Subject: Fire Hose Anti-Cat Suit + Pit Pocket Shirts

Although we see merit in the Pipin' Hot Pit Pocket Shirt and Fire Hose Anti-Cat Suit, at this time these concepts have not yet moved to production. We encourage you to shop our existing collection of durable Fire Hose goods and function-first shirts for work and play.

Happy April Fools' Day!

Good afternoon and welcome to the almost world famous Ace of Spades Pet Thread. Thanks for stopping by. Kick back and enjoy the world of animals.

Would you like a treat?

Let's relax a little with the animals and leave the world of politics and current events outside today.

Or are there alternate means of control????

I'm just a very serious lurker. The sisters are Spice and Sugar. Sugar lived to be 17, Spice to 19. Next was Zeeva a shelter kitty who I always said was my "Siamese mutt"; she had the seal point coat and blue eyes but not the voice. The vet said was probably 16-17 years old when she passed. Now I am owned by Chessie the railroad kitty. Purebred Lynx Siamese who was surrendered to Austin Pets Alive because of her one white toe and crooked tail. She is a real lover.

You can call me ryobimike. First used that moniker on AOL in the early 90s LOL!

I'm starting to detect a theme in the appearance of these cats. They're all beautiful. It appears that Chessie is another studious MoronCat.

From Jewells:

This is Hope. She is a stray so we have no backstory. They estimate her age at 15. She has multiple problems including hip dysplasia, a growth on her mouth, she's deaf and has no teeth. Still, she's a sweet old thing and loves attention. I spent a lot of time with her last Wednesday and she ate up all the love!

Awww, Hope! We've had some dogs with some of those problems. She does look sweet.

Sangria's Big Day

She's ten months old now, and vet said it was time. She isn't happy with the cone but not too grumpy!

Lirio100

Those are some wide kitty eyes! Best wishes to Sangria for a quick recovery!

I post as Sgt. Mom most places, and I have sent you pics of our various pet morons, notably Miso the white kitten disguised on the fake snow under the Christmas tree.

Well, Miso - barely eight or nine months old herself, had gotten out and had a brief romantic interlude with a handsome ginger tom. Our fault, since we didn't think she could go into heat without making a noisy business about it ... but anyway, in late January, Miso produced a litter of six kittens, whom my daughter nicknamed "The Marshmallows" - two Toasted Marshmallows, one Lightly Toasted, two Fluffy Marshmallows and one Plain Marshmallow. Miso allowed us to handle the kittens as soon as they were born (on the living room sofa, as it turned out - which fortunately had a washable cover.)

The Toasteds, the Lightly Toasted, and one of the Fluffies have all gone to their Forever Homes, and the other Fluffy is spoken for. But the Plain Marshmallow - a female white shorthair - is still available. She is charming, affectionate, and basically already human-oriented. She was the smallest and last-born of the litter. If there are any South Texas Morons - especially if they are writers - who would like to adopt a blue-eyed white kitten of an affectionate nature - let me know. (Pics of Miso and the litter on the last day they were all together, and of Plain Marshmallow are attached.)

"The Marshmallows"! And Miso!

A great opportunity for a lucky Moron to adopt a beutiful kitten. Let us know . . .

More cats than dogs today! Thank you each and everyone for sharing your pets with us.

If you start feeling nostalgic, here a link to last week's Pet Thread, the Ace of Spades Pet Thread, March 25 Some special PetMoron stories and photos there.

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.
