Outdoors and Cole's Sibe Tail

[Catty1]

Awwww...she is just SO pretty! I even call Oscar my pretty boy...cause he is!

They really do look alike. Wow

I hope my Oscar is with me for as long as your sweet Katie was with you.

I know he is my heart cat and his passing will rip me up...but I am gonna love him with all my heart just the same!

And his brother Cole is really special too..."My Little Prince"!

I am pet-sitting a houseful of cats while their mom and dad visit Egypt. One of the cats is a big handsome brown tabby boy named Oscar the Wild!

Pat - is a pic of that boy possible?

Beautiful pictures of the boys. Oscar looks a lot like my Tazmoe too.
And Cole actually looks like a cat that lives at my vets office. His name is Murphy. He needs a home, but for now he's just living at the office. He is the office mascot.

How old are the boys?

[Catty1]

best guess...vet is sure Cole is 2 (as of Oct) and Oscar is about 5
pardon typing...fresh Sally hansen on nails

Friday was bitter cold here, but my 4 who go outside supervised INSISTED on a trip out to the backyard and the sun shine. Joke was on them, ha ha. Vita never made it out of the garage, she was back at the door to get inside. Chestnut stepped off the concrete apron onto the frozen grass (we have no snow yet) and tippy toed around for 30 seconds before he too had to get back in. And he was the noisiest one demanding to get out, ha ha.

Sparkle just headed straight for the catnip (all gone at this time of year) until a gust of wind literally chased her back inside. And then there is Crystal. She settled under the bird feeder and was prepared to wait as long as it took. I had to pick her up and carry her in.

I do hope Oscar and Cole were a bit more cooperative in their venture outside on the deck. The sun speckling Oscar's back in the first pic is startling! I can't decide if he has a white tip on his tail or if that is more of the sun. And the plume on the rear end of Cole is gorgeous!!!!

Oscar's tail is interesting....the last 3 inches or so of it turn from a brown tabby to almost a silver tabby marking. So that is what you likely noticed.

He IS pretty, isn't he? (proud meowmie)

As it gets dry up here, and he started scratching a lot under his chin, I started adding a single drop of canola oil to each cat's wet food in the morning.
Great results within a week! And no extra scratching! Oscar's fur is SOOOO soft now...So is Cole's but there is a lot more fur for the oil to work with, and he never had a scratching problem. But he is nice and shiny!

How did I miss this? I LOVE Cole's floofy tail!

[Catty1]

What the heck is a Fishercat? Sounds like a Raptor!

Candace, today I discovered that I described Oscar the Wild wrong: he's not the tabby boy, he's a handsome tuxedo. (The tabby is named Tiger.)

I could get some pictures, and since you mention it, I think I will! I'm sure Kristine and Simon would be delighted to have some new pictures of their cats when they get back from Egypt, too.

I have to do it in a rather roundabout way, since I don't have a digital camera yet: take film pictures, then take the roll in for processing and get a CD of them too. So it will take a bit of time, but when I get one(s) of Oscar, I'll post it (or them) here.

Your boys sure are handsome. My Sky and Ziggy both have the poofy tails too.

- When I first read this thread and saw the picture of Cole, I remembered how much he looked like my Abby.
I could'nt find one of her fluffy tail, but these were kinda close.





in this next picture here , you can really see how much she looks like Cole

[Catty1]

omigosh - they are twins!

Cole has his winter coat, and this morning I referred to him as a Woolly Mammoth!

Or woolly black sheepskin - especially when he flops on his back!
