A Photo of My Kitty.


I want to get her a new little kitten to call her own!

1. She's beautiful!
I'm a strong believer in having more than one cat. There is not much humility in an "only" cat.

2. Very Pretty
Yes, you should get at least one other cat. What if you lived with giant beings who loved you, took care of you, and did their best, but you never saw another of your kind ever?

Plus it's fun to watch cats being cats.

She's a looker alright :). Very pretty kitty.

I just got a new one to keep mine company.

They're just in the past few days starting to get along and act like . . . well, not exactly friends, but there isn't overt hostility any more :).

5. Nah, it just takes a while for them to get used to each other. . .
Especially when the older one is used to being the only cat around.

Most people recommend that if you get a new kitten, get one that's younger and of the opposite sex, they say they tend to get along better that way.

6. Beautiful! She deserves a friend
I recently got a second cat - I had a 2 year old male, and I got a little female kitten. I kept them in separate rooms for a couple days (they sniffed eachother under the door), and after that initial period they've been together and it's been good. There have been little squabbles, but mostly they're good friends. They sometimes clean eachother - which is heartwarming. Also the little one tends to follow her "big brother" around.

25. My groom each other too
I get a kick when one puts its arm around the other to hold them "still" while they lick them. They also sleep together, eather like spoons or like a Yin Yang sign.

14. LOL Yes you should
but I used to have the G2 (I also have the PowerShot G5) and there is not much difference, feature wise, between it and the G3 :)

But yes, always read the manual! :pals:

23. Awwwwwwwww
She's so pretty! Bertha and I love tuxedo cats. Two of our six indoor cats are tuxedo kitties, and one of the ferals we feed is a tuxedo kitty.

Life would be so empty without our furry kids. We love 'em all. We even love the 'possums that come up and eat the leftover cat food at night.

24. Beautiful photo! I found a kitty just today. My neighbor called me
because she thinks that this cat who is hanging out in her neighbor's yard is abandoned. I brought food, as did she, and we were able to get pretty close, but the cat is still too scared. Beautiful cat. Tri-color, long-haired, green eyes and a huge puffy tail.
