Collar's Frivolity

[MeekMe]

I agree, I've stepped on too many toys. (-｡-;

This one is the reason we have a child safety lock on the pantry cabinet. We left one day for a few hours, when we came home we found her in the cabinet covered in flour. She thought it would be fun to destroy a bag of flour. f^_^; Since then she's been opening cabinets, drawers and closets.

She's so beautiful Meeks!!
Is she a torti or all black?
The kitty boy love of my life was Siamese, but now I have all Tortoiseshells, probably always will from here out. I think they are adorable, though some people don't understand the draw of their patchy coloration. Here's one of my beautiful girls. I buy them boas from yard sales, etc... they love them!

I love that look!

she's all black. We got her before she was old enough to leave because her mother was in an accident. They gave her to us while her eyes were still blue so I had to feed her baby food and teach her to use the litter box. She sleeps on me every night just about.

She normally just looks really annoyed in pics, this one is an anomaly

My cat is getting very active, she only slept 14 hours today.

Maybe you should take her to the vet

Somehow I think she may be turning wild, she stopped yawning when she watches the birds at the bird feeder.

They are ALL beautiful. Tbh its not that I think Siamese are beautiful I have them, there are plenty 'prettier' cats, its that our nature's fit well. I'd probably do well with any orientalish cat. We have had an all black moggy two, and we inherited feral cats with the house, who sadly now have all reached the end of their lives. We are torn because while farm cats are useful and feral cats need homes, I prefer to have cats I can more easily help with things like parasite control and medical care.

In different ways they are ALL beautiful.

Rescues hear report black cats and black male greyhounds are among the hardest animals to rehome. .

C'n'C you said you had not fashion conscious kitties, do they not wear the bias? My handbag kitty ( not the blonde) would!

Why am I not surprised that Shank has a beautiful, pantied pussy??

I don't know about dogs, Elle, but here black kitties are the hardest to place as well Torties fall into that category. My Siamese that I had was 1/4 Siamese, so he got the full chocolate point colouring and the blue, crossed eyes but not the angular body. I then got a grey girl kitty and kept one of their babies, who looked like a sealpoint - grey Siamese colouring, blue eyes, no angular body. Both of my Siamese boys had... interesting personalities

And no, kitties don't wear the boas, they annihilate them! I constantly have feathers all over the house, but that's ok... The evil enemy is vanquished daily!

I agree that the personality is the most important. We play a big part in that. Lovely kitties readily really from lovely human companions

One of the best compliments I had was from a very fierce dog breeder and show judge. I said 'I have been very lucky really, with all my animals'

'Really Elle, there is almost no luck in it, you MAKE them.' As my greyhound no likes biting people this suggests I have gone off piste somewhere, . after dogs in the three figures I finally have gone wrong.

Yes well, my kitty boy liked to wiggle around and act cute towards strangers until they reached out to pet him, at which point he would bite them It came in handy with strangers I didn't like. I would just leave the room Maybe they are more like us than we care to acknowledge

（＾_＾） I love when they have funny patterns like this.

Unfortunately, black cats have a "reputation" for being evil or causing bad luck. I've found that black cats are particularly loving. My little one sleeps on or next to me almost every night. She has a routine with Mister. When he gets into bed at night she follows him and before he can get the covers over his chest she's already trying to lay on him. After a little bit, she switches from him to me. She either lays over my arm, or we lay back to back. It's pretty cute.

I've always loved black or mostly-black cats the best, although orange tabbies are a close second. My downstairs neighbors in Brooklyn had a pure black fella (with thumbs!) named Bosco, and a mostly-black named Yonkie, who had a white bib and splotches over his eyes so he always looked startled.

One of my close friends here has two orange tabbies who I adore. They are talkers and very friendly.

My cats are very sociable. If you came to visit they would be on your knee, or shoulder in minutes .

The little dog doesn't like to have people loom down on him, he likes to say hello to people in his own time, some people he never bothers with, some people he follows round at a distance but won't let them touch him, others he adores and leaps upon. If he likes you he grins at you. My girl is extremely protective and rather defensive. She was attacked a few years ago, then we get broken into a bit here. She doesn't like me going out without her, or people coming to close to me, or being on a lead, or....... but other dogs she'll let come and play here, I can trust her with chickens etc. Once she knows people she is ok, tolerant. She fell in love with one of the builders which was sweet, as she is more inclined not to like men. ( she has not had a bad experience with them though).

Unfortunately at the moment I have scaredy cats... one knock at the door, loud sounds of any sort buy especially the doorbell or any other person coming into the house, and they disappear. They don't come out until a good hour after the person leaves, even if it's just a pizza delivery I am bound and determined that the new baby girl will not be a scaredy cat!!

Our pet rescue place has special discounts for black cat and dog adoptions as people don't "how cute" them often. Many people have difficulty "reading" the face of a black pet due to very little color contrast. Not seeing the "cute" instinct often leads to an assumption of threat.

So it goes...

My little dog is white. Now that's a silly colour for a a dog. He's almost always sort of yellow between baths.

And Siamese? Your dark clothes get white hairs, your light clothes get dark hairs...

My other dog is brindle, so sort of dog tortie. She is so beautiful people cross the street to ask to stroke her and I have to say , 'sorry, no'

Well I never reasoned it out before, but brindle is my favourite doggie colouring. Knowing I prefer torties, it all makes sense now. Thank you for helping me make sense of the world!

My guess is genetically its different, I close my eyes and go 'lalalala' as much as I can when it comes to colour genetics for colour genetics sake because it leads to some very bad decisions being made, and is complicated and not interesting enough for me to apply head space too accept where there is application beyond colour. There are people who concentrate on breeding animals for colour ( like breed) beyond regard for health or anything else. There are some very interesting looking brindle horses for example. ( not seen in real life). Indeed, remarkable ( but often apart from the colour, remarkably ugly too.....and in an animal bred for 'work' of some sort remarkably ugly can mean not just not cute, but prone to injury from how in looks when its body is put under demand of exercise). ( btw, there are tortie point Siamese....)
