Cats make me happy

So fluffy!
I want to pet him!

Excellent idea!

"I put down my book, The Meaning of Zen, and see the cat smiling into her fur as she delicately combs it with her rough pink tongue. 'Cat, I would lend you this book to study but it appears you have already read it.' She looks up and gives me her full gaze. 'Don't be ridiculous', she purrs. 'I wrote it.'" -- Dilys Laing, "Miao"

More, please

Long live the puddies!! !

Hear, hear!
Is it illegal to post pictures of Mr. Vivo from Facebook?
If we are not allowed to do that, if you go there (Facebook) and search for Mr. Vivo, he is one of the most beautiful cats I have ever seen.
Seriously.

The older one of the 2 tabby fellows who bring happiness to my house had to put up with some unhappiness today since it was time for his annual checkup and vaccinations.
He got over it and is now curled up in the chair behind this one.

I don't think it would break any rules . I would like to see this kitty, but I don't have Facebook. Please post

Aw what a lovely orange kitty !

Thanks!
As it happens he's right here on the desk with me.
Is quite a story to his life, he is literally rescued roadkill.
An acquaintance found him early one morning at juvenile age injured barely alive in the mud between a rural highway and a mechanic's shop.
Had just enough life to be worth trying to save.
From injuries and his personality we figured he had at some point been dumped, lived on his own for a while, then was hit by a vehicle.
Thought he might have to have left rear leg amputated because of injuries to it and mostly because of lack of nerve control.
With some physical therapy and his own enthusiasm he kept the leg.
We don't know if foot on that leg was misshapen by birth defect or as a result of getting run over.
He is 12 years old now.

Can be a sweetheart or a stinker as the spirit moves him

Was a wonderful "foster daddy" to some orphaned barn kittens about a decade ago.

Aw he sounds like a wonderful companion! And he's got his own train . What a great rescue story . It makes me happy to hear about a kitty that thrived under such difficult circumstances.

We think our 2 year old was also abandoned and/or mistreated. We had to get the shelter to help us catch him as the temperatures were getting well below freezing. He acted like a cat who was familiar with humans, but expected to be hurt by them. The shelter didn't think he'd be able to live with humans because he was too scared, but eventually he came around and now he seeks out attention .

The night we caught him (he had moderate injuries on his neck and leg):
