1. Beautiful!

Cats always look so thoughtful, even though their brains are the size of walnuts...

[Silent Type]

6. Even so, my cat had the answers to big issues.

[Ocelot II]

5. Your beautiful kitty, if I'm not mistaken! She's gorgeous and obviously well-loved.

Her green eyes are astonishing.

[Mousetoescamper]

12. Thanks! Yes, she's Calliope, who's becoming a regular on DU

[Deuxcents]

14. Those eyes...mysterious and mesmerizing. She's a beauty and you got her just right in this photo

[Mousetoescamper]

15. Thanks! She's my favorite photo subject.

16. Calliope was certainly ready for her close-up!

Great shot of a gorgeous kitty.

[Mousetoescamper]

18. Ready, but not Norma Desmond-ready

One of my favorite flicks.

Thanks, brer cat.

[Mousetoescamper]

21. I'd be glad to cross-post there, but...

wouldn't feel comfortable doing so tonight. As you know, happybird had to let go of her beautiful cat today. She's posted a stunning photo of Pooper. When I looked at that photo I was crying. All the grief I felt in the days following the death of my cat Penelope in October of 2022 came back. Reading the posts of people who've recently lost a pet always hits me hard.

I don't want to step on the mourning and condolences in the Pet group tonight by posting a photo of my living cat. Posting in Photography is another matter; I post here almost daily, but seldom post in the Pet forum. Reading the comments here with compliments to Calliope made me feel less sad tonight.

Sorry for turning this into a therapy session, Niyad--and anyone else reading this. I'm honored by your request. Thanks.

33. Tears here as I read your loving and thoughtful post. we who are owned by

the furpeople share with each other in both joys and sorrows, and it is indeed therapy. Of course you still grieve for Penelope, and always will. Huggggggs, and pets for Calliope.

[Mousetoescamper]

34. Thanks.

19. She's a beauty!

[Mousetoescamper]

22. Thanks!

20. I have two cats.

One is part Siamese, and has the wonderful blue eyes of a Siamese. The other is an orange tabby with golden eyes. I don't have pictures to post, but trust me, they are beautiful.

Of course, I'm biased. I am not exaggerating when I say that by the time I was three years old I was bringing home stray cats. My son knows that if he eventually needs to place me in a home, he needs to find one that has resident cats. I can imagine being so senile I don't know him, but I will never be so senile that I won't want to be with cats.

[Mousetoescamper]

24. I can't imagine living without cats in the house.

I'm quite biased about the cats who live with me. They're always the best cats in the universe. Ever.

I'd love to see photos of your cats. To post here you'd have to join a photo hosting site (I use a free site, Imgur), upload your photos there, copy the link and post it here in the subject box. There are instructions here but I'd be glad to help you with the process.

23. Lovely kitty.

[Mousetoescamper]

25. Thanks!

[Rhiannon12866]

26. Awww! Great pic of a beautiful kitty!

And I have one of those, too - except mine is a very friendly green eyed boy.

[Mousetoescamper]

27. Thanks!

I'd love to see a photo of your boy. Others would enjoy that too.

28. Aha!

The ol' "cat and Mousetocamper" thread!



I whisker you many more wonderful captures!

[Mousetoescamper]

29. Haha!

Very punny!
Thanks!

31. Thank you!

Great song! They had another song that made the Top 40 called "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You."

[Diamond_Dog]

32. Yep - remember them well!
