The New Coffee Room

Happy Birthday Boris!

By the way, that's my dad, Pepper.

He's the one on top of the tower. He's retired now, having done all of his stud-work.

Insulin worked some, not entirely, so trying a higher dosage.

His back legs are still noticeably messed up. ☹️

On the plus side, he seems totally himself again.

The lines on that tablecloth WERE parallel to the edge, by the way.

MIL is 82. She had enough cooked Saturdag to feed a dozen people. And enough left over to feed them again.

It was kind of funny. He was sitting on the bed in the front bedroom, at the foot, and I wanted to read. So, I laid down on the bed, sorta pushed him over with my feet, and he stayed there for about 10 minutes.

Then, he decided he needed some cuddles, so he came up and laid down next to me. Spent about half an hour there, purring away.

Boris is definitely not a "cuddler," yet. In his head, at age 2 ½, he's still a kitten and still has some growing to do.

I'd love to see more of this.

Asshole....

By the way, I built that cabinet.

Wow! That is really good!!

Sid: "So you think you're pretty special with your claws, eh Boris? Take a look at these claws, whydon'cha. Yeah, and I can fly, too. You got nuthin' on me, kitty."

@aqua-s-sister said in Rawr!:

That's the second biggest pussy I've seen today!

Quit hanging out with Jon.

I’ll be on season 2 tomorrow night

@LuFins-Dad said in Time for an update....:

Crap, now I have to go take a Benadryl.

When Mrs. George and I were first married, we had two cats - Sadie and Oscar. They were both domestic shorthairs (DSH). Great cats. After about 6 months of marriage, she started having flare-ups with her asthma. It was so bad that she was giving herself injections of epinephrine to stop the asthmatic attacks.

Ever since that time, she has been, understandably, afraid of cats. We had many pets since then, and all of them were not a problem with her allergies (other than a cockatiel). Our two dogs, (also) Oscar and Oliver were not a problem. Neither was Sidney.

In 2012, D3 had to re-home The Bee. The Bee is a domestic longhair(DLH). We accepted her into our home on the condition that, if Mrs. George had issues with allergies, D3 would have to find somewhere else to home her. Despite the fact that The Bee is a very difficult animal, there have been zero allergy issues. Because of our experience with her, when Oliver the dog died, we agreed to adopt Maggie (another domestic longhair). She's had no allergy problems with Maggie in the house.

So, based on our experience with The Bee and Maggie we felt comfortable getting Boris. Mrs. George is fine with him as well.

All that said, this is one family's experience. In our house, it seems that DLH cats are less allergenic than DSH cats.

I should add that D4 has a DSH, and her presence bothers Mrs. George.

Go figger.

When I saw the top bun in the dining room this AM, I was fully expecting to find all kinds of cat puke somewhere.

Fortunately, there hasn't been any.

Yet.

Three sweet kitties there. 😻

I first noticed there's nothing next to the chest. Boris just jumped up four feet in the air to get there. Yikes!

That picture is from the dining room of our house in 2003. In the condo, it's positioned differently. It's possible to leap up there from the dining room table, but that's a jump too - distance wise, it's about 2 feet, and then up.

@George-K What a great looking cat (and a great looking dad for him!!)

@Aqua-Letifer ouch on the camping equipment!!!!

@jon-nyc said in Hay Brenda! Guess who you share a birthday with!:

Seems like it should be egg laying day but i suspect it’s hatch day.

What's your perspective on abortion for birds? Should it be legal until egg laying day? Or the first three days into brooding? How about eggs that are the result of rape (not uncommon in birds)?
