For Our Cat Lovers:

[Buenchico]

This cat was mis-treated by its owner and thrown out onto the street, unable to walk. The guy in the video rescued it and nursed it back to full health. They now make a really beautiful partnership, don't you think?

mum ignores me but her dter sits half way up my chest, padding, purring & staring at me. I have to sit on my hands else she licks & bites them.

Pasta:
My lot are cooperative enough until I want to put flea treatment on their necks. I finally managed to catch Biscuit a few days ago, after several weeks of trying, but I've been chasing Moonbeam all day long (and for many days before).

Tambo:
Chequers (the big black and white boy) is the one of mine who's obsessed with licking my hands. He'll lick almost anything though and provides a useful 'pre-wash' service for my dinner plates after a meal ;-)

My neighbour where I used to live had a cat like that. She was called Molly and she couldn't stop pawing visitors (me) She was black and white and in my experience, a lot of balck and white cats are very affectionate. Maybe it's something that is bred into them.

My friend's ragdoll greets visitors as if he were a dog, running up to greet them!

I know that cat in the video isn't black and white but you get my point..

[tamborine]

Their tongues are rough, like sand paper. Is it hinger or affecion?

[Buenchico]

Some 'experts' say that cats lick your hands to get salt, Tambo, but there are plenty of other theories:

Thank you Buenchico, that is lovely. What a lucky cat, happy cat. Just like yours are.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Marval.

Fevzi, in the video, is very similar to my lovely Biscuit.

^^^^^that wasn't supposed to happen...
Anyway...tambo, she's/he's gorgeous!

I just flea treated Caspar tonight...not sure I got it all on him as he kept wiggling away. :(
But if he doesn't get done, he suffers with flea dermatitis. Everything goes pink under his white coat.

[Buenchico]

Sorry if I seemed to ignore you (and your cat), Tambo. I've been doing other things and I've only just come back to this thread.

She's absolutely gorgeous!!!

Pasta:
My Biscuit suffers with a flea allergy, meaning that he ends up with semi-bald patches if I can't get the treatment onto him, but it can take me weeks to catch him (and, even then, I can't always be sure that I've applied the stuff properly). At least he seems to have grown out of his epilepsy though; it's 16 months since he last had a fit.

My last cat thought that swatting things off shelves was a good way to wake me up.





Maybe we could have a 'my favourite cat video' thread?!

[Buenchico]

I've learned never to put anything delicate on a shelf, Susan.

We seem to have 'favourite cat video' threads almost every day, don't we?

;-)
