanting to hassle them.

I am waiting for that scam where someone will tell you that if you don't pay them a certain amount of money, they will post all your photos that you have on your phone. I'd tell them to go for it. 99% of them are of my cats.

Well, if this works, here are our two inside kitties - Wynkin (larger, male) and his much smaller sister, Nod. They are very close buddies, although Nod loves to set her brother up, and will come rat him out if he gets into something first.

Okay---More Catt photos will help! Due to technical issues, I am unable to contribute any photos of Catt, booked batteries, or old Packards. But, I will figure something out. Did I tell you my steering column repair tool kit arrived from Kansas, today? Thanks mee.

Ironically I hadn't noticed this thread until today, our last day with our Freddy. She was 13-1/2. I took this photo of her this morning before taking her in to the vet. She was having a horrible morning of howling, pacing and throwing up, peeing different places. Then she seemed to want to go outdoors. She's always been an indoor cat, 100% of the time. So I thought, what the heck, let's go out. She lay in the sun, watched birds, breathed the sweet air. I miss her already. I keep thinking she's going to come tell me it's dinnertime, or I watch for her when I walk from room to room thinking she'll be there. I'll miss her rubs on my ear at night the most.

I don't own a cat, but my sister-in-law recently posted a picture of her and my brother's cat on FB, and I thought it was such a lovely portrait of a cat, I saved it.

Here’s a ridiculous photo of my cat, now named William Bill, when he was a glamour Puss. This is a professional photo his former owner had taken of him. This is when he was on the show circuit.

but he doesn’t look much different from all of the other handsome, well fed, tabby cats in this thread.

Kay, I'm so sorry. It's awful. On the other hand, I love all these photos. No cats here anymore except a visitor when her mom is away.

Okay---you kids have some VERY impressive cats! Yup. But yeah--I was a disreputable cat breeder, producing unwanted Oops! Litters. I had a littlebitty gray breeding pair, and guess what? One of their offspring is a huge yellow bobcat, very good natured, too But not much like mom & dad. Figure that out.

Kay, I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful kitty. May your memories sustain you. We are always watching our current cats and talking about the cats that have gone before. And I swear we have some ghost cats...

Yes, she was, Iris, and thank you to all of you for your condolences.

It's so strange here today without her. I keep listening for her, watching, forgetting momentarily she's not here anymore. It's remarkable what a disruption in the pattern of living the loss of a pet is. They really keep us on a routine, and now it just seems "off."

I miss her.

I love looking at pet photos. Isn't that why the internet was invented? So I am finally getting around to uploading pics of Louie (orange and white) and Raymond (dark tabby). I just love Louie's yoga moves.

our orange and white cat is a tiny Persian, less than 5 pounds. She is the best cat in the world! She was born in Germany and ended up in Persian cat rescue at age 7. Most Persian cats are bigger, some much bigger.

our brown tabby cat is an American Shorthair, i.e, regular cat, who happens to be “ purebred” whatever that means.But 90% of street cats are American Shorthairs, so it has little meaning.

Okay---One way to combat the inevitable grief of pet loss is the multi-pet household, with cats of varying ages. I see people who can't cope with a new pet because one they have doesn't "like" the new one. Some people have high expecting of a VERY orderly life. But yeah--get together a cat family, and get used to it.

I like the cats, John.
I'm very curious about the stove. Can't remember every seeing one like it.

How does it work? It looks like you are drying towels in the right compartment. The door is partially open.

The heat, according to the kitten, seems to come from the left compartment.

I love all the cat photos! I am petless by choice, but I sure do miss having a kitty around...

https://i.postimg.cc/2qXJnfVr/IMG-4047.jpg

It's a Portuguese stove made out of cast iron, very heavy, around 1350 pounds.

This stove doesn't need a lot of wood burning to conserve energy, it's stays cozy all through the day with minimal refill.

https://i.postimg.cc/VrXyqLpn/Imagem...4-d78cc379.jpg

On the left, you put wood, there are bricks on the sides and back, that is the 'agent' that allows energy conservation in the form of heat.

https://i.postimg.cc/XX7zvqJm/Imagem...8-8a534794.jpg

On the right, there's the oven, where you can make roasted food, like chicken, or a cake even.
As you might know, food cooked with wood, tastes very different, also takes longer to cook, though.

https://i.postimg.cc/TyLvPcck/Imagem...4-241fc7f0.jpg

The reason the door was open is that I wasn't trying to rise the temperature to cook in the oven.
By opening the door, that heat conserved in the oven, could get out, and climatize the kitchen.

https://i.postimg.cc/ZWqhGmvz/Imagem...3-82803ff8.jpg

On the top, there's the grill, where you can put pans, and cook.
On the left, where's the pot pan, the temperature is higher, it's right above the fire source.
There's also a bar, that allows you to put towels, or anything else to dry up.

Okay---nunya kids photos were of cats butts. As you know, cats show off their butts. I guess it's a sign the that like you. Butt yeah(ha)--- how bout some butts?

John, thank you for the detailed information about that remarkable stove. It looks like it's in wonderful condition and clearly can serve a lot of purposes at once.

We heated with a wood stove for many years and I did some very simple cooking on the top of it. But your stove is unlike any I've seen in the houses I've visited. Very nice.

I looked further, John, and see that stoves like yours are available here and may be popular with "off the grid" and other adventurous folks.

I'm linking to a few:

If when the sun rises, you get out the house and go to work, this kind of stoves will not be practical if you want to cook in them, you'll need to keep putting wood, and in Portugal, in the region I'm at, it's not cold enough to have this stove at high temperatures all thought out the day. In the Russian taiga, these stoves were and are still used, they heat a space like nothing I've ever experienced. I was raised with food from a stove like this, and I guess that's what made me buy one, they are quite expensive, but never die. If anyone in the US wants to buy something similar, there's these Spanish stoves here, free shipping in the US territory.
