Ace of Spades Pet Thread
Yes, even dogs can be klutzes. That's quite a rescue.
Cats melodramatic? Who knew? H/T Shibumi
Hello again from Bama Bubba’s Cathouse! We’ve been rescuing stray cats (felines, not the band) for nearly 30 years. We currently have 8, most of them have already appeared here on the world famous Pet Thread put on by the most esteemed Misanthropic Humanitarian. We have three left to show off, and without further ado, here they are. First up is Fruit Loops. Yeah, she’s crazy, but danged lovable. She showed up one day along with two feral males. Fruit Loops wasn’t feral, however, just lost or abandoned. She moved in under our deck and within just a couple of days we were able to pick her up, get her in a crate, and in to the vet for a spay and shots. She’s been here 4 years and is still nuts.
Next is Buddy. He was one of the aforementioned feral cats that showed Fruit Loops her new home. Buddy took about a year to convince, but he finally came around and decided to get into the crate. Poor guy has dozens of scars, half an ear, and is the biggest baby of the group. Unfortunately, he’s also Feline Leukemia positive, so he has to live in the basement, away from Fruit Loops and the rest of the gang so he doesn’t spread the virus. He’s not near as grumpy as he looks, either. He’s been with us 3 1/2 years now and helps me play video games in the man cave.
This is Spot, so named because we couldn’t tell him and another black feral apart, so one of them got a dab of white paint on the back of his head one morning at feeding time. The other, sadly, quit showing up not long after. We like to think he found a home. Anyway, Spot moved in just a couple of months ago. Spot is also banished to the basement with Buddy because Spot has Feline Immunodeficiency Virus. This isn’t the same as what Buddy has, but Spot can spread his virus to other cats, too. Spot and Buddy are the Basement Boys and get along quite well, although Buddy does have to guard his food dish from the ravenous Spot. Once we get them fixed and inoculated, they come inside to stay. It’s dangerous outdoors, and for the boys, their lives would be shortened considerably if they had to live outside. Please, if you have a cat, get them vaccinated for FeL and FIV. As always, we enjoy the Saturday Pet Thread and love to see the care that the morons give to their fuzzy friends. Peace out, and WAR EAGLE! Bama Bubba
Thanks for your major contribution Bubba. I'm not sure what's bigger, your heart or your wallet. Those kittehs sure lucked out with you coming into their lives. Good job!
Misanthrope, The blue heeler is Lola. She came to our family after her previous owners weren’t able to deal with her bad behavior (she killed one of their cats). They were expecting a new baby and couldn’t take any risks. We’ve had her since February, 2020 and have solved most of her behavioral issues. It’s not like we’re super trainers, her previous owners were too busy to give her the consistent exercise and training she needed. She just turned 3. The red heeler is Rowan. He’s been on the Pet Thread before. He turns 6 this summer. Strange to think of him as the old man now! This is Jimbro from The Hostages Thanks!There is a reason why Blue Heelers are in the 'Working Group' of the AKC. They are working dogs and need an outlet. Good to hear you saved Lola from a bad fate. Good to see Rowan again. Great pair of dogs. Thank you.
You posted my pic of Copper in the June 13 Pet Thread with this comment: “Handsome dog. It has been awhile since we heard from you. So have you gotten a new pup?” Funny you should ask…Copper’s birthday would have been on June 25, and my wife decided that day that we should start looking for a new pup, especially since we will have time to get her acclimated to us while we remain under Kung Flu house arrest. Prices for Corgi puppies are $2500+, so we quickly ruled that out. She tried the rescue route, but every rescue dog she found on the Internet that we were interested in had already been adopted by the time she contacted them. My wife had been getting depressed with the constant rescue misses, but I told her that Copper was in Heaven making sure we got the very best dog. One rescue wrote back suggesting that we contact the AKC to get names of local breeders that might have a retired show dog or breeding dog available. This was kind of a “forehead slap” moment, as that was how we originally found Copper and we should have thought of that ourselves. She made some phone calls, and amazingly found 2 yr old Samantha that very same day. Sam has now been with us for three weeks and she has quickly become my fairy tale princess. I trusted Copper to take good care of us, and there is no doubt in my mind that he found Sam for us. -FrankCongrats on the new addition to your home. She looks like she could give you a run for the money. Thanks for sharing.
MisHum,You sure it's feeding time and not harvesting time? Neat photos there and thank the deer and Mrs. E for being on the pet thread today.
This is Mrs. E strewing corn at deer lease and Miss. Dear following her. - Eromero
A big thank you to all of you who submit material, comment and lurk. The In-box was a little light this week. If you have something you wish to share, you can reach us here at petmorons at gmail dot com. In the meantime, have a great week!!!

Our Lily, a Pembroke Welsh corgi almost same tri coloration as Copper seen above, is now almost 8.5 months old, and 19 pounds. She was seen here at five months of age.
We hope she tops out at 21 or less.

I think maybe the dog needed a bigger carrier. 
It's good to have dogs who jump right in; I haven't done carriers with dogs, but the cats see the things and immediately run away.

On the honor system, I don't hunt the deer.
Mother-in-law likes watching the deer in the evenings come into the back yard to graze.

Go to a welding supply store. They have welders gloves with x-long cuffs.
That's what we used rehabbing hawks and owls. Way cheaper than falconer's gloves. Just as durable.

Baiting.
Placing food out for them in close proximity to where you are going to hunt them.
Just like how they "chum" the water when fishing for sharks.

It's when you know you're going to hunt a given area for a given animal, so ahead of time you salt it with food they like. That way the game comes to you, instead of you having to trail it when hunting season starts.

None of my feline thugs have been *quite* that bad. Arizona, the late Maine Coon mix, would spread his rear legs as I sent him in head first; he was hoping I would give up. I didn't.
He would always swirl around to bring his big head up to the carrier door as I was fastening it. If he'd been the type to bite, he could have gotten my fingers then. But he didn't. I always figured he was thinking to himself, "All right, you won this time. But next time --!"

It's all illegal here, if it's for hunting reasons. If I have to guess, it's a couple things:
1.) CO hunting is *big* business, and out-of-state tags are a major source of state revenue in their own right;
2.) Deer and elk in the prime hunting locations in the mountains subsist on grasses and shrubs. For them, corn or alfalfa is like a sack of Halloween candy, and they can't resist it. Like moths to a flame.

Mister Kitty passed away about a month ago -- he was a Sylvester-looking cat that was on the thread a year or two ago.
His big claim to badassness was when he and his downstairs owner moved about a mile or so across town, he wandered back, crossing two 4-lane roads in constant thunderstorm weather.
He used to flirt with the sorority girls when they'd walk by -- a true master of his domain.

I mentioned in an earlier post about when taking a flight on Jet Blue a seat mate had here little dog in a carrier under the seat. She opened it up to see if the dog was okay and it popped out and gave everyone in several rows a tongue bath. Then ran up and down the isle until she got it back...Must have been lots of dog lovers as no one complained and the flight attendants didn't say anything. Probably pretty rare.

MY two feline thugs are doing well. Big black long-haired Wolf is now about 11, healthy and with a good appetite, plays like a 14-lb. kitten. Possibly the best overall cat I've ever known.
Chekov D. Siberian is the one on the $$$pecial diet; he's about to turn 13 this month. He still has his little diarrhea on the bathroom floor, but it's minor and much more infrequent, so I guess the food is working.

He still has his little diarrhea on the bathroom floor, but it's minor and much more infrequent, so I guess the food is working. Mainly he has trouble after he snatches a little of the Purina + expensive food mix I give the black one to stretch out the 7.7 lb. bag of the pricey stuff.

Putting salt licks out to attract deer is illegal probably everywhere, but its probably impossible to enforce.

You can get them from Tractor Supply.

They are building a new one near the grocery store I shop at. Several others within easy driving distance. They of course have salt licks, and dairy farmers use them, mostly.

I'm not much of a hunter; Never had the time. But a late friend of mine was. He had property in Georgia and a hunting lease in Illinois. Every spring, he would go to both properties and plant food plots.

Me either. I have no problem killing and cleaning farm animals. And I like to eat wild game. Also, I was pretty much the only kid who didn't hunt where I grew up, so I know how to do it for the most part, and I know where a lot of game is.
I just have a personal aversion to sport-hunting. What I can I say? I have a soft spot for the wild critters. Probably partly a Jewish thing, too. It's frowned upon.

Knew some guys that had shot an illegal Turkey. The way the story went as told to me was.. evidently the Turkey in question had a tracking device on it. They were deer hunting in season, but saw the turkey and shot it out of season.
The wardens set up a checkpoint and caught them with it. Took all their guns and confiscated their truck as well as the legal deer they'd killed. The game warden told one of the guys...yeah, we knew something was up when we clocked the turkey doing 65 mph.
I believe it's about a 10,000 fine plus loss of hunting privileges for a number of years.

Coyotes are legal to hunt at any time in CO (depending on your local regs). No bag limit. Coyotes are filthy, dangerous pests that breed like rabbits. It should be required to kill them on sight.

I've got no new pets, but my neighbor just took in her grand daughter and her 2 cats and they come over and visit now and again.
I guess they are indoor/outdoor cats. Dexter is outdoors only when I can keep an eye on him.
I warned neighbor about the dangers, coyotes, red tail hawks, even. Death from above.

I like cats. I wonder why mine doesn't hunt. The place is loaded with birds and squirrels and probably a lot of other rodents I never see -- lots of bugs, too. He likes to zoom around the yard at night running from one blind to another, up the tree and down, scrunching down and then bursting out and going nowhere, passing over any number of live prey.

Now that is one handsome cat. If you switched his colors so that white was predominant, you'd have my Chekov D. Siberian.
Growing up we always had shorthair cats. My mother thought the longhairs would be troublesome to groom. She was probably thinking of pure Persians. A longhair with a silky coat does not mat very much at all, and the fur sheds in clumps that are easy to scoop up with a brush. The shorthairs shed in individual hairs that are harder to sweep up.

The hunger bit is separate from the urge to catch, kill, and enjoy. It sounds like he is energetic enough. Is it possible he left his mother a bit early, and never learned the fine details of hunting?

Theodore Sturgeon wrote a horrifying little SF/fantasy short story called "Helix the Cat," in which a beloved house cat gains the ability to talk and to manipulate objects with altered, hand-like paws. He immediately reveals himself to be a sociopath and wakes his human, the narrator, by throwing a glass of water in his face.
After I read it I glared at my cat and said, "You stay away from me for a while!"

Dogs have tracking collars and the walkie talkie type things are the tracking devices. Bear hunters use them for their dogs around here during bear season. Bear hunting is usually done at night, so it's not unusual to see a bear dog walking on the side of the road the day after a hunt. They get out of range of their owner.

It's a creepy story that didn't sell in the Forties when Sturgeon wrote it, as it fell too exactly between fantasy and SF. It appeared in the '70s in a memorial collection dedicated to John W. Campbell, the late editor of Astounding. The tale is one of those rare ones you always remember not only reading, but where you were when you finished it and how it affected your thinking.

The collection is Astounding: the John W. Campbell Memorial Anthology, edited by Harry Harrison, copyright 1973. There are lots of other cool stories in it too, stuff by Harrison, Asimov, Poul Anderson, and Clifford Simak.

Thanks, I am hoping for a GI problem, but he just seems off. I took him today, so we could get the ball rolling and not wait for dehydration or signs of pain. And on a Saturday, there's no reason to "wait til tomorrow".

Wolfus, thanks!
Once way back in my college days, when I was working in the duplicating room, I had my break and was bored out of my mind, and had a little extra cash, so I bought one of those classic SF anthology books, barely looking at it.
It turned out to have a lot of good stuff in it, including the original of Arthur C. Clarke's The Sentinel (which led to 2001). Talk about an eye-opener. :-)

If you want him to hang out near you, put some dry cat food out on a regular basis. I served breakfast to three feral/semi-feral cats for years. Funny, they were almost always there at breakfast time.

Thanks. If I knew how old he was I'd probably be less anxious and less inclined toward pessimism. If he's 11, good, but he could be as old as 14. He's a rescue, so you just don't know as much.

We go on bay shore walks and people leave dry food for feral cats. We were walking and saw a guy with a golden lab off leash. I had smelled skunk scent earlier but hadn't spotted it. Came upon the dry cat food and there was the skunk, chowing down. Looked up and here comes the golden lab making a bee line straight for the skunk.
I intercepted the golden lab by the collar before the unpleasantness could begin.
The owner thanked me.

Hellooooo . . . for once on a Saturday I'm awake for the nearly-famous Pet Thread.
All three of our League of Elderly Gentlemen Pets went to the vet and had their general health and medications (!?!) review. Pretty odd with the wuflu restrictions, but youngest kidlet took the day off to bring the doddering crew (including me) to the nice vet people.
Old Dog still is giving them fits because he hates, hates, hates even being there since we are not allowed to stay with him so he of course made a biiiig mess. Oh well, I warned the vet people.
New Old Dog is a total charmer and had everyone in the place cuddling and loving on him and he accepted that as his right and due. Kidlet likes taking him places because people stop to talk about him. Apparently he is "handsome" and a "good-looking dog".
Old Cat is finally eating again after his anger at being stuck in the crate and passed around. My own worry because his fur was not his usual glossy sleek (he's a black cat) has been assuaged because even though he is very thin, he is now glossed up and looooves his $$$$ cat food that kidlet found.
They miss the daily drama of the Visigoth, but are spreading out in other ways -- mostly sitting in a row wondering what the heck I'm doing.

I brought Arizona the red Maine Coon mix once to the vet when he was about 5. They called me to ask if they could sedate him.
"Why?"
"He's charging the cage door."
He mellowed as he got older, but was never a charmer except with me. And he and I would butt heads sometimes.

Nah, the Pet Thread always has the fewest posts I know of here.
I second the idea for you to put out a little dry food for the feral. Linda has a black semi-longhair that has been turning up at her place for a couple of years. Won't come inside, won't let Linda get close, but comes right up to the screen door and meows.
We figure he's male. A female would have been pregnant several times over by now.

Funny part is my little black kitteh looks a lot like Pepe's love interest in those cartoons.

Could be. She's extremely friendly with people, more than a lot of housecats I've encountered.

Oh, she doesn't need feeding. This cat's a tank that has not missed any meals.

Lovin's are free so give her the attention she is apparently demanding. You could gain a friend for life!

I usually do. When she comes around I'll sit and skritch her and pet her until my allergies demand I disengage.

Heh. Really, her meow is the cutest. Demure. Her departed sisters were more like Patty and Selma (I say that jokingly and lovingly; I miss my girls).

My son is looking to get Maine Coons, two of them, because folks who breed them say they do much better with a companion in addition to their human servers. He will name them Hannibal and Scipio Africanus.

Perfect!
There's a tradition among Siberian breeders to give the cats Russian names. That can get old fast. And names like Nastia and Olga are not very attractive.

I've been trying to get a good pic of Scout, but she's a black kitteh with a squashy face, so it's not been easy.
Her official name is Jean Louise.

It's already been said here and it's obvious but bears repeating: Don't put food out at night unless you want to invite other critters.
Raccoons and possums can be annoying, but a worst-case scenario is that they may fight and you don't know what disease they may be carrying.

It really is a wanna be basement. We live on the side of a hill, so two walls are underground. And the boys can birdwatch from their two windows. I put a bird feeder in front of each window. Is that mean to the boys?

FIV isn't casually transmitted among cats. It takes a deep bite from an infected cat to transmit it. Casual contact/grooming/sharing food is totally safe. I have 5 cats, one of whom was born FIV infected. He has been around all the other cats for nine years, with no special precautions, and none of them have been infected.
Learn more at fivcats.com or fivcatrescue.org !
Most cats with FIV will live an absolutely normal life if cared for.

I would like to let all know that the size of your Penis really matters in your relationship or marriage. I got married to my wife about 1 month after we met in a photo studio, we lived happily for the first 3 months of our marriage until my wife and I started having quarrels at home because I couldn't satisfy her in bed with my little penis. Actually my penis was very small, it measured about 4.5 inch long on erection and I am 51 years old. My wife said it was forbidden by the women of this world. My wife started sleeping with other men outside. Sometimes i will return from work without finding my wife at home and whenever i call or ask her where she was, she will always snub at me and sometimes just tell me to go get a larger dick. All this continued for a long time and it hurt me so much that I was at the edge of breaking up on the marriage till when I read about a doctor called DR.Moses Buba. online. I never thought i could smile and be in a happy marriage again if not for the help of DR.Moses Buba. I got the doctors Emails
buba.herbalmiraclemedicine@gmail.com ) on the internet and i emailed him, and he got back to me with some encouraging words, he got me some herbs cream which i use for just 8 days and i began to feel the enlargement of my penis, and without surgery. This went on for a little period of about 10 days and to my surprise my wife keeps screaming that she loves my big dick now. Now my wife no longer cheats on me, and my penis is now about 10.5 inches long on erection and off course very large round. And now my wife uses breasts, hips and bums enlargement. I and my wife are very happy for the help rendered to me by DR.Moses Buba, and I want to say a big thanks to the Doctor for the help. You can contact the Doctor now on his Email buba.herbalmiraclemedicine@gmail.com ) OR WHATSAPP +2349060529305, you can even contact me to know my result or see it with your eye on whats-app or you can call me +886981036185 or
