I got NOTHING done yesterday, and its all HER FAULT!

RedCherry · 2005-10-18, 02:24 PM

We decided our Bengal Cat Loki needed a playmate, so I went to the local animal shelter and found what appears to be a pure 1 yr old female Ruddy Abyssinian cat. (The owners had dropped off an entire family of them). She is small, just a bit over 6 lbs and a year old, and too thin. Loki, is almost 15# by comparision.

Welll she is running the show. She was named Bast, but I'm starting to call her Miss Bossy Britches, lmao. They were following each other doing the whole hissing I'm badder than you yesterday, I got nothing done, worried they were going to kill each other.

Today it is more of a "if you keep 2' away from me, I won't hiss' kinda standoff. I'm hoping eventually they become friends.

Here are some pics of her. She is like the chihuahua of the cat world yesterday, all nervous energy, was hard to get her to stay still long enough to let me take a few pics. She is calming down today.

She has the oddest cry, sounds more like a siamease than anything else. Anyone here familiar with Abys?

If I get a chance today, I'll try to get a pic of her and Loki together to show you the size difference. I hope we can fatten her up, her skin is just hanging on her. All I can do to not go down and adopt the rest of the family.

Quite a cutie.

Bast is a great name. And "Bossy" is a pretty good name too.

My cat names always evolve - "Annie" becomes "Annie Banners" becomes "Banners".

I hear you, I have a feeling she will end up Miss BB or something for bossy britches, lmao. Still learning her personality. We love the whole Gods/Goddess of mythology naming scheme we have going, but personality wize, she fits bossybritches better. Loki DEFINITELY fits his name, he can be quite the trickster.

Wish I'd of had video of her when I was trying to talk on phone a little bit ago, she was wrapped around my neck, wanting attention, trying to rub against the hand that was holding the phone. I found myself leaning further and further back, trying to keep my hand away so she didn't push the phone away from my mouth and ear.

Loveable little cuss.

Thanks Sue. This is why I think she is pure, take a look at 2nd pic down. I read all the traits of pure, and she has them nailed cold.

Very cool RedCherry she sure does look just like that picture! Seems like a lot of people are allergic to cats here! I'm not but my daughter is so cats are out for me also. Your other cat is beautiful also!! I'm a dog fan here never really had a thing for cats. I always thought they are cute and all, but yours are just down right cool looking! Enjoy them!

MindyBlingBucks · 2005-10-18, 03:23 PM

What a beautiful cat!! I'm jealous!!

SirMoby · 2005-10-18, 04:07 PM

That's a beautiful pussy you got there

Bill · 2005-10-18, 04:19 PM

Bee Bee sounds like a good permutation of names. It would stand for both "Bu Bastis" and "Bossy Britches".

Then, of course, when you are mad at her, you always have "You little Bast-tard!". ;-}

I like Bu Bastis, what does that mean? Is it another form of Bast's name?

Bill · 2005-10-18, 04:41 PM

Yep, Bubastis is another form of the cat goddess Bast. It's been a while since I cracked an egyptology book, but I think it's an older regional version.

Those types of names tend to become more staccato as you go further back in time. Something like Cybele (not egyptian of course) was originally "Ku Ba Ba".

So, it's possible that your new cats oldest orginal name would actually be "Bu Ba".

Which of course would be pronounced "Bubba". ;-}

LMAO, I should have titled the thread, I got NOTHING done yesterday, and it was all my pussy's fault.

I've had 3 breeders now tell me they feel she is purebreed that have looked at the pics.

I also found out she is the right size, I didn't know the breed was so tiny, I thought maybe they had her age wrong, and she still had room to grow.

LMAO! Now there is an idea.

RedCherry · 2005-10-18, 06:26 PM

Right now the two have a cessasion of hiss / checking each other out, and are sleeping on their own couches, lol

Bast

Loki

Kassidy · 2005-10-18, 06:34 PM

That is a gorgeous kitty! I really wish I could have a cat but my boys are both allergic.

I had a siamese cat years ago and he didn't like other cats - sometimes they need to be the only cat in the home. Mine definitely had 'only child' syndrome.

That is so sad to have those allergies, I went to school with a girl and invited her over to study with me, not knowing she was allergic, and watch her go through hell, I felt horrible.

I think they are going to be ok, I've seen on the yahoo cat groups 2 weeks to adapt, they are already not fighting and both are making tentitive tries at playing.

juggernaut · 2005-10-20, 01:21 AM

Ok even tho I am not a fan of cats I will say that is a pretty one. One thing I never liked about them is you can be so nice to them and BAM they just scratch you for no reason. Just like when i was 7, I was sitting at my moms friends house, the cat jumpped on me and I started petting it. 5 mins later my mom had to ripped it from my thighs. Thats why now when i see them walking in the streets around here i try to run them over. In fact I have a bumpper sticker on my truck that reads "Looking for your cat? Check under my tires!!" I feel I am doing some innocent young child a protective service. Pretty cat tho, just dont bring it to Jersey and let it out of the house I may be around in my little red ford.
