Anyone love kitties!?

I'm not a fan, haha. But that's because when I was younger, my neighbour's cat - Strawberry - always used to glare at me and scratch me half to death when I made rare attempts to be nice to it.

I have a somewhat amusing cat story though. One of my friends had taken sleeping pills in an attempt to, obviously, sleep, but stupidly smoked pot afterwards. Neither meshed well together, and he thought his room was a jungle, his cat a jaguar, and locked it in his wardrobe (that cat was - and still is - fine, though. In case anyone worried ).

There's some cute cats in here though

That's not from the pot, that's from the sleeping pills. If you stay awake on them, it messes you up. I've done it with being high and without. It's the same either way. I heard voices and stuff. It's really messed up when you just want to sleep. Plus, I can guarantee he was exaggerating to some extent about the "jungle" and "jaguar", or there is a part of the medication equation that he left out, like taking more than he should have in an attempt to "sleep". (Note: sleeping pills do not give you restful sleep. You are just drugged. Several studies have shown this. My source, however, is the Penn & Teller: Bullshit! episode regarding the current sleep industry. Their source is the studies.)


Anyway...

Mina, I loved that. Dramatic cat is dramatic.

I love cats. That might be obvious because I posted pictures of my cats in the PYP thread, though. >.>

I have two cats. My male cat, Johan, is a 13.5 lb. diluted calico that has some Ocicat in him and a genetic freak with 3 chromosomes (xxy- Cats need to have 2 x chromosomes in order to have 3 colors, as the traits for those colors are carried that way). I adopted him when I went on vacation to Vegas last April. We drove from Vegas to Fall River, Ma with him.... when he was only 3.5 months old. I had to hold him the whole time. It was quite the experience. As a result, he is very, very attached. He cries at the door anytime we leave.

He's also very sociable. He lets most people pet him and will readily jump up on a strange person's lap. He's a bit weird, too. He likes spicy foods and doesn't mind smells that would make most cats run, like lemon. And he's smart as hell. It makes him a bastard sometimes.

My other cat, Nina, is a 7 - 8 lb orange and white marble tabby. I have no idea what breed(s) she is and have only an estimate of her age (6 - 9 months). She is absolutely sweet, loving, and has the cutest, tiny meow. She's also a bit of a spazz and loves to play and roll around in clothes/blankets/towels/sheets. She loves my other cat, and he loves her. It's common to see them clean each other and cuddle several hours a day.

As great a kittie as Nina is, there are some problems. She seems to have issues with food and can have no wet food. The poor thing gets really sick from it. She also starts to pant and wheeze if she plays for too long. And she is a cat afflicted with the dreaded poop foot. She tends to step in her poop in an attempt to cover it up. Combine that with the rolling around in clothing, and you have a crying Sarah that has to clean several loads of laundry (again!!). She's gotten a lot better, but I still have to stalk her when she's in the litter box. I don't want that shit all over my house. Of course, now she thinks the litter box stalking is a game. >.<

Both of my cats are named after two main characters of the anime, Monster.

Silly kitties! They both hopped on my desk while I was typing this. =)

It wouldn't surprise me if he did take more than he was supposed to, haha. Thanks for the info though, it's actually quite interesting to hear that
