All barn cats running around, but as a young kid I thought it was great fun. It is cool your older cat and one of the kittens pal around.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-88027600935699733452011-11-24T15:24:59.953-08:002011-11-24T15:24:59.953-08:00I can relate to your cats.

Then we found homes for mom and 4 of her kittens so we were down to 4... Then a neighbor brings us one, and we find another stray in the back yard. So we're up to 6. The original cat and one of the kittens are best buds. Where the big one goes the other one's right behind. He even tries to nurse off the big one. They're all neutered males.Erik Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08051303728879129181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-35509582747694107632011-11-24T06:38:40.131-08:002011-11-24T06:38:40.131-08:00@Geoff - Ahhhhh Simon's Cat.

The cat in his cartoons make me think of Basil when he is pointing at his mouth and meowing for food.

He just ignores us and asks for more tuna. He reminds us of Simon's cat in that regard - always pointing towards his mouth. Heartland is a dangerous place to go and we try to stay away as we are afraid we'll fall in love with one of the critters. Glad I could make your day.<br /><br />@Raftnn - Glad I could make you smile. Animals have a way of doing that I think. I think Moses sounds like Basil. I don't really think Basil would like a friend either. Sure wish I knew what he was thinking. Probably good that I don't. Basil has really come out of his shell since Baxter passed away. <br /><br />Before, if we would try to pet him Baxter always had to be there getting in the way and be the center of attention. Poor Baxter would even follow us around the yard when we were weeding or planting trees. I think Basil likes being king of the house.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-34125310907138600902011-11-21T21:02:54.273-08:002011-11-21T21:02:54.273-08:00Cute story.....brought a smile to my face.

Annie usually initiates the fights which is pretty much every time she and Thomas are in the same room but occasionally, they sit quietly together. They probably get on fine when there are no humans around for them to impress!!!Geoff Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05041523109817248619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-28939953350867695722011-11-21T11:24:53.088-08:002011-11-21T11:24:53.088-08:00Lots of cute pictures.

Wasn't afraid to give him a good swat if he needed it too.<br /><br />@ Sonja - Households are always better with kitties. It is hard in an apartment though. We've been there. One of our cats years ago did not like an apartment we moved into. He preferred to pitch himself off a second story balcony more than once. We always found him but gave him to family after the second or third time. There was something about the apartment he just didn't like.<br /><br />@Geoff - Ahhh Annie. It is funny she doesn't acknowledge Thomas. Do they always fight when together or do you sometimes catch them getting along?<br /><br />@LadyR - Good idea doing things in two's or three's. We figure after Basil passes we'll be petless for a while but when we do decide to get more kitties we'll get at least 2 the same age. Maybe litter mates. Baxter was taken to the shelter with a brother and someone adopted the brother and not him. We would have taken them both, sigh.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-88616315770329975772011-11-21T03:34:14.832-08:002011-11-21T03:34:14.832-08:00It seems as though Baxter was a wonderful big brot...It seems as though Baxter was a wonderful big brother for Basil, even in spite of himself. We always do things in twos (or three). That's why we have a house full. Right now, the count is three cats and two dogs. Since hubby and I both work, we always felt like "kids" need playmates. They keep each other entertained during the day while we're gone.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing.Lady R (Di)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08253802136989789026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-31580390315577946882011-11-20T20:29:06.823-08:002011-11-20T20:29:06.823-08:00+1 Awww......
