Cat by the name of Grover

Grover is such a cutie.:) I'm sure you must be so bonded
by now since you've raised her from a tiny baby. I loved all
her pictures in the album.:) Very beautiful coloring.:)

p.s. Did the momma dog have her puppies o.k.?

Hi lizbud
Buffy had her puppies just fine, of course she is so spoiled that she would not have them until I put her in bed with me:eek: , so I ended up putting garbage bags on the bed and then quilts and sheets so i would not have a mess, and then when I layed down with her, she had them, she is a very spoiled chihuahua, I don't know how she go so spoiled.:D , LOL , she had 4 beautiful puppies, with no problems, well actually she had 5, and one was born dead.:( , but I was thankful for the ones she had that lived. It just makes a nervous wreck out of me when she has puppies, but she will not be having anymore, the babymaker left. sigh of relief. She has had enough puppys, don't want her to have anymore, I lost one like that, don't know what happend, but she had done so well with all her others, and then with the last litter, she got down, I begged the Vet to please let me bring her in at 4 o'clock in the morning, but he told me she was just tired, but I knew better, finally he let me bring her in around 6 in the morning, and she died just as he was driving up into the parking lot. So now I get very nervous when Buffy has puppies, but not anymore for her. My little Tito was the one that died, she left me wiht 6 babies to raise, and they all died except one, and I name him Little Man, but at the age of three months he fell off of my couch and died, he broke my heart, I thought I would surely get to keep one of Tito's pups. Tito was my first Chihuahua, I've loved them ever since. Thanks for your concern for my little Buffy and the comments about my grover.

How long did Pouncer live, and did Pouncer have that funny looking tail that Grover has? She really has a strange tail, but I love it just the same, fact is thats what makes her so unique. I think you know a very good friend of mine, amoore. She has very beautiful cats and dogs too. Thanks for the blessings, and comments.

From trash to treasures is absolutley true, my little girl was so tiny, she was only about 2 weeks old when I got her, don't know how much she weighed though. We are two lucky people to have these wonderful treasures, that some ignorant person did not want, I'm like you, I wouldn't trade her for anything in this world, or for no amount of money, she is my baby. I know you breathe a sigh of relief everytime you look at your precious boy, ummmm, yours is a boy and mine is a girl and they have so much in common, oh wait I just had mine spayed. LOL. Anyway we are two lucky people to find friendship in a trashcan. :D

Grover is just adorable! She was so tiny when you got her, and look how much she's grown. Those markings are just beautiful. Her tail is shaped just like Toby's except his is a little longer. It's kinked on the end like that, too (I haven't been able to catch a good photo of his tail sticking out). I think it got slammed in a door - what do you think?

Hi stacwase,
Your cats tail is like this? How cute. The part that curls on Grovers tail, is excess skin, I think she was born that way, she was a natural bobtail, but it was deformed with the extra skin on the end of it, my husband wanted me to snip the extra skin off, but no way!! It looks so hilarious when she walks around with her little tail erect, and that tail has so much hair on it. When she gets suprised or scared, it gets huge and very fluffy and very round, like cotton tail bunnys tail.LOL. It is so funny looking, I love her, deformed tail and all. LOL. Sounds like Toby's tail is a winner too, I would love to see a picture of Toby, he has to be adorable, what a match him and Grover would make.:D Is he as mean as Grover, she is contantly into things, stealing things, she is a regular little thief, and thinks she belongs up here on my computer desk, not good for keyboard, but well she is spoiled, what can I say? Thank you for you wonderful comments about my Grover and your beautiful Toby.:)

p.s. Toby and Grover could sit around and talk about their tails.

Hi popcornbird, I just want to thank you for helping me with my signature, I really like it and you done Grover the justice she deserves. Thanks again!:) :D

P.S. Popcornbird, I love it, again many thanks for helping me, now if you could just teach me to use photoshop like that, I would really be a happy camper, but yes I love my signature now, it is perfect.:)

You're welcome. :) I'm glad you liked it! Grover is such a precious kitty and I can't believe anyone could be so cruel to throw him/her in the trash can! :mad: I'm so glad you saved her and she found her forever home with your family. :D

Ps. I actually had no idea how to use PhotoShop several months ago. Some members of this board taught me how to use the main features, and the rest, I figured myself. :)

I guess it's not the same kind of tail! It looks the same though. Toby's doesn't have excess skin - it's just bent. Well they look cute anyway.

Hey stacwase,
Grover and Toby still can get together and talk about their tails, Toby certainly is a beautiful cat, I love his color, I don't care what anybody says, I love black cats:D , and I bet he is beautiful with that stubb tail. Thanks to all for the comment on my Grover.

Hi popcornbird
I just can't figure out how you got the pictures into one picture like that, what feature did you use in photoshop to do that, did you have to make the pictures smaller too. Just tell me where you found those options, I have looked that program over, and can't see anything to lead me to what you done, including putting the frame around them. Just give me a few pointers, photoshop seems to be so complicated, I can't even figure out how to get red eye out of a picture.:confused: Give me all the pointers you can, because I would really love to learn just a little about the program. I thank you, and so does my Grover, and Charliebird, you know him, don't you? LOL. Thanks for any advice or instructions you can give me.

Thanks again, and you do work wonders,
trayi52

P.S. If anybody else on here can give me some pointers and instruction, please do. I need all the help I can get.

How could I miss this thread. Grover is sooo cute with her big eyes. A tail like that is quite common in South East Asian cats and sometimes it appears here too:) However Grover's tail looks -she is a cute tortie princess.

I missed this too. :o Grover is SO cute, I'm happy your daughter noticed her in the garbage bin and saved her. She must be the best ever mothers day present you've got!! :D Keep spoiling her rotten, she deserves it! ;)

Looking forward to more stories and pics of her. :)

that is such a cutie! sitting in that hat ,i love that picture ! makes me want to hold her . thankyou for showing her picture ,i also enjoyed your picture album , thank you so much for the tour of her growth ,and cute little things she does .:) :D

Awww! I'm sure the little crook in your tail gives you added charm. :) YOU HAVE SUCH LOVELY BLUE EYES! I HAVE SEEN OTHER CATS WITH SIMILAR COLORING TO YOURS, BUT THEIR EYES WERE NOT THIS GORGEOUS BLUE THAT YOURS ARE. SOUNDS LIKE YOUR MOMMY HAS TAKEN WONDERFUL CARE OF YOU AND LOVED YOU WELL, ALONG WITH BIG SIS WHO FOUND YOU. I HOPE TO SEE LOTS MORE WHERE THIS CUTE PICTURE CAME FROM!:D

Hi Barbara and Randi,
I guess it kind of easy to miss some things, and yeap, she is my tortie princess, funny tail and all. Thank you for your compliments. I really appreciate it so much.

Thanks,
Willie or should I say trayi52
:D :cool: :)

Hi Uabassoon,
Yeah she has certainly found she likes owning me as her pet. Maybe she will start a thread in here about me. She is spoiled rotten and thinks she is the boss of this house, or should I say she knows it for sure. She certainly is living a good life now, gets whatever she wants, the only thing she don't like is that I won't let her go outside, there are coyotes around and I am so afraid that one will get her, and I don't know what I would do without her.
:)

Hey popcornbird, you was wanting to see a picture of my teil, Charlie Sweet, here is one of him attached, he looks normal, but as I told you, he is far from "normal" in his personalilty. I also have a capuchin monkey that I was thinking about starting a thread about in other pets, I just need more pictures of him. :)

Hey [email protected],
Grovers eyes have now changed since she has done some growing up, but to me they are still beautiful, I know you were asking for a picture of Mario, my capuchin monkey, so I am including an attachment with this reply. I am thinking of starting a thread about Mario. He runs loose outside and he looks in the windows at us, but anyway here is a picture of him and Dakota.

i love reading about your sweet little kitty grover . she is really a wonderful rescue , that has rewarded you many times over . there just needs to be more compassion for the little creatures that are homeless ,like you gave grover . the rewards are endless.
the bad thing is there are people that have no compassion for any species . i have seen humans abused, as well as animals abused and mistreated, because of their sex, religion,race , education , disabilities...and it goes on and on..... there are people with no heart that do these things to other living creatures ! i am so glad grover was found by a compassionate and loving person . :)

trayi52, please do share about Mario, he is just too cute and too interesting to not share with the world! :D And By the way, about Grover's eyes. Doesn't matter what color they turned out to be; she is still beautiful, princess Grover! :D
amoore: I agree with you completely, there are animals abused, humans abused and it is ussually about all or one the things you mentioned. Yes, with this beautiful world we have been given, along with it came some heartless people, as well, as these heroes like trayi52, and people full of kindness as both of you are.:) Thank you both for all your kindness.

Hi anathiona,
Thank you for your reply on my sweet little Grover, she is a miracle to me, like god just dropped her in my lap to love and love me back. I am not sure about whether I will start a thread about Mario or not, probably not. I have just run into so many conflicts her on pet talk, I am thinking about just deleting the whole thread, and leaving pet talk altogether. Everybody in this thread has been very nice, but some of the other threads that I subscribed to are just vicious, with talk I certainly would not want my children or grandchildren to read. I guess, I need to go lay down on the couch and take one of those little naps with my Grover. Maybe I will feel better. I want to thank everybody who has responed to My little Grover, you just can't imagine how good all of you made me feel. This thread has been very rewarding to me and to my little Grover, who seems to get bigger and bigger everyday and sinking deeper into my heart every moment she is with me, she really is a gift from god to me, think about this, I never seen what her parents looked like, and she was just found in a car and used as a football and then dumped in the trash just for me. :) :D Again thanks and I love you all for all the kind words of encouragement I have received.

i love the way you and your daughter saved beautiful grover. i think all of us did . i admire people like you . don't let someone like that take your grover away from us . we want to hear more and watch grover grow and be a happy loving kitty . don't let one bad apple make you leave us . like my favorite singer Cat Stevens sings ...its a wild world . you know we all love her already . i fixed you a picture up of your sweet little grover , that i found in here . that i will put in here next time .

ok ,i will put my picture in here ,its my first atempt to work with pictures . but it was such a cut picture of grover !:)

That was a lovely picture of my precious Grover, thats the picture where it looks like she has outgrown her little basket that she used to be able to sleep in comfortably, I used to try and keep her toys in that basket, (it was one of my grandchildrens Easter baskets) but she would take all the toys out and sleep in it, so i moved it to the top of the television, and she still found that she could jump high and get in it anyway. Imagine me thinking that I could put it high enough for a cat not to reach? Thanks for going to my album and picking this picture out. I am going to put more pictures in it later on tonight, I will send you an invitation to veiw it. Thanks:)

Aww, she's growing up to be a beautiful girl. More Grover pictures please!! :D

Hi Killearn Kitties
Thanks for the comments about my beautiful Grover, and yes she is really growing. Its funny that I don't notice it, but when my older married daughter comes in and says mama Grover really is growing, and I say you really think so? I go look at the pictures I Have took of her when she was just a baby, and I think, who is that cute little kitten in that picture, she has lost most of her baby face. To me it is still such a beautiful face, still has the mischievousness in her little face, like when she steals my ponytail holders, seems to be her favorite thing to play with, or just a paper off my desk. Thats where she likes to eat, her little food bowl sets on my desk, so that she can eat when she wants to. I have to keep it there because my chihuahuas like to eat her food too. :confused: and they have their own food, but still they have to try and eat her food too, and her food cost more than theirs. Kitten food sure is high. LOL, but she is worth every penny of it, I say this as she is in my desk drawer messing with somthing in there, don't know what she is looking for.:confused:
I wonder what happened to our pictures from imagestation? My signature is not showing and the link to my photo album is just bringing up a page not found, must be having trouble with their page, at least I hope my signature hasn't diappeared into the land of nothing. Oh well maybe it will be back tomorrow, I am keeping my fingers crossed anyway.:)

Imagestation has its days, when the site goes down sometimes........and then our signatures won't show. Hopefully it will be back by tomorrow. It usually goes down at night when it goes down, and by morning, its fixed. Don't worry about it. :p

As for teaching you to use PhotoShop, I think we had a whole thread about it on General before.........and that's where I got my tips. Maybe if you go to General and seach *PhotoShop*, you will find it.

I would love to teach you how to use it, but with school and everything, I'm not sure how I'll get the time to make a whole explanation........but whenever I get time, I'll be sure to tell you what I know!

Willie, I had been discouraged with some of the other threads here as well; but I know that we have the special bond it takes to belong here with our babies, so don't let that stop you from brigtening this thread and whichever others that you are comfortable with. I thought seriously about that too, (only because of certain other threads, but not any of the genrals. I decided not to leave. I hope you will decide not to leave also. I really love your stories about all your special babies, so I am sure may other memebers feel the same way about your posts.
Aww come on; Mario is very special and soo cute! I hope you will reconsider and do a special thread all about him. :D

Thought I would post a picture of Charlie sweet, the cockteil, and oh by the way I think I put some new ones in imagestation too.Thanks popcorn for your kind words.:)

popcorn, im not sure if i posted anymore pictures in there or not, I am so tired, i had a very bad and long day, had to go to a town about 100 miles from here for lin, and well it was a burnt run, didnt find what she was looking for anyway. she wants to go back tomorrow, but no way, i know we traveled over 300 miles today, just running around murfeesboro, tn looking. so i am so tired. im too old for this kind of stuff. oh my, look at the way i am typing, i must think im on msn messenger. no capital letters.:confused: :) and besides, i guess i must be one of those thar rednecks. LOL:D ;)

Funny thing happened with Grover early this morning, I was sleeping, when I finally awoke, and she was slapping me on my face and nudging me with her nose, but when she finally got me awake, I was having some sort of chills, and I could barely breathe. I realized I was hyperventalating for some reason. Anyway when she woke me, I finally did get my breathing calmed down and put me an extra blanket on the bed, and she crawled under the blankets with me, and cuddled really close, like she was trying to keep me warm, I have never had a cat or a dog do somthing like this before, like she was trying to help me. Maybe it sounds stupid, but I believe she was trying to help me.
Oh by the way popcorn, I have a few more pictures in my album of Charlie sweet, if you want to see a weird bird, that sounds like a telephone dialing, a puppy whining and making kissing sounds when you tell him you love him.LOL.:)

Hey Willie,
It is not silly to believe that princess Grover kitty was trying to wake you up to help you, these sweet little creatures have an extra sense about them and they know when a person is sick or in danger. My little April, the night before LaKesha got so bad off, kept us awake all night whining and was so restless, neither of us (husband and I), got very little sleep that entire night. I thought she was in labor, but I found out the next morning that she wasn't even pregnant. That evening, LaKesha Anathiona almost died, (I added her middle name so that everyone here would see where I got my user name here.) Now, I know why she did what she did. She was trying to tell us that LaKesha was getting really sick. My soon to be ex- sister-in-law has a big, beautiful pit bull and he knows I have problems and will not try to knock me down of all people. These special gifts knows things that we can't possibly know. And I feel sure that they do, I will never believe different. Grover is a gem. I am so happy she was there to wake you up. Give her love from me. :)

Though I officially had to end my Floyd thread last night, I would like to let everone know that, as I was picking up more of mine and my son's belongings from our ex-home, I got to visit with Floyd.:D He was cold because my soon to be ex-husband left the air on while he was at his evening shift job.:( But I talked to him a lot, and I felt the pain of not being with him for the past couple of days.:( Little Ann had no food and very little water, but she is bad to throw her bowls around and dump them so it isn't a big shock to find empty bowls, but on the ground was only a small amount of food, so I had Blake (my son) to feed her and water her. We gave her attention and she was happy. I really hope he is going to be good to these little guys and make them happy. They deserve it. I miss Floyd so much. I just wish I could take him with me, but due to how we got him, it is impossible. :( The good thing is, until I get all of our things brought to where we now live, I will get to check in on Floyd and Lil' Ann for awhile.:( :) My litte April will get me through this loss as she has got me through much bigger losses in the past. She is my little four- legged, furry angel.:) Just wanted to let everyone know I got to see Floyd and Lil' Ann for a little while today. :)

Jennifer, is it not bad for him to get so cold, I always thought, that birds like that could not stand the cold, of course, im not that knowing about birds, all I know about is my Charlie Sweet, so I'm not too good at knowing whats good for them and whats not. Maybe you should just go ahead and tell that X that if he can't take care of Floyd properly, then you are going to take him with you, and you would let him a supervised visitations .:D. It sounds like he is not going to even remember that he has Floyd, and that is just being mean to him. Who knows he may not even notice that Floyd is gone. LOL. I hope he treats lil ann okay. I would hate to see her stop developing as young as she is, she still has a lot of growing to do.

Willie

I believe you are right, I believe these birds flourish in hot climates. I wish I could take him, but he is one that thinks of pets as objects of value first, then pets second. If I could I would take him in a minute, but I would be dragged into court. I love Floyd and I know that if his family finds him mistreating Floyd, one of them will take him and it will be someone that will take care of him I believe. I think though that Floyd may have been hit with a broom as he is afraid of a broom. I don't really know what to do. I do not have a right to take him. I hope and pray, he will be alright. I know my x will not hurt him, and I know he will be fed and tlaked to, but he will never get what i gave to him, I loved him for who he was, not how much he was worth. The family says that they bought him for $3000.00 but I do not see him in dollar signs. He is precious. Because he is hip-hopping, sweet talking, pretty boy Floyd.

Well I don't how anybody can think of a pet bird as just something
that its only value is money, my little Grover is worth much more to me than any amount of money, I put my heart and soul into this little baby, and my heart and soul is not for sale at any price, so that means I could never part with Grover, no! Not for any amount of money. I take care of her and I believe with all my heart she takes care of me too. :) :cool:

:eek::eek: Charlie is SUCH an adorable birdie!!!! AWWWWW! Thanks so much for sharing! :D

Be careful with his around the cat though. I would *never* trust a cat with a bird. Never. Its just not safe enough.

Anathiona, I'm so glad you got to see Floyd, but heartbroken that it seems he isn't being well taken care of. :( I hope someone takes good care of him, and loves him as they should. Poor baby. :(

As for him being afraid of brooms, I don't think that should mean he was hit by one. My birdies are scared to death of brooms and they haven't even ever come near one. They just see me sweeping and get so frightened.

i thankyou for the sweet story of grover . im so glad she was there to help you . may have saved your life ! give her a kiss for being a life saver. :) i have added a new picture of sunny . maybe grover would like to see .:D

Your absolutly right popcorn, I don't trust Grover around Charlie too much, just when I am in the room with them, if I leave the room I either put Charlie back in the cage or put Grover out of the room, Pyewackett, my other cat, now there was a cat I could trust, she would never bother a bird at all, you should have seen her, my birds could just walk all around her and she would just go on sleeping unless they pecked her, then she would just get up and move to another location. I am hoping as Grover gets older that she will realize that Charlie lived here first and she becomes tolerant of her, right now Grover thinks everything is a toy, even me. Seems amazing that all the pets that I'm really close to, are the ones i fed as little babys, Charlie, Grover, and Buffy my little Chihuahua. Here is a picture of Pyewackett and her kittens.
:) :D
