Ace of Spades Pet Thread, October 25

* * *

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Meet The PetMorons

Della's on the chair - somehow Sammy didn't notice her, so there was no confrontation.
Sammy's the stray we've been feeding; so far he's not allowed inside. We're making a winter shelter for him on the back porch.
Two other strays are attempting to invade our Circle of Trust - another black cat, and a mostly white tailless calico that I call Bunnycat. Della would have a breakdown - Sammy is enough for Della and Purry to deal with!
Miley

Beautiful cats! Perfect photo for today.

Don't remember whose cute pup this is, but I got to cuddle with them at the Texas MoMe! ♥️♥️♥️. It is fine to show my face in the picture on the blog.

The other three are around here somewhere...

6 Beautiful black cats.

The dog Ralphy rolled off the bed yesterday morning. I thought he broke his hip. I gave him a pain pill and Ralphy's limp cleared by nightfall.

I gave him a pain pill today but he seems fine. At some point there are tough choices but ha manages the house fine and the vet feels he is full of life. Which he is.

The pain pills are for his bad days which are still vastly outnumbered by his good days.

Still.

14 Afternoon, Pet Folken,

The physical resemblance between cats and owls has been remarked on for centuries. See Lear's "The Owl and the Pussycat." But I don't think anyone has ever linked up owl hardware and cat software before. That's genius.

The one being petted at :15 looks very much like Linda's late Angelique the Psycho Siberian.

Miley, your two black cats are beauties! They look very much like my Stirling.

Perhaps someone needs to trap your neighbor and drop her off in the frozen tundra. No phone. No food. No shelter.

See how she likes it.

19 Damn, those kids are good. I applauded my tablet.
We've been dogless for years, but we do dog sit for the kids occasionally. He's not bad, but he's still young enough that he's "throw the ball, chase me, play tug, pet me, pet me, ima climb on your lap, c'mon, c'mon" all the time.
It's tiring.

20 Gotta take the hell-hound in next week for his annual vet visit. The poor ladies who have to put the IV in his leg and knock him out while I restrain him from attacking them are probably losing sleep already.

Posted by: PabloD at October 25, 2025 04:01 PM (j5I5n)

21 My two furry thugs: Stirling the great black is curled in his usual spot on the living room floor, at the far end of the couch and nearest the door. Baby Dagny is curled on the bed. I found them both napping with me when I woke, and she simply relocated but stayed.

At Petco this morning, there were three young shorthair cats for adoption: Jasmine, a black-and-white; Sage, a vigorously playful calico; and Sadie, a brown tabby with a good deal of white. They all seemed about the same age, as if they might have come from the same litter. Sage is clearly going to be two handfuls: As I drew a finger across the cage plexiglas, she leaped at my hand as if it were prey. There's good reason why they tell you not to use any part of your body as a toy for a cat.

As a boy, not knowing that advice, I used my hand as a toy for our kitten Rusty. Fortunately he liked other toys even more. When he grew up, he was smart and good-natured, and if you told him "No claws!", he'd actually hold back when he played with you. Iive been very careful since then to follow that advice, though.

22 Chihuahuas are funny. Some are skittish and others are friendly.

My DiL's was a rescue from the streets of Tijuana. Poor little thing is frightened of his own shadow. My son's had a better upbringing and is much more friendly.

Long ago, when Arizona the part-Coon cat (who hated strangers) was in his prime, I dropped him off one day at the vet for a checkup and flea treatment. They called me at midday. "He's charging the cage door. Do we have your permission to sedate him?"

To their credit, they never asked me not to bring him back.

Superstition. And it is hard to make out their facial features, so our minds fill in the void with all sorts of evil imagery. (Linda has located a Reddit thread where people post pics of their own beloved black cats, and call them "voids.")

In my experience, black cats are the most easygoing and adaptable, and possibly even the smartest.

Luckily Marie-Antoinette the smart black cat was not like that after her happy walks on her lead and harness. But if you brought out the harness again the next day or so, she'd run to the door crying. "Let's GO!"

30 Wolfus - my doggo (130 lb GSD) gets a fist-full of sedative pills 2 hours before the visit. They usually have zero discernable effect. Then I muzzle him and hold him in place while they poke his leg. The final step is they hit him with a big syringe of propophyl (sp?) And he finally goes nite-nite. They do all of his shots, tests, cleaning, etc while he's out. When I drop him off or retrieve him, there are no other animals loose in the office. He's quite the terror when he doesn't feel comfortable.

One of those times in life when you are glad to pay the surcharge.

Amazingly, Stirling and Dagny are fine with going in to their carriers, and while they don't care for the car ride, they're well-behaved with the doctors. Most of my cats, in fact, have been on their best behavior at the cat hospital. It was with me at home, getting them into the carriers, that the battles raged.

People have complained.

At this point, I think only Starry and Snowflake are left and they've been trapped before.

38 With the neighbor here, I would have taken a can of wasp spray, the kind with a 30' range and sprayed in the alley behind their place. The smell would discourage most cats from going up to be trapped. They were dumping the cats in smaller towns 15-20 miles away.

Posted by: Notsothoreau at October 25, 2025 04:26 PM (kUxzU)

39 Black cats: My mother had a black with tiny hairs of white on his chest named "Sparky," after her brother's boyhood nickname. In one apartment she lived in before she met my father, she would loan the cat out to the photographer upstairs for mice eradication. In return the photographer took a studio portrait of Sparky, sepia-toned. Darned if he didn't look as if he were posing for a magazine cover. I know, because Mom kept the framed portrait on a shelf in the living room for the rest of her life.

That portrait is among the many things at her place I wish now I'd kept after she passed. (Others included a blond chairside table, and the stuffed Mattel Cecil the Seasick Sea Serpent I got for Christmas when I was nine.)

So she was nearly forty when she played Ruth Martin? Amazing. She still looked fantastic when she guested on a Man From U.N.C.L.E. in '64, and whenever I saw her in anything in succeeding years.

I had to put him in a kennel (he's a big German Shepherd) when I had major back surgery four weeks ago. I still won't be able to care for him for a while, but I know that he's being well taken care of there and I'm looking forward to having him home again.

She'd have been about twenty-one then, in 1946, I think.

She was the third to play the mother in a Lassie family on TV. Her predecessor, Jan Clayton, was mom to "Jeff," Tommy Rettig (who later went into computers and was instrumental in the creation of DBase III). Anybody remember Jan's predecessor? She became famous later in the '70s.

45 Come to think of it, I believe June was the last Mom to a Lassie family. After Timmy and the Martins, they retooled the show to have the collie living with a forest ranger, a bachelor played by Robert Bray.

48 That Chihuahua pup was the sweetest! She was friendly with all of the Morons at the MoMe.

I wish I could remember her name - and her owner's name - but if I haven't personally had a conversation with a Moron at at least 2 (sometimes 3) MoMes (and seen a nametag), I am hopeless putting a face with a name 🙄🙄🙄 (Mind you, I recognize both the face and the name separately, but that does me no good when face to face with said Moron...)

Not offended being compared to a young Janis Joplin, but I can't see it. Then again, I AM wearing a "Cranial prosthesis" (aka, a wig), and I only wear the hat when I am wearing the hair, so I have NO idea who I resemble at those times 🤣🤣🤣

Best of Breed for The Big Dummy at today's Travis County KC show. Not a huge win, but good for three Grand Champion points, putting him over the 400 he needs to become Gold level. He may now be styled GCHG Envious As We Fall.

63 Sammy watches Della in the dining room, through the sliding glass doors. I feel sad, not being able to let him in. We're arranging cozy shelter for him, meanwhile. He's stuck his head inside the actual styrofoam box (from a meat shipment), which has a kind of foam sherpa-lined cube inside it. Very cozy. I haven't seen him go inside yet; I sure hope he does. It'll provide shelter from wind and will even have windows. I'll send in a photo.

74 It isn’t a joke.

If you don’t care about having your picture on the internet, associated with AoS, fine. More power to you.

Some folks would lose their jobs and their safety. Are we going to have to tell people no photos allowed? Do we need to remind you to be respectful of others’ privacy?

77 Nurse, I was laughing at the face was Weird Al - I would never knowingly put anyone in danger. I have sent a cropped version of the picture to KT - the only face that shows now is mine (and the pup's).

Please accept my sincerest apologies for my unforgivable oversight. Won't happen again.

78 I've always had black cats.- Midnight, Jamie and Noel. Midnight was a stray we took in when I was in grade school, she birthed Jamie, who lived to 20 (he was with me from grade school to college and on my own), and then Noel was a stray kitten who almost made it to 19 years old.

79 Sometimes I really miss the West Valley Bird Society. Good speakers, great raffles, seeing other parrots. It was barely hanging on when covid bullshit kilt it.

80 I grew up in Sleepy Hollow, NY (the REAL Sleepy Hollow) and my HS was Sleepy Hollow High. Mascot? The Headless Horseman of course! So, I doubly liked the little snippet of my buddy the Hessian!

81 Keep trying to get a picture of our new dog that an old lady had to surrender due to new living quarters. But the velocirapor, disguised as a German Shepherd, keeps photo bombing my pictures.

82 I was hoping the dog would dance with the girl.

***
Midnight was my cat Wolf's name when he lived with his previous "family" -- the people who left him behind when they got evicted, without even trying to find him a home. He didn't seem attached to the old name and swiftly learned to respond to "Wolf."

84 And just like that, we see why it’s important to guard privacy like an absolute maniac. We aren’t alone on the blog.

86 Teresa, your revised photo went to Misanthropic Humanitarian. He hasn't forwarded it yet. You can send it to the gardening thread address or to the address at the bottom of this thread.

89 Ugh.

You’re spot on, Piper.

90 I cropped the photo you sent earlier. Will it work?

Qdp asked if the list of momee attendees would be available.

Why he wants it I can only imagine. He was told no. He knows the rules here.

Be very careful here.

bear,

Right. There is no good reason anyone would want the list.

94 The one I cropped has a little bigger smiles, but no other faces. If you want more elbow, I'll put in the other one after I get hubby back from the hospital.

Dogs miss him.

Hope Hubby is doing OK -
