Dammit Alfie....


Blahblah

1,334 views

Here's a comparison of Alfie & Millie playing with the same toy. They're not quite up to posing with each other yet.

Appearances are deceptive though. My sweet, tiny, cute Alfie is discovering his naughty side. I went to put my phone on charge last night and found this:

so I checked some other cables for tiny teeth marks. And sure enough...

And he looks so innocent....

Ruh Roh.   Aflie is innocent until proved guilty. 

Or obs guilty and will never be innocent... but yet never convicted, coz 5 counts of cuteness.

He's getting bigger!!

He is most definitely getting bigger. He eats everything in sight. We feed them in different rooms & tonight we forgot to shut the door on Millie's food. He ate his then snuck in & polished hers off too. He's currently sleeping it off and snoring like a little piggy. His belly is so swollen.

We're predicting that he will be a big chap. His paws are enormous. We're thinking he's part Maine Coon what with the hairy ears as well.

uh I hate to tell you but cute little Alfie's grow up to be big monster Alfie's, my profile pic is my wee Alfie when he was a super cute fuzzball kitten,  he is now a teenage monster cat who loves to bat anything and everything off of tables, bookcases and counter tops.  He still chews wires and my fingers and I have just recently had to replace my house phone as he chewed right through the wire.  As much as he is a monster, he is my monster and I wouldn't change him for the world lol I hope your cutie pie grows up to be a gentleman cat, he is going to be a very handsome boy and Millie is adorable as well.

Edit - P.S sorry for the very large picture, didn't think it would come out that big.

My feline headship was caught last night teething on my iPhone charger.  WTF Spooky.  At 10 years old??

Dammit was a name in our house this morning - but for a dog, not a cat!

I feel your pain - hopefully Alfie will grow out of the chewing stage.

(Are you sure it wasn't the dog?  Snuck in from a neighbor's house, maybe?) :D

@caszandra your boy is gorgeous. I think Alfie's eyes are going to be that colour. I love the big pic. I love kitties so seeing everyone else's makes me go all gooey.

@clueliss that is indeed odd if it's never happened before. Some sort of kitty shared thought process going on? Scary!

@SpoonfulOSugar alas it was all Alfie. He's been caught in the act chomping down on a laptop charger since then.

Poor guy probably thinks his name actually is Dammit. He's also found a new game that involves sneaking up behind Millie, swatting her backside, then running away. My poor big girl is developing a twitch and walking warily around the place now.

My mother was once disappointed that one of the strays my stepfather took in was female and not male.  She wanted to name the cat Dammit Stepfather'sName.

Love the new Alfie and Millie pics.   I have had puppies, foster dogs with all kinds of behavior problems and kittens.   The only time I lose wires is when I have kittens.   I don't ever puppy proof because I've never needed to, but when we have a kitten I actually crate them (we have a german shepherd size crate for puppies/kittens so they have plenty of room) when I can't supervise constantly because I lose more stuff with them.

Funny whisker story.  We got our now adult cats off Craigs List when they were about 12 weeks old due to the loss of one of our cats that was causing a lot of grief for her lifemate cat.   So I wasn't really planning on getting new baby animals, because we also had a relatively young Papillon at that time.  He was maybe 7 months old or so when we got the kittens.

When the kittens were little, we used an x-pen in the middle of the living room to let them get used to having dogs around and to let the dogs get used to having kittens around.  Then we had them spayed and they both developed seromas and had to be crated for quite a while (something like 6 weeks), so they didn't have full run of the house right away.

After they we had released them into the wild of the whole house, one day I noticed that one of them had virtually no whiskers on one side of her face.   I thought it was a bit weird that I'd never noticed it before and kind of made a mental note about it.    A week or so later, I noticed she had basically no whiskers on the other side.   So I was like well WTF?  Are her whiskers falling out?  breaking off?    I grabbed her sister and she had all her whiskers intact.

A few weeks after that, I see the puppy and the whiskerless kitten hanging out near each other and thought they might start playing and I'd get some pics.  That is not what happened.  As I sat there watching, the stupid kitten sat there while the puppy carefully chewed off the little bit of whiskers that had grown back.

She was like 18 months old before she had any whiskers.  He mostly grew out of it, but I notice if she rubs around his face with her face, he will still take a nibble on her whiskers.  He doesn't do it at all to the other cat.

Here is a picture of them together.

LOL it looks like this is a pic of him nibbling her whiskers.  I just grabbed it because it was the 2 of them together.

My younger cat teethed for like 9 months.  I took her to the vet for something else, and the vet checked her teeth and exclaimed "She's still teething!?!?"  Why yes, she is, and I have the chewed cords to prove it, lol.

      I can’t imagine street parking over night all winter; how does your car start without being plugged in? Here the engine would freeze. 
      My area is kind of the opposite of cookie cutter. The colours and design couldn’t be the same as houses beside or across the street from each other. 

      I plug in. If I parked in the garage I wouldn't plug in. But the garage is one stall and it's not super fair for me to put my car and not his truck (which wouldn't fit anyway). Also winters are getting warmer overall and I don't need to plug in as much, as I usually only plug in when it's below 20F. I use an extention cord. 

      The garage is more useful for storage. We have so much outdoor stuff and only like 1600 square ft in this house. Great location and it's a tight housing market.

      Not an excuse because he’s always been terrible, but I do think he’s going senile. The past five years he’s gotten more and more crotchety as death looms closer. The world will always seem more bound for apocalypse when you are losing touch with culture, technology, and youth.

      Benessa were recently on a podcast (Elisha and Katie). My god, they are BORING. Every single movement made with Jesus in mind. This is what Stevehovah was probably like and n his late 20s. They're allergic to letting it all hang out and having a little FUN.

      She’s posting recipes again. I can understand making a lot of casseroles with that size family. But every single one seems to be based on cream of glop soup. Their pantry must be crammed with cans of cream of celery. 

      She’s also teasing the name reveal. Between her name reveal and Lawson and Tiffany’s gender reveal, I wish they’d just post and get it over with. 

      I genuinely don’t know anyone who cooks a casserole every night like she seems to. I think she’s just rage baiting because she knows people shit all over these kinds of recipes. This is the way she makes money so she will do whatever it takes to up engagement. It’s why she constantly posts all of her ridiculous beliefs. People shitting all over her in the comments still makes her money.
