That explains a lot! Does she do any high speed cornering??? WEll, yes..she tears down the carpeted stairs going about 90, skipping two or three steps on each land, then hits the linoleum landing and makes an IMMEDIATE 90 DEGREE TURN...and in seconds flat, is rounding the turn from the great room to the kitchen.......hmmmm Nascar kitty! (and at 15 lbs she makes about as much noise-we refer to it as the "thundering kitty herd")
Yep, it's NASCAR all the way here. My boys are like - who are the big nascar rivals?- anyway. Rocky weighed in at 16lbs last time so he's a bit of a thundercat himself. And Taz is a mere 8 lbs, but can keep up!Quote:

And it almost looks like Rocky is a little "toed out" which would explain the "thundercat" because he wouldn't be able to do the corners quite as well as if he were "toed in."Quote:

And Ritzy! I never knew! You are always so sedate in your photos that I never knew you had a high speed side to you. :D :D :D

I think Ritz may be pushing that 16lb mark - we had to change her diet to take care of urinary crystals, and this food tends to make them a little more weight prone...when people see Ritz, they see BIG CAT, must be a boy...but she is all girl....all the way to the occasional snooty attitude. She is extremely active - at 3yrs old I keep thinking "when do they quit running around like kittens'? But, I also treasure it -she is a lot of fun...she gets going about 8pm running through the house doing her bootleg 180's on the kitchen linoleum, scaring herself into one of those little "fright dances" with a curled up fuzzed out tail....just hilarious.
A lady has secrets :) (and meowmie tries to get photos of me in "full romp mode" but they always just come out a big black and white blur)......and of course these moments of wild abandon are padded on each side with a suitable 16-hour nap, after all, a girl needs her beauty sleep! :rolleyes: ;)Quote:

Edwina, see question about fashion category earlier in thread..;)
Ahhhh, I just can't get enough of these pretty black and whites!
Great pics!!
It is so nice to see the beautiful Ritzy again.:)
The photos of her and Rocky side by side made me think of matching bookends for the office.;)
If you would prefer a set of mini tux bookends for your office decor, Noah's Mommy has two sets, one in black/white and the other in gray/white.:)

Hmm..tuxedo bookends! What a cool idea! Cataholic actually has enough for a tuxedo "border" :)
Ritzy sweetie, it’s always a pleasure to see you, no wonder your mommy gets inspired with you sitting in the office. :)
But of course, a bit of exersise never hurts, so you do your racing around and keep fit. Fister says to tell you mom: “Don’t get Hills W/D to try and slim you down, it’s really not that yummy” ;) (less fat).
