My friends tell me he's an ugly cat... but I don't care, he's the tamest, friendliest, purriest, furriest, hugable-cuddable kitten to walk the earth...

You're friends are not wrong!

But he'll fill out and grow into his frame and won't always be the ugly duckling. And I predict he'll be the best cat you've ever had. The stray I have now, 14 years after he adopted us, is by far the best cat I've met. He's the one on the left, BTW.

 

Just adorable, good luck with her.

You are not giving her milk, are you? Cats are all lactose intolerant. You can get kitten milk replacement which they do very well on.

Nope, when my neighbor brought her over he brought some kitten formula along. I let her drink that for a bit but when she proved she could eat wet food without a problem I got rid of it--Not sure where it came from (it was an unmarked bottle) so I was very nervous. Got rid of it as soon as I could.

Yet another difference between dogs and cats: dogs like to fart.

Oh she's let a few loose lately that drove me off the couch where she was sitting....

 

I like cats, and I like dogs. If they live with me, they like each other.

It is funny seeing the tit for tat though. My dog occasionally sneaks and eats the cats food. It then becomes a moral imperative for my cat to eat some of hers. So here we have a my 60 pound dog (actually a lot more) looking down on my cats head contemplating her options. So far Tiger has kept his head, partly (I suspect) because he can't eat much, whereas his food is a light snack for Missy.

That's not my point. Yes, cats fart. But dogs think it's funny.

An unmarked bottle is always suspicious, but you could have asked.

Kitty milk replacement either comes in a can premixed or as a powder you mix with water as needed. I suspect the latter is what you had, though you should know your neighbor better than I ever would.

As long as the little fellow is doing OK now then all is well.

A good corollary, show a op amp as a Schmitt Trigger, with the caption "Politicians only like positive feedback." With them everything is true / false .

 

I need to give that shirt to the guy I work with.

Edit: Thanks for the quick reply.

 

Ahhhh... if only Botticelli had had a muse like this one!

I don't get it, what is it with cats and coffee???

​

Their sense of smell/taste is supposed to be fine-tuned for blood, not coffee!

 

How much cream are you using? My neighbor puts a little coffee in her cream and my cat Porky (the one on the left in my avatar) will beg her for a share of it. You're lucky it's the cat's face in your cup. They often use their paws.

That's the thing. I drink my coffee black, no cream, no sugar... I do like high quality, freshly ground coffee though.
Don't let ever be said that my cats have a cheap taste for coffee...

 

Is he really drinking the coffee? A cat named Týri we had before Fýr used to take a whiff of anything you were drinking, eating and even ashtrays too. He stopped doing so just before he was 1 years old.

Yes he is... I have two cats, and both of them like to dip their faces in my mugs whenever they have the chance... maybe the bitter taste attracts them.

What's the difference? I can't survive without either pumping through my veins.

 

If you are drinking it it must be good. Kids and pets frequently follow this philosophy.

Yeah...especially when they become teenagers.

 

An odd fact I learned...cats do not have a preference for, "sweet". Us primates find ripe fruit with that sense. I think dogs have that sense. From what I read recently, cats don't.

It's more like they don't have the necessary "taste buds" for sugars.
Here's an interesting fact, dogs can get diabetes. Not so sure about cats, though.
