Ace of Spades Pet Thread, July 16

Welcome to this weekly respite from most of the outside "civilized" world -- the Ace of Spades Pet Thread.

Thanks for stopping by. Get your best treats ready, kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Reminder: For current events and politics, the Thread before the Gardening Thread (a couple of threads below) is almost always an Open Thread.

Do you remember the cute little bunny and doggie on the Christmas blanket a couple of weeks ago? We were privileged to choose a nic for the submitter:

I've literally been away from civilization for about 2 weeks with very limited cell service but was able to catch your Pet Thread on the 3rd with my non-feline fur critters-thanks for featuring them. I also like the mention of Cookie (kind of) the following week.

I only saw 2 votes so I'll go with "Captain Cofevre" ...... even though a lurker blew my cover as Satan! (Someone has to make sure the kitties harvest everyone's souls!!)

Here's an unusual meme:

My only question is how quickly this poor guy (or gal) exacted its revenge on the makeup artist. I'm amazed that it was able to sit so long to get all dolled up.

Don't try this at home.

Just to put everyone's minds at ease, the actual kitties which will be stealing souls (or at least hearts) are pictured as today's first PetMorons below.

updates on my morons, who amongst the 3 guys usually have 1 brain cell that they share amongst themselves, but unfortunately, even that one gets lost at times.

First up is Johnny who got this dapper outfit from my daughter who took the Christmas picture.

Next is Spooky (aka A$$hole) and Peanut (the ginger cat) laughing at each other's jokes. Moments like this confirm that any of their spats are pure BS.

Finally there's Mackeral (aka Wacky Mac) looking ravishing as always.

"Captain Cofevre" (Not Satan)

I like the kitties.

Meet Tico the English Setter, new addition to the pet moron family. Expected to occasionally hunt upland birds but always be a family companion.

General lurker occasionally encountered as ETF3

Tico is beautiful. So alert in that photo! Ready to be both a family companion and an occasional hunter, I would say.

From Bif in the comments back on July 2. This is one of the kitties described here, billed as "Mom's Franken-cat":

Was petting two of Mom's menagerie last week. Two polydactyl (extra toes) Siamese hybrid bob-tail ragdoll kitties. Sweet as the day is long. Goofy a$$ looking cats though. Them extra toes make them walk with a pigeon toed gait up front, while that bob-tail hind end looks like a muscle car all jacked up. Fluffy as the day is long and gorgeous as all get out with the Siamese blue eyes and fur with the rag doll coat.

I don't know about the "Franken-cat" designation. That's a wild combination of characteristics for a kitty, but a beautiful cat. Glad to hear they are sweet. We have had a couple of feral polydactyl kitties who were kinda mean. But then, they were feral.

I have never had any experience with a rag doll kitty.

Mama Delilah in the whelping box with her week-old daughters Ruthie, Diana and Rosalind, born July 1st. For all her wins, awards and ribbons, this will be the most important achievement in her life. Everything she did in the ring is just an affirmation of her quality that justifies carrying on her line.

What a great mama!

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, July 9 We had a great combo hobby/gardening/pet thread submission!

I closed the comments on this post so you wouldn't get banned for commenting on a week-old post, but don't try it anyway.
