I just discovered that our Siamese, Hecubus, our littlest resident, goes absolutely berserk for my Burt's Bees lip balm. I'm trying to do some work (and taking Specktra breaks, obviously) and he keeps jumping up and devouring my lips! I can't imagine what it is, but he's absolutely crazy for it!
lol! that is so funny! weird but funny!
What a riot! He must like honey or something sweet in them! Nothing like being drowned in cat kissies! lol
Here is a picture of me holding Spooky, my first cat, about 18 years ago (dig the old tv set!).
Oh debi this is such a wonderful photo! i am so pleased that you managed to upload it!! you look so cute and Spooky looks very happy! what an awesome name too!What a riot! He must like honey or something sweet in them! Nothing like being drowned in cat kissies! lol

Thank you! She was a gift to me from the group we camped with. My parents did not want a cat in the house at all, but they convinced them that I needed companionship, so she was mine at 8 weeks old. We had just come back from a wedding and to the campground when everyone told me to shut my eyes. All of a sudden I could hear whispers and feel these sharp claws digging through my nice dress! When I opened them, there she was! I named her Spooky Spirit that evening, which came to Spooky, Spookah, then Bubby! lol I love this picture of her. She was a wonderful cat and lived for 17 3/4 years! She took a while to warm up to my husband though. She didn't want to share me! She kept attacking him and hissing at him. I told him to feed her her dinner and they were best of friends in a few days! I miss her so much. She was my best friend and companion for such a long time. She loved this house. Wall to wall carpeting at the time and she flew around the house like a kitten even though she was 9 years old! Never even bothered the Christmas tree or anything. Sigh....

Elven, that is an absolutely lovely photo. The whole story reminds me of some of my experiences with my own felines. I like the part of your story where she just sunk her claws into you. My first cat, at least the first that I had as an adult, chose me for certain. She hooked her claws into me and simply would not let go. In the end, I was faced with the choice of taking her home of destroying the shirt I was wearing.
hee hee! that is like when i chose Dylan! I was looking at the whole littrer but picked Dylan because he was the only one who hooked onto my jeans and climbed up my leg and onto my lap! Such a funny little boy! I will have to find some kitten pictures of him when i get home because he looks so different!

Lol... I'm reading these wonderful cat stories while having a beer at home... A beer which I have to defend from Simon, our Tonkinese, because he is a total booze hound. He goes nuts for all types of beer and red wine. If I poured him a bowl, he'd drain it in no time. He'll literally get up in our faces trying to grab sips! I've never seen anything like that.
Hearing about your longtime companions who have passed on reminds me of the little guy I call the love of my life before I met Dom. He was Morgan, my little man, all black with a little white "priest's collar", a set of white toes on one foot and a white patch on his tummy marking the spot he loved to have scratched. He was an incredible character and he lived 18.5 years. I remember when I posted on my facebook account that he'd died, I was shocked at the number of people from my past who replied with their Morgan stories. Even almost three years later, I still rarely pass a day without missing him.

Aww thanks Lou.Snook is an adorable name,he had that name coming from the shelter.Sometimes cats at the shelter have odd names,but this one was perfect!Snook fits him so well.He's so sweet,and when I got him he was in a room instead of a cage because the staff told me that he got out of his cage twice!I thought that was so funny,what an escape artist lol When Snook saw me in his room,he stood up and put his paws up on the glass,and then when I had my purse in front of the door,he rubbed up against it,sat next to it and looked at the door!It was totally meant to be.

Kate your picture of you and Morgan the priest kitty is so cute! he has a lovely little face! 
and that is funny that you have a boozey kitty! keep your alcohol cabinet door locked! hee hee! My kitties like to eat weird things - Dylan loves pancakes and dry pasta for some reason and Annie goes crazy for cheese!
I love kitties so much!
I was outside our house yesterday playing with our neighbours cat Delux - she used to be a bit scared of me but will now happily be held and cuddled it makes me happy!

it makes me happy!Fabulous photo, Katred and Morgan! Isn't it just wonderful how these beautiful pets touch our lives forever and in spite of the heartache of when we lose them, we will never forget their unconditional love? Animals are just plain perfect. That is why I like to go to the local nursery which has a neighbour's cat that hangs around and occasionally their own dog who loves tummy rubs! It is a family affair and so much fun!
exactly! it is worth everything because i have so much fun with my kitties - they make me so happy!

Totally agreed. I spent three hours pinned to the sofa tonight watching movies with Dom, because I didn't want to disturb the two who were sleeping on me. I also have to keep taking breaks on the computer because Seth and Hecubus are taking turns jumping in my lap! Every time I hear one of them purr, I just immediately feel better.
yes i know exactly what you mean! the things we do for our fur babies! Dylan makes me laugh - he is so naughty but funny with it. For example his favorite game is jumping into the cupboard in the office, sitting right at the back so you can't reach him. Then when he knows you are not looking he starts to knock papers and things off the shelves but if you turn to look at him he will start to lick himself or tilt his head to the side - acting all nonchalant! little shit!!!

That's exactly like Hecubus! He seems to feel the need to make up for his tiny stature by raising as much hell as he can. We have to have this whole system for disposing of garbage to ensure that he can't possibly ever get into anything. And if I cook something that needs to cool, I have to booby trap it to make sure that, if and when he decides to go for it, there's a loud noise to startle him (he doesn't care) and alert us.
lol! yeah we have a way of getting rid of rubbish too because otherwise he goes through the bags and drags it out al over the floor. sometimes he would grab things and take them under our bed!! then me and nick would smell something bad in the bedroom to find there are leftovers underneeth us! he is so quick at grabbing things sometimes!!
