DIVA CATS! (And other pets can play too!)

Meet Lilou! She’s already 7 but plays no less than a kitten. When not playing, she is a master smuggler. I got her at a shelter as a kitten. Since then, her favorite companion in the house (apart from me hopefully) is…the vacuum. She’s literally in love with it. She hugs it, gives it kisses and of course awaits for her turn to be vacuumed when I clean the house.
That's hysterical! Rascal gets all ready to run if we even open the door to the closet where the vacuum is kept.

My first cat was named Lilo, after the stage name of a singer who was performing nearby when my father brought her (a pregnant fluffy Siamese or Himalayan) from his office, where she had apparently been holed up. I loved that cat so much; she was my nighttime companion through all my hard times. She loved having her tummy rubbed. We would spoon in bed and she would purr me to sleep while I rubbed her belly.

For Christmas my sisters and I pooled together money to get our parents a kitten. Her name is Satin but everyone slips and calls her Satan. She was 4 months old in these pictures. She loves the usual cat things but is also fascinated by screens. I couldn't keep her away from my computer and if you put on fish videos on YouTube on the tablet or phone she'll attack the screen. Modern kitty!

I'm currently a thousand miles from my kitty so I don't have a photo here. Many years ago two political science professors moved from GA to SC across the street from me. While they were in GA students brought him a tabby they'd been caught with in the dorm. "Moonshine" became theirs with no choice given to his wife, and then moved to SC. Soon I, too, had adopted him. He was ~very~ terratorrial on our block and I found him flying fir with neighbor "Jasper" one night when I came home form dinner at their house.
As I walked across the street with fur flying like a blizzard (Jasper was a white/black!) I said "Moonsine"! "Jasper"! sharply and they both stopped the aggressive battle. Their haunches both went up. Then those dipped and the tails went up as if to say "I would have won it you'd let me finish!" They stomped off in opposite directions.

Moonshine (grey tabby) lived to be more than 19 and then stopped eating much. We took him to the vet who said he had one of three things, but to find out which, he'd have to take a blood test, but to try, the blood would be his assistents! Using my father's line, I asked what he would do if Moonshine was his? He said he give anti-biotics in case it was something else, and st(?) to encourage him to eat and he could do this every month if needed. We went with this and the nurse asked if I wanted a temp crete to take him home. (Not needed)
Moonshine lasted two more months pampered with seafood, chickent, etc.... and then peasefully passed away. We knew we'd get another kitty, but weren't ready quite yet.

'A year and a half later we acquired Sir Hal (previous owner) from Shakespeare. He's mostly called "Hal" but I often call him "Hallie Kitty". The two professors and I share him since all three of us travel and have only ever left him for one night and once for two nights. Mostly he goes there earlier in the day and later and late evening to my house. He also has an aunt two houses up from me who used to have three kitties until they died around the time she had oepn heart surgery so she's VERY happy to see him!

Hal has us all wrapped around his paw!!!!! He's mostly an outdoor kitty and a great hunter. Last summer he appeared between me and Rob with a giant chipmonk. He looked from one of us to the other and then spit it out between us, nearly a foot from toe to toe! Look at my trophy! What a great hunter I am!!!


Since I'm so far from home I don't have a photo with me, but Hal is a 100% Yellow tabby and scared of his own shadow! (Opposite of his predesessor!)

Why'd it take the divas so long to start a kitty thread!

I was just home visiting and 9 months later Satin hasn't grown much. She will probably forever be a petite lady. For her tiny size she sure runs the house though. Mom never let any of our previous cats up on the counters or in the cabinets like this one. She's spoiled rotten!

New ski diva member here and I have to say I am delighted that there is a cat pictures thread that has been going on for almost two years strong! Here are my cats - both 16-year-old rescues. Tephra is the tortoiseshell and Aries is the black cat.

I just spent 2 weeks in Maui and got to meet my friend's two cats Toby and Molly. Molly is very shy though after a week I could approach within a couple of feet of her if I moved slowly and quietly. But Toby is a real character and so much fun.
