She looks mahhhhvelousss!!
And I see that she is pampered. Those kitty structures take up people room.
We have one here but it has been shredded beyond recognition by our two. They like it like that and who am I to argue! They both came to us at the same time from the shelter and are true partners in crime. Always plotting against each other or the humans.

Cats are only ever 1 fence away from being feral.
Meritocracy: the privilege, wealth and advancement of those who chose their parents wisely.
Capitalism: a cult that promised to do good for the worst reasons.
Nationalism: a profound longing to go back to a past that never existed.

The outdoor ones, perhaps; the indoor ones, not so much. In NYC, Izzy's definitely an indoor girl...not too sure about Foggy's kids, but my guess is that they are, as well, given their healthy, happy appearance.

That is a beautiful bundle of love.
My cats keep me amused, even when they sleep.

I brought my two from Hawaii. The only wildlife they had to deal with was gecko's, birds, the mongoose, mice and the occasional neighbors dog getting loose. Even then my fence was always closed and they had a pet door if something actually got in my yard, so they were safe. Buddy used to get out and go in the neighbors yard and play with their pet rabbit though (he is a tough one).
In Missouri, I have to keep them inside. They have no clue on fox's, coyote's, snakes, hawks etc....
In memory of TB/Phfluff, since he isn’t here to continue to give his praise, I will share it for him.

He doesn't care for it. In the snow you see his paw tracks, then a line in the middle. It's hilarious, his legs are so short his Anthony Weiner drags a line.

I live in an area that's all apartment buildings, tons of 'em. Yet, people put their cats out at night, at least some of them do. And yes, the tragedies just keep right on happening. I don't get it.

That shit I will never understand.

Well, gonna be a sap for a moment: According to the missus, it is exactly one year and one day from the day Izzy came into our home (which is true, since she was delivered to us by the rescue people, some of the coolest folks I've met in a long time).

Not a bad moment with this innocent little creature. Not a bad moment.

So lucky (and grateful) twice in a row, as far as pets go. The best news is that there's a new building board in my co-op and we may soon have a dog to walk again. Never thought I'd see it happen.

Thanks, Izzy, for a great year, kid. Oh, and conjurer - yes, this is one serious looking cat, but she's also the sweetest critter I think I've ever had. By my side constantly.

She's got to be one of the most photogenic kitty's I've ever seen, TB, and it's awesome that she's such a loving critter. I'll keep the old fingers crossed vis-à-vis the doggy issue. In the meantime, please allow me to be a bit sappy, and ask that you give Izzy a kiss on da nose from her deceased uncle out in Cali. (And, as an OBTW, we're looking at increasing our little family by one 'ragdoll' kitty, which is something I've wanted for a long time now...)

Congrats on that 366-day milestone, TB...and may you have many, many more, mon ami! ;)

Today marks four years with Mr. Izzy. I've always felt she doesn't photograph as sweet as he actually is. Conj is right - she kinda looks like she's scheming to murder something. While I do believe she's really beautiful, I agree - she does come off as brooding. But she is absolutely the sweetest, most loving animal I have ever known, and that even includes the array of dogs that I miss so much. None of them were as soulful and just plain smooth as this little critter.

Izzy seems to be fine but, as I mentioned before, she's got a bad liver. She's never acted sick, but her innards are a bit screwed up. We are battling it with diet and medication.

Four years with Izzy. She's been the best part of every day for me for all of these turns of the calendar. She's the first pet in my life I feel overwhelmingly grateful for - she was just what I needed at a time I really needed it. If she's not admitted into heaven, I don't want to go there.

^^^Glad Izzy still has you as her friend/servant biped. She is beautiful.

If there is any example of Divine love, it is the incredible capacity of devotion that our pets have for us.

May you have many more years with her.

 Izzy is one goddamned fine looking cat, goddamn it.
The only thing bugging me is that I actually sent a photo of my cat to the mouse. Lord knows he probably hasn't seen any other pussy in decades.

Well, Izzy is sick. My girl. Enlarged heart, fluid in the lungs, trouble with her liver, she's getting old. This is what happens when you adopt "senior" pets - they start to break down long before you'd ever want them to.

This is the sweetest animal and a good friend, and we don't know what's going to happen next. We are just gonna love the living shit out of her, today and every day for the rest of her life. She's on an array of medicines, and the amazing thing is, throughout all this, she still acts like Izzy. She never changes. She's one of the best pets and best friends I've ever had, and this is a dog person stating this.
