Turk loves to chase and grab his tail, kinda like a dog. Makes me wonder if he was one in another life…

Adorable! I like.
Bad tail! I’ve got you now!
The evil tail has been subdued!!
Yes my preety i love kittens sooooooo soft
Oh I just love orange kittehs! Have one myself and he grabs his tail too!
Turk looks so soft!
He is cute, my cat does that with her tail and then she licks it and uses it to wash her face - v funny
Snugglepuss! He looks determined to figure out that tail thingy he’s got there betwixt his paws. How very cute!
I get the biggest kick out of when cats do that - my one adult cat will still chase her tail. I’ll grab it & hold it for her & she can then lick it!!!! Too cute of a little guy he is!!
I thought my cat was the only one who chased her tail! She is hilarious, too. She is almost 3 and grows more playful every day. It is really something to see her go–she does catch it but doesn’t seem to know what to do with it, once she has it.
that is one focused kitty…………..
Oh my God that is so adorable. He looks like my late departed but much loved Taffy same color. Taffy only had half a tail so he couldn’t do that but would catch and wouldn’t release Domino’s tail until Domino slapped him upside his head.
‘Come here right now Mr Tail, or you’ll be one sorry appendage!’ Question to Susan in Kennesaw: What is a 411?
That is the number for information at the phone company just as 911 is the emergency number. I forget some of us aren’t from the USA. Sorry.
Thanks Susan and Andi for telling me what it means. It is very cool to find out new things. TDK is an education.
What she said, so ‘getting the 411′ has become slang for ‘getting information’.
And the 511 is toooo much information!
Did you make that up? I like that!
No, my daughter uses it alot and I have picked it up. It is a clever way of telling someone that they are giving too much personal information! She probably got it from the TV.
We usually just say “TMI” for too much information
As an English major I find it interesting how text language has changed the way we communicate. Since my kids grew up and left home I feel so out of the loop on new expressions.
I know the feeling! I occassionally have to call my daughter and ask, but she (at 26) is sometimes oblivious, too! Outta sight, man!
im only 28 and i already feel out of the loop. i had to ask my friends son what EMO ment. for those who may not know it stands for emotional kids who are depressed and stuff. its kind of a style and a music type i guess. im like “i’ve only been out of school 10 years, how can i be so out of it already!” lol
EMO–that’s a new one…
I just told my husband about 511. He loves it. Since we are retirement age, we feel privelged when we learn new cool stuff. Thanks.
Emo is a new word?! sorry, still a teen! i’ve know that word 4 about 5 years!! guess thats good thing about being young!
:::blushes because I’m 36 and I’ve known about emo since ‘95:::
Every time I get to thinking that I’ve got a nice, normal, functional mainstream life going, something like this pops up and reminds me: “you may be 36, but most of the things you know will get you strange looks from REAL 36-year-olds…you know, the responsible, normal ones.” Most people would be proud of this, I suppose, but I just feel…weird. (Thank heavens for kittehs, who look at all humans as equally weird and incomprehensible creatures!!!
)
Heh. No, I’ve known about emo for a while too. I think it depends on what circles you run in and who you meet. I’d heard 511 too, though not in a while. We usually use TMI or WTMI (way too much information) or WTFTMI (way the f*** too much information).
Sweet as can be! Love the ‘lil pink paw pads…I just wanna kiss ‘em!!
Another pad lover! What part of the world are you in, Renee?
Pad lover. Dee. I am a fanny woman myself. My Kateri is a long hair kitten and when she is walking the other way away from me I call her “puff pants” because the other cats are shorthairs. She has panteloones.
That is cute Fran, there is somebody on catster who named their kitty Fuzzypants for the same reason.
As a belly dancer I love the reference. I’ve always used fuzzy britches myself. It works for short or long hair fur persons.
Me too! I love little pink kitty toes! I even have a cat paw print stamp and pink ink to stamp all the messages I send at work.
Oh I bet your coworkers just that. (more like love it or HATE it)
No one seems to notice them at all, I haven’t gotten one comment on them.
Wow! I feared I was the only one with a kitty paw fetish.
Now I step out of the closet:
HI! I AM MIU AND I AM A PAW ADDICT.
….ahem…..the Rosie terminology is: PTP’s*……..duzzaduzzduzz……..
*puffy toe pads.
I too love to look at what color kitty pads are - I have one grey girl , her nose is grey, but I swear her pads look lavender. She has long fur so she has fancy pants too. She is Miss Pearl, a very special girl and has a white dot on her chest.
Too cute!
LOL!! I have a black cat that still loves to chase her tail. She is 3 years old now and we never get enough of her acrobatics.
Love Turks eyes.
Mine does too! When she was a kitten it used to scare the crap out of me, because she’d climb up on the shaky bannister, balance with her back feet on the bannister, then reach through the bars with her front paws and chase and chew on her tail. Funny to watch but a little scary to think about if she falls.
Acrobatic FUZZZZ!
I recieved an email from a friend over the weekend with twenty three photos of cats that had been painted. It costs $15,000 a paint job $60,000 a year to keep it up. The photos are amazing. If anyone wants to see them email me at LOVEANDJOY55ATYAHOODOTCOM You know how to translate that to what the real email address is and I will be happy to forward them to you.
Hi Susan, sent you an e-mail, I would love to see. Sounds fascinating
Thanks
Just sent it your way. I just don’t know how the person got the cats to sit still. Hopefully they didn’t drug the cats.
I think it’s a fantastic job of a photo editor. I don’t think they actually painted the cats.
My first thought was photoshop. bit believe it or not I found the book on amazon.com It is called Why Paint Cats.
The sequel to that book should be because I have way too much time on my hands and way too much money!
I was sent that email last week…it’s incredible, living artwork!…don’t think my kitties would sit still for it, though!
Turk — you are just adorable! Be nice to that tail, now!
i saw those too i wonder how they got them to hold still i think it boarders on the mean side esp if they had to be sedated i think cats are aready puuurfect just like turk
I would think that with such an elusive subject, they take photos first then paint from those. I know there have been some really stunning photos on this site that could be painted onto canvas.
Feb 12 - Tried your LoveandJoy55 AT yahoo DOT com and got NOTHING. However, there is a site http://www.whypaintcats.com which shows pictures of “painted cats” (personally I think they were computer generated) from a book on same - some lovely cats & intestering pro and con (up to and including outrage) comments. LoveYourCat
I am sorry Alice you didn’t get me as that is my email address. Glad you found an on site place to see them.
Well in my experience orangies are part human part dog and part very naughty kitty.
My ginger fuzz butt ALFIE ( another plug for ya Alfie) follows me everywhere, he fetches. I have taught to shake paw, when I call his name he comes running..Doesn’t have to do too often cause like I said he is everywhere I am
We are working on “roll over” now
How adorable!
Hi are you Alfie’s mother on Catster? Jefke’s mommie here
ps. if you’re not Alfie’s mom on Catster ignore this silly post.
Hi Chen, I was going to tell you about this cool kitten place and here you are. You should send a pick of your adorable Jefke another adorable orangie
You can see my huddy there also
Lucky is noy an orange but he acts part dog he is even house broke goes to the door to be let out to go
that is not an orange
I have a tabby-Bug, who sits and begs. I almost have him dancing in circles, but lay down and rollover are not happening. He will stand on his hind legs and reach up with the front to be picked up, then he will ride on my shoulder wherever I go.
Turk is such a cutie! For all of you new visitors to the site, please go back and check my post of yesterday. You’ll find it towards the end of Tabasco’s site. It’s a welcome to all visitors to this great site.
That was very well put, Lynn!
Thank you, Dee. Just wanted to make sure we welcome them all so no one feels left out!
Maybe Kittenmaster could find a way to put a permanant “WELCOME” along with an invitation to coment one time each day somewhere in the middle of all our coments. Would that work?
Good suggestion, Fran. I can see a way to do this that requires a little bit of work, but I’ll get round to it…
I had a snow shoe who would get mad at her tail for giving her away when she was in “hunter mode” It was a hoot! When what she was stalking was tipped off by the thrashing, she would turn around and look at her tail as if it had a mind of its own. Then she would promptly chase it and do a Turk
awww how cute! My cat does that too, and everytime she dugs her nails into her tail, she lets out a little cry of pain. but she keeps going!
Turk comes with all that kitty stuff
Teeth and tail and claws — he’s tough!
But he must have been left agog
To be compared to a dog!
He is just a kitty sweet
From kitty ears to kitty feet
He think everything was fine
Until he was called canine!
Turk’s a lovely baby cat
And that is all and that is that.
Nice one Bill. I admire your use of the word ‘agog’.
Purrfect!!
I love your poems. Keep ‘em coming please!
Bill,you have outdone yourself…again. There you go sounding like a Brit (to me)…”agog”…cool! Love it
It must come from my mother (me mum?), an English Lit minor, who read to her offspring from Kenneth Grahame, A.A. Milne, and Lewis Carroll.
Ivory Bill, maybe you should get the kitten photos and your poems and put them in a collection for publication-kitty moms and dads willing, of course. Might wind up as a Broadway musical…uh oh, I feel a song coming on….
Adorable Ivory Bill! That is too cute!!
Love reading your poems!
Wonderful, Bill!
Turk is such a handsome boy - love his determination! My kitten, Dewy, was chasing his tail this weekend and was actually hissing at it because he couldn’t catch it! They are so funny!
That is an America’s Funnies Home Videos moment…
If only I had my camcorder handy - I say this numerous times a day!
Think of the hundreds of times in our cat’s lives when the camera was just across the room at the moment the fuzzbutt did the impossible or whatever, and we missed it. Bummer.
Im convinced that one of my when you call(sometimes) and he kinda smells like a dog too. Pritty funny!
**~~Past Life Regression Therapy Fuzz**~~
good one, Rosie!
….ahem….so what’s new?…..HYAK!………..
Your modesty is underwhelming!
Surely you jest! That’s part of Rosie’s charm.
Yes, but don’t call me Shirley
(sorry, just had to do that)
Ok, Instinct…that’s one of my lines!
From “Airplane?”…oh for the love of a good pun! They say that puns are the lowest form of humor, but I can’t help myself, I love the word play!
*humble, CatRancher bows before the FUZz Master*
That’s our Rosie!! I haven’t heard that in a while!!
Awwww, another pretty orangey!! Turk looks very intense.
Come on Turk, you can continue your intensity in the backpack.
Heh. My late calico Miranda used to chase her tail. One day she caught it and pulled on it so hard she yanked her hind feet right out from under herself. You never saw such a shocked face in your life. Of course, then she had to pretend she’d done that on purpose, so she started licking her tail very hard.
Turk is adorable. If I didn’t have seven already, I’d snatch him.

Isn’t it hilarious how felines won’t ever admit to clumsiness. Whenever one of mine has a silly little accident, such as falling off the counter or the bed, they always recover and look around to see if anyone saw them. Then they get that “I did that on purpose” look. So funny.
Whenever my cats do that they suddenly find the need to bathe themselves.
Sounds like my 3, Elene. They each have that look, especially if I am laughing (Yes I am ashamed to confess but I do laugh in their little fuzzy faces.) And then I get a distinctly disdainful look. WHAT??!! I MEANT FOR THAT TO HAPPEN!!
That is too funny especially since my hubby and I laugh at our cats all the time, and they do get a very indignant look on their cute little faces like “what?, that wasn’t funny” and then they have the nerve to stalk off in a huff…
Elene–that is so true—have you ever heard that old George Carlin bit about that? very funny…
Not that I can remember. But I used to love Carlin.
Cats don’t like to be laughed at. But sometimes it is impossible not to laugh…
My Tigger can look so offended when I laugh at him. He stares and stares at me in horror as though I were the antichrist if I laugh at him. That makes me laugh more. When my husband and I get up and have coffee in the morning we say it is “cartoon-time” as we watch the kitties do whatever they do.
cant stop laughing over that visual……………..rolling on the floor
All three of my cats played with their tails as kittens. Trixie who is the youngest was also fond of playing with others’ tails, which didn’t make them too happy!
This kitten is sweet, adorable, huggable, kissable, snuggleable, belly smufable (did I miss any?).
My kitten Plinko was playing with his tail and he was biting it, and he scratched it, he started yelping, he almost said OUCH! but he was just crying, it was funny, but not for him.
I love your fuzzie, our cats should get together!
Plinko? named after the Price is Right game?
Or after Archie Bunker’s son-in law, back in the dark ages. Remember (if you are old enough) He called him a “commie-pinko”
Another great ginger kitten. I am convinced that kittens have tails just for play. They think all tails, whether moving or not, are toys to chase and nibble on.
My Bob, now a 2 year old, has a huge fluffy tail. Whenever I have new rescues kittens in the house they won’t leave poor Bob alone. He is a very sweet boy, but doesn’t take kindly to having all the babies chasing his tail.
Awwww, you have rescue kitties, God Bless ya! Hopefully Bob will teach them some manners soon. lol My oldest Sydney was just a bit over one when kitten Wally came into our lives and it was fun to watch Sydney play mom. I caught her smacking the top of his head often.
Their relationship came to a very abrupt end one day when Wally tried to suckle poor Syd. She has big eyes but they got to be cartoon kitty size and then she smacked him so hard he fell off the couch..Now she tolerates him - just barely.
This is my first time with multiples (3) and it is fun watching them together.
Awwww how cute!
is turk up for adoption??
Oh for heaven’s sake! That is just too cute! Such focus ! Not ever having had a kitten, I’ve not seen many of the antics described here. You all keep me in stitches !!
My back has been out for over a week and my little rescue, Gavin Sage, precious baby he is, is so upset I am sick. He watches me hobble along and stares at me. Then when I sit down, he jumps up on my lap and kneads me. When I lay in my bed, he has to lay right under my neck or behind my neck, and kneads me some more! He is so lovey. He usually always is very lovey to me, but since I’ve been sick, he is very clingy. I am so blessed to have his love. Awwww….. He is grey and white and one whisker puff is white and one is grey. Adorable! Just wanted to share! (smile)
I’m sorry to hear you are not well, but that is awfully cute that he’s taking care of you!
HOpe you feel better soon! Back trouble is just no fun. Sure glad your Gavin is taking care of you
