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!

MadHatter was a dog guy too....until we got Loki. He is so dog-like in that he will play fetch, we walk him on a leash, will drag his toys over when he wants to play...that he won him over.

I've liked both, although I like cats more because if we need to go into town or go on an overnight trip, I can leave them alone and they can take care of themselves. Always amazed the house is in one peice when I get home though, lol.

Thanks for the compliments on them.

This morning, I saw them get close enough to nose touch without hissing. 2 hours later, Loki couldn't stand it and started batting at her to try and get her to play and negotiations broke down into hissing and yelling.

They are learning that if they stay 2' away form each other, neither will hiss, it is very funny, they were both sitting on the floor, staring at each other last night. You could almost see the line they had drawn between them.

That's one of the things I love about cats too. I'm a little too busy and unreliable to be a proper companion for a dog, dogs really craves attention. But cats tolerate me with amused affection and a touch of disdain for my inattention. I appreciate that in an animal associate. ;-}

Rocketry, chemistry, hunting fish - I'm impressed. I've done them all. Well, bowfishing, not spearfishing. One of the things on my to do list is spearfishing.

I used to love it, did it fairly often for 10 years. I was the only woman in HI I knew that did...it was definitely a male sport. I used a hawaiian sling, could go down about 15 - 20' max due to ears, and could hold my breath over 2 minutes easily. Have dove all over Oahu, some on the Island of Hawaii and Molokai too. I never saw a shark the entire time I dove either, good thing, I'd of probably walked on water getting out of their way, lol.
