Bad Influence
|
When my cat had kittens, I was fascinated by how five cats raised in the same home by their mother and myself managed to develop five very distinct personalities.
Tux hated me, and would have nothing to do with me at all. Since he had his father's perfect tuxedo markings (hence his name) and his mother's velvety Russian Blue coat, he was adopted out first. Tiger was a lazy slug of a cat whose only concern was eating. He would lay on his side with his head in the food dish and eat that way, then wash it down by knocking over his mother and getting a few swigs of milk. Sasha (his mother) would occasionally grab him round the neck with her paw and give him a quick bath, and although he was twice her size, he submitted to this willingly. Blotch had highly asymmetrical markings, was very long and lithe, and had a head shape reminiscent of a Siamese. He spent almost all his time in my room, and disappered whenever visitors came by. He would lay on my chest until I went to sleep at night, then move to the top of my headboard. When I woke up every morning, he'd hop back down on my chest and purr until I got out of bed. Blackie was solid black, and at best only tolerated petting. She lived to play with and chase anything that presented itself, be it a sibling's tail, a ball, or a stray dust mote in a shaft of sunlight. Merlin was solid grey like her mother and was an absolute shameless love sponge. No lap could ever remain un-curled-up-in, and no visit to the bathroom remained private for long while she was around. While her siblings got to hear "Get it!" and "Here kitty...", Merlin rarely heard anything besides "Get off me, Merlin!". She was never fazed in the least.

Nope, but it sounds about as awful.
Err, anyway. How about some more cute pictures? |

"I wanna be an ugly duckling too!!!"
Alternate caption: "Whoah. Looks like some of us spent a little too long in the incubator."

I've heard of black-on-black violence, but kitten-on-kitten violence?!!!
BTW, sniper kitten has his own wallpaper if anyone's interested.

Sorry about your hamster ((((Emily)))) I had one of those too, but after it just kept falling over one day we took him to the veterinarian and it turned out he had to be put to sleep. I love animals too much to watch them die, but atleast he died after living a happy life Quote:

Sneakers was a short-haired pure white kitten and had a total diva attitude. He'd throw honest to God temper tantrums if he didn't get what he wanted. He'd start hissing and his tail would pouf and he'd roll around angrily on the floor. He liked to sleep in people's shoes, especially my mother's high heels. Gumdrops was a long-haired brown tabby with white 'glasses' around her eyes. She was the sweetest cat, but a bit dim. She liked to scratch at her shadow on the wall. All day there'd be this awful "scree scree scree" of kitty claws on the wall. Smooklin was another long haired tabby and also a sweetie, but he was adventurous and climbed everything in the house, including the door frames. He liked to clean people's hair for them. (Ow.) |
