This is Stripes. He is 15 years old. Yes. 15. He is old. Believe it or not, the vet thought he was 8. This cat is going to live well into his 20's.


So, what's his secret to staying young you ask? Well, an healthy diet. Active lifestyle. Oh a boy toy.


This is Henry. 5 years ago Stripes came home with this cat. Henry was a shy, timid, and skinny as hell. He ran in, ate as much food as he could than ran out. Stripes didn't mind. He was the one who invited him over. Believe me, Stripes invited him. Many cats try to entre our house/fire escape, Stripes has beaten the poo poo out of them all. Anyway. It turns out Henry was our neighbours cat. Our neighbour is not sane. She would have her AC on full blast year round, she never feed him, she would up and leave for weeks on end, either locking Henry in the cold basement apartment OR outside (summer or winter). Over time Stripes would bring Henry home to stay for the night during those days he was locked out. He slowly grew to trust us and he started to stay as long as possible. Still he was never really our cat, we often stayed outside during the summer due to his fleas. He had some serious trust issues thus he would often attack us when he felt threaten and he didn't gain weight. He was polite and made sure to say thank you. He really was grateful for sleeping over or to have a meal. Yet, like I said, he never was truly our cat. We sort became foster parents, we loved him but he wasn't ours. One day our neighbour just disappeared. "Moved" so the rumors were. So my mother and I took him in for good. We had no choice, Stripes was in love with him. Henry no longer attacks us, is vocal, listens when we call him, gain weight, a little pushy, will take over half of your bed space but most importantly, he keeps Stripes young.

Yes. He is an interesting cat indeed.

Fixed! Go me! Thanks for the help!

when you have enough cats eventually it gets to the point where your clothes come out of the washing machine still with cat hair on them/woven into their very fabric


I was buying black pants the other day for a job. I was barely at the cash and already I somehow got cat hair on it.

if you link from imgur and use the "thumbnail" size option be sure to choose "linked bbcode" or whatever. it's better to just paste the normal size imgur link in and the forums will automatically make it [img] and then you change that to [timg] and tadah all done

personally i like to use the linked middle size imgur ones because sometimes timgs of huge pictures take a long time to load

Let's try this.

my sister and i have at separate points in time occupied the same bedroom and we both agree that sometimes at night you look up at the doorway and feel a little...off. we agree that it feels like something/someone just out of sight in the darkness of the hallway, somebody is staring at you.

she told me when i moved into her old bedroom and i didn't believe it, but a week later i adopted faraday and he took to coming to bed with me. on one such night i had that weird unsettled feeling and sat up in bed. faraday was upright on his hind legs, tail frizzed out, just staring at the doorway :tinfoil:

Stripes is not very good at modeling.


Because he believes that human hands should be used for pets, not taking photos.



Happy Kitty



Even hours later.


We had a sudden heat wave.


So I brushed Stripes.


Lots of Fur


After the brush, he went back to sleep.

I don't know how bad those fires are. Yet if I knew I had to get out quick, I would grab my cat case, stuff my two cats in it, put my pet rat in my pocket, grab my money and ID and run.

I know poo poo can get bad fast but I would never leave my pets behind. You wouldn't leave granny who can't walk. Or a baby who depends on others to care for it. These pets are family, either you take them with you or you're just an another human being who really thinks human race is above all other animals.

I don't think any of these animals were left behind but many of the people are living in a high school gym- not really conducive to having 100s of animals with 100s of stressed out people. It is more like a temporary living situation.

From their FB page-




This fire was unbelievably fast moving too and actually there are 4 fires raging.

That is completely different story than. It just bothers me when there are people who have time to take their pets with them and just don't. Not saying every case is the same, like one person mention, huge floods, being recused, have to leave pet behind. Still, with cases like fires, you often (not always) have a few minutes before you need to get out. Enough to tell you cat tough poo poo bro, your in that cat carry.

ahHHHHHHHHHH so this cat recently gave birth, was allowed outside and had a massive sore on her neck while being choked by her collar? i can't with people

edit: just to be clear i don't think allowing cats outside is a problem in most cases but holy poo poo she just gave birth

She most likely went out to get water and maybe food because i doubt they are taking proper care of her.

Henry and Stripes are enjoying the nice weather. Spending as much time outside as possible. Henry is being difficult, for he won't come in when we call him. Often coming home at 12 - 1 am. Both are not happy when it rains. Yesterday it was raining but we still had the window open. Stripes kept going to the window, sticking his head out, get wet, than run off. After a few minutes he thought "maybe the rain is gone now" and tried again. After 3 rounds he started to meow at us. I think he wanted us to stop the rain. O.o
