M maggiedemi OUCH! Hope it goes away soon. Any kind of pain in my head drives me bats. How's the weightlifting going, and the change in diet, btw? *Baby pix! Baby pix!* :yess:

I learned from people like yourself that two cats is never too many.
@Shane Kent - Same with Tanuki! Look at this - even better than a Tanuki figurine!!!!!

Bear is up for adoption here:

Rehoming. Encounter Exotics Charity Animal Rescue and Care Centre

I'll bet that Karen would LOVE a Tanuki or two! Grab him quick before @norchan sees him!

;)

"A Tanuki or Two." Man... Doctor Seuss would have had a field day with this!

"Some doggies, some cats,
A Tanuki or two;
Your house could look just
Like the Ottawa Zoo!"

Hello pawsitive thread! It's been a tiring and rough week, but it's now Friday and I'm ready to just relax in my pajamas and watch youtube and hopefully get some kitty company. I really need that. It's so nice to just be able to sit and do nothing important.

I found a baby picture for this thread - as a literal days old baby. Cropped my mom out for her privacy. Enjoy?

M maggiedemi funny you should ask about the dentist. The temporary cap popped off the tooth (something about don't eat/chew nuts like almonds LOL) so, I go in and have it put back on. Four hours later they called, the permanent crown was in...:doh:

All the best of luck to you!!

Positive, the heat is supposed to cool down in a few days :)

Lari Lari , awww, so cute! And wishing you a good weekend. I know the feeling -- it's been a harsh one, hasn't it?
Furballsmom Furballsmom -- GREAT! So glad to hear that. It's never good to have to be so careful of one's mouth.

I haven't shared any music for awhile. This one's for our beloved angel Rani. *EVER in my heart and soul.*

Furballsmom Furballsmom thats no fun! During my last dental excursion, my temporary popped off as well. It was not a fun time. I'm glad your permanent one has arrived, and hope it works out perfectly for you.

Today I got a lot done. Mostly packing (still haven't come across that box of family pictures, but I think your baby pic is just adorable Lari Lari - what a sweetie!) I had a nice sighting of a hummingbird this morning. Always PAWSITIVE to see nature in action. By the time I tried to snap a pic, he had moved on, but not before stopping by every single flower on this bush:

The cricket inside the rose is a great shot!

Tanuki figurines? Tanuki figurines?
NEVER have I seen a tanuki figurine
OMG Really!? Tanuki figurines are everywhere over here. People buy them to put outside their front door, they serve the same purpose as a garden gnome. Actually there are two AWESOME figurines in the garden of an abandoned house near here. I've had my eye on them for ages but they're four ft high and really heavy. I can't carry them home by myself. I keep asking Mr Husband to come and get them but he says even taking stuff from abandoned houses isn't allowed. I keep telling him it's not stealing, it's recycling, but he won't listen. M maggiedemi how good are you at weight-lifting? Can you lift a 4 ft tanuki? Oh, and a few years ago we went to a village where they make tanuki figurines and some of them were about 9 ft tall and they come in all sizes and colours and you can get boys or girls and they have them with cute little hats on or bow ties and they're just the best thing ever!!!!!

OK......deep breath......I know we have a lot of pictures of the tanuki village somewhere. I'll look for them after work tonight.

I learned from people like yourself that two cats is never too many.
Thank you. You've just made my day.

I'll bet that Karen would LOVE a Tanuki or two! Grab him quick before @norchan sees him!
We get wild tanuki trying to climb into the enclosure all the time. Unfortunately they don't get along well with cats.

Norachan Norachan - That's not a cat - that's Sophie! Good grief - Tanuki are what Snowshoes eat in the wild.

My "Moon" theme tune goes out to you tonight, norachan - just because of the lyrics:

"Fly me to The Mu
And let me play amidst the snow;
I'll come home with Forest Cat
And Carpet and Jiro...."

Lari Lari --Thank you for sharing the baby pic, I love it. :)

Furballsmom Furballsmom --I'm weird, I love getting crowns. They are so beautiful. When I win the MegaMillions, I'm gonna get crowns on every tooth like the celebrities do.

tarasgirl06 tarasgirl06 --I postponed the weight-training/diet one more week. ;)

Norachan Norachan --Have you seen any llamas lately? Got a pic for me? Any post about llamas has got to qualify as a positive. I have been obsessed with them since I saw one on Sesame Street when I was little. :D

Where my cats are
Is it "Dentist Day" for TCSers? I went in for a filling I've been waiting 3 months for today. I had an appointment for another in a few weeks because its on the opposite side of my mouth. But thankfully my new dentist was able to do both! I won't describe what my smile looked like when I left. ;) They are also getting me set up with a consult for an implant to replace a baby tooth I had out a year ago. I'm not super excited about that; but I keep telling myself I'll be happy I had it done after it's over.

And if someone asks if I still have all my teeth I will say yes. I paid for it; it's mine. :smash:

I'm just glad those are taken care of. And I was able to eat dinner by cutting my chicken into toddler size pieces to chew in the way back. :crazy:

1CatOverTheLine 1CatOverTheLine - I keep telling you that you can't have Carpet, I have first dibs on her. Why can't you be happy with just Forest and maybe Jiro and of course a ferocious Snowshoe? Just greedy I guess. I'll outlive both you and Norachan Norachan and then I'll get Carpet, so there.

You still had a baby tooth? How old are you? And why would you have a baby tooth replaced, there should be a permanent tooth under it????

segelkatt segelkatt -The only reason I'm still up at three o'clock in the morning is to watch over Carpet - to make certain that someone doesn't abduct the poor kitty.

Now that you mention it, however, Sophie is so lovely, that maybe I should add her (and Albert) to Forest Cat and Jiro. Of course, I like Hiro too... and The Mu! And I suppose if Carpet came here, I'd have to take Chicken, Sadie and Twinkle. And Marley's in Love with Sadie, so he'd have to come along as well. And Marley's name starts with, "M" and we couldn't break up a set, so I suppose that Mia The Minx and Moon would have to come. And Susy Siren and Little Boy, naturally. And I imagine that they'd all be lonesome without Lizzie, Freya, Henry Lee, Toby Happy, Flynn and Heidi.

Norachan Norachan are you taking this down?

;)

Happy Caturday to all. For those in the storm's path - our Prayers to each and every one, from Bob, Scottiecat, Puff, Peanut, Lance, Oz, Mirò, White Tip, Black Friday, Clawed-Ya and, of course from Moo Shu Snowshoe.

Here you have this whole clowder of cats and you still want Carpet. Absolutely not. This phony excuse that you are just making sure that nobody will catnap her is not even the tiniest bit believable. Go to bed and stop worrying about and drooling over Carpet, she's mine!

A bailiwick is an area of authority, but more commonly refers to someone's home turf or neighborhood. Sorry, but ancients like me tend to use terms that are not familiar to most younger people. Besides , I am an omnivorous reader (almost- I draw the line at romance novels), and have picked up a whole boatload of terms and words over the years.

OK, for all you people that have never seen a Tanuki figurine allow me to introduce you to the wonderland known as Shigaraki. Home of the ceramic Tanuki.

They come in all shapes and sizes.

Cute little baby ones.

The more traditional style.

This one was actually the entrance to a restaurant.

A rather well endowed male.

Big spooky ones that hide off in the bamboo.

I really want a pair for the enclosure, wouldn't that be great?

Norachan Norachan - Holy jumpin' King Kong of Raccoon Dogs; he's a real beauty; I've got exactly the right spot for this big fellow!

segelkatt segelkatt - Sorry - I've spent my Life owning retail businesses, and I know a great opportunity when I see one. A place just came up for sale in a fabulous high-traffic location - great retro building, LOTS of parking, and cheap as heck. All I have to do is change the "R" on the sign to a "T" and I'm in business!

I'm gonna corner the cat market!!!!!
