[morea]

aid, here is a thread on what steps to take if your pet is lost. Actually, it deals specifically with cats, but a lot of the steps are the same.

http://www.catforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=7722

I would also be sure to add that you should contact every single shelter and animal hospital in the area. If your dog manages to slip her collar, these are the people who would likely find her and if they know that she belongs to you, that's a head start in getting her back home.

[Annie Social]

I really am a cat person, I just don't happen to have one right now. Actually, it's probably a good thing, as a cat would probably eat the pet I do have.

they look so content Mo :D

You sure have beautiful little felines :)

lmaooooo ... the clint squint :D

[budafist]

Awww cute! I must post pics of our new flatmate Mentex. She's a cutie.

[budafist]

Charlie is fluffier than the Jack Russells I've seen (http://pics.hoobly.com/full/c05b66c133ea2d3a485ef482ad2141e1.jpg)...

Does he have something else in him?

[urstwile]

Aww, cute pix Buda. Those pink pads are killin' me with cuteness.

Charlie's very cute, but he is fuzzier than most of the Jack Russell's I've seen. Is there a long haired variety to the breed?

[budafist]

The pink pads kill me too Urst. I don't think she realises how dangerous it is for her to sleep like that with her pink paws exposed. I want to grab her and snorgle her up.

[urstwile]

She's definitely very snorgleworthy. :)

[budafist]

I just had to check if snorgle is a word:

Snorgle (Snorg, Snarfle, Sqush, etc., etc., etc.)

Snort + Snuggle. Summarizes the situation when you moosh your face into a fuzzy wuzzy smoochie wiggle and make googoo noises. First appearance on Teh Qte™ was here.

Try it with a hedgehog. (Wear snorgoggles.)

Great glossary here. (http://www.squidgrid.com/cute/Glossary.htm) :)

[urstwile]

That's a very snorgly glossary, Buda. :)

[obesebee]

Buda - you can get two types of Russells, long (or wire) haired and smooth haired. Smooth ones are more common I think, probably because they nicer to stroke!

[budafist]

Wow her eyes look just like her ball! It's like she's got eye camo.

[DesignStudio]

yeah that's just a lighting trick I guess, they only look like that at certain angles every once in a while. Normally they're just dark brown. it would probably be kind of creepy if her eyes were always glowing green.

[budafist]

...or if they glowed the same colour of whatever was in her mouth at the time....

[morea]

that's adorable! What a sweetie. :D

[Red Kittie Kat]

Aww Alex what an adorable kitty :)

[urstwile]

Very cute kittie, Alex! :)

[budafist]

Yes a big bun indeed. Perhaps he would like to penpals with Sharmi (http://www.budafist.com/sharmi.html)?

[CatintheHat1]

See, Urst, that's EXACTLY why I want to be a house kitty. There's no pretense when you know you're god.

As for big bunnies, this dude isn't photoshopped. I want one.

hey why does it gove a link to a page file not found ?
i put there the photobucet URL and it doesn`t work..

Leonard looks just like my Othello and Urstwiles Darla!!

[tuliptree]

Leonard looks just like my Othello and Urstwiles Darla!!

I just looked back at the photos, you're right, they do look alike! Does Othello have any funny habits? Leonard likes to eat photographs (he likes the coating), and he also has a fascination with underwear and bras, he likes to steal them and drag them around like prey (he's an indoor cat). Not kidding. If we have overnight company, we have to warn them. I told a friend of mine who was housesitting once to watch out, and she took the warning lightly. She later informed me she found her underwear strewn around the house!!!

[urstwile]

Darla has a fixation for ripping paper to shreds. All we have to do is throw a piece of paper or part of a newspaper on the floor, and she instantly rips it to shreds with her claws. And no matter how many toys we've gotten for her, her favorite is an old Christmas ribbon.

[urstwile]

She's purty!

Hi urstwile! I'm new, just getting to know folks here. I hear (and see) you have a matching kitty! Do you use Darla as a paper shredder? :)

[cornfed]

Othello used to have a lot of weird habits. He used to love to use our dirty laundry as a litter box. He loved to play with paper and string and milk jug lids. He had a leg amputated a year and a half ago. Now, all of his strange energies have gone into hissing at his phantom limb. I think it drives him nuts sometimes. Lots of evenings he sits there and hisses at it and confuses his tail for his leg. If I scratch his ear on the side of his missing leg then his little leg stump goes to town like he's scratching! He's very loving and loves to give kisses. I call it exfoliation but I think he really thinks he's cleaning me. He also loves to lick my hands after I've put on lotion!!

Awww...what happened to his leg? (sorry if I am asking a question that you may have already posted).
Does Othello have a lotion scent preference?
I love kitty habits, the are usually so funny.

[cornfed]

My kids let him out on halloween. He got scared and ran off. Then he tried to jump a fence and got his leg caught in the fence, thus breaking it in half. Then, when he tried to wiggle himself free he dislocated both of his hips. (This is what the vet said) He laid for 9 days until he was strong enough to make it home. Once he made it home, he had lost half of his body weight, was anemic, dehydrated and his leg was starting to rot. The vet said he was waiting for the pain to subside before he could make it home. The fence story makes sense cause we lived by a coulee system that runs through our town. His bone was exposed and black. He was a mess. Took him to the animal er where they wrapped it up and sent me home. Then he went to the vet and they amputated it the next day. We didn't repair his other dislocated hip cause the vet said he would grow scar tissue and that would be just as good as surgery. He said the surgery might not work as well anyway because scar tissue had already started to form on the non-amputated leg and that could complicate matters. He gets around pretty good for having 3 legs but recovery was slow and difficult. I'm still paying for his surgery!!

[tuliptree]

Awwww, poor Othello. Poor you! What a story. I'm glad to hear it had a good ending though.

[budafist]

Cool clowns! I like drawing clown fish (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=366837&postcount=37). How many do you have?

[John G]

Thanks! Just the three at the moment. Planning on getting the odd one out a mate, but the tank hasn't had much in it for a while and I need to stock it slowly. I'd like a pair of maroon clowns as well, but I need more money and more space for that (each pair pretty much requires a seperate tank or they like to kill each other).

[Typically]

sweet fish and reef! what size tank do you have?

[John G]

the pair are in a 29 gallon with a 10g sump and 10 gallon refugium.
the single is in a seperate system of jus a 15L gallon.

[morea]

congrats Brie!

[urstwile]

Yay for you Brie!

[amiart]

After 15 years of living with me.. My Blanca died last night @ 12:30..

I can't believe how much a person can get attached to a pet.

[urstwile]

Awww, Amiart, I'm so sorry for your loss.

The loss of a pet is really an emotional experience, you shouldn't feel weird that it's hard. They're a part of your family. After 15 years, there's no way not to form some type of bond.

(((hugs)))

[morea]

I am sorry for your loss, amiart... are you familiar with the story of the Rainbow Bridge? (Author Unknown)


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.

[cornfed]

Amiart, I'm sorry for your loss, too. It is so hard to lose a pet. You're in my thoughts.

[Ally]

I think the python is purty. :)


thanks, he's growing pretty fast. He should grow to be about 4-5 ft.


truly sorry about your loss amiart.

[budafist]

Oh no! Amiart, it's always so very hard to lose our animal friends. I lost my bunny Sharmi a few weeks back. We talk about her a lot and we miss her very much. It doesn't hurt as much as it did though.

[urstwile]

Those are great, jojo!

[Red Kittie Kat]

(((Amiart))) sorry for your loss .. I know that feeling all too well the past few months. My heart goes out to you.



Great shots Jojo :)

[milano.design]

i'm sorry tohear you lost a pet aimart. what kind was he? hopefully it was from old age?

thanks for the responses to my critters. They are all like children, aren't they?

[urstwile]

Indeed, Jojo!

Cute puppy, ~Interested~! Is that a golden retriever or a lab? They both look so similar when they're puppies.

[!~Interested~!]

^She is a golden retriever. Yea, Labs also look similar when pups.

[urstwile]

I <3 golden retrievers, had one for fourteen years.

[milano.design]

Goldens are the perfect dog....always had one growing up. my mom has one still. and she is awesome. She keeps naming them (3 of them) the same thing. So now we are on Sparkle #3... i think there is some therapy needed there of somesort...:)

[urstwile]

LOL, Jojo.

We had two standard poodles (not at the same time). They were both named Bambi. But distinguished by being either Bambi 1 or Bambi 2. :D

[!~Interested~!]

yea, I had a golden retriever growing up and she lived till 14.5. Also, My mom had two growing up and they were both named Ginger.

[budafist]

I don't think I could name another animal the same name as a dead pet. You guys are weird. :D

[carter the artist]

Yay!! it looks like I'll be having a pet soon!!! my buddy with the bengals has decided that the runt is a bit uncomfortable lately with other larger males around.. so as soon as one of my roomates leaves next week, I'll have my own bengal..

[Virgo Nightingale]

Like, as in bengal tiger? :confused:

That's a little more than a pet! :D

[The_Black_Knight]

Like, as in bengal tiger? :confused:

That's a little more than a pet! :DThere are some breeds of domestic cats that look like smaller versions of exotic/big cats. I'm hoping that this is the case here.

Just think about the food bill when a tiger is fully grown. And the litterbox cleanup. Yikes.

Plus, my cats are scary enough when they get freaked out, and they weigh less than fifteen pounds. Can you imagine trying to deal with a tiger, which has paws as big as your face? Double yikes.

P.S. Here's the Wikipedia entry on Bengals. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bengal_cat) They're a cool looking breed.

[carter the artist]

unfortunetly it is only the smaller domestically breed variety. But they are soo cute, and they are very playful. they are like dogs in some ways. I had already bought one of their kittens for my g-f.

[WannaBrie]

I love bengals! They have the cutest spotty bellies! I hear they are very fiesty, so get ready to play ALOT!

[carter the artist]

I love bengals! They have the cutest spotty bellies! I hear they are very fiesty, so get ready to play ALOT!

yeah, I know. I've played with this cat since he was born... Plus they love to get into everything and nothing is out of reach for these guys since they can leap and climb. But they are sooo cool.

[WannaBrie]

Post pics when u can, dying to see this new guy!

[carter the artist]

of course. I have some at home, but I will definetly post some.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Sweet Spider :D

[sweet*pea]

Here is my kittie, Spaz. I found him when he was only a couple weeks old, so I bottle fed him day in and out. After a few nights, the 3 am feedings were got old.

[morea]

what a sweetie!

I can definitely sympathize - I've had to tube feed kittens before. They had to eat EVERY two hours around the clock. The things we do for love, eh? ;)

[Virgo Nightingale]

TOO PRECIOUS!!!

*going into cuteness overload...*

i just wanna squeeze him! too cute!

[Two-Toe Tom]

and Carter!!! I love Cairo ... his markings are fantastic :)

[urstwile]

What a beautiful cat, Carter! :)

[carter the artist]

He is so playful. He likes to wake me up way before my alarm goes off with putting his toys on my bed.

[urstwile]

Aww, Icekitty, cute cats. Thomas is my definite favorite, I love his pose, he looks like a lovey dovey cat. :)

[BJMRGTIVR6]

He's so cute! He looks like a snuggler!

[Tea]

Oh, yeah...he's a snuggler alright. I should have named him Barney, short for barnacle.

[morea]

very cute! You're great with a camera, Tea!

[morea]

here's me and my weiner dog, Rerun. dog's on the right.

I don't think that there was any question about THAT! ;)

What a sweetie - how old is he?

[raerae]

I don't think that there was any question about THAT! ;)

What a sweetie - how old is he?

he's about a year and a half, pretty much the cutest thing i've ever seen, if i do say so myself! i've had him since he was just a few weeks old! he's my little gentleman.

[Tea]

Raerae...that is a cutie-patootie of a pup!

Thanks Morea. I don't even own a decent camera. Borrowed that one from school. One of these days.

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww .. does puppycat have that extra toe.. or am I seeing things?

[urstwile]

Great pics everyone!

[icekitty37]

Hrmm, maybe, I never noticed.

[urstwile]

Quiltfacearmy, my neighbors just recently got a Boston Terrier puppy, he is so cute, and quite a character. :)

Great pics everyone!

[WannaBrie]

great shots! I had been thinking of adding another animal to our furry family, but its going to have to wait til finances are better, so in t he meantime, its nice to look at what everyone else has! :)

[budafist]

People, post up funny pics of your furry friends so we can caption them a la the caturday thread....if you want.

[urstwile]

Aww, Carter, Cairo's so cute! I love the first shot. :)

Looks like you and I have the exact same carpet, by the way. I wonder if that's a so-Cal thing?

[carter the artist]

Aww, Carter, Cairo's so cute! I love the first shot. :)

Actually I don't think you remember this, but I was the guy waiting behind your dumpster as you threw away all the extra unused carpet when you put yours in.

[urstwile]

Given the fact that we are renters, um, I think not. :D

[Liquid Layers]

Actually I don't think you remember this, but I was the guy waiting behind your dumpster as you threw away all the extra unused carpet when you put yours in.

I drove right by Casita's lake a couple hours ago, and I saw the sign for the Pirate festival.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Every pic you post of Martell makes me we want to give him some pettin's. I've always noticed that with cats, white fur is the softest. He just looks so soft and sqeezable. Don't worry, I won't squeeze him too hard! ;)

[Exodus]

I r sshleeepy cat.

I go sshleep now. K Thnx Bye.

[morea]

he is so sweet. VERY huggable! :D

[frankster]

Our Skronky was a white cat, but he was rough as a bog brush (toilet brush). Lovely cat though.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Aw... he looks huge! (the cat ;))

[cnic]

Shhhh... VIRGO,

What if JgS is just very small. YOU DONT KNOW!

.... no really, thats a big cat... looks like a panther.

[JgS]

Aw... he looks huge! (the cat ;))

He's pretty good size. Not sure how big but I'm 6' if that says anything about his size.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Good lord. My cat (http://www.graphicdesignforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=354729&postcount=93) fluctuates between 9.5-10 lbs. She looks bigger, but she's mostly fur. My bf's mother's cats (brother and sister from the same litter) are about 15 lbs. apiece. And they're most certainly not all muscle! :D

[WannaBrie]

Good grief, that's a big panther/kitty you got there JgS!! My sisters cat was almost 20lbs before he passed away. He always was a big fat cat, you'd think that would've shortened his life, but he lived to be about 21.

[DesignVHL]

VIRGO! 9.5 thats a smaller - probably average kitty...Mine are like 11-14lbs - they aren't fat just big!! One of them has some Maine Coon in him so I know that has a contributing factor.

[Virgo Nightingale]

Yeah, she's a delicate flower. I gave her a bath once (which I don't think I could ever do again!) and it was amazing to see how small her body is once her fluffy hair is wet and clinging to her sides.

I've always considered average weight to be around 11 lbs for your average housecat. Put some Maine Coon DNA in that thing and all bets are off! Those things can get damn big!

[urstwile]

Aww, Martell, himz so purty. Which is not to say the others aren't as well, but Martell is just, well, Martell. :rolleyes: He's like the Barry White cat of GDF. :D

JgS, your cat and mine look like they could be twins. Although I don't think she's as big as yours is. :)

[JPnyc]

Since we're sharing...

[urstwile]

Oooh, new toy, JP? Or is that the one you used on your last vacation?

[JPnyc]

It's new. I took the shot with the cam I used last vacation. Lot more complex so a learning period will be required

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww Joe its so cute ... boy or girl? :D

[JPnyc]

... boy or girl? :D
Yep! Absolutely!

[Red Kittie Kat]

well that's clear as mud ..... ty Joe :D

[JPnyc]

It's an equal opportunity camera.

[Red Kittie Kat]

Ahhh I see :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

JP: Does it fetch?

[JPnyc]

Not exactly. But it does produce "fetching" images! ;)

[Virgo Nightingale]

That it does, yes, that it does. :)

[cornfed]

Those are precious! I love the tongue one! That's a really cool shot!

[urstwile]

Those are awesome Scott! :)

[DesignerScott]

What a cutie indeed, although he looks like he's about to kill something with wild uncontrollable ninja moves!

[Typically]

gorgeous kitty! i've been thinking about getting another cat now too haha. 1 just doesn't seem enough =]

[morea]

congrats on the adoption, DM!

Nice pics, DesignerScott! I love the close-up of the tongue.

[Danger_Mouse]

haha funny you said Ninja, he has alot of kungfuish moves for sure.

half siamese....already showing to be pretty smart

[Virgo Nightingale]

She's sooo pretty, DM!

[Red Kittie Kat]

great pics everyone :)

Scott that tongue pic is awesome :D

[DesignerScott]

Yah, I figured you and Morea would get a kick out of it.
I'd only had my macro lens for a week, and was wildly taking pictures of everything. When I went through the pictures later, I was just shocked and surprised! I had no idea! (I'm the dog person learning to love cats, and my girlfriend is the cat person learning to love dogs)

[morea]

good compromise. ;)

[urstwile]

That kitten is gorgeous! I lurve him almost as much as Martell (hey settle down, Mo, I said almost!).

[morea]

aww, they're precious. Are they holland lops?

[SpugNothuson]

http://aycu16.webshots.com/image/26615/2004350339158618494_rs.jpg
Mutant bunny with huge green tongue! Arghhhhhh! :eek:

So cute. :rolleyes:

[budafist]

We call them mini lops here which I think are called holland lops in other countries because we don't seem to have holland lops in other countries. Do you have mini lops in Qbik?

So my final answer is maybe-yes.

[Red Kittie Kat]

aww How cute :D

[budafist]

Lola is pretty.

Different coloured eyes? Ha! I was just saying in another thread that Frankster might have a baby with a brown eye and a blue eye. Maybe her baby is your pup...or something...

[Red Kittie Kat]

lmao yep .. heterochromia is a common trait in the Siberian Husky's .. or so I have been told.

[urstwile]

Is she a husky or malamute? I tend to get those two mixed up. At any rate, she's gorgeous! I'd heard about both those breeds that they are very much on their own terms about most things.

Edit: nevermind, husky, I guess, since it's not unusual for them to have those different colored eyes. Again, she's gorgeous. :)

[Red Kittie Kat]

Thanks Urst ;)

Funny story .... We were up at the lake last weekend and we brought Lola with us.

While we were eating my sister wanted to put Lola away from the grill and food. I hadn't paid much attention but she came back up the path to the lake and said she hooked her up to a cement block. (my brother has them scattered around - don't ask me why) I no sooner said I don't think that's going to hold her when she came galloping up the path dragging the block behind her.

My sister said I thought for sure that would hold her. I said .. well she is bred to pull sleds ... and she calls me a dumb blonde :D

[frankster]

She looks very very cuddlable with that fur! When we are more settled and know for sure we won't have to put a pet through months of quarantine then I'd love to get me a "furry baby".

[Red Kittie Kat]

She is very cuddly and loves the kids .. one of them is always sleeping on her :D

[morea]

We call them mini lops here which I think are called holland lops in other countries because we don't seem to have holland lops in other countries. Do you have mini lops in Qbik?

So my final answer is maybe-yes.


I'm from the US originally, so I'm not sure what they would call them here in Quebec. They speak french here, so there's a different word for everything. :D

There are currently 47 breeds of rabbits recognized by the American Rabbit Breeders Association (http://www.arba.net/photo.htm). (I used to raise Tans and Netherland Dwarfs.)

Of these breeds, only 4 breeds are lops: English lops (which our GDF member CatinHat1 has) which have an ear span of about 36" from the tip of one ear to the tip of the other; French lops which are the biggest lops, if I remember right (it's been a long time); Mini lops, which grow to an adult size of about 8 pounds; and Holland lops, which reach an adult size of about 3 or 4 pounds.

[urstwile]

Awww! :)

Geez! So Holland lops are even smaller than Mini lops? That's pretty darn small.

Martell is looking very pretty in that pic. It's very hard to tell what he's thinking. Can you tell Mo?

[frankster]

Looks to me like he's thinking "Mistress has that camera thing again, but she's paying attension to me with it and so I am happy and contented. All is good in Marteland".

[urstwile]

One of my favorite Martell features is the wispy hairs inside his ears. :)

He's saying "pleeeeeeeeease can I have a cat treat? Please? Look how adorable I am!"

He got one, too.

[morea]

aww! That's cute.

Funny, you can buy them a nice, soft cat bed, and they still want to sleep in shopping bags and empty cardboard boxes. :rolleyes:

[Typically]

haha right? i bought him a bed and he used it for the time when he wasn't feeling good now hes back to sleeping everywhere. i couldn't believe he fit in the bag like that though i couldn't stop laughing at him.

[urstwile]

That's such a hilarious picture, Typically!

[frankster]

Our cat Gibblet used to charge across the room and dive into any carrier bag that you put down. Then she would sit there in it and wait for you to carry her to another room in it. I swear she thought carrier bags were some weird form of teleportation device because she'd get in one room and when she came out she'd be in another room.

[urstwile]

LOL, Frank, I'm getting such an image of her thought process with that story. :D

[Typically]

hahaha my roommate tried to pick up the bag but he freaked. he does the same thing though now. he'll jut come running past the couch and tackle the bag its so funny. i think i watch smokey more than the tv most nights he's just too funny

[urstwile]

That's great, Typically. :) I get a great deal of entertainment out of watching Darla, my cat, as well. She literally makes me laugh out loud sometimes. :D

[Virgo Nightingale]

Tootsie makes me laught out loud too, though usually because she's done something retarded. My bf and I think she must've gotten dropped on her pretty little head as a kitten.

The other day I threw one of her toys from one room, across the hall and into another room. She went to go chase it, but instead of going straight into the other room where the toy was thrown, she turned and went sprinting the other way down the hall. :rolleyes:

She also has this weird habit of meowing and meowing, begging for attention... But then you go to pet her and give her lovin's, and she turns and walks away. 30 seconds later, same thing... WTF???

[morea]

aww. Cute pictures!

[emucru]

Oh there are plenty more. It seems we only take pictures of our pets now. We hardly ever photograph family and friends. I guess they aren't as interesting! ;)

[Red Kittie Kat]

[WannaBrie]

Adorable emucru! Kiesha is a beauty, and it looks like Rudy wants to eat that scarf!

Well he didn't eat the scarf but he did eat the floor underneath him. I came home and the vinyl flooring looked a wavy ocean. It was pulled up and in some spots it was just chewed to pieces. He looked at me like "It was already like this, I think the cat did it!"

[Red Kittie Kat]

too cute :D

[budafist]

Wow! That's a big cat :)

[urstwile]

Buda, that animated GIF makes me smile. :)

[DonnaL]

awwwwwhhh what a cutie!!
Unfortunately I have to get rid of my kitty... I'm moving and can't take her with me (moving to Australia).

[WannaBrie]

Aww cute! Typically, I didn't know you got a new kittie, she's beautiful! I've been considering getting a friend for wilson. he's so frisky and I know he gets lonely when I'm at work.

Sorry to hear that Donna. Do you have someone to take your kitty?

[DonnaL]

Sorry to hear that Donna. Do you have someone to take your kitty?
Yeah.... I've been advertising her in our paper.... but if no one takes her, my co-worker will take her.. she's got 2 cats already and doesn't want to see her go to the pound... so... she's got a home... either way.

I had removed it because I realized that I already posted it on the previous page. ;)


Martell looking precious:

[Virgo Nightingale]

Typically: She's a beauty! She has similar markings to mine, but with shorter hair. Glad to hear she's getting along better with Smokey!

Mo: Great shots of the always gorgeous Martell! He just looks so soft and cuddly... It's amazing the silly places/positions they find to sleep in, isn't it?

Brie: Love how your Wilson's eyes are crossed, trying so hard to look at what he's nibbling on!

Donna: Sorry to hear you have to give up your baby, it's sad when you can't take a member of your family along wherever it is that life takes you. I'm glad she does have a place to go.

[DesignVHL]

morea, what camera, lens and settings are you using to take these? They are gorgeous! And those of us w/ kitties know it isn't always that easy to get a great shot - they can be so random! Charlie likes to come up to the cam lens and see whats up too..but sometimes he'll get lazy. They ALL know i'm doing something though and I think they pose for me sometimes...the dog too - i swear he smiles! :)

[morea]

the camera is a Canon PowerShot S2 1S... it doesn't accept additional lenses. I generally use the "scene" modes and just select something appropriate based on the lighting at the time. When it's overcast out and I'm using indoor lighting, I use the "indoor" setting, when I have more natural light to work with I use something else. I wish that I could say that there was more to it than that, but with cats I think it's more about having the patience to get a shot with good composition than it is about the settings that I use. I don't often have the time to fiddle with custom settings because the little buggers move around too much. :o ;)

Here's one of Tyrael checking to see if I'm still at the computer... it was dark so I had to use the flash.

[Virgo Nightingale]

What a cute "peek-a-boo" shot!!

[WannaBrie]

You have kitties at work?! Oh I am so jealous! I would love to have a kitty at work! Of course I'd probably spend all my time playing with t hem and then have no time for GDF, um, I mean work.

Yep.... Pica helps me label the papers on Thursday... as you can see in the photo on the other thread... she sits on top of them.

Cooper likes to stick his butt in the other co-workers face while she's trying to type

they pretty much have the run of the place. Cooper greets people when they come in. Pica..... well, she's a little snob.

But yeah, during some down time, we play with them using a lazer light. So flippin funny!!
