Why are we looking through a door/screen?

Because it was impossible to take a pic with her jumping all over me and it was to warm to close the glass door. ;-)

Cheers.

I could conceivably be bi- or even tripetual, but none of them would be a dog.

I've always, since I was a kid, thought it would be cool to have a Habitrail snaking all over the house, but fundamentally I'm too lazy to clean the main cage. It would also prevent me going on extended trips.

I also think it would be cool to have model train tracks snaking all over the house, but I'm too lazy to clean the house first so I can build the tracks.

bipetual

a person, or a description of a person or a group of people, who likes both dogs and cats (can be used as a noun or an adjective)

Behave you lot!



Cat's and dogs are basically the same so I've noticed, I mean if it comes to understanding and love.

Wiggo, unless I missed it. You never properly introduced her. What is her name?

Ahri, don't ask me what it means though, but it may have something to do with 1 of the kids PC games.

My youngest informed me that it's the name of a character out of League of Legends and yes it would be very nice to get the leash problem over with Uli.

Or maybe "Zelda" Mark.

Cheers.

Ahri shall serve well, I am sure.

If I found a captivating enough young kitten to replace Squirrel, I might be tempted to name her Neytiri of the Na'vi.

I'm fairly positive that no other dogs around here will come to me when I call her Mark. ;-)

You could also name a female kitten "Uhura" coming from "Uhuru"; meaning "freedom" in Swahili.

Any kitten I ever 'own', as in she owns me, shall be free.

There is just such an overriding sense of what comes with a cat sharing one's life.
Sharing, not controlling or overriding, really.
They share every aspect of my life.
From the first moment I wake until the moment my senses leave me to sleep for the night. My first blink at daybreak. They are always there.
Watching over me, caring, loving, kitties.

It is not something that I make up. It is not something that I embellish.
It is real, it is.........simply................kitty.
There is nothing I can compare it to.
I am kittenesque because they make me so.

There is nothing I can say to change or alter it.
They are simply my life.

And I would not have it any other way.

Meow.

That is a raccoon kit popping that bubble wrap. The babies are always so playful! The adults tend to be all about the food... when it is arriving and when they will get more.
