Squid is beautiful.....is there a special story behind the name?

Squid looks as friendly and annoyed at the same time as Filou when he's picked up -very tolerant against crazy humans;)

I dont ever think that I have heard of a Cat called Sqiud! There must be a story behind the name?Great Lokking Girl and Cat!

Lovely picture - even though Squid does look a bit annoyed. ;) How old is he?

Squid was ten years old in that picture. When he was a kitten it was impossible to pick him up if he didn't want to be. He literally would squirt out of your hands like a squid might so he ended up with that name.

This is one of my favorite Squid photos. He was three years old when Bev was teasing him with the ICT (irresistible cat toy) while he sat on the back of the couch. His paws, ears and eyes are all focused on where the toy was.

Then Filou should be called Squid as well. He's seven now, so I have some hope;)

I just love that picture of jumping Squid! You're a great photographer!

Here's some pictures I shot today of Magnus and Costello...

Both say: "And who are you?!"

Magnus & Tess "It's you and me, girl!"

Abys are shoulder sitters... Our little Mango jumps from person to person to avoid touching the floor. Mango is also the mad groomer:

The "Flying Squid" was taken with a automatic 35mm camera (Minolta 700s) but in manual focus mode. It couldn't find him in autofocus mode! I let the camera manage the flash and the shutter speed. Squid looks so sleek n that photo.

Abys love to see their humans as sculptures they can walk upon:D :D

In all fairness, I have to post a couple of pictures of Mango's furry roommates Bubbles (grey & white Tabby) and Peaches (Ruddy Aby). Bubbles and Peaches are both rescues. Bubbles' very pregnant mom was rescued off the street so Bubs was born in a safe place and Peaches was found in a feral colony.

That is such a great picture! It looks like Tess got into a drawer and Magnus is looking at her like "And now how am I going to get you out of there you naw-tee kat?" :D

Mango makes a habit of camping out on people's shoulders too:

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! Cute pictures!!

An Aby question...do your Abys play bite your head while grooming you??

Randy_K

12-07-2003, 11:42 PM

Mango doesn't bite while grooming people but Peaches does.

Barbara

12-08-2003, 02:56 AM

Filou bites but very rarely. Normally he just makes sure his dad has a purrfect hairdo;)

*ABYCAT* Alice

12-08-2003, 10:55 AM

Costello never bites, and he is only grooming my hands and arms.

Here he's playing with a homemade paper toy:

Wow, those are some awesome pictures, you have some cats with some purrrsonality and character! You are a great photographer! I look forward to more pics! :D

Barbara

Sara, of course everyone here at PT knows you both are crazy. If you send this Christmas cards to your other friends they will know it too. ;)

Alice: the bathroom is one of Filou's favorite places for sitting on people's shoulder:D
