our tabby/pixie-bob mix can't decide if she wants to play or fight (pics)

[MrsBrady]

with our rescue male tabby.

We've had him for two or three months now...we've decided to keep him as we could not find him a home.
He's such a sweet boy. The girls are such divas, at least in our house.

I don't let their fighting get out of hand. I separate them if it does, but they are playing more and more now.
I introduced him a little bit at a time. She's the instigator, really.

He'll be playing with her...and then all of a sudden she gets pissed off.
He's like wtf? You wanna play or bitch? pick one. Then he will come to me with a look, as if to say, "what is her freaking problem?"

I think she has fun until he is "winning", and then she decides it's not fun anymore :rofl:

this is her, she only looks mild mannered :)


here he is, lounging in the sun, enjoying being fed and warm in a new home :)


here she is (on the right), annoying the other two females. she excels at pestering our very tolerant and sweet siamese, who puts up with more pestering than I do.
you can see the dirty look she was getting. I couldn't believe I even got this shot. lol

1. You have a lovely kindle of cats.

:loveya:

Fighting troubles are a pain. So sorry. We have many cats and fights are inevitable. But I'm afraid I have no advice. :(

:hi:

3. aw....they are fine

she's just a trouble maker. she's fun, when she's not being a little sh**.

Some times we joke that she must think her name is...."what are you doing, you little sh**" lol :)

They are very cute, a lot of work, but so much fun.

The border collie gets jealous, but is very tolerant.

10. Is your dog part Australian Shepherd?

[MrsBrady]

12. full Border Collie

and he's one of the big ones.

He's 50lbs.

I found out there is not a designation in the breed for the larger Border Collies...don't know why.
Anyway, he's a big 50 pound lap dog. ;)

2. aww what pretty cats

They look like fights aside, they are a pretty happy bunch!

[MrsBrady]

6. they grey one is the trouble maker

they don't really fight too bad...she just likes to stir things up.

sometimes she gets a "time out" in the bathroom for 10 minutes to cool off, if she's causing too much trouble.
she usually gets the point that she's gonna be by herself if she doesn't cool it. She's very dog-like. :)

9. I love your soulful Border Collie's eyes, and the tabby looks just like my old cat

The cat approached me near the ticket booth of the Wood's Hole-Nantucket ferry. He was ~3 months old, an adorable tawny tabby, and the ticket lady said he had been hanging around for 2-3 days, hiding in the bushes when the sound of trucks and cars loading onto the ferry scared him. She gave him only water, hoping he'd find his way home.
I left my phone number with her, tucked him into the front of my sweater, and took him with me to Nantucket. I called the pound/humane society phone number for that area of Cape Cod but thankfully no one called, and I got to keep him! Mr. Ticket was the best cat.

When we were at the ferry terminal the departure was delayed from 8:00 pm to midnight because they had to weld something on the ferry's door. Some cute older ladies were waiting with their easels and satchels, heading out to Nantucket for a plein air painting class. When one noticed that the kitten had spots on his chest/belly she said, "Oh, I think it's a girl-it has nipples!" :rofl:
