I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
yeah, all right. i suppose.
Meh. The thrill is gone.
That's one big, ugly fucking cat.
but NTodd, its owner is a tall, blonde Venezuelan. Surely that must account for something.
(/snark)
BTW, I love that Cairo has a stick in every photo.
/raises eyebrow
tall blonde Venezuelan friend
He totally looks Venezuelan.
Maybe a very tall Venezuelan canary?
hey, I remember when Chilis was just a kitten. He was a tiny little thing, but his paws were monstrous... and, yes, he got rather large.
He was named after a longshot horse we bet a bunch of money on (probably $5), who came out of the gate way ahead and was winning until he got bored and tired and gave up.
I want my babycatbabycatbabycat...
I once won $400 on a horse named Taco.
And yes, I bet on it exclusively because it was named Taco.
For the liberals you are, I cannot believe you would knock this animal. Comon, he's a cat! Is that not enough?
So, who do I see about formally requesting Friday Tall Blonde Venezuelanblogging?
I like this cat. He's a cat with personality, this one.
but NTodd, its owner is a tall, blonde Venezuelan. Surely that must account for something.
Oh, it does account for something. But let's throw the cat outside and talk more about the tall, blonde Venezuelan. Oh, wait, I like tall, blonde Brazilians. Nevermind.
BTW, I love that Cairo has a stick in every photo.
You wouldn't love it so much if she smacked you on the shins with those damn sticks all the time! We're still working on personal boundaries after 10 years... 
(Why am I assuming that it's a female tall blonde Venezuelan? Is it because there was an "e" in blonde? Is it because guys's haircolor isn't usually mentioned? Is it because I always think of women as somehow more likely to have cats? Or is it simply wishful thinking?)

I believe he's actually a "gato'. Technically speaking.
I think he's cute, in a rugged, "get that fucking camera out of my face, you goddamned paparazzo" way. Like Sean Penn.
Hey, that's a damn cute cat.
Looks like one I had in college
named Galactus.
I once won $400 on a horse named Taco.
I once won $0 on a horse with no name.
The more I look at Chilis pic, the more I keep thinking, Christopher Walken, playing the Continental. And I have not a clue why.
he's a mean of sonofabitch. I think several bird species native to St. Louis will soon be on the endangered species list.
Cats look and behave identically.
he's a mean of sonofabitch.
Ah, so I was right! Sean Penn with long fingernails...and a taste for house finches.
I once bet on two horses that were running in the Grand National while we were in Northern Ireland for a wedding. I chose both horses because they had "American sounding" names. One of them (Mr. Boston, I think) stumbled and dumped it's rider on the very first hurdle. The other did the same on the next hazard. Both horses knocked out of the running in the first thirty seconds!
I had to buy the whole pub a round...
No two cats are alike.
he's a mean of sonofabitch.
Cats look and behave identically.
That explains it! He looks like my mother's cat and he's always trying to kill my mother, and then she runs after him yelling and shouting. A happy symbiosis.
He totally looks like a mean sonofabitch.
Old Hat - BBBBZZZZZZTTTTT. Wrong. They're as different as, well, you and me.
I understood Old Hat to mean that cats look the way they behave.
I bet on the winning horse in the Kentucky Derby. Can't remember the year. Sometime in the 80s. Anyway I chose the horse because of its name:
Gato del Sol. Stood in line behind William Fabuckley. Thought that would jinx me, but it didn't. I won! I won! I won!
So, who do I see about formally requesting Friday Tall Blonde Venezuelanblogging?
Eli
I second that motion.
Wearing those micro bikinis, of course.
Not me, the blonde Venezuelans.
No two cats are alike.
Personality-wise, perhaps, but I got a comment from a lady in BC who later e-mailed me pics of her catL he was a dead ringer for our junior cat, Sam. I was astonished.

Atrios
Jeez, you wanna tell me about it.
I have a half dozen feeders in my backyard (got to keep the birds going through the winter) but my sister's massive bow-legged cat Hobbes spends a lot of time over here, and he parks under the damn trees waiting.
The weird thing is, he seems to prefer to catch and release (I've even managed to grab a couple from his mouth and revive them), but much of the time they seem to expire from the shock.
I have big guilt issues about luring birds to their potential death, but I'd feel worse if they starved. I just hope it all balances out on my karmic ledger.
"A Horse With No Name' sounds like it

As I recall, America specialized in baffling lyrics. Like "alligator lizards in the air"...
Wow, what an incredible look of disdain he has. I love that about cats. In a shameless effort at catblog whoring check out the adorable little thing on my site. Earlier today, after about 10 minutes of purring and being affectionate he jumped on the floor and rolled over on his back purring. When I reached down to pet him, wham! Hit the arm with teeth and claws, got a major vein. A bruise the size of a golf ball. My wife said, "oh, he didnt know he was hitting a major vein" to which I said bullshit, he is a fucking genetically programmed killer, he can sense the heat from the big blue veins. Still love the little guy though, he just gets a bit overexcited at times.

My cat never kills anything she catches. She just toys with them. It's sadistic
nice pussy

Atrios,
Go figure--a red-state cat fucking up the wildlife population!
SteveNS-put a bell on that cat!

Well, I did have a really predatory cat for a long time, ruthless in the extreme, who ate everything she caught (including bees and junebugs) but there was quite often some playing with the food, too.
Don't know the appeal of it for the kitty, but then I've never had to catch my own food either.

Karin
I don't doubt it!
I've considered the bell even though Hobbes isn't mine, but the aforementioned "ruthless" cat (Pepper) that I had years ago had an uncanny ability to remove her collars. Seriously, we'd put one on her, she'd head outside and a few hours later she'd come back collarless. After going through three collars or so, we knew we'd been outsmarted.
Hobbes may not be as clever, but I don't doubt he'd find some way of neutralizing his bell.

steve simels
Was your cat surrounded by a crackling aura of Kirby dots™?
Plus, if the cat was Galactus, that would make YOU his herald. You're probably still imbued with the Power Cosmic!!
Cooooooool.
My family once had a cat that hunted with the bell. He was very successful. We saw him walking across the backyard and nothing but his paws moved.
My cat has a big nasty ruptured abscess on his chest. I have been wrapping him up like a cat burrito to pour 1.5 ml of icky white amoxycillin down his mousehole. The vet said that where the owie was (it looks like a stoma, like he's going to pull out the voice box and say "mmeeeee. Oooowww. Don't smoke kids!) it was clear that he was the aggressor, not like the ones who get butt abscesses.
All I can say is, I feel something for Roy Horn now. Maybe 13 lbs worth.
SteveNS:
He always looked out of perspective.
You know, huge forepaws, etc..
Hunting is a natural instinct, and it mostly doesn't bother me too much. Dead mouse on the door mat? Good cat! Dead mouse in my briefcase? Thanks...do I look thin? Running over chunks of blue jay with the lawn mower? Uh....thanks for not bringing it inside. Half of a dead baby bunny in the food bowl? You got me there, pal.
I bet on a horse named Grindstone one year. It made me 5o some dollars. I bet on it because of its name, too.
That is a pretty colored cat. Sometimes those cats have some great patterns in their fur. I wish we could see the whole cat.
Yeah, it's their personalities that are unique. Lots of variety in looks but not uniqueness.

Speaking of cats, I took my 3 to the vet last Saturday. 2 got vaccinations, the new cat had a checkup because I was worried about his health. The vet looked him over and sold me some antibiotics and 1 1/2 worm pills. He said to give the cat the antibiotics (7 days worth) then give the cat the wormer as the wormer is hard on the stomach. Well, I started him on the antibiotics, but he was coughing nastily, so I decided to go ahead and worm him. BIG MISTAKE. The poor little thing was not strong enough, yet. He puked and puked, next thing was bloody mucus from his tail end. He moved very slowly and would eat and drink nothing. He's finally eating and drinking, but not much. He is so skinny. I was afraid he was going to die. I called the vet on Wed and set appt for evening. I got home and took the new cat carrier apart. I put him in it and tried to put the top on. He got out. I put him back in. While trying to get the top back on he got out, again. Finally, I put the top on and tried to get him in the carrier.. uh uhn, he wouldn't go. I called the vet office and told them I couldn't get him in the carrier so cancel the appt. I figured that if he had enough energy to keep fighting with me about the carrier, he was on his way back to good health.
Oldwhitelady, I hope he is okay. They are certianly tough creatures.
Thanks Sentenza - By the way, I checked out your blog and your kitty. What a cutie. By the way, I blogrolled you Hope you don't mind.
oldwhitelady, they are So strong, SO stoic.
Nothin' like a kitty.
We could all learn from them.
Good luck w/your critter.

Chilis is very very adorable!! All cats are wonderful....even the evil ones....
Thanks Sarah Deere. I had some bad days there. I think I've learned that my kitties' doc definitely knows what he's talking about
oldwhitelady.
Cats are love, pure and simple.
I'm thinking of you. I don't "pray" - but I do think and focus, and...whatever passes for love that I am capable of.
Best wishes to you and yours.

How about Friday Rat Blogging?
I have a little house down the hill. It had been vacant except for a family of birds who were nesting in an old hanging flower basket on the porch. It was fun to watch the parents flitting back and forth, feeding the chirping babies--until that damn cat came out of nowhere, jumped in and killed every one of them. I can still hear their screams.
I hate cats!
Yunno, cats, these days, belong inside. Then, there's not that problem.
cats pee on my porch things and make life smelly.
Meeowrrh!
Drina, don't do that. Rats make me melt into a puddle of "oh, they're so cute"!
So, now you're cavorting with Venezuelans? Cats even?
Watch your back.
Chilis is cool
cats pee on my porch things and make life smelly.

Natures Miracle should fix it. It really works.
Nice tiger cat. I had one when I was four, mean, nasty thing it was. Unnutered male (no one had them fixed back then) almost scratched my little brother's eye out. This one looks better behaved.

Animals have their own agenda, they don't share our culture either. They are not the ones turing the world into a toxic waste dump. None of them voted for George W. Bush, they didn't even vote for his father.
people aren't clever.
Thanks SD. Thinking and focusing is great! I got up this morning and fed Sgt Mango a handful of Tender Vittles. He ate pretty good. He can't eat the whole package, but at least he's getting some down... and keeping it down I read what I posted about having some bad days. What I really should have written was that HE had some pretty bad days. Mine were just filled with worries.
My three indoor kitties found a live bird that somehow got into the attic. They chased, caught, re-chased, recaught all morning. The intrepid bird flew toward the window, of course, the only apparent escape route, and all three in unison like a dolphin act jumped over the back of the couch in pursuit. The sight of those three hopeful and erect tails and three fattish-indoor-cat bums going over the sofa was so funny it cracks me up even now.
I grabbed the bird, to take it outside
to let it die in peace, and the dang thing took off and flew out of the yard!
Ahhh, Chilis....reminds me of the guards in the film "Cool Hand Luke"...
..."The Cat With No Eyes". Unlike the cats of Atrios w/ the Laser Eyes.
yeah way to be Atrios, U.S.-Venezuelan solidarity!
Chilis says,"I'm way way too cool for this, man"
Assuming Chilis just moved to St. Louis, and assuming Chilis roams free outside chasing house finches, I'd give that cat an expected life of 4 months. The dogs or coyotes will make a nice meal of him.
So, who do I see about formally requesting Friday Tall Blonde Venezuelanblogging?
Google had one tall blonde Venezuelan
Clearly there's a niche here.
EPT:
what'sup with the hit on dogs. why do cat lovers such as yourself, have to bag dogs to feel good about your pet choice?
grow up!

Jeez, I was just making a joke. It's a Triumph the Insult Comic Dog song.
My cat has a big nasty ruptured abscess on his chest.
There's nothing like a pugnacious cat that's a crap fighter to wind up costing you a fortune. The last big injury Alex, my sumo-cat, suffered cost $350; that was an office visit, anaesthetic, surgery to put a drain in the wound, a head cone, antibiotic, and follow-up visit. Then he became a housecat with a bad attitude, reminding me at every corner, very smelly. :-| We survived that, but I sometimes wonder how.
I've learned that I can clean the wounds with peroxide, soak them with a warm, damp cloth, and finish them off with a generous dabbing of tea tree oil. Both my cats love the attention, love the hot compresses, and do fine with the tea tree oil, and they'll both fight me to the bitter end when the pilling or liquid medicine starts.
does anyone know what kind of cat that is? I had a great cat that looked almost EXACTLY like that one; he died a few years ago. he was a big cat named "toes"--he had enormous dew claws that made him appear to have six toes on his front feet. we found him in the street, though, and always wondered his heritage...
any help would be awesome
thanks
