Friday cat post: Teddy the Terror!

[SuiteDisney]

Doesn't he look like a little angel?

Terriors are notoriously bad with cats. I guess someone forgot to tell Teddy. He attacks Mickey and chases him around the house and the poor dog puts up with it. They're always playing together.

But they're friends even after playtime.

Toby isn't quite as enamored with Teddy.

But is starting to tolerate him.

My only problem with Teddy is that he climbs my legs while I'm sitting at the computer! Ouch, ouch, ouch. Then he climbs to the back of my chair and jumps over to the table where the cat food is. I finally solved the problem by wearing Rachel's soccer shin guards, but until I figured out what to do.........

Great photos, kittens are so sweet looking. I'm much more of a dog person so I loved seeing Mickey

 

[catsrule]

EXCELLENT!

[Rajah]

Awwww!!

How old is Mickey? Somehow I missed his joining your family.

He's a real doll, though!! I love the pictures of him playing with Teddy!

I really need to resize some of our more recent pictures of Blaze, Skye, and Sienna.

I could just DIE!! Are these cute or what???

With the exception of your dog being my cat Max this is MY LIFE since I took in my little kitty hoodlum! Poor Max just gets picked on regularly... ... and my princess Xena who looks alot like your Toby is a little less enamored with is "cuteness"...

They are an America's Funniest Video in the making!!

Looking forward to Rajah's new pics!

Well, I don't have any pics yet (at least not until I get home anyway), but I do have a story to share...

Since we moved into the house, Skye likes to jump up on the counter as we're getting ready for work and drink from the running sink. We let him do it as a treat (he does still drink from the bowls, too), but he was the only one who liked doing that.

Well, a few weeks after we got Sienna and she really started settling in, she started jumping on the counter and watching Skye get his drink from the sink.

The past couple of days, she decided to try it.

Well, let's see...

...first you stand in the sink, right?

Now, do you put your head right under the water and let it roll down your nose and into your mouth?

No, that makes you sneeze.

How about sit back and STRIKE at the water, biting it?

Doesn't get you much water, though.

Hold your nose under the water and turn your head?

No, again makes you sneeze.

Put your paw in the water and then lick the water off the paw?

Doesn't get you enough.

Try the head thing again?

Nope.

Hmm, put the paw under the water and direct the water to the back of the sink, the lap it up as it flows down the back of the sink?

Works until you put your paw down, then it gets all over your ear again.

Can you snag the water with a paw and bring it to you?

Nope...

On and on and on, she just sits there for a good 30 minutes just playing in the water and getting very little to drink.

Silly kitty. She doesn't seem to realize that she's getting *wet*. The same thing she gets when I give her a bath and she doesn't like that! LOL!

Very cute!!! And I know those scratch marks all too well!

Oh my goodness these pictures are so neat! All of your fur babies are so gorgeous and so funny too! I'm not too sure about your legs though.........OUCH!!!!

 

[DixieDreamer]

What a cute terror! He is precious.

Glad you found a way to stop the damage to your legs though... OUCH!!!


Update on my "sick kitty". He is still with us and is MUCH healthier now. He still is not completely well - but he definitely not nearly as congested and his weight is "normal" now. He is a good boy. Uses the potty box religiously and trys so hard to remain within petting range - but not be in the way. He is a real "gentleman". Unfortunately, we have yet to name the poor fellow. We continue to just call him "sick kitty".

Cute pictures, Laura.

All your pets are so cute, even the little rug rat that clawed your legs to shred.

 

[WDW Poly Princess]

LOL, Rajah, your post cracked me up because Tallulah does the exact same thing!

 

[Poohshoney]

Tooooo cute! Don't envy you the scars though!

Rajah that's wonderful - I hope you video it!

 

[Pooh93]

Love it! Those are hysterical! They will be greats bud's for years to come! Can you trim the kitty's nails back a bit? I always found that helped so they couldn't get hooked? Might help those legs out a bit in case of a surprise attack!
