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

&&&

&&&

Hi, KT. Few pics of our new pup,Heidi, and her brother, Harley. My best friend went to get a Shih Tzu back in April and called me to take the sibling. I caved. First pic is Heidi at 8 weeks. Second pic is of the pair together. Last two pics were a week ago. Choose which pics you'd like to share. Love the Pet Thread.

So hard to decide! What cuties!

* * *

Some of my cats have had an affinity for music. I compose little songs for each of them for laptimes; seems to make them purr more. Flash here, rescued as a 7-year-old feral (he actually let himself in the house one day,) was quarantined for a month on my enclosed front porch while the Frontline killed all his fleas. Then he was isolated in my bedroom awhile. One of the first things he did there was creep over and lay his head on the laptop on the floor playing classical. Here he is now, six years later, still listening, this time to Lubov Timofeyeva playing Haydn.
Thanks!

Bad Bunny photoshoot
Frankly, I tried to discourage her from hanging around, since Sammy is already disrupting the cat crew here. But Publius can't bear to see a cat begging for food, so here we are with another feline satellite. That's a little solar fountain, floating in the water.
We'll never know what happened to her tail - she's not talking.

10 Afternoon again, Pet Folken! A fine group of Moron Pets, rescue (?) dogs, and Adjacents today. MIley, your Bad Bunny, and GP, your Flash, are both very handsome felines.

My big black Stirling tried (though I'm only guessing he had a purpose and not just energy to burn) to wake me up at 2:30 am today -- jumping around the bed, including landing on me more than once. I wouldn't let him win, though, and managed to doze for another couple of hours. Little Dagny has returned to one of her kittenhood sleeping spots, on a folded comforter atop the back of the couch. So, technically, she's with me as I write this.

15 Yesterday we held the Battle of Bravecto: a three-month topical flea treatment for each cat. Dagny took it in stride and trotted off afterward. Stirling, like his fellow black cat Wolf before him, finds it terribly objectionable. He has to be held strongly while we put the stuff on the base of his skull, parting the fur to let the juice get to the skin. Then he bolts away and races around as if ants are chewing on him. (Maybe the fleas jump and bite as they die?)

We gave them each a treat afterward. Dagny took hers without ceremony. Stirling had to be coaxed -- and believe me, when it comes to food and especially treats, normally he'll go for them if he has to knock you down to get to the bowl.

By evening he was sitting with us again, so I suppose the sensations were not too bad.

Raining cats and dogs and little fishes here in Southern California too. All night last night and forecast into tomorrow with more to come during the week.

Gavin says it's due to global warming just like the droughts and last year's fires. Bureaucratic and political incompetence and stupidity and corruption had nothing to do with it.

21 we had a kitten wander in last weekend, she had a collar and a bell and was very hungry. She is an orange and brown tabby marked calico. She had been hanging around for a day in the shrubs and on the front yard, and wandered in the kitchen when I had the door open.

no chip, so I am resorting to putting up flyers. From her teeth I think she is about 5 mo old, and she is about the sweetest cat I have ever met.
She has really calmed our other kitten, Sejong, down, and I have been giving them the run of the yard when I am out in it. The old lady-cats are aghast at all this kitten energy boiling around the house, and our big tom occasionally wanders up to both of them to inspect them. "Button the pocket button. Carry on"

I named her Becca because it is short for Rebecca, and because in Spanish Beca means "loan" or "grant" and I am going to have to give her up if I get a response on the flyers.

Posted by: Kindltot at November 15, 2025 04:09 PM (rbvCR)

22 Pretty convinced Sakura the night time yard cat is a Norwegian Forest Cat. All the physical traits check out. They apparently come in calico flavor.

In other stray cat news, some teenage punks or possible vagrants ripped a hole open in the side of her abandoned car wash home. I bought some plywood and patched it for her.

There's a very shy cat that hangs out on the neighbors porch when I feed Sakura. It's pretty dark but he looks like a brown tabby with a white nose. Working out what to call him. I tried Piccolo, but Monroe is what comes to mind when I look at him.

23 We had a feral cat who lost part of a tail but we knew why. Got it caught in a fence. A neighbor and I had to wrestle he out of it. This was the neighbor on whose patio she gave birth to kittens. She didn't bring them to our house until they were able to eat kittie food and none of them ever became fully human adapted. We still have one. He climbs our legs.

She also had an eye shot out by a different neighbor. She should have stayed in our yard.

24 Shortly taking the dogs to get the mail and then to the Little Susitna River landing to run around like idiots in the snow. It is up to 12 degrees and going a few higher, so they will love it. I might not. But it is beautiful out there.

Prophylactic, I think. I haven't seen any live fleas on me, for sure (and years ago, before topical treatments, I often did). They scratch from time to time, though.

It's hard to see a flea on black Stirling anyway. And Dagny's fur is so thick and bushy, finding a flea is really only possible on her face.

30 We used to have two cats and when we fostered greyhounds, it was their job to see whether or not the dog could safely live with felines.

One dog basically never made eye contact with the cat that lived with him for the first few months he lived there. The lessons my cats taught were pretty good.

38 Yes, flea combing is necessary for infested cats. Frontline works, but you gotta comb too. Fill a bowl with very hot water, and as you comb, plunge the flea-filled comb into the hot water to stun them, then flush them quickly before they revive.

Fleas are tough! You can't kill them by pinching them with your fingers, and they don't drown easy either. They can live without eating for months. So any time you become aware of them, you need to act decisively and resolutely to exterminate them, or they'll be all over you too in no time.

Good idea. I would grab them off the comb and put them in a deep marble sink which was next to where I was combing. They couldn’t jump out and I got great satisfaction in popping them by pressing my thumbnail against them until I heard the pop.

41 It's nice enough Jake and I are hanging outside with Mr. trouble. The black cat came over and wanted to eat. He didn't try to start a fight, just ate and got a drink. I don't mind feeding him but don't need any fights. Had an older stray show up. I never see these diring the day. This cat was so happy to have a free meal. Will see which ones hang around when it's cold.

46 40 I grew up in Chicago, and everyplace we lived had roaches. Then I moved out here to Sh!tsville, and never see roaches, but boy do we have fleas!

First place I moved in here, one of the roommates got a cat. Within a month, the entire place was flea-infested. It's embarrassing as hell when people at work warn you that you have fleas jumping off you!

Among the extermination tactics I used was to walk across the floor and pick them off my bare legs and ankles as they hopped on. After the roommate moved out shortly after, I used one of those incendiary flea-bombs (this was 1973,) and vacated the place for three days.

After you think they're gone, you have to stay vigilant! Their eggs last for years, and the adults can live a long time without feeding. Nip em in the bud, and watch to see they stay nipped!

51 Yes, I did the flea bomb thing back in the spring, and have several times over the years. It's reduced the flea population to the point I don't really notice anything. It's also eliminated the roaches pretty much completely! There were times when going into the kitchen meant killing a lot of those vermin. Not any more.

54 So am I the only moron who composes songs to sing to his cats? I got a great one for my 19-year-old blind-deaf but still fierce and feisty (and beautifully patterned) female, Mitten. Trouble is, the lyrics are far too salty for this thread.

She's deaf, but she purrs more when I sing, so I guess it's osmotic or something. She needs laptime several times a day.

58 Lily the corgi would like to nip your fingers with her needle teeth.

Corgis are herding dogs, and were bred to work cattle. Not sheep, goats, chickens, geese, or llamas, but cattle. They were bred to be low to the ground, so as to be out of the way of kicking rear feet. To get tough with a steer, they nip the steer's ankles. In, jab with mouth open, teeth slashing, and instant back out. Like a lightweight boxer.

Our Lily loves people, and will run to any stranger who looks at her with a smile. She's a jumper, and can be annoying if you don't like dogs. Young voices, kids, excite her the most, I guess because she has experienced so many that want to meet her, pet her, play with her.

I tell someone I approach, don't look at her. Look up, ignore her. that'll let her know not to jump up.

Lily pretty much ignores other dogs. Not much interest other than maybe a quick sniff. Dog parks aren't her thing.

Her thing is chasing off the lot any animal that intrudes, so she chases the squirrels, the geese, ducks, and whatever deer wanders in to nibble. She gives the offenders the bums rush to the tree line, and stops.

She's a "get off my lawn" dog.

60 I have a couple of comments about the September 17th Fluffer Clingers Cafe. (I can't keep up, so I have a window full of Cafe tabs that I slowly work through.)

I find it painful to watch guilty-looking dogs. Low IQ, low ability to anticipate consequences, and a high time preference anyway, they're not well suited to self-restraint, but they can tell disapproval when it's too late.

https://x.com/PuppiesIover/status/1968073183590068587

Is there a better analogy for "democratic socialism" than babies giving their food to dogs? It's easy for them to give it away since they didn't work for it, they don't know if their facile virtue signaling might be unneeded or even bad for the client, and any mess that results is going to be cleaned up by someone else.

62 How much for cuddles? Reminds me of one of our best "how he got his name" stories. As told on the Saturday Morning Open Thread, Jan 19, 2013:

On our way back from Chicago with our twin boys, we stopped at the rest area near Pontiac. I came out of the men's room & saw a big, yellow, long-tailed tom winding around my sons' legs and the boys begging to take him home with us.

First, this is no kitten; full-grown, even already snipped. I said, no, this belongs to somebody, maybe a nearby farm. I didn't really think so, but, second but not least, we had about 700 miles to go and riding with a strange cat that far did not seem to me to be the greatest of ideas, right? Much 'debate' in which Dad was unyielding. When I said my final absolute no, it was as if the cat understood, and he began to walk away from us. He walked toward the parking area, and my thought was, oh great, now I get to see him run down. He walked directly to an empty angled parking space, and sat down, looking at me. It looked to me like he was sitting on something, so, curiosity aroused, I walked over to see what. Two pieces of paper, a fiver, and a ten spot. 😻

That's why we called him Buck. He was a great cat.

I'm not sure, all she has is a little stub back there. If I can get a suitable profile photo, I'll send it in to KT for analysis.

This morning, she was drinking my coffee. Really? I think it was the cream, so I gave her a little bit of that.

She's a bold thing, followed me right into the dining room and I had to pick her up and put her back out.

Della absolutely HATES Bunny's guts. I wish I could capture her glare through the back door. She doesn't seem to mind Sammy, though. Purry hates Sammy but seems more tolerant of Bunny. Cats are weird.

Exceptions: big red tabby part-Coon Arizona, who did NOT want any other cats in his domain; and Linda's white shorthair Annabelle, who refused to have anything to do with other felines even though she had to live with several over the years.

70 Bean, Bravo and Charlie's mama, wants nothing to do with any other cat including her own babies. Having 1500 SF of basement to herself is as she likes it.

71 That's why we called him Buck. He was a great cat.

What a great "meet cute" story!

72 I had a grey tabby female cat, then the kids dragged home a half grown orange tabby. I truly believe the grey tabby hated that orange cat more the day he died eight years later than she did the day he joined the family

73 A day without cats is a day without sillieness.

I've tried establishing a rule of "no silliness in my household."

They don't listen.

Cat Distribution System.

That’s an awesome tale.

75 It bothers me a lot that one of the primary uses of AI is creating scenarios of people in mortal danger for videos.

76 "So am I the only moron who composes songs to sing to his cats?"

Absolutely not, although I sing to my dog rather than to a cat. I'm not a good singer but she seems to enjoy it. Lots of times I'll sing along to a song we're listening to and randomly substitute "dog" for any one syllable word and Luna (her name) for any two syllable word.

Was the video at the top AI? I couldn't tell.
It bothers me too if it's not real.

79 The cat fairy has been very good to us, but a twenty spot would be good too. Our cat treat budget has been shot to hell.
