A place to Humblebrag about your animals.

You're right the one on the left is male.  We named him 'LittleGuy' because he was a stray cat and when we tried to get him to come to us we would say 'come here Littleguy'  he was about 7 months old  but not neutered.  Have you ever smelled a male cat spray?  It's pretty rank!  We got him fixed right away.  

Anyway he's the most nurturing cat, for a male.  The smaller one in that picture is a female.  We got her from an ad in the paper 'free kittens'  And brought her home when she was about 7 weeks old.  The male, Littleguy took to her right away and washed her all over, like he was her mother. Her name is Bella named after Bella Goth, not that she's my favourite sim but I like the name Bella lol!

We had a dog but he died in April.  I still cry all the time for him.  We loved him so much.  LittleGuy loved the dog. He even washed the dog's head and Littleguy would purr and purr as he did it!

The cat was grieving when the dog died. He wandered around the house at night mewing softly, like he was looking for something.  he did that for a few nights in a row.  So we got another kitten to take Littleguy's mind off the dog.  That kitten is Mary-Jane.  She is now 7 months old and she is so funny.  I'll post pictures of her.  And Littleguy washes her and cuddles her but more importantly he plays and romps and chases after her and Bella.  They are so funny to watch.

Sorry for the huge story.  

J Mzungu Oh wow, I just read your post about your dog Bamse. I am sorry you feel he had such a tough life and that you couldn't do more for him. But I also think that he knew you loved him and it made his life worth living. It takes a big heart to love an animal that has psychological damage. He reminds me a little of one of my present dogs Cloppy - he was abandoned several times, was very sick as a puppy (almost died and was in intensive care) - he is both very loving and a nervous wreck. The first years, he destroyed everything in sight (thankfully nothing alive except maybe a few poor plants) - the furniture, books, electrical plugs, clothes, his own bed, he even made a complete hole in the wall from scratching and biting (I could stick my arm through the hallway wall and reach the bathroom through the hole he made). I guess with his medical bills and his destructiveness some people would have given up, but of course I have no regrets that we believed in him. He is not destructive at all now, is so brave and noble-hearted, although he's a terrible barker.

I love all animal lovers without exception, but I have great respect in particular for those who take care of pets with health problems, whether physical or mental, to the best of their ability, even if they are not "prepared", wealthy, knowledgeable. J Mzungu you did the best you could for Bamse, and I'm so happy you were in his life. It's my personal belief that selfless love is never misplaced, and that animals and people do come back (I suscribe to Einstein's "Energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be changed from one form to another") so you never know, maybe you can recognize those happy crazy eyes in another pet you have one day :-*. Sorry for such a long post! Animals really tickle my feelings.

And almost forgot - I searched for the ugly kid you mentioned and couldn't find her. I only saw a lovely little girl with a big heart and shy eyes.

simtress - lol, your husband sound like a real comedian Watch out, Gabriel Iglesias and Eddie Murphy
Im glad you enjoy this thread! Oh, and your cats are adorable! My fave cat Sotis was black with white spots too, I used to be a sucker for black and white cats.
Well, I still am but right now I really want a orange cat and a grey one, I've never had those.
I can understand your fears... I was always affraid of my cats being hit by cars, we lived next to the most popular road out of the town... I've always been afraid that my last cat probably died by being hit by a car.
I think as long as you keep your cats activated, play with them, it's perfectly fine to have them as indoor cats. Alot of people tend to forget their cats and dogs have a need to play, lol, but then again, like my moms oldest cat, he hates playing... his kinda grumpy, but he straightend out after I tought him a few things, so his nice now but he still dont like to play.
Oh, and I'm so sorry to hear about your dog's death.... I get heart broken just thinking that I will probably outlive my dog... It's not right that animals dont have as long lives as us humans... It's not natural.
Little guy sounds like a sweet cat!

Ghost00 - OFCOURSE YOU CAN TALK ABOUT YOUR BUNNY!!!!
I think I've mentioned that I used to have two bunnys before in this thread... maybe I even posted a pic...? I dunno, lol.
But the thread is about animals, so it does not have to be cats or dogs, all animals are welcomed! I think we've had people post their horses and birds aswell.
Fifi sound like a really cute bunny! When I only had one bunny she was exactelly like Fifi, she came to us, loved cuddling with us, follow us arond and everything, but then we got the second bunny she was like "I dont need you anymore" lol and she became a little..... well... it rhymes with witch.
If you ever do manage to get a picture of Fifi, dont hesitate to post it, we would love to see Fifi.

Bakie - I'm so sorry to hear about your bunny I read up on Myxomatosis and it sounds horrible! I'm so sorry to hear it, my beautiful guinea pig, Hubbe Bubbe, also died because a horrible sickness, I dont remember the name but pretty much the guineapig slowly becomes paralyzed from the back legs and up until they are completly paralyzed. Then its lungs stop working and it suffocates to death. Horrible.

believe&become - You've had a bunny too? Wow, alot of bunny people up in here! I'm so sorry to hear your Bunny Bunny isent with you anymore though He looked really cute, was he very attached to people too?
I miss my bunnys too, but like you I like to think they are hoping around in bunny heaven, and hopefully Kola can breathe properly.
Aww, bless little Cloppy. They do sound alike, and I can understand poor little Cloppy. Alot of people just give up right away when a dog destroys something in the home, but I'm so glad you kept him. Poor guy, he was probably just nervous and scared, but you keeping him made him understand you guys cared for him and werent like others.
Thanks for your kind words, I was just a kid, but I did try my best to help him when I was at my dads house, unfortantly I dident live there all the time, just every other week. But when I was there, I like to think that I just dident care for Bamse, but he suported me too. I hated being there and the only thing that made me happy to be there was being able to spend time with my animals. Bamse, our two cats and my guinapig. If I fought with my dad the animals would feel it and not be so nice to him, and they would lay with me in my bed and make me feel better again.... that's why I love animals... they are so loving and understanding.
They know they cant say the right words, so instead they do all the rights actions and just stays by your side for as long as you need it.
LOL, that ugly kid is there, believe me, she just needs a few years to grow in the wrong direction, lol.

Yeah it was, he was so nice and wonderful. I had a hard time believe bunny, hamsters or Guiana pigs could have personalities until I had him. He was wonderful. I could have him loose with the cats and the dog, no one attacked anyone and he would be happy when he saw me, jump up and climb on the wall of his cage. And if I let him out he'd always climb on top of me and cuddle with me, and If I was sad we used to cuddle with me and lay on top of my face... Although I couldn't breathe so I'd pull him down and hug him instead.... I loved him so much, and In a way I was happy that I got to be with him when he died so he didn't have to die alone or surrounded by my dad and stepmother.... But it was so sad to see your little friend going paralyzed and then having trouble breathing and then eventually suffocating... My stepmother tried calling a vet but they honestly said "Oh, we don't care too much about such small animals... Just let him pass away!" so for around....4 hours he had to endure all this, because the vet didn't care about a small animal... Im sorry, but aren't all vets suppose to care for all animals?! Anyways, I'm sorry about my bummer stories!

I received a new Guiana pig after Hubbe Bubbe's death, because my dad thought it would make everything great.... It didn't, Ozzy was a.... Well... Rhymes with witch. He hated people and bit everyone who dared to come near him... I don't even remember what happened to him, I just stopped living at my dads and then like a year ago I asked him, "Hey what happened to Ozzy?" and he didn't even remember.....

J Mzungu
I think your dad does remember what happened to him, but didn't wanted to tell you or something.
And your right about vets, they should help every animal they can.
