What an awesome cat! And such charm

Heh, cats have to have more personality than people do, lets them get away with more


Hey 'Rocu

Hey, ´Orny!

'Orny?

Ornery might be more apt

At least be grateful I excluded the H!

I think its inclusion might have raised a few eyebrows

So today the others are at work and I´m at home. And if I were religious I´d pray I don´t have to return there!

He was all of that, and as you said - died too young. He used up all of his nine lives the first few years of his life, the other six were just an extra blessing for us. What a cat!

He was too dignified to talk to humans by meowing like the other cats, but he understood everything you said to him and would prove it.

Every time one of the other cats went missing (usually his grandmother, she used to go off into the woods sometimes) I would tell Possom to find them, that I wouldn't feed till they were all there to get their share.

He'd take off looking purpose-full, and within an hour he would be scratching at the porch door with that cat by his side if they were alive.

If they weren't alive, he somehow knew it. His expression would change to look very serious like he was giving you the bad news, and he'd sit down and stare at you instead of going to look for them. That was his way of saying there was no need to go looking for that cat, (both times it happened the cat we were asking him to look for was dead).

If I caught a mouse in the house and tossed it out to the outside cats, Possom took it as a gift that needed to be reciprocated with a bigger gift. One time he left a rabbit as large as him on my doorstep, the next time he left a (gulp) large squirrel.

These cats are feral, but since we had to save his life so many times Possom ended up living inside our house numerous times to be treated medically. When he wasn't being treated we'd put him back outside with his kin, but every now and then he'd push past you when you opened the door and run inside just to show you he could come in if he wanted to. He'd lord around for a bit like a king surveying his subjects and then go back out to brag about his adventure to the rest of the cats. He was hilarious.

I would have loved to meet that cat! Though seeing themselves as kings and humans as their subjects is something every cat does


I think he brought you that squirrel just to keep you from rebelling against him...

It worked, lol.

He deserves a re-post

Thank you! Yes, he does. He was so much more than the average cat! It is hard to tell how large he was in the picture, but he was the size of a small to medium dog - my son's friends were afraid of him, lol.

That cat is cooler than me

Kobby!!!!

How nice of ye to drop in

Heh, I used to have a cat like that, massive ginger thing he was. He used to lay on the windowsill, completely still, so that anyone walking past might see him and think he was like an ornament or something.

Then he'd move, and it never failed to make someone jump

He also used to shake my hand, never clawed me once doing so, and looked both ways before crossing the road.

Your cat sounds awesome too, Callidus!


Our former cat used to be like the Family Guy squirrel whenever a big dog went by...

The first cat I can remember didn´t bother looking right and left before he crossed the street...

That is saying a LOT then! Thanks, Kobby!




That vid had me in hysterics! I remember your old cat, Mirocu, really awesome cat.

Yeah, Molle. Peace over his memory...

He really couldn´t care less whenever a big German shepard (?) went by

Yes, if you don't mind me bringing it from the other thread, here is Molle laughing at the German Shepherd as it passes:





From all the things you've said about him, Molle had an awesome personality too! (It really shows in this pic of him).

'Rocu had a cat?
