cat pictures anyone?

Jen, you are 100% correct!!! That six pound girl, Mimi, who is 13 years old, hisses at him every single time he walks near her. And Butter, who is probably 15 pounds, is scared of her!!!! LOL!!! I'm glad. Because if he hurt her a single time, he'd be out. She was here first. They have learned to co-exist, but she hates him. And on occasion, he just can't stand it, and must chase her!!! Wish he wouldn't, but she puts him in his place very quickly!! :D

Butter got his name, originally, because of his "butterscotch" highlights.........but your mom's reasoning is much more sound!!! LOL!!! I do love him though......don't get me wrong about that.

Logan, what kind of cat is Butter, do you know? He has very similar coloring as my Bo does. And Bo has the same bright blue eyes. Bo's flame points are a little more muted than Butter's, but I don't see that color of cat often.

Logan -- never say "never." Who knows what might happen after your move???? When we moved (to a larger house) Edwina's behavior changed in ways...she became more of a cuddler -- lap, bed...more sociable.

She likes to sleep in the curve behind my knees at night. After a few hours in the same position I begin to ache and need to turn over. I jiggle my legs...she gets up and moves off a bit with a HUGE sigh and sits waiting.... I turn over, get comfortable and she promptly returns to her position snuggled up against my legs. We may go through this procedure three or so times each night....

You do realize that what he needs is a cat friend that will NOT hiss at him, if you know what I mean.;) ;) :D ;) ;)

Ooooooooohhhh, I must not let Scott see these replies!!!! LOL!!! He is NOT a cat person, but I'm working on changing that. But Scott doesn't like Butter any more than Mimi does....Butter bit him on our second date and has done it several more times since then, completely unprovoked! Maybe Butter is jealous of another man being in the house! Butter doesn't like other cats at all. He is constantly bleeding from some wound he got in a cat fight. His only respect is for Mimi.

JEN!!!! Shame on you!!! I don't think there are any more cats in my immediate future, although I'd love to adopt one. I love cats. I love dogs. I love birds, and hamsters, and Chinchillas and Hedgehogs, and Parakeets, Guinea Pigs, and Lovebirds, and bunnies......I am completely hopeless!!!! But with two big dogs, and a third one on its way (in 58 days :eek: ) plus the two cats, two Cockatiels and a hamster, we have enough.

Boscibo, from what others have told me, Butter probably has some flame point Siamese in him. He just showed up here, around Christmas/New Years in 2000. It was so very cold here, and I finally couldn't stand it any more and let him in. He never left!!

I know very little of his history, except that I did eventually find a lady who had been feeding him, outdoors, for about six months before he ventured over the creek and came here. He "yowls' like a Siamese. And he is very, very loving at times. But is quite unpredictable. The nice thing (a redeeming quality) is that he likes to be where I am. He gets "near", whether it is in my office, the living room, my bedroom, the shower, etc. And he adores my dogs. And they LOVE to play with him. They have great games of chasing Butter up the tree, and he comes down and it starts all over!! I think this boy fended for himself for a long time. My vet estimates his age at 4-5 years old. I had him checked over thoroughly and neutered, immediately. And I keep hoping that as he ages, he will settle down a little and become more trusting of me. He never bites my daughter, but I have lots and lots of scars from giving him a little too much loving. But he does sleep with me every single night that he is inside. Don't know what he will do when I get married and have someone else in the bed with me!! LOL!! We'll soon find out!! Butter's side of the bed will soon become Scott's side of the bed, and it will be interesting to see where Mr. Butter decides to land.

Sorry for the epistle!!!
Logan :o
