There's a skiff of fluff this a.m. and more on the way. Gonna have to pass on the cocoa, though... put on some weight recently and working on getting rid of it (and into my winter clothes)<br /><br />Claire - humans could take some lessons from the way animals can learn to get along, couldn't we? <br /><br />Susan - your Garth and Kochise must have shared the lovey dog gene. Kochise was wonderful with babies of any kind.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-84649305695337933892011-11-07T17:35:28.014-08:002011-11-07T17:35:28.014-08:00What a wonderful story you've told about an un...What a wonderful story you've told about an unlikely but also not uncommon friendship between two distinctly different pets. I felt sorry for Kochise getting his nose pricked by needle sharp claws and remaining so patient throughout every kittenish torture session. You described the scene so well I could see it happening too. <br /><br />We had a similar pair for many years. Our dog Garth was already about 6 when the kitten Multi was born in our son's closet. Her mother was a stray who disappeared before her three kittens were weaned but happily they were strong enough to be hand fed. Garth was besotted with them and followed them to their every hiding place. The other two were adopted but Multi stayed and the two of them often shared a hearth or a sunny spot.<br /><br />Thanks for reminding me of their beauty.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-23161730543434945052011-11-06T05:12:12.396-08:002011-11-06T05:12:12.396-08:00yes I've had dogs and cats in the household be...yes I've had dogs and cats in the household become firm friends too. your two there sound like a lot of fun.clairesgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17717145894222550969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-8660928521707918372011-11-04T21:13:03.307-07:002011-11-04T21:13:03.307-07:00they have the most amazing colorations! wow!! and ...they have the most amazing colorations! wow!! and they are like a trout? yummy...now you are hunkering down for what??? i think i would just simply lose my frigging mind were i to have that weather to look forward to and for sooooo long...i am native calif. thus snow is not my friend. some love it, i hate it excepting when we have a dusting now and then-then it's a beautiful wonder for the brief time it exists. <br /><br />lovely kitty too. :) blessings to you -- drink lots of cocoa!L'Adelaidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10725322054223364858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-16186981352823495602011-11-03T11:41:23.012-07:002011-11-03T11:41:23.012-07:00Susan - I don't recall, exactly why they GAVE ...Susan - I don't recall, exactly why they GAVE them to the cat, but I have a fuzzy half memory suggesting that the cat only got the leftovers. Dollies are a type of trout, and delicious. I didn't know that about the petticoats.... they're lovely fish. <br /><br />Ron - cat's name was Bagheera, named after the Jungle Book panther. He, like most Siamese, also had a lot to say. Feels like snow today. Bloody cold. It'll be a good week (extending to 4 or 5 months) to stay inside next to the fire, with a book and chocolate.gfidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08452490194253665370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-65284242952615735122011-11-02T20:03:32.022-07:002011-11-02T20:03:32.022-07:00HA!

I had a cat that was ...HA!<br /><br />Gorgeous cat you have!<br /><br />I had a cat that was part Siamese. She was quite the talker!<br /><br />Hope you're enjoying a great week!<br /><br />XRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7058484359631249331.post-86493086203130447952011-11-02T05:04:39.060-07:002011-11-02T05:04:39.060-07:00You got me curious enough about the Dolly Varden I...You got me curious enough about the Dolly Varden I had to look them up. It was interesting to see they were named by a girl with a new style of dress - a bright petticoat with muslin atop. Neat. Why is it, I wonder, they were a gift for the cat? They certainly look to be edible.<br /><br />I shall return.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
