How did you choose? Looks? Description of personality?

[ottawaoperadiva]

How did you choose? Looks? Description of personality?

We haven’t chosen yet. We will probably wait until about 6 weeks, until they develop a personality. We will go by looks, personality, and whose eyes tear the least. We will also rely on the breeder’s thoughts, since she will be with them full time.

[Aubergine]

Oh, I thought you’d already chosen the second one, bottom 2 photos.

[paryzer (Eli Paryzer)]

No. Not yet. We get first pick of the two boys. They are only 3 weeks old, so it’s a little too soon. They are supposed to start some soft solid foods tomorrow.

Do anyone else’s cats insist on watching you while you clean out their litterbox?

Mine attacks me. I have to lock him in another room. He sent me to the ER once with a deep bite to the forearm that swelled up like something out of Alien.

[StephanieL]

Yes, and then they use them immediately afterward.

Regarding nail clipping, Roxy will consent to let spouse cut her nails, but Henrietta absolutely will not. We’ve got plenty of scratching posts and pads around for her to use, though sometimes she’ll attack the living room rug for fun.

[Aubergine]

My Abyssinians refused to let me clip their nails, weighed
8 lbs but had strength of 1,000 Tasmanian Devils. Cost me $12 per cat then, I’d hate to spend $50 per month on two cats now.

My Tonkinese allows if someone is holding her for me.

Oh be still my heart!

Ungrateful b’stard!

These two just like to watch. Pervs.

I bought Ziggy a stuffed snake dog toy. It’s bigger than he is. I shouldn’t have worried - he picked it up and ran and jumped right up onto the sofa with it. He likes to carry big things around, go figure.

Anger issues. It doesn’t stop there. He’s lucky he’s so attractive.

[Meekah]

Don’t they all?

[linguafood (Natascha)]

Jake doing his best impression of Rhianna.

[linguafood (Natascha)]

Well, some of them apparently bite. Glad mine do not.
