There is an old locked thread (archival from a previous forum version I presume) located http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18646&KW=Pets&title=pets" rel="nofollow - here where members have posted pics of there pets. Being a very pet friendly guy, in a pet friendly family, I thought it would be nice to re-open a place for you all to show off your hairy (non-homo sapien) friends. I am really curious what sort of company the average proghead keeps. This is our newest family member, Buster, trying on his new sweater. He loves it, obviously.  This is Buster with his new best friend, Jessica.  This is the old man of the group, Tim.  This is Miss Paddles the 7 toed wonder cat.  This is a pile of fur, the white one is the yet introduced Jimmie.  ------------- https://www.last.fm/user/Tapfret" rel="nofollow">  https://bandcamp.com/tapfret" rel="nofollow - Bandcamp |

Old age is a good way to go.
Several of our cats have been musically named - we've had two cats called Syd, a Roxy, a Siouxsie, an Enya, a (Suzi) Kettles (a character played by Emma Thompson in a TV series called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tutti_Frutti_%281987_TV_series%29" rel="nofollow - Tutti Frutti ) and a (Dear) Prudence.
Two were named after F1 racing drivers - Jenson (Button) and (Ukyo) Katayama; one after a town in Leicestershire - Ashby-de-la-Zouche; Spike is obviously from Buffy; Storm after author Storm Constantine; and Mouse is named after the character from the ReBoot tv series. ------------- What? |

Thanks you guys, his sire was a North American Champion in something or other, so I guess that awesomeness comes through. And ya, I always liked the composition of that photo, its among my favourites. Tapfret, I'd like to see some more picture of your menagerie, particularly the 7-toed wonder cat. Also I find it amusing that your old man cat is named Tim while my old lady cat is named Timmy, we should set them up on a date Also, any chance we could get a better look at Jimmy?

If you have an aversion to pets them it's probably not a good idea. If your daughter is mature enough to take complete care of the cat then why not? The big downside to cats is that if they don't use the litter box, the pee is the most horrid thing you will ever smell. But if you've ever stroked a cat and had it purr at you, you'd know what it's all about. ------------- Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

I got her after she had turned 2 and I've had her for about 6 months now. She's a real sweetie.
