Answer Cat

I have had a number of questions again in my comments, so Iwill use this spot to respond to your questions.

Clawless but not clueless (hehehehe).

First about being clawless. I don't remember much about having them out, I was just a kitten at the time. Some people would rather have our claws removed than deal with teaching us proper use of scratching posts and all. More often than having all four paws done, most people just do the front. My first owner did this and mum knew that I had to be an inside kittie because of this. I do ok without them. But I do use my teeth to defend myself versus just sratching someone.
Opus & Roscoe's mum Cyn asked about playing in the tub and finding water in the tub. Mum normally uses the hot rain attachment, not sitting inside the water. So while she is in there the doors are closed. When she is done the doors open, she comes out and sometimes I jump in. Now the only thing that is really wet is the bottom, so my feets gets wet. Mum warns me if it is a little deep, but then I just wait until the water finished going away.
Both Virginger and I like heights. She climbs up in the trees and stuff, I jump on top of the big cold box. So no issues. The other night when Grampie was here I made myself comfy on top of the big cold box while they ate dinner.
My rainbow ribbon thingy. Mum hung it outside and it blows in the wind.
You can see me inside the big windows. I seem to be paying more attention to something other than the ribbons. But I can see it just outside, it is next to the wind chimes. Mum has a windsock out front too. But this ribbon thingy hangs under the patio roof, mum doesn't think it is really made to be out in the weather and get wet. That is why it is under the patio roof. But it sure is pretty. Below you can see me sitting at the big windows, watching the outside.
Sexywhiskerlumps or whisker humps or facical bosom or pouches. What ever you want to call them. It isn't actually a bump or a lump, just some of us kitties have a slightly different color of fur where our whiskers come out of our faces. So it makes us more manly looking and attractive to the lady cats.
About Virginger and the two little kitties. Do you think they might be her kittens? She is outside a lot, could she have met up with a mancat? I don't think mum took her in for her operation! What do you think?

  6. I love when you have posts like this! I learn a lot. I have no front claws. I do well and play in my yard all the time. I'm a big cat and have sharp teeth. If I get in a fight, I use this to my advantage. I'm not a wanderer so that helps. I like to stay close to the patio.

    I think you're a cool cat! I'm glad you're my friend!
    Love, Oscar the Puppy Cat!

  15. Derby, who thought you were clueless?! Just because some human decided you needed to be clawless!

    Love that windsock. That would be a great thing to watch. I'm going to have to lobby to get me one of those!
