The QQ pet & critters thread...

Okay, definite hissing and growling from Ms. Charlotte this morning. Slowly, slowly, . . .

So, things are going just as would be expected with two female cats now living in the same house.

This is Zinnia. She is 10 years old today. All American girl!

Take another pic with better focus this time, otherwise your furry princess will be offended.

Well, Jazz made it through the 4th just fine. We were in the theater (bonus room bijou) for much of the evening, and the noise didn’t seem to penetrate too much. Old episodes of Law & Order from the DVR.

Looks just like my daughter's tortie, Batista.

Katt is really settling in! The boxes behind her are to help her up to the window sill (she is missing her back left leg)

Those colors are amazing, I bet they look even better in person. I never saw a cat with colors like that

I heard her described as a “torby.” There are several patches of tabby in her coat.

A real sweetheart, until she wants something. Then she can turn into a major PITA. Especially if she’s hungry at 3AM.

She’s mostly brown and black, with (as noted above) patches that are clearly orange tabby poking through. Interestingly, the carpet in our house is quite similar in color and texture, so she can “hide” in it on occasion.

She likes to sit at the top of the stairs and look down (no idea why - she never explains anything), so I had to install a night light up there so we don’t trip over her in the dark.

Rather bizarre reflection of Janee today on the car's bonnet (or "hood", as you might say):

 

[Clement]

Going to be a hot one here, so Katt is chilling on the bathroom floor . . . and showing off her three legs!

When I was a teenager our family had a 3 legged black cat. Named it Tripod. Nickname was Trippy.

Had she not come already named, i may have gone with something like those! Sometimes i call her Hopalong Katt-sidy!

When we picked up Jazz from the cat orphanage, they called her Nitro. She didn’t answer to that, and we didn’t think it really fit a sweety like her. With that crazy coat, I thought “Camo” would be good, but then that got twisted a couple of times to “Coma,” so that was out. I eventually decided “Jazz” was fitting for her, again based on her fur. She still doesn’t answer to any of them.

We saw mamma and her fawn last evening while walking around the neighborhood. They seem very acclimated to humans as I was able to get closer than I though I would for this pic.
