A new portrit of Minnie, my wondercat :o)

[b]I can too, as I had cataracts on both eyes last year, & couldn't see diddly squat. I hated most being unable to see well enough to read. I crave reading! Minnie used to have her food on a counter, but now has it on a low table. Were I able to get to the floor--my osteoarthritis prevents it--I'd put it even lower! I changed it because--without stereo vision--she got so couldn't judge heights very well, so she couldn't always hit the counter. Plus, I've no idea what her age is, but she might have a bit of trouble if she gets arthritis. I do know she's very susceptible to airborne allergies. Her eyes water terribly during hay fever season, & I just hope they don't itch madly as mine do at such times. I suffer from hay fever, but I can take meds for it, at least. I don't even know if there is medicine for kitty allergies, nor could I afford it if there were! Anyway, you're the first visitor to drop by! Glad you enjoyed the pic! Thank you!

I got Elic, my BFF & helper, to take Minnie outside the other day & get a new (& much better) pic of Miss Miniver Whitecheek. I count 3 unless BFF means something else. lol She's adorable!

[b]LOL! Oooookaaaayyyy...ya got me! Except Elic IS my Best Friend Forever AND my helper! A triple threat...so to speak. I'm glad she's legal now, too, as had they known I was violating the rules, I could have been ousted from my apartment immediately! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

[b]"Three people?" No...only Elic took the pic. I couldn't because I must use a walker, & couldn't carry Minnie, & of course, it's Elic's phone, & she knows how to use it (I'm clueless! ). So, only one. What, did I misprint something somewhere? Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

[b]Yeah. But most of the time the "nips" are painless. More of a "Pay attention! Pet The Cat!" sort of nip. I think it's sort of cute. Of course, after the 3rd time of "petting" her with the vibrating arm rest, she got annoyed enough to make it felt. I read her the riot act about it, so she left. I'll make it up to her later. Kitty treats. You know. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

[b]When it comes right down to it, all cats are odd...in one way or another. That's one of the reasons I love them so much; I'm an odd bird myself! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

yes, my little guy, Barron scratched my boyfriend so much when he was getting him that blood was dripping everywhere. he ruined a couch of the people who abused these cuteness, serves them right. Now that same Barron is the sweetest cat in the world. He follows me everywhere around the apartment just to get more hugs and kisses. I can't even imagine why anyone would want to hurt these guys, they are so sweet and adorable, and how funny they are... oh... Barron just came over to ask for more hugs... never mind, he just got up and ran after his brother... lol he is the sweetest, cutest, fluffiest tyrant in the world lol

[b]Most ferals are like that. It takes a lot of love & dedicated patience to win them over. Even then, they're always a bit haunted-looking. But they're so grateful, usually, when they figure out they've "struck it rich," that they more than make up for the attendant tribulations involved in taming them. It's always best to take them in only when you can be assured you have the time & patience to deal with their deeply justified fears. And you have to expect scratches--even some hard bites--& be able to shrug them off. But I promise you, they're worth the effort! Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

[b]How sad! But you know, Elic's allergic to them as well, yet she has herds of them! She went to an allergist years ago & got treated, so now she has no problem. Right Elic? (You still here?) Yes, I find Minnie adorable, too. I must admit, however, that I find nearly all cats adorable, even when they're chewed up, bent-tailed alley cats! It's just...one look at those gorgeous eyes & cute whiskers, & I'm lost. Too, I'm sure I have "Cat sucker/slave lives here" marked on my front door in invisible cat "ink" so they always find me--& how can I resist those wonderful faces, not to mention the sad cries? "Oh, come on in kitty...please?" Yep. "Sucker." And loving every minute of it. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]
