I'm bringing this thread back because I found a hella adorable photo of my dog and I needed to share it somewhere:

My condolences, Eich I went through something similar recently (like, April) with my cat, only he passed away while we were travelling. He was quite a lot older though, like... 16-17?

I wonder if it makes me a bad person, feeling thankful that I wasn't there when it happened...

We used to have two other cats, and one of them died while we were on a trip. So we're waiting in line for the ferry, and we get a call from the neighbour who's looking in on them, saying that she arrived and he was dead on the living-room floor... :'( I still miss Jeely.
The other, we got home from ... going out to dinner or something? and found him in convulsions on the floor.
...dammit, now I'm tearing up.

Noooooo sad pet death stories nonononno DDDDD: *clutches pet who was recently sick*

I have a cat named Tuxi (short for Tuxedo 'cause she has a white mouth/chin, chest, belly and paws) and she's 9 years old now. She's sweet and a little detached with people (was feral from birth until she was taken to the animal shelter when she was about a year old), but a complainer if you don't feed her what she wants She likes me the best by a little (my mom's the next favorite), but that's probably 'cause I'm usually the one who feeds her XD


This was taken maybe three years ago


Tuxi gets more playful at night so her eyes are really big here


My sister's petting her, and, as usual, Tuxi's trying to get away. Poor cat XD My sister used to chase her until she caught her, so Tuxi used to run away at the sight of my sister coming towards her

What a little cutie! Reminds me of my aunt's similar-colored tom Charlie, who used to wiggle in behind your back at dinner to watch you eat and beg for scraps ever-so-quietly. Meanwhile her huge dog just stands there and lets his eyes do the talking for him.

This is my big grumpy kitty.

This is my big grumpy kitty.

That kitty does look pretty grumpy, BUT I also spot a welsh flag and a copy of Smallworld! I love that game

[Ana Nymus]

What a pretty kitty! My grandpa's cats were also born feral, and they're really skittish. But sometimes they come in at night and curl up next to you to sleep, which is precious.

She does look grumpy, but also very pretty! (I'm guessing it's a she because I think I see a tortoiseshell pattern, but my apologies if I'm wrong  )

Awwww! Tuxi doesn't do that, but she will wiggle between my mom and the back of the chair while my mom's working XD

Your cat's adorable, grumpy or not

I would like to introduce you all to my darling little biting whirlwind of a fuzzball, Mariel ^_^
It's kinda difficult to get a good picture because she just doesn't stay STILL  ??? but I tried....
The last one was from the time she managed to get stuck in the toilet roll tube, we're really not sure what exactly happened there, maybe she was trying to tell us she wanted a corset ........
She was a rescue ferret, and has caused us no end of trouble with her antics (she managed to escape and break the boiler in the first week!), but there's no way we could ever stay mad at her

Heheh, I almost made her a christmas hat last year ^_^

Spoiler: show

(she wasn't very amused)

Dddaaaawww, a ferret! I love those slippery little carpet-sharks, so full of wonderful mischief! Unfortunately, they are illegal in the state I live in  :'(

Yep and we have a lot more games were that came from too! (hmmm, maybe I'll start a game thread.....)

Thanks! Her pattern makes her look even grumpier!

What a cutie pie! I've always found ferrets to be interesting. What's her disposition, more dog or more cat-like?
That Christmas photo reminds me of the time we stuck our previous dog in a bee costume for Halloween. He got so tired Dad had to carry him all the way home from his walk. XD

Ah, that's too bad, but it's so rare and nice to find other people who are familiar with the loveliness of ferrets. Even here where they're legal they aren't a very common pet :/

Well ferrets generally are neither cat or dog-like. We've had three, all with very different temperaments. They seem to have two modes: asleep (for like 20 hours a day) and bouncing off the walls (all this energy is probably why they sleep so much). They're cat-like in that they don't listen to anyone, but we have trained her not to bite (at least not hard, she seems to nip as a form of trying to tell us something), and to come when we shake the treat bottle, but that's all she's willing to do. Ferrets are also generally kept in cages different to cats and dogs because if left to roam around the house unsupervised they get into all sorts of trouble. You take them for a few hours each day to play

Heheh, yeah, pets don't really like being dressed up do they ^_^ Poor tired doggy

Oh, I see, very informative. Thank you. One of my old neighbors in Germany had a ferret, but it was so crazy/hyper you could barely see it tearing around a corner in the house.! And I think any pet would come for a rattling treat container. It's how I got our dog into bed when I didn't want to carry him up the stairs (he had short legs and might we might have been a little too enthusiastic about food for a spell). XD
