Nikko
Location: Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada
Nikko was rescued from the SPCA. I wonder if maybe he spent too much time staring at the fish through a window and thinks he is part aquatic creature. The fishbowl is his favourite place to sit when we are all in the kitchen.
PURRFISH! Cute little fellow. Good morning to all my fellow kitten lovers .
Brandi Lee, is this said in a Stever Irwin voice? lol
STEVE My apologies
I was thinking more jacque custow…(sp?)
Yes of course, you are right. Jacques cousteau it is
Wow pretty soon hes going to be too big to get in there and might get stuck and then what lol what a cute catfish

Did Nikko drink the water and eat the fishie?
….life inside a fishbowl………………….
**~~Celebrity fuZZ~~**
Way too cute!! And almost hometown as we are just south of Kamloops!
I have seen some down right cute kitties at this site but this one besides being cute is such a clown. New breed furry clownfish.
Totally adorable! Someday he’ll be a big, strong cat, and just won’t understand WHY he can’t fit in that bowl anymore!! : )
They will need to graduate to an auquarium.
What a cutie. Go ahead and buy that bigger bowl now.

The guy who ran the knitemare cat site can no longer maintain it due to bandwith limiations. He is looking for someone to take over for him. http://knitemare.org/index.php?l=pick&entry=188
That is HILLARIOUS!!! What a pretty boy!
I agree. Great markings on him
GOOOOOOD MORNING TDK!
A purrfect photo of a funny adorable kitty and a fellow Canadian.
Well it just doesn’t get any better than this!
Thank you for making my day:)
This pic twisted my brain into a pretzel! I wasn’t sure if the kitty was underwater, or on the outside of the bowl, or… Too early in the morning to be processing these things, I guess.
Anyway, he looks like he’s a character!!!
What a funny place for kitty to sit! And watch everyone while safely “hidden” away! Catfish, or something like that! Cats are funny anyway. Enjoy yours!
What a funny, adorable boy. You just never know what a cat is going to do next. Just when you think they couldn’t be funnier, they do something to exceed your expectations.
Happy Weekend to all.
We are due for more snow on Sunday. Hopefully it won’t be as horrible as last week. I think I need to get to the grocery to get the pre-snow obligatory milk, bread and toilet tissue. I don’t really need it, but I think it’s the law here on the east coast.
Hi Elene-How is the kit you helped the other day doing? Has he/she picked a name yet?
Hi Teresa, thank you for asking. The answer is, I’m not sure. He is eating and seems healthy. Has stopped most of the shaking when I am in talking to him. I can put my hand near him and no hissing or laid back ears, but I think he is feral not just a lost or abandoned pet.
I missed my appointment for his clinic visit because I could not put him in a cat carrier. He of course won’t go back in the trap. I was hoping he would use the carrier as a sleeping and hiding place (like all my other rescues) and then I could have just closed the door. That isn’t happening yet. So far I’ve had to cancel 4 appointments and it is frustrating. Worth it of course. My big fear is that if he is feral, and because he is at least 2-3 years old, I will have to release him back outside.
I’m leaning toward Stache (paulajeanne’s suggestion), Finn (Susan’s idea and my last name is Irish) and Yoric (from Kate the Grate). Of course, as everyone with a cat knows, it sometimes takes a bit of time before the exactly right name surfaces. Some of mine started out with 2 or 3 different names in the beginning.
Try dropping a towel over him and stand the cat carrier on its end so the opening is at the top and slide him down in there and be very, very fast with getting the door closed. I always had a hard time getting Petey in the carrier when he was going back home to my beother’s house. I got him minus the towel but the up ended carrier worked. Good Luck I hope you get to keep him indoors and not have to release him back onto the mean streets.
I can’t even catch may Max to put him in - he flows through my arms like water. I usually only get one chance, and if I blow it, that’s it - I have to call and cancel with the vet. If I do succeed and get him there, he’s so traumatized by the whole ordeal that it takes him days to come out from under the sofa. Any ideas about how to make this less stressful for us both?
Ask again on Monday when more people are here they might have a solution. Someone mentioned something to calm a kitty when traveling but I just don’t remember what it is. Have you asked your Vet?
Yep, and she wasn’t very helpful. Tranquilizers would be ineffective, she said, and Feliaway, which we used throughout the house to try to calm him when we were acclimating him to D’artagnan didn’t seem to have much of an effect on him either. Also, Max still has his claws, and doesn’t hesitate to use them when he’s trying to get away. I caught him as a 4 month old baby with a box trap, and he was easier to manage then. But as an adult he has a positive talent for escape. Maybe I should have named him Houdini.
Susan - Go to a healthfood store and get Rescue Remedy. It’s for humans but many people, especially those dealing with feral, scared and/or agressive cats have had good luck with it. You just put a few drops the his water bowl. It has a minty taste cats seem to like. It isn’t a tranquilizer. It’s more like a “prozac” kind of thing. I’ll put my Lil Hunney story on later today on the Monday kitten and you can see how I won over Lil Hunney (my feral). Do you have or can you borrow a small cage? You can put food in there and then wait for him to go in after it. It will be bigger and not as scary as a trap. Whe he does, close the door. You may have to not feed him for 24 hours so he will be hungry enough to go in the cage. Good luck.
Whoops, my reply was supposed to be for Elene although several of us maybe could benefit. I get confused about who is doing what and I’m only 46! Wonder what I will be like in 20 years?
The kit will come around, hopefully soon. Thank you again for caring for these kits. Putting the pet carrier on its side with the opening facing up works very well. You gotta be very quick with the towel trick though. Dee mentions Feliway as a calming product. It can be found at http://www.drsfostersmith.com
Yep it works like magic. It is called Feliway Comfort Zone.
It makes a big difference. Just spray the inside of your carrier. Can you say Hello Mellow Kitty
Elene, You have had more than your share of snow this winter, here in Minn we are getting it this weekend. They say 16+ inches by Monday - ech! I lived in PA for 14 years, I think we had snow you could measure twice,
we lived north of Philly.
We had a cat “Fuz” who liked to sleep in a flower pot, I never did plant anything in it. For some reason it was stored in the garage for about 5 years, I found it one day and took it into the house to clean it up and maybe finally plant something in it - Fuz saw it and was
into it as soon as I set it on the floor. She didn’t forget her favorite place to nap! ! !
LOL @ obligatory grocery run! I am in Mechanicsburg PA and the store was a mad house already this morning!
I hear you KittyToes. The stores here are busy too. We are due to get 5 inches of snow and ice tomorrow. Just like 2 weeks ago Wednesday. How about you Bumblebee? Got more snow in your forecast??
Nikko is so cute in the fish bowl! *Snuggles Nikko and slips into backpack*
Hey Lynn,
I just came in here to check this site again. I have had a bad headache all day, so have been in bed on and off. I just saw a storm warning on tv for our area that ends at 22 hours or something???? The sun is shining here and the sky a gorgeous blue.
I don’t know….we are finally starting to lose some of this mess and now more! UGH… I can actually see little spots of the driveway fianlly. Ha ha…
Glad to hear from you!!
Hey Bumblebee, sorry about your headache. Hope you are better now. The sun was out this morning, now it’s cloudy and we are due to get more snow and ice. We have an alert too, til tomorrow morning. Nothing yet, though. Stay safe through the storm.
Love your name Kittytoes!!!!!! That is so cute.
Kitty in a fishbowl……….What will they think of next? hehehehe how cute and funny.
Another suggestion, albeit weak, might be to find a vet that does house calls. I know some people who have never been able to to get their animals to a vet, so the vet comes to them.
This kitten is just trying to help control his fur flying around in the kitchen…
Good morning everyone!
It is another nice sunny day out!
Cats will find the strangest places to sit ! He’s a cutie.
Aquaman FUZZ
Love it!
There’s something fishy about this picture, but I have to say that kitty is completely adora-bowl!
Good one!
Cat from Atlantis Fuzz
Oh my, that’s a funny picture of one cute and funny kitteh haha!
He’s way too cute….looks like something ours would try to do….
AquaLung Fuzz!
Nice to see the Bonsai Kittens are now in new and exciting shapes!
That is SO funny
Nikko is sooooo cute! I bet his little white bib is very soft. I wonder if he thinks no one can see him.
This photo reminds me of a ground squirrel story. Across the driveway from my office a chain link separated our property from an open field. Of course if you had open area, a chain link fence and a few bushes you had prime ground squirrel habitat. Every day the squirrels would climb to the top rail of the chain link fence for sentry duty. If my coworkers or myself would walk by when the sentry squirrel was on duty, he would scamper below the top rail of the chain link fence to hide for a minute then pop his head over the rail to see if all was clear.
Have a wonderful day everyone!!
What a cute story. What is a ground squrriel and how are they different from the regualr old squrriel?
Here’s some info on the California ground squirrel. These guys even live in the rocks at the harbor.
http://www.etc-etc.com/sqrl.htm
Thank you Teresa I just checked the site out. I would be in hog heaven as I loved feeding the squrriels besides the birds where I lived before in Augusta. I made them a big pot of pop corn each day and sunflower seeds when I had the money. I put all the food out and one of them dug up flower blubs and I ran outside and he was sitting on a branch about eye level with me. I shook my finger at him was telling him he had his nerve to do that after I fed him all the time. I had a flash in my mind what I looked like and backed off and went into the house before someone called those nice men in white coats.
As any squirrel will tell you…it’s okay to be a little nuts.
That is such a cute picture. I love how some of my cats hide their heads and think we can’t see them.
Have a great weekend everyone!
My neice when she was two used to do that when playing hide and seek.
Ok now everyone..as you can see here, feline technology is rising.
Demonstrated by this FUZZ…they are recycling retired fish bowl using them as Funny Mirrors for the Outside world…also doubling as a FUZZ Think Tank from time to time.
Sources say that this new recycled technology is spreading across the globe as the new, hottest trend for kitten FUZZ!!!!
Good One!!!
From the research I have done, it also doubles as the new Fuzz “cone-of silence” They stole the technology from CONTROL.
I loved that show Agent 99.
Awesome. I dunno what it is about kitties, but they really do have a wonderful knack for finding the most interesting places to have a sit. This reminds me of that joke site Bonsai Kitty…though there is unfortunately a lot of people that commented on there that don’t understand satire.
It’s a silly site granted, and I don’t really find it all that amusing, but it’s worth a look…kind of in the manner that looking at a train wreck illicits a look.
I was utterly sickened by that site. I didn’t consider it funny at all, and if it was satire, it was an utterly inappropriate and disgusting one.
Sorry, animal abuse, even as satire, isn’t funny. It just isn’t.
The bonzai kitten is a HOAX
http://www.snopes.com/critters/crusader/bonsai.asp
I really don’t think it’s about not understanding satire to me it is just in poor taste. BTW I don’t look at train wrecks either.
Good morning, everyone! He’s too funny! That’s cute!
Now this is a great picture! I believe it must be the extremely rare catfish. I think the only other time it has ever been captured on film was over 30 years ago. What a find!!!
How Cute! He looks just like my girl, Bella.
Here’s an interesting article.
Oops. Hit the wrong button. Here it is.
http://www.life.com/Life/current_issue
Yes it’s interesting but it burns me b/c so many cats are being put to sleep and are homeless and these people are creating “designer cats” that will displace even more. Crimeny!
Those are my feeling too. Makes me a stronger advocate for spay/neuter programs and RESPONSIBLE pet ownership.
Yes, that fact is mentioned in the article.
The Little Fur-Maid
That’s a good one.
OK, I know that cats are drawn to windows and they can spend aeons sitting in them. But isn’t this -umh- overkill?
Nikko is a beautiful boy. I adore his stripes and I certainly prefer him to any goldfish.
Obviously, a forward-thinking kitty: when they put the fish in, he’ll be ready!
Cats do like to find odd places to squeeze into, usually round ones. My Shy used to sleep in a fruit bowl on the dining room table until he got spooked by something and crashed it on the floor. And one morning I woke up and found The Biffer curled up in a frying pan I’d left on the stove (luckily it was clean, so she didn’t get all greasy).

That’s nice. . .when you get a fish, Nikko will be all ready! Oh, he’s adorable. I’ve got a cat with that coloration. Hope you have many nice long years with your kitty! Love him always.
