The Cat Thread

[drogulus]

    My current favorite internet cat is Tommy, partly because he doesn't meow quite right. It comes out like "nghheow", which is fine as far as it goes. He's always scuttling around like on a secret mission having something to do with chicken.

Yes, a beautifully-patterned cat.  And, yes, I'm not seeing a waist (sadly).

I'm glad I found this thread.    We have four cats of various ages.  Here is a photo of Simon, our most adventerous cat, going for a ride in the car.

*Edit:  Apparently attached photos are shown twice.  Sorry for the multiple Simon photos.

Simon is a very distinguished looking cat!

A lovely looking cat!  Are these general drive arounds and then back to home?  Or how does he deal with errands/trips?  Concerned that he might run away when the doors are opened...just asking and trying to figure out how your and his life work.

Best,

PD

p.s.  And still trying to figure out how to do a like here.

p.p.s And he has beautiful coloring!

To " like " a post, hit the " thumbs up " symbol near the bottom- left corner. It's a toggle, so you can hit it again to " unlike " something if desired.

Thank you!  I had thought that the thumbs up was someone else already liking the post! lol  Back to morning coffee for me.

Thank you for the compliments, everyone.  This was a short trip to pick up pizza.  I ran inside and left him in the car.  I don't take him on rides very often.  He leaves white fur all over the place, as my wife pointed out to me (that was in her car).

Mark Twain, by the looks of things. Wasn't aware he was a kitten fanatic, though!

Yes, it's of Mark Twain (who apparently was a major cat fan; so much so that when he traveled he rented kittens--as he couldn't bring his own cats along with him)!  I've found a number of photos of him with his kittens or cats.  He also was a dog fan (Shush). 

I love this quote:  "If animals could speak, the dog would be a blundering outspoken fellow; but the cat would have the rare grace of never saying a word too much."

PD

p.s.  More here...I wonder who that gentleman is next to him (both covered with cats!)?:  https://pictures-of-cats.org/10-photographs-of-mark-twain-with-his-cats.html

I can't really tell, but to me it looks like Teddy Roosevelt. But since Twain is on record as having called Teddy the worst president America had ever had (clearly, he was around before 2016!), I don't imagine he actually socialised with him to that extent!!

Lovely quote here: ""Mr. Roosevelt is the most formidable disaster that has befallen the country since the Civil War – but the vast mass of the nation loves him, is frantically fond of him, even idolizes him. This is the simple truth. It sounds like a libel upon the intelligence of the human race, but it isn't; there isn't any way to libel the intelligence of the human race."

Plus ça change, indeed.

So I have no idea, basically.

I tried doing a google image search.  It found the photo, but when I clicked on the site link, no further info there.  He does look to be well off (clothing-wise, hat and highly polished shoes).  Perhaps a fellow writer?  At least another cat lover in any event! 

Another good quote from Twain:  "If man could be crossed with a cat, it would improve man, but deteriorate the cat."

The England team have befriended a cat in Qatar

The England team have befriended a cat in Qatar

Two from what I could see (checking online).  "Dave" and "Paul".  Perhaps they are permanent "guests" of the hotel, restaurant, or somebody nearby?  Nice of the players though to share their food with them.
