lori Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 How true. I would love to snuggle up to that Lynx. I watched a show one time on TV about wild cats and at the end of the show, the host made the comment that having a house cat is the next best thing to getting real close to the wild cats, only a miniature version.

Raspberrybelle Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Doesn't that cat look really relaxed and content? That feeling is infectious and may be one reason people like being around cats.Belle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 She weights about 75 lbs...probably would be a few less in the wild.After the 'Tweety Bird' incident in college, a mutual love of cats is what brought my wife and I together. She had a stray she had just rescued from behind a grocery store and I brought her a bag of cat food Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 Kirk, I love the "kitty" in the photo!! She is gorgeous!! However, I would like to know how she is doing in light of the fires in your area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted September 7, 2011 Author Share Posted September 7, 2011 Thanks for your concern Miriam. The 'kitty' is in an area called Stallion Springs, where we used to live. It's at the far west end of the Tehachapi area; in fact, a block west of my old house it's straight down 4000 feet! Anyway, the fire is on the extreme east end near the windmills, so kitty is safe. Just for fun, here's the view to the west (hope you don't get wobbly knees : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You're welcome, Kirk!! When I heard about the fires the photo you posted of you and the kitty popped into my mind!! It is a relief to know that Kitty is safe!!As for the photo...well it just makes me want to get a piece of cardboard and ride down that slope!!

lori Posted October 30, 2011 Share Posted October 30, 2011 When we had our old dog, Mindy, our cat, Trixie, used to smack her all the time. I pitied Mindy because she was 15 years old and hard of hearing and her eyesight wasn't the best, but she just ignored Trix like he wasn't even there. He hardly ever hits our son's dog, Jordi, or our beagle, Jake. Don't know why he picked on poor old Min all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darlene Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Kirk, gorgeous cat and gorgeous wife too! You hit the jackpot! But so did she--she has a gorgeous husband. (Your wife, not the cat!)I grew up with a wonderful dog, Jingles, who was a dachshund, with a little something else mixed in. He was the rake of the neighborhood--the world was his oyster. We had him from the time I was 2 until I was 15, then he had throat cancer and the dr. gave him more anesthesia to put him to sleep during the operation because it was too far gone. We were all devastated, as he was a true member of the family.Later, a friend had an adorable cat, and I was won over by kitties as well. I love dogs and cats both. How could anyone not?Thanks for sharing these gorgeous photos!--Dar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

missm Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Paulie, thanks for reviving this thread! I love cats but am alergic so the only cat I can have is the one in my avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missm Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 That article ticked me off!! I don't understand why the Human Society is always seeking and getting donations and then they do something like that!! Crap is what it is!! No matter what they do they cannot bring Scruffy back!!

LatetotheParty Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 I also am allergic to cats which is too bad because I really like them and have had a few in my life...But Miriam, I just had to say that IMHO you have the most awesome avatar on ec.com!!!
