    1. I was thinking there was some Vulcan nuzzling going on there…. (Watched a Star Trek marathon yesterday. I, II, III. Shatner and Nimoy.)

      But look at those kitteh ears reaching back! Hili could be sayin’, “Hey, careful, Uncle Jerry, you’re gettin’ all up in my grill.”

  4. I have an indoor-outdoor kitty who refused to become an indoor-only kitty. Every time he comes back in one piece, I greet him with a hug just about like that.

  7. I love cats as much as anybody, after all they are the most ‘strokable’ animals in our world, but I was shocked to learn that the occasional kill they make is not that occasional.

    3,9 million birds in and around Cape Town alone, not counting feral cats… mind boggling. In the US that must be billions.
    I never took a successor to ‘Kitty’ after he was killed by the 3 dogs next door.
    Now I feel that spares me some dilemma…

      2. That is an estimate dating from 2003, the new research shows that that was a severe, orders-of-magnitude-severe, underestimate. Not just in Cape Town, but also in the USA (and I guess in any other country: when I was in Florence and Rome 2 decades ago, the scarcity of birds struck me, I ascribed it to the Italians having a tradition of bird catching, but bot these cities have a rampant feral cat population too).

        1. Okay you’ve had your say, three times. You needn’t post on this topic again on this thread. And what motivated you to do this on a thread that’s supposed to be happy?

          This issue has been discussed to death here; it’s as if you’re the only one who’s discovered it. So be polite and cut it off now.
