Do you have a favorite photo of the cat, dog or other companion who owns you? Show 'em, people!

[Heidi]

This is my favorite photo of The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger, interrupted during his work helping CMW and our wonderful landscape guy create our little meditation garden. Nobody can push sand around with the nose like The Wiley and Excellent Boy Cat Named Ginger!

Let's see your favorite photos of the cats, dogs, lizards, birds, fish, snakes, etc. who own you!


"Do I have to do _everything_ for you guys? And why didn't anyone offer ME a beer?"

[Justitia]

1. What a beauty! I love the sand on his nose, LOL. -eom

[Heidi]

2. And _I_ love your sigline quote from Rayburn.

[Justitia]

20. Aww, thanks! There have been a few really good Dems from TX, LOL- Mr. Sam was one of the best.

And the most effective Speaker of the House, ever.

[Heidi]

27. I'm a diehard liberal Dem

from Oklahoma, honey. And Ms. Richards and Speaker Rayburn are among my heroes.

[Justitia]

52. OMG, you're like a cousin, then! LOL! TX has a black eye due to Bush, but we have some good ones.

Thanks so much for noticing.

I miss Ann Richards like hell, too. Can you imagine all the great things she'd have to say about the last election?
She would have had us all in stitches, telling it like it is, and loving it all.

Molly Ivins too.....sniff, sniff.

I meant to tell you that the background of your pic really brings out your boy's beautiful eyes!!

[samplegirl]

3. Silas

[Heidi]

11. What a beautiful, fluffy boy Silas is!

Does he love the snow? Ginger has a love/hate relationship with snow.

[samplegirl]

14. He cant seem to make up his mind.

[Heidi]

17. Ha! Ginger's the same.

He _hates_ the feel of snow under his feet, but he LOVES if I make a snowball and toss it for him to catch in his paws.

[polmaven]

36. Did Silas

clean up all that snow by himself? Is that why he is looking a little - um - grumpy?

[samplegirl]

41. I think he's getting a little tired of snow...

he would much rather be basking in the sunshine.

[BattyDem]

47. I love the look on his face!

What a beauty!

[BrklynLiberal]

91. Is that a Maine Coon or a Norwegian Forest Cat? Gorgeous creature!

[NYC_SKP]

4. pwned by my avatar, Ginny.

.
<---Ginny. Will not let me change my name OR my avatar!







:patriot

[Heidi]

13. What a little angel!

Ginny looks like a big lover! You're lucky to be chosen by her.

[BattyDem]

48. Awwww ... how cute!

[Mari333]

5. its a menagerie here.

oliver

[NYC_SKP]

6. What a cute family...and a hint about posting pics...

Edit your post, then delete the "v=0" part of the file names.

"jpg" should be the last letters.

[Heidi]

15. How do Grayson, Henry and Albert get along with Oliver?

And new kitty? What beautiful family you have!

[Mari333]

64. heh. Oliver kicks everyone's ass if they mess with him

the parrot is in charge. the cats learned the hard way.
hugs

[BattyDem]

50. Nice family!

I hope they all get along.

[Fire Walk With Me]

69. Henry has a milk moustache!

[rox63]

7. My two fur-babies

Not necessarily good pics, but the only ones I could find at the moment.

Miss Mary:



And her little sister Princess:

[bdamomma]

10. what pretty cats they are!!!

meowwwwwww!!!

[Heidi]

19. I _love_ stripey cats!

You can't see it in my OP, but Ginger has stripes in his tail. (He's _not_ a real Siamese, despite the distinct markings. His father was a wild, black and white tuxedo cat, and his mother is my mother-in-law's very fluffy Alp-rescue cat with British shorthair appearance). Everyone who meets Ginger comments on his odd stripe-iness! Your kitties are _GORGEOUS_!

[Lugnut]

85. Awww!

I'm a sucker for tabbies.

[bigtree]

8. salad days for pepper

[Muttocracy]

126. I like that it's a "candid" shot - border collie or part BC? nt

[maddezmom]

9. Here is my Cusco

and the side view because she thinks her butt looks fat in the first one.

[Heidi]

28. EVERYONE has a fat butt from that angle!

Thank you for showing us your sweet Cusco, long-lost-girlfriend! What a beauty!

P.S. I miss you, in case you didn't pick up that nuance!

[BattyDem]

51. My butt looks fat from that angle, too.

What a pretty lady!

[BattyDem]

12. Ozzy the Schnoodle: Ready for the Luau!

Taken just before we went to my cousin's birthday party/luau in August.
Ozzy was 3-1/2 months old at the time. He'll be 9 months old on February 5th.

[Heidi]

29. OH NO! What a FACE!

:swoon:

[BattyDem]

62. That face keeps him out of trouble

Whenever he does something wrong, I say, "Ozzy! What did you do?!" Then he looks at me, tilts his head just like that and I'm totally screwed, LOL! I end up apologizing to him. "I'm sorry, baby. Mommy didn't mean to yell at you. It's ok."

[JeffR]

82. He's adorable!

[MissMillie]

120. I love his FACE!!!!!

want to kiss him!!!!

[Rob H.]

16. Summer

I never get tired of posting pics of my baby.

[Heidi]

31. That's a really SMART boy!

It's in his eyes! And he could pass for Ginger's brother! Your Summer has some Siamese somewhere along the line, dontcha think?

Summer!

[Rob H.]

42. Actually, Summer's a really smart girl :P

I decided to call her Summer because (as corny as it might sound) she spreads light and warmth wherever she goes.

She's definitely part Siamese, but the weird thing is she's getting more and more tabby striped all the time. She's still really chatty like a lot of Siamese, though, which I just love.

Here she is when I brought her home:



And here she is a few months later:

[stuntcat]

107. she's so pretty!

Summer's beautiful!

[katandmoon]

18. Gorgeous kitty!!!

[Heidi]

32. I won't tell Ginger you said that.

He already considers himself the sum total of the family "brain trust." (And he's probably right. )

[JeffR]

21. Zen wants in on this, so here he is:

[Heidi]

33. Dear Zen,

could I please rub your belly and scritch behind your ears? Were you not so gorgeous and sweet-eyed, I'd be too shy to ask. But, please? :scritch: :rub:

[JeffR]

77. He told me to tell you he loves the idea!

[BattyDem]

53. I LOVE those close-up pix!

I can never get a good one of Ozzy.

Great shot!

[JeffR]

76. Thank you.

It's so hard to get them to hold still, isn't it?

[BrklynLiberal]

92. That is an incredible photo of Zen. Wish I could get one l ike that of my boy.

[Trailrider1951]

[TZ]

23. my two sister kitties Smokie and Sophie

looking like Siamese kitties..

[stuntcat]

108. Gray Babies

[zbdent]

24. We have a teenager and a preschooler ...

in other words, a mixed-breed cat (who actually will be 18 years old this year) and a Corgi dog (will be 11 years old ... took possession of her on 4/15 - a GOOD thing associated with that day).

Pictures are not available at the moment.

[nickinSTL]

25. I'm not currently owned...unfortunately

my wife's allergic to cats...so, until we deal with that issue, we won't have any...and we'd have to pay "pet rent" in our current apartment.

Great to see pics of others' owners, though

[Betsy Ross]

26. Mendy helping me sew.

[Ratty]

30. I have a really photogenic cat

[Rob H.]

56. Wow, gorgeous!

Beautiful golden eyes and some magnificent whiskers, too.

34. Big and Little, all (embarassingly) dressed up at Christmas ... and Tiny watching her favorite teeve

And the new family member who lives in our foyer ..... Mr. Starchypantz

[Mugu]

35. I don't have any pets anymore.

So I just feed whoever comes around. Even when they get a free meal they don't always appreciate me taking photos.

"How about you get that damned camera out of my face."


My sister's doggie "Sparky" came to visit on Christmas.

[fizzgig]

37. that is one chubby little squirrel

i love it!

[Mugu]

43. I feed them four ears of corn a day.

But, I make them work for it.

[Justitia]

63. OMG - that's hilarious! Love it! -eom

[Mugu]

78. There's not much they won't do for some corn.

[66 dmhlt]

101. Thanks for posting those amazing pictures

I hope you don't mind if I share them w/ some folks.

[stuntcat]

109. cutie!

what a funny picture!

[parasim]

38. Here's my little kitty cat, Jaz.

and here's a portrait I did of her awhile back...




Ginger's gorgeous!

[bridgit]

39. La Dolce Vida

Of course Tim doesn't take *any* bad pics, but I like this one. It was about a year after we rescued him; but his first Thanksgiving in our new place over 3 years ago (my how time flys), and of course I made him a little plate which he savored and nibbled by the morsel. But then he licked his lips, cleaned his whiskers, licked his paws, and pads, his toes and nails, head butted me rubbing his nose against mine and walked off...after a while I found he had tucked himself into bed and was lazing...and this is what we see. Maybe it's because he was a rescue kitty, but he seems to have had the Thanksgiving Thing already figured out

[Poiuyt]

40. Carl

Almost 18 years old now

[BattyDem]

55. 18??

Wow! That's great! Good for him!
He's a very handsome guy.

[Inchworm]

75. Hi You!

Thought I misclicked

[keepCAblue]

79. Gavin Mewsom

Gavin and Summer look so much alike - even the notched ear! (Gavin's wasn't so much as notched as it had the entire tip chopped off -- Damn vet!)

[Rob H.]

87. He has beautiful stripes on his face

and that's a beautiful photo, period.

I think Summer may have wound up with the notch in her ear due to an encounter with a dog, but I'm not sure. She runs to the window and sits growling on the sill when she hears a dog barking outiside, though--even my neighbor's pit bull!

How did the vet wind up chopping the tip of Gavin's ear?

90. Is that 'serious' cat?

Boy what a beauty but he's slicing and dicing you six ways from Sunday isn't he?

I have a current favorite but it's bound to change in a week or two. (This pup is easily the most photographed dog in history...)

100. One Of The Coolest Cat's On The Planet: Skittles.

Pic is great in person, but capturing on my cellphone (all I could do at the moment to put it on here) kinda dampens it a bit.

[TZ]

105. Nice.

Looks like skittles is a bit of a talker..Takes after the owner a bit does skittles?

[stuntcat]

115. I like it

good close-up, it's kinda arty

[Bluerthanblue]

116. so fun to see all the extended families-

this is our Buzz-



and our Godot-



(he really lets it all hang out when he sleeps )

[Cabcere]

118. Most of these are from my cell phone, so the image quality kind of sucks...

..but here they are, anyway.

This is the wonderful and adoring Katie, our 11-year-old beagle/dachshund mix. We adopted her from the local SPCA when she was about six months old, and she hasn't grown much since then. She has, however, survived a bout of parvovirus, a phase of separation anxiety that resulted in chewed furniture, and numerous cat-related antics. Her hobbies include being adorable, chasing the cats around the house, and barking ferociously at anyone who dares to accompany another dog through our neighborhood (the nerve!).




This is the regal and handsome Phoenix, adopted from neighbors who couldn't keep all the kittens in their cat's litter. He is approximately seven years old, and the third male orange tabby with whom we have had the honor of sharing our home. Although he is occasionally the victim of unwanted, erm, "attention" from Katie, he maintains a relatively friendly and laid-back demeanor. His hobbies include grooming Isabel (see below), making that weird clicking sound at birds (which he is presumably fantasizing about killing), lounging around in various regal and handsome poses, contentedly slobbering on his human servants, and purring loudly enough to register on the Richter scale.




This is the lovely and rather high-strung Isabel, rescued as a kitten from a tree near my dad's office during the hurricane that is her namesake. Possessed of extremely soft fur and dainty ways, she is considered by many to be a weapon of mass cuteness. Her most notable (and hilarious) achievement to date is managing to singe her fur while curled up under a halogen lamp - an adventure which resulted in much consternation for her human servants, but which she herself did not even notice. Her hobbies include being extremely cute, eating, being petted (but NOT picked up!), and bravely defending the home front against all yarn-related threats.

[MissMillie]

119. Nothing like a good stretch

[foxfeet]

121. Our pack. l-r, Toby, Stellaluna, and Hazel Hellraiser.

All are rescues. Each is fabulous, except that Hazel has delusions of alphahood.

They don't hang around each other much any more, so I don't have any recent "cute" pics of them.

I created this collage from our pictures for a project...our favorite kittenses pics!

They mostly ignore me -- they like hubby better.
