I think Gabe needed a change

That's a great picture Sas. It reminds me of Storm and Sunny. The next time that my cats play I'll have to take a few pics. Thanks for sharing.

Graemer notifies Mom that there MUST be something of interest beyond the blind and get that window open right away!


Graemer tells Gabe - "hey, I think you're looking in the wrong direction, dumb-dumb, - it is OUTSIDE - not UP THERE!"


At last, we are both looking in the same direction, at that little birdie that no one else can see!


Gabe decided that the birdie thing was boring and thought walking all over Sas' computer desk and photosmart printer would be fun and OK!



Hope you enjoy the photos! What a group of cats!

These pictures and captions are the best yet!!! What a difference in the profiles (physiques!) of Graemer and Gabe! LOL! Sallyanne the view out your window is just gorgeous - beautiful greenery everywhere - just lovely! I would be poised at the windowsill too. I remember the days when Gabe would clunk across Robyn's printer too! Keep the pics coming. These are terrific!

Thanks for the pics. I love them. It looks like you have a couple of characters there.

Have to ask?? Is Gabe really as hefty as he looks or when wet does he shrink a size or two. I know fluffy cats are not always as they appear dry, and abys are very lean. Your boys remind me of Laurel and Hardy. How is Miley getting along with Gabe these days and is the hot spot completely gone?

[sasvermont]

Well, Gabe weighs at least three times what Miley weighs. Miley is a mere 5.5 lbs. and Gabe is over 15 lbs. I just don't know his exact weight. He has hopped on my scale a couple of times, but he doesn't sit very still.... Graemer weighs 6.5 lbs.

Miley's hot spot did clear up only to get a second one and have a second trip to the Vet. He gave her a long term/acting cortizone shot and we are not putting the cream on it quite yet. We are trying to let air get to it. She managed to make her first E-collar disappear so I had to spring for a new E-collar this last visit!

Gabe is heavy and does have lots of hair. I think if you read about Ragdolls, you will see that he is just about right in size and weight. He could probably drop a pound or two and still be fine. He has lost a little weight since he arrived here. I think it is the beer diet! Just kidding. I think it is the exercise, chasing and being chased by Graemer.

Miley is still very snobish to Gabe but has stopped the horrible behavior i.e. hissing, swatting and general ugliness!

That is a great shot of Gabe and Graemer sharing the window sill and the view !!

Many a day would Gabe walk on my printer...try printing a page while he's oon it!! He'll intently watch it print out

Miley's a very smart girl to get rid of that nasty collar. My Bodhi keeps playing with my socks and now I have many mismatched pairs. Who knows where these things disappear to. It's worse than the washing machine.... but a collar that size...... Hugs to Miley. My female is the feisty one too.

Great pictures, SAS! Seems both Graemer and Gabe are characters. That Graemer is something else though with how he always has to be on top of things. And it's funny to see the two of them sitting in the window. They are both beautiful cats, but they are so different that you have to appreciate each one separately (if you get what I'm trying to say). And with Graemer at only 6.5 pounds and Gabe at 15, it's good to see that Graemer pinned Gabe - otherwise I might worry that Gabe might turn into the big bully type (like Tubby) but that doesn't seem to be the case. It really looks like he's enjoying himself and is real happy in his new home. Such a nice heartwarming story, how can we not like following it.

Miley, that is so funny. What an ingenious little girl you are. Plenty of brains packed in those 5.5 lbs.
