My temporary cat pulling her "Oi! Pay attention to me!" face. No, I don't know how or when she figured out she could do this, but she can and she does.
An English pointer, he's a lovely animal round the house, but is only now starting to develop decent recall as he nears three years of age
Ah yes... Kiki... She's the one that everyone says "oh she's so beautiful, such a "proper" cat, so elegant. She looks so clever"... And yes, she is a smart girl, that's the Siberian Forest Cat in her. However, the Ragdoll half means that she doesn't really remember to use those smarts and we get... Derp: As for being trustworthy, kinda. With all of them, the amount that they can be trusted depends HIGHLY on the situation. Kiki can be trusted to never grab your hand during belly rubs (she loves them), she can also be completely trusted around Winston as she absolutely ADORES him. However, she can be a bit of a git to Freddie and has days and moments where she growls and hisses at Sophie. Sophie doesn't suffer fools too well through and gives her a WTF look and just stays out of the way (she is a smart one and definitely uses it), however, she cannot be trusted around food. Freddie is much the same with food although he is a bit fat and lazy when it comes to getting it. Ginge (Winston) is just super gentle to everyone and everything, always has been.
One of our dogs died while under aesthetic and had to have CPR performed on her while being treated for encephalitis, as they were doing a spinal tap. Prior to being put under she had ballooned in weight due to the drugs they were giving her for the brain swelling. Fortunately she pulled through and has lost 20% of her body weight since she could come off the drugs. This is one of her first hydro-rehab sessions..... https://imgur.com/a/LluHl9d
Heh, a doggy bag. I'll admit it, I ain't generally a fan of tiny dogs but that is cute AF. Glad to see her on the mend
Thanks, she was very sick. I wasn’t a fan until we got her. We now have 3 but she is still the smallest. Her and the second one are basically cats who like you. The third is a long hair and is almost terrier size so like a good walk each day.
this thread is the best How have I overlooked this thread for eleven years?!! This is Leela. She's not with us any more, we had to say goodbye last summer. She was 18 and her health was just getting worse and worse. In fact, this was the last photo of her I took... She was grumpy as hell and deaf as a post. But adorable nonetheless. Fairly soon after adopting her we learned that lying like this was absolutely not an invitation for belly rubs, not if you value your flesh. She was incredibly affectionate... but it had to be on her terms... ...Even if that affection sometimes came with claws attached... I'm glad I was in the room with her when she went, but it was absolutely heartbreaking. I still miss her, but I like to think that she had a good home in the 13 years she was with us. This doofus, on the other hand, is still very much here. This is Fry. And yes, he will quite happily flop over in my arm like that for as long as I care to hold him. We adopted Fry when he was just over 6 weeks old, he was a tiny little thing that I could more or less hold in one hand. He is a complete and utter muppet, but he's absolutely adorable. Flopped out on his back is possibly his favourite way to relax. He has many great qualities, including... TOE BEANS! You can't really tell from these photos since they're not in any kind of chronological order, but he's much more svelte these days. He'll always carry a spare tyre or so 'cos he's an indoor cat, but at one point he was a serious chonkyboi at around 6.5kg. But he's lost nearly a kilo in the last year. When Leela was still here it was imposible to stop him from eating her food. She would pick, nibble, and leave food for later, and he would just inhale it in one go. No matter what we tried, we could not stop him from demolishing the rest of her food. Even separating them into different rooms and closing the door wouldn't work; we had to open the door back up at some point or one of them wouldn't be able to get to the litter, and that's not fair on them. They... did not get on very well. This was about as close as they would routinely get to each other. There were times when they slept almost on top of each other, but it was incredibly rare and Leela would have be asleep already before Fry approached. I expect to see many many more photos of your pets. Edit: He shoes too big for he feet <3
