Serotta Cats - Post a pic of your cat!

His name is Matius. Since he has been an indoor cat, he has gained a bit of weight :)

This is Miss Tilly a few years ago. She passed in July, aged 20 years 3 months.

aka "Boocifer" when she is hungry @ 4AM. She's glad the bike is back on the trainer because the rug under it is a favorite seasonal scratching post.
Peter...Miss Tilly sure was a beauty. Sorry about your loss.

Karin and I are lucky enough to have three wonderful cats that let us live with them. The youngest, Inga, is a sweet little fluffy girl who is not the least bit scared of animals bigger than her.

I took this photo out the back window of the house this past weekend after watching Inga march right out the the deer in the garden to check her out. She can be seen just behind the deer. At this point she was only about 4 feet away and she was holding her ground. She kicks butt.

Here's Amassa. He runs the show. We never knew something so fluffy and cute could be so bada$$.
Note empty bowl behind him, hence the reason for his complaint.

This is Spalding during a time of need (again note empty bowl).

Spalding's claim to fame was that he was in a cat calendar once. His celebrity status has not gotten the best of him, even though he did once date the Olsen twins.

I tried to pan the camera to give the illusion that Otis moves.

AKA Speedo, Speedman, Speedhead, sacrificing his hunting time to test our new outdoor furniture two years ago. Neighbors say he is dumb as a post, but he has survived 8 years with fisher cats, coyotes, and foxes, so how dumb can he be?? He and I are very close, first time I have bonded with a cat.

this cat rules. plain and simple!

These are from a while ago.

Comet is the rosette (spotted) male and now weighs about 21 pounds. His half sister Cricket is the marbled female and she is now a petite 14 pounds.

They are products of the same father and 2 different mothers, born about 2 weeks apart and raised together.

They are both very dog like and play with Dief. The wrestling matches between Comet and the dog who is about 60 pounds and looks like a small blonde shepherd (see the dogs thread somewehere) are hysterical.

They also love to play in water and will join you in the shower at times.

I will have to hunt for a picture of our "old lady", Maggie. She is pushing 16 years old.

[d_douglas]

15 years old, b*tchy and glorious.

I came within a few days of having to euthanize her last year. For some unknown reason, she stopped eating and that subsequently caused liver and kidney damage. She was being fed liquified cat food through her nose and washed down with a syringe full of water. I woke up every hour of the night and left work three times per day to come home to feed her for three long weeks.

For some unknown reason, she simply started eating again, and a year later (I am knocking on wood) you would never know. She seems perfectly healthy, as 15 year old cats go. Sleep all day, missing a couple of teeth, but still cute as h*ll.

I adore this creature.

[dirtclub]

meet kashmir. she is a lot like her "mom."

[NicaDog]

Our cat Losar seems to love any large mammal - she'll walk up to any dog, deer, or lamb in our neighborhood.

[fishbolish]

have 2 pair!,as my wife calls it,binks is a korat,lily & george ,maya is a burmese/tonkinese mix, each is a character of their own, & of course my sleeping daughter

We have 5 cats, all adopted from shelters, including our amazing Maine Coon cat, Zander, pictured walking in the snow. Clem is our orange boy.

My cat ROCKS.

Here are our four cats sleeping on their bed. Sometimes they leave room for my wife and I to sleep too. Otherwise, we are on the floor. From L-R, Liam, Mercury, Mama (mother of the other Siamese), and Nikkie the princess daughter.

[Karin Kirk]

What a happy sight to see all these great kitties and hear about how they work their way into our lives. Thanks for the great thread, Darren (and your orange boy is very handsome) and thanks to all the Serotta kitties too. Keep 'em coming!

[dave thompson]

Mandy, the cat, with her favorite chew-toy, Buddy. To watch these two fight/play is hilarious. Mandy will dash across the room and do a drive-by swat on a peacefully resting Buddy to instigate a mad chase through the house.

Here is a picture of Mercury (AKA Fat Boy) at Xmas. We entered this one in our County fair and won a first prize ribbon.

Tony,

Thanks! It was just dumb luck for me. He has extra toes, which more or less gives him opposable thumbs, and he fetches. He is by far the cleverest cat I've ever met - it's like having a really clean, sweet-tempered pet monkey. My former roommates and I used to play games with him, which he would invent surprisingly complex rules for - he really is an amazingly bright creature.

Hey,

If used as "prescribed", EPO does wonders for ya!!! :eek: :eek:

[Avispa]

Campagnolo (the calico) and Shimano (the black one)! All cats OR cat people, are welcomed in our house!

These are two fabulous Manx cats, IMO, the best breed of cats there is. These guys are like dogs (sorry, Sandy). You can fetch them and all... But you don't have to walk them! :D

[Ginger]

This spring an acquaintance came across a box of four discarded kittens. They were about 10 days old, their eyes were just open and they were tiny. My friend Lisa wanted three kittens, so I took the fourth. Here's Lisa with Poppy the day they came to my house:
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p139/Gingerbike/Poppyspics/IMG_0879Poppy2007.jpg

Poppy spent about three weeks at Lisa's house with her brothers, I'd go and visit
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p139/Gingerbike/Poppyspics/IMG_0919_2Poppy2007.jpg

Poppy is quite enamored of my Kirk. And she prefers to chew on Campagnolo rather than Shimano.
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p139/Gingerbike/Poppyspics/IMG_1245_2Poppy2007.jpg

I'll have to post some more recent pictures...for the most part she's grown into these ears that earned her a comparison to a fruit bat
http://i127.photobucket.com/albums/p139/Gingerbike/Poppyspics/IMG_1258Poppy2007.jpg

Unfortunately, now that fall has come and I've closed the windows to the house, my sensitivity to cats has appeared. We've started back on the bath and cleaning cycles...but does anyone have any tips to reduce the allergens with cats? I've gotten sort of attached to the Pop Cat.

[Karin Kirk]

Avispa,

Looks like you busted Shimano kitty ogling at your desktop photo.

Ginger, my first recommendation for the bath routine is to wear oven mitts!
Hopefully you can find a good solution. Those photos are adorable, esp the one with her peeking through the spokes.

Karin, We've been doing the bath thing since she was very small because I was very aware of my allergies...but we took a break because of her spay and declaw. She's all healed up now...so it's time to get back to the weekly routine.

(Yes. I know the declaw is cruel and inhuman. I cried for three days when I had it done because I felt so awful about causing her that pain...but...we've had a very harmonious house ever since.)

[Elefantino]

You woke me up to take a picture for the WHAT forum?

You are soooooooooooo toast.

As previously posted in another thread this spring, that's Abby on my water tank, and in what I believe is a new to forum pic, that's Nyx on one of her pillows. (It's tought to get a good picture of her, because she's completely black, and the camera just can't pick up much.)

Nyx looks like an Owl :)

The ruler of the household. What a life cats have, playing and sleeping all day while their slaves work to provide a roof over their heads and food.

But he's a good snuggler and quite sociable, so he gets away with it.

(guess I need to work on my picture size...)

DD,

Glad to hear that Rosa is doing better. You're a great person to have nursed her back to health.

One of the ways I judge someone is by how they treat animals, and we obviously have lots of fine people on the forum...

Louis

[deechee]

aki means fall/autumn in Japanese.
he's a lot bigger now but he's still the desperately wants to be alpha-male but has no cat heirarchy understanding or social skills. Good life. Eats, plays, and sleeps.

Now that is one of the coolest cats I have ever seen. Very neat looking.

Here are our girls:


First picture is of the kittens the first night we got them. Both Abysinnians.

Second picture is of the matriarch kitty of the house, CoCo Channel, an Occicat. She is nearly 17 years old and hated the kittens when they first came into our family, but adores them now.

The third picture is of the kittens just today. Very, very high energy, loving girls. They keep us laughing.

[stevep]

a friend of mine used to have a pet bobcat.
i wish i had a photo.
the thing was huge ( it died a few years ago ).

this guy is tall...6'1".
the cat used to stand with its paws on his shoulders...head was as big as a soccer ball.
i was terrified of the thing...

you could hear it running around in his house at night ( nocturnal of course )
i stayed there once and put a chair up against the door.
amazing animal though... cannot imagine the size of a tiger or something.

That's a great story is it true?
Where did your friend live?
What did he feed it?

interspecies love going here. Cat sleeps with/on/around dog; dog looks for the cat so he has a pillow.

true as can be.
he lived in maine ( its illegal in most states, was legal at the time in maine...not sure if it still is )..he had lived in nh when he adopted it as an infant but could not have one there so he moved to maine
ill see if i can find a photo, we used to have one in our catalog.
fed it meat scraps from a butcher as i recall and cat food.
