:-)) Sunday Cat! #266 4th November 2012 ((-:

he just folds his paws and props himself up as if he was at a bar, occasionally he sees the neighbours cat go by

this time he jumped down and was immediately surrounded by curious chickens - i was too busy laughing at him try and scramble back up over the fence to get a decent shot

While I was cleaning up the yard I noticed Kitties might have found something, after a closer look they found their first ever prey.

Chyna and Dave + mouse

mouse play dead

I was happy that they were finally doing their job and I fully expected they would take care the business, so I left them alone.

I still kept a close eye at them and after a few min, the mouse was able to escape under the watch of TWO ADULT CATS, I am so disappointed in them.

I have seen cat playing/killing/eating mouse and I still can't believe how that could have happened....

My brother's beautiful black boy, Wendell, who had to make that last long trip to the vet last Friday.

He was a lovely, sweet cat who was always convinced that everyone he met had a side of beef secreted about their person, just for him.He was quite ancient, and his kidneys had well and truly packed it in. He was much loved by my brother.

This shot was taken last year when he was asking me to produce that side of beef ...

Vale, Wendell. You were a great cat and good companion to my brother.

Me too!! Do ya think this will get me into the Sunday Cat thread??

The cast of characters ... Buddy the one who loves to lick, Blackie his main squeeze, and Cooper the Wonder Dog just enjoying life to the fullest.

Momma Kitty is mother and grandmother to many of the wild cats that have come and gone in our back yard. We hadn't seen her for several months and then, one night, there she was, sitting on the brick wall while I practiced trumpet.

Anna, one of her grandcats, was waiting for me at the top of the stairs when I was finished:

I've got to go. Buster just bumped me - he wants back rub.

What a beautiful cat - I'm sorry to hear of his passing.  He'll be missed, but he'll also be remembered!  Thanks for sharing.

Dusty sure has a nice vantage point.  He's keeping an eye on things while you're busy!

Kudos to Chyna and Dave - they just wanted to play and the mouse was very wise.

It's good to see them get along so well - it's not like what I read in the news.  Just another reason to visit this thread every week!

Hi WarriorMouse,

Hi WarriorMouse,

Thank you for mentioning Blitzer in your weekly news, Blitz was very pleased to hear that, and yes he is pretty big cat but I think he is just a little over average for a male Maine Coon being about 8,5 kg and for those still using pounds (18lb 11oz) I always think he gained weight over the time we have him but luckely he is still the same weight, still a heavy lift to pick up

Hi Stan Tsui,

Nice images, special the second one, a wise mouse playing dead saves the day (and his life)

hahaha!!! CAT FAIL!!!

your cats are broken! maybe you can get a refund?

but to tell the truth, my flatmate has just got a couple of white caged rats, and he keeps them as pets - but Dusty avoids them at all cost - i don't understand why he wont even go near their cage, he doesn't even watch them, and when i picked him up and took him near he jumped out of my arms and was off in the opposite direction! and yet he will chase a laser pointer my cat is broken too!
thanks for posting - i think you were incredibly lucky to get those shots!

you both have my condolences and sympathies John, it's never easy time when it's in the family like that.

haha yes!

Conrad you were lucky to get one with his tongue hanging out so far like that! great shot!

hi Wayne, maybe you should practice more often?  did it make you feel better to know she misses your company? I think I would have given her a treat or two!

haha he has you well trained
