Pictures of pets

[Olga4real]

I love thread "Pictures taken by you" started by tenderness and inspired by it I decided to start a new topic and would like to invite everybody who likes animals and takes pictures of their own pets or of any kinds of animals they've met.

[Olga4real]

Waiting for new posts I put a picture taken in January in an animal shelter.
I have a good news each of this nice puppies has a new owner now. Although there are others waiting for the great change...

Until then I post some pictures of a cat I met when I spent 3 days in Malta.

I arrived there on 13th Friday and found a black cat on the balcony.

Later we became friends and I let him into my room and he occupied my bed...

On the last day he came into my room and played with my bag

I will never forget the way he looked at me when I left...

Olga,

I hope those dogs find a good home it is always a shame when they have to be kept in cages. The black cat is amazing, I don't think I have seen one so dark as that before, I think Sooty would be a good name for for him. I notice that you were there on Friday 13th which is supposed to be an unlucky day here in the UK. However, we also have a saying that a black cat is lucky. So I guess he was sent there to protect you from misfortune. They are very good photos, are you using a digital camera?

[Olga4real]

Brian,
I believe that for those dogs it's better to be in cages than to be put to sleep. They have food, shelter and they are walked regularly. Eventually each of them will find a good owner. Most people want young dogs, but it's so touching when somebody adopt an old four-legged friend.

CATS! It's a different story, I love them!

I don't know what was the name of this black gentleman but he obviously was kept well, just look at his fur and shape! Actually when he showed up on Friday 13th I had butterflies in my stomach.
The number 13 'devil's dozen' is believed to be unlucky in most Christian countries, maybe due to number of guest at Last Supper. (I made a real quick research on the net and found out that even ancient Greeks were familiar with the fear of this number and called it triskaidekaphobia).

What's for my camera it's a digital camera PENTAX. I wish I had a professional one but this will do too.

Olga,

I know that the dogs are well cared for but it is always nice to know that they have found a good home where they can roam free. Yes, I can see that Sooty was well cared for, it must have been difficult to say goodbye to him. Thanks for the information on the camera as I am thinking of buying one and photographic examples are a good indication of a camera's ability.
Incidentally, your pictures of lake Balaton remind me of when I would often buy a wine from the region, some years ago, called Balatoni.

[qimissung]

The cat is adorable, an overused word in my lexicon, I know. He reminds me of my cat, puck, also black, although he's getting on a bit in years.

Brian,
have you ever been to Hungary?
Buying camera is a big deal because only using it you decide if it is what you really wanted. I had to replace a 1GB memory card in my camera for 2GB so now I don't have memory issues taking pictures.

[Olga4real]

I spent only 3 days in Malta and took over 30 pictures of cats.
Here are some of them:

Is your cat getting fat because you overfeed him? I ask the question because I know how persausive they can be in begging for more food.
I have a lot of trouble refusing those beseeching looks fom my cat.

Brian I have three cats of different ages (10, 6, and 1,6 y.o.) they all get the same quantity and quality of food.
The youngest one eats the most, although he is not fat at all. The oldest one eats the least but he is the fattest one. It's all about his age.

[Olga4real]

This is the way my cat Panteleimon drinks. Do other cats drink this way?

Gorgeous cat, how do you keep her away from the parrot?

Thanks Brian! Well, when we got the parrot they (we had two cats then) were intrigued, but obviously realised that he was different from all the other birdies outside...seeing as he got prime spots in the lounge and on the 'stoep' (veranda I guess) and he got loads of attention. He also screeched a lot when he was a baby which put them off. Occasionally they would venture coming closer to sniff him, or they would walk past the cage (over the armrest next to it), but he is totally fascinated by them, so every time they come close he wants to play and then plunges forward only to get mouthfulls of their fur or tails...something they don't appreciate :lol: So they stay away from him since they assosciate him with pain :D

There are neibourhood cats who stalk him every now and then, but when they come close he calls one of us and makes a lot of noise (a specific one, so we now he is freaking out about something). There are hawks and an eagle as well...so we have to always keep an eye, and ear, out...and when we are out we put him in his cage in the lounge.

Yes, that large beak is a pretty good way of keeping predatory felines at bay. I was watching some people feeding some gulls down on the coast recently and it occurred to me that they could seriously damage humans, were they to attack in force to get hold of the food, because they are very big birds with long powerful beaks. Similarly, if pigeons were to attack cats in sufficient numbers, they would soon have them on the run.

I studied in Cape Town, so there were gulls everywhere, and I saw first hand how dangerous a tame gull can be. They are okay if wild, because you can scare them away. Once tame they are a nuisance.

Now imagine if you were a cat and you knew that all the pigeons would attack you if you moved in their direction. As I said, that would keep the peace in many an open city area. I don't like pigeons but I wouldn't let my cat kill them.

There are many cats and pigeons in Kyrenia and I noticed that these creatures divided the area of the local harbour, of course cats occupied the territory closer to restaurants and fisher-boats where they are more likely to get some food, while pigeons can be found on promenade.

Yes she is beautiful, when I look at her I am reminded of Theophile Gautier's words about his own cat "Who can believe that there is no soul behind those luminous eyes".
I have always used the same vet since I bought her and she has a steroid injection each year to stop her scratching her face and also an anti-feline enteritis injection, so she has to go twice a year. She hates going but she is beginning to get used to it now.

We visit our vet only if we have health issues (of course I mean my pets :-).
My cats live inside of my flat on the second floor, they don't go out so it is not necessary to vaccinate them at all. When I adopted Panteleimon, as you may know, he was a week old and very sick. We went to the vet pretty often that time. The doctor wasn't sure that time that Pantjusha (his nickname) would survive at all. These days he has been suffering only from heat, so I shower him from time to time.

That's an amazing picture of a lizard. I am surprised it entered a building as I recall seeing them in Italy and they quickly disappeared when approached.
They are probably the fastest moving creatures in the world as they literally disappear in a fraction of a second when they are disturbed.

My cat loves to be outside in the summer but spends most of the day inside during the winter. When she isn't sleeping, she likes to explore the immediate neighbourhood.

It was just a good luck. During the lunch time my colleague asked me if I wanted to see a lizard. Sure I wanted, I ran to my office to pick my camera and then back to the animal.

Yes you are right, but for some reason I always think of lizards belonging in tropical or sub-tropical lands such as those around the Mediterranean.I was amazed when years ago a friend and I were driving from Mainz to Frankfurt and we stopped at a lay by on the autobahn to stretch our legs and I saw a lizard in the grass. I have travelled widely in Germany, particularly in the south, and I never saw one again.
I suppose that you came from the Black Sea area of Russia.

'They are also intelligent cats! These are the cats that learn to open doors and sense the mood of their owners. They normally get along well with other pets and children and their undemanding nature fits well in many modern homes. They are low maintenance from a grooming standpoint but often enjoy being brushed because it means being with their owner. They are quite willing to entertain themselves also!'

He came to my friend`s place - where I am staying now - this morning, as he usually does. I tend to think that it`s a boy, because of his colour and his habit to conrol his territory every morning. He obviously lives somewhere in the neighbourhood. He didn`t appear too friendly, he was rather distant, I was so excited to take some pictures and make friends with him. That`s why some of pictures are not clear. I understand that it`s not easy to trust people especially if you a cat and have to cross the yards of foreign people. Not everybody likes cats, so you must be cautious.

Yes. He was quite friendly - more socially inclined than the cat we had since kittenhood, actually. Would play with the dogs after a couple weeks (originally he hated them) and ended up sleeping in the bed of who ever had their door open.


I know that loosing a four-legged friend is almost as painful as loosing a human friend. I hope you get over.

Yea, it was one of the few times I cried. I'm over it, sort of. I still miss him and all - he was born three months before me, and was my best friend until I was like ten - but he was in pain, had cancer, so I had a way to reason with myself regarding his death.

A few temporary pets. A family of Raccoons took up residence in the woods by our creek. My son had lured them in with dog food and bits of scrap food. They have since moved on.

All the pictures touch my heart, but I think I have a soft spot for the raccoon, Gilliatt. :) I thought maybe you took that picture.

Millie continues to charm, BrianBean; Azazael, the puppy-what can I say? What a beauty.

Olga, I enjoyed the Purina All-Stars clips. It would be hard to claim a favorite there. Your little neighbor cat, so dignified and wary. Your heart goes out to them. Cats are often mistreated, far more so than dogs.

Claes, I think you've posted pics of that little guy before-what a huggable, loveable little hunk of fur he is.

Yes, a similar thing happened when the American grey squirrel was introduced into Europe where it has virtually wiped out the native red. In fact, the only place that I have seen red squirrels is in the Zentral Friedhof in Vienna. However, whatever their disagreeable habits may be, raccoons certainly look very cute.

[Gilliatt Gurgle]

nuhuh. Those guys are nasty.

Gilliatt, how close did you get to those guys?

My son and I were about one and a half to two meters away. Raccoons have periodically passed through our creek for many years along with opossums, coyote's, snakes,...etc. In this case we had four young ones hanging around for about three weeks. My son began feeding them cherries and dog food before I came home from my business trip to snap the shots you see.


...Racoons are smart, and would be quite capable of causing all sorts of problems if they got loose over here.
/Claes

Yes they are! When I was younger, I would roll acorns in mud and toss them to the Raccoons. The Raccoons would take the dirty acorns over to the dog water bowl and wash them off before eating.


Wonderful pictures Gilliatt, I wish we had raccoons in England.

Shame on me - I read slowly first reason is that the book is in Hungarian, which is not my native language, on the other hand I have a very few time for reading.

Waiting for more pictures of your Milly and the four legged neighbour :-)

Most pictures on the site use photobucket, flikr, imageshack etc as the medium to transmit pictures. I used to use photobucket until they altered the format in a way that doesn't allow me use it so I now use Imageshack which is much simpler to use. Just google Imageshack and click onto the first item.
Then go through the boring sign in/password bit before clicking on Media Upload, Browse (to select picture ), Upload now. When it has uploaded, click on My Pictures and then select the top one of the 5 buttons at the side of the picture. Then highlight the top item in the box that appears, right click and select copy from drop down menu. Call up the pets photo thread and insert the copy into the selected quote box with any message required.

No need to worry! The epicentre was far from my town - more than 100km - and it wasn't a strong earthquake only 4,7. I felt my sofa shaking, I just didn't know why, when I read news on internet I learned that it was an earthquake.
Maybe my cats didn't indicate or sense it because it wasn't a big deal.

Edit: Power is out in many places in Japan including where Maru resides, but they are doing fine.

Updates from ARK, an animal rescue group in Japan.

The cat island also named Tashirojima is near Sendai – [edit] we just received updates regarding the island. We are praying that all the cats knew it ahead of time and made it to safe places.

This is the downside to owning a cat. Milly was given a good talking to and went without food for a day as a result. She knew why I was angry because when I pointed to the bird she ran away. Luckily, today I was working in the garden and there was another robin chirping in the bird bath. The problem occurs with robins because for some reason they wont take food from the bird feeders but feed at ground level on crumbs that fall when other birds are eating. I shall be on the lookout when the cat is outside and she knows what to expect if I catch her at it again.

Emil,
It's sad that cats kill birds but it's natural. Every spring millions of birds come to this world and if Milly following her instincts kills one or two nothing happens. It would be much worse if birds killed cats.

The rabbit is Hazel, she is a mix between a standard rex and a Dutch lop. She was a rescue.

The cat is Casey, and he is a red tabby oriental short-hair. I got him through a breeder at work.

The dog was named Xena, but she died recently from complications due to cancer. The rat was another rescue, she was named Squiggle (she came with the name), but she had persistent pneumonia and eventually succumbed to it. I don't keep rats anymore because they are so short lived that it is a little difficult.

Oh she is gorgeous!!!!

[kiki1982]

Haha, I'll tell our Prunelle. Her mother Emma will be envious and so will her uncle Baldrick, both our other cats.

Prunelle's the only of our cats who fancies herself a bird, though...

She looked at the bread the other day and tried it too, sitting on the roof of that bird house...

And before you ask, Prunelle was called after the Belgian alcohol (a little like Amaretto, but of plums, therefore Prunelle), Emma just like that because we liked it and Baldrick after the comedy character. :D He couldn't jump you see, and always had to scramble up the window sill with his back paws when he was still small. Years later we discovered he had a problem with his hip when he was born, so couldn't put a lot of strength on one. It seems to have been solved now, though.

Actually our cats are part of a dynasty which is always called after alcohol. There was a Batida, a Pernot, a Smirnoff, there is another Prunelle we gave away and a Chiraz (after the grape), both chilren from our Emma.

And then, there is a daughter of our Emma and sister of our Prunelle, who is called... Gattovenaqui... You see, we had called her Edna after the Blackadder joke ('the other one') because she had to stay slightly longer than the rest before she could go to Spanish friends of ours. As she and our Prunelle were part of the same nest, they both did the same mischief and had to be somewhat contained... Prunelle we chose because, even so small, she used to come and sit with us when we were eating on my husband's knee. It was like she insisteed 'I want to be part of you guys!' So we used to call the other little cat 'the other one' but that really doesn't shout well if they are eating the plants... So I called her Edna for ease after Blackadder. And then, the other family decided they were going to think of a name. Nefertiti was in the running (nice!), but the cat started to answer to what they called at first in Spanish if they wanted her to come: 'Cat, come here.' And now she answers to the Spanish for 'cat, come here'. 'Cat' for short. :lol:

@Dansbird:
That's a very cute Jack Russel, by the way (it is one isn't it?)

Kiki I think that all your cats are gorgeous, actually all cats are, ancient Egyptians knew something. It's funny to choose names for pets, it took a couple of moths to find a name for my cat Panteleimonas, also it wasn't easy to find out the name for my youngest cat Boris and the oldest one Jacob.
What's for alcohol, one of my daughter's cats is called Jim-Beam.
Isn't cat in Spanish gata or gato?
Thank you for introducing your cat's dynasty, can't wait for you to post some pictures of them.

Pip, your animals are b-e-u-t-i-ful! I know what you mean about rats (Squiggle was so cute, and I love his name); our hamster chapter is one we don't revisit in our memories too often, it's such a desperately sad time of death, death and more death.

Idril, your dogs look very well fed, I mean loved. I personally don't want to sleep with a dog; I don't know why, I sleep with cats, same difference. They are smaller, however. But that picture of your son and dogs is definitely a keeper, one worthy of being framed and on the wall. That depicts a house one would want to live in.

Your cats are beautiful, Kiki, and I love their names. You guys are quite clever, and having fun with it, I see. I adore naming animals. Pip, we had a cat named K.C. when I was growing up, a siamese. Any one care to guess what that stood for? :D

I love my kitty :)

I miss her! I wish I could've brought her with me to college :(

Looks like Daisy's got the remote all to herself :)

Kittens need a college education, too! She is adorable!!!

Yes, Smeagol especially was...loved. :lol: He was constantly stealing food and the boys were never good about keeping it where he couldn't get at it. Smeagol may have been a big dog but he was surprisingly agile when it came to food. Dobby wasn't as determined or skilled but he certainly enjoyed the fruits of Smeagol's labor. He's dropped a few pounds since Smeagol died.

I don't like sleeping with dogs either. They take up way too much space. I'm more of a cat person myself but the boys wanted dogs.

What a cutie!

[MystyrMystyry]

Not really a pet (she can catch her own insects all by herself) - but another pod!

Though I feed her scraps, I don't know if she appreciates them (at least she never complains or turns her nose up, and always eats everything). Here she is sunning herself in the drain, Dragon:

@qimissung: yeah, thanks (as if she was thanks to me somehow) : )

faithosaurus, your kitty should give yoga lessons, she is so relaxed and flexible.

ogrody, Gabi is cute and kissable.

MystyrMystyry, is it tegu lizard? She makes me smile and relax.

Here is something I would like to share with you: the picture was taken yesterday: sweet family.

Interesting photos Olga4real - split seconds apart, but what's that thing in the first? It looks like a cable or something - and where did it go?

I think Dragon may have a new boyfriend. Here he is in the penthouse

It's a chain, she was tied up. It's sad but it is a habit in that area, you can see many tied up horses in the fields.

Your pets are nice, is it possible that in a couple of weeks Dragon becomes a mother?

[MystyrMystyry]

A chain! Which I now see in the second photo - is it to prevent rustling or running? Probably both - that's sad.

Baby lizards could be cool - maybe I'll sell them as minimum maintenance companions? Lonely? Lazy? Too many insects bothering you? Too many scraps? You need one of these beauties!

You might give them to your friends as a gift.

[MystyrMystyry]

I might sell them to my friends - most of whom fit the category I described ;)

Ok, if you sell your lizards at least you get some money for food for Dragon.

There is no money in the whole world I would sell these guys for:

Not a picture, but a pedantic story.

Whenever we have small kittens, our 8-year-old Baldrick likes to spend his time outside, even in -10°C, growls at them and hisses at them. out. He sits there, ready to run, when they are running about. Probably because he is afraid, but there you go.

This always reminds me of Rochester's speech, 'Old bachelor as I am, I am not fond of the prattle of children.'

Fits so well :lol:

There is some difference between cats and humans, particularly is that cats never lose their readiness for playing, even when they're old, although 8 year-old is not THAT old.

[Olga4real]

We're playing....
