Look up in the sky! It's SUPER TUX!

[tuxluvr]

Who, disguised as mild-mannered (uh, who wrote this??) Ritzy, fights for truth, justice, and a fake fur mousie for every kitty!


Sorry, guys, was having fun with photo shop and ran into this picture of Ritzy - flipped it over and thought she looked like she was flying through the air like Superman!

[koxka]

I should probably take a course - I just kind of "winged" it...let me know if you find a good one.

I was trying to decide if Tux was saving Seattle or traversing Toronto! Glad Weeze cleared it up for me.

Way to go Tux!

[toughCookie]

Ritzy to the rescue!!

lol....oops, I just realized your avatar says "catalonia" not "california"...in either case, you are right a loooong way to go for a graphics classs :)

[Tina]

LOL What a cute picture!!

[AmberLee]

Sooo adorable!

Okay, it's been a while since I paid attention to Saturday morning cartoons, but wasn't there a Superboy and Supergirl in addition to the 'Man of Steel'??? Why NOT a Supercat or a Supertux?

[tuxluvr]

thought you would get a kick out of the "real" picture that inspired my artistry :)

[Miss Meow]

What a great picture - I agree with AmberLee, a super cat hero is definitely on the cards!

[AmberLee]

She looks so kittenish in that shot -- how old was she?

[Sara luvs her Tinky]

*LOL*
That was funny!!

SuperRitzy to the rescue;)

[krazyaboutkatz]

Actually, it wasn't that long ago....earlier this year, she had just turned 2 years old. When she plays she really gets this kittenish look about her....big wide eyes and romping mode.

Hey Sara...whose cow is that in your signature? !http://www.accessatlanta.com/ajc/home/images/ginger0921.jpg Great pose!

[tuxluvr]

Ritzy isn't sure about this superhero stuff - says she doesn't look good in red leotards.


I think she could go "au naturele"....perhaps a silver cape for added flying power! :)

[Songlover]

Dear Tuxluvr,
that is such a wonderful picture of your tux kitty flying over the CN tower in downtown Toronto!!! Hope she finds the bad guys and gets her just catnip reward!

If I had known that I would have had such exciting kitty events to look forward to, perhaps I would not have moved from Toronto to Monteal 4 months ago!

Cat lover Deborah in Montreal,Canada

P.S. I am the proud owner of 3 tuxedo cats, too.

Wow! 3---do they get along well? I thought the CN tower was a good backdrop. I visited Toronto a few years ago on business and went up the CN tower - that's quite a structure!

Ritzy doesn't care much for catnip, but I hear her "secret power food" is actualy chicken noodle soup! :)

[tuxluvr]

Yes, I AM SuperTuxGirl, Ritzee---I can fly into your town, fling all of the mousies around, terrorize the bad guys by hiding in the alley and attacking their ankles as they round the corner....

My whiskers are actually deadly weapons! See,when I yawn I can project them and actually shoot them at my opponents...(see exploding whisker picture attached)....ok...so maybe it's the kibble breath that really takes them down!
:rolleyes: :D ;)

[Songlover]

Dear Tuxluvr Well, do my three tuxes get along?? The answer is threefold! as any owner of a tuxedo cat can tell you, they each have very individual personalities.

I have actually owned 4 tuxedo cats. Fifteen years ago, I adopted two tuxedo sisters who were rescued as babies from the streets of Toronto. I named them "Prima" and "Diva", since I am a singer! Little did I know how appropriate the names would be since my little Diva lived up to her name and was extremely dramatic and vocal and a bit egotistical!! She was extremely dog-like in as much as she was devoted to me and the rest of the world really did not exist. She dominated her sister Prima (who ironically was always "Secondo" and grew up to be rather nervous and timid under the domination of her sister). I lived happily with my little tuxedo sisters until Diva died in Aug. 2001 at the age of 14. I still have my Prima who just celebrated her 15th birthday in July of 2002.
The best part is that now Prima REALLY IS NUMBER ONE in my cat household!! You see, if you wait long enough, sometimes you will be rewarded with the things you really want! LOL!

Five years ago I adopted another unwanted kitten from the streets of Toronto. He is also a tuxedo, but his markings are very irregular and they include a nose that is a perfect black triangle set against white!! He is very individual looking. I kept up my tradition of artistic names and I call him "Pablo Picasso", but just Picasso for short! He has an entirely different personality compared to my first two tuxedos. In short, he is a lover!! I also call him my "gentle giant" since he grew to be 19 pounds. Currently he is eating Hills reducing diet and has lost 2 pounds over the past year or so. We are aiming for 15 pounds as a healthy weight, since he is a very big cat.

As if that were not enough tuxedo cats, I fell in love with a kitten in a veterinarian's window just this last July. He is also a tuxedo kitty, but also with a very irregular face. He has a perfect little black mustache which causes him to closely resemble Charlie Chaplin!! I thought about calling him Charlie, but wanted to keep up my artistic theme, so I have named him "Piano" since his black and white nose looks like a piano key!! He is now 6 1/2 months and he, too, is a real lover!! I call him my "constant purring machine". What better way to celebrate my new city than to adopt my first little french Canadian kitty?

Sorry, I got off track....as to how do they get along.....well, Prima has become quite dominate since the death of her sister and as long as she is number one, things are not too bad!!! Picasso has always been a loner, but since I adopted Piano, he has really blossomed and has become a much happier cat. The new kitty adores Picasso and they play together all the time which is fine with Prima as long as they do not bother her (which they do, of course!!!).

I have to get a scanner so that I can post their pictures. I love the assortment of pictures you have posted of Ritzey (sorry, I may have misspelled her name)...they are so beautiful as I am sure she is in real life.....all for now..from Deborah, big time cat lover in Montreal, Canada.

:eek: Beware of Supercat!!!!:eek:

:D :D :p :D

Every life needs nine cats, and it wouldn't hurt if they were all like Miz Ritzy!

What a great photo! :D

I'm getting tux-fever.....

Aww so sweet of you to say! Hey, I noticed this thread was rated 5 STARS! How cool is that? Ritz and I are flattered.

Songlover- thanks for the history of your affiliation with the "Tuxedo Lover's Society" - they are such beautiful kitties...and I like all kitties, but have always had a soft spot in my heart for these little "Primadonnas"....and the names you picked are just PURRRFECT! Ritz was named for "Puttin on the Ritz" song

[Vermontcat]

Tuxluvr, I love the photos of your super tux! I especially like that close-up of your new avatar, was she meowing, hissing or roaring when you took that photo!:D

Songlover, your cats sound beautiful, I look forward to seeing photos of them when you get the chance. Montreal is not too far from me, any chance that your kitties ever travel south of the border?

Well, actually she was YAWWWWNING! :)

[kobear]

I knew our tuxies were special - I will keep a look out in case she passes over - Now THAT would thrill Base Security, not to mention the SD Zoo across the street here!

Good plan. I'm sure it's tough trying to maintain a secret identity when you're constantly trying to slip in and out of leotards of _any_ color. Capes are MUCH more discreet and face it: Ritzy can carry off the dramatic look with just the twitch of a whisker. She is a queen with STYLE. Some got it, some don't. :D ;) :D

ROTFLOL!! YOu hit it, Amberlee..I always wondered about Superman and his "instant" wardrobe changes - he had to wear that stuff under his clothes all the time - any woman who has attempted to put on a pair of pantyhose or tights on a humid summer day in the midwest can attest to the impossibility of that feat!

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

:D :D :D

[catmandu]

ITS A BIRD! ITS A PLANE! NO ITS SUPER RITZY! ON THE WAY TO PROVIDE TRUTH , JUSTICE AND THE AMERICAN WAY FOR ALL CATS! FASTER THAN A SPEEDING BULLET! mORE POWERFUL THAT A LOCOMOTIVE! ABLE TO LEAP TALL BUILDINGS WITH A SINGLE BOUND! SUPER TUX!!!!

[rg_girlca]

LOL Great pic.
I fly through the air with the greatest of ease.

That's hilarious!

Ritzy Supertux with the deadly whiskers- you are a star in cat movie heaven!!!!!!

Perhaps I'm being a little overly-sensitive/sentimental but it's getting a bit close to my 'down' time of year...

August 25, 1992 -- Thomas, my very first kitty and a tuxie to boot, left for the RB Bridge.

22 days after I posted this msg., Miz Sophie left for the RB Bridge.

BUT...


42 days after I posted this msg, a grey/white tuxie girl entered my life. :)

Oh Ritzy you are the coolest! Rocky would love to be a super tuxie but he can't because he's too fat.

Heh, heh...Ritzy,at 15lbs, is hardly "svelt"... (those super hero leotards hold in a lot) :)

[slick]

Oh Ritzy, you can be my super tux any day!! I just love you, tights and all!!

[Vio&Juni]

Ritz, SuperTux, you're beautiful!

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh Ritzy, we feel much safer knowing you are up there. With your meowmie's abilities in Photoshop, I'm sure it won't be too long berfore we see you with a silver cape.
