Maybe the cat's name is 'Tangerine'?

Here's a story to warm the cockles of cat lovers' hearts ... But first, an illustration of the crisis situation:

Veterinarians save cat found caked with snow
Veterinarians in Montana said they were able to save a cat found frozen in the snow with a temperature too low for thermometers to read.

Dr. Jevon Clark, veterinarian at Animal Clinic of Kalispell, said Fluffy the cat was brought in by her owners after she was found unresponsive and buried in the snow amid 10-degree weather Thursday afternoon.

"I've never seen this. I've been in practice for almost 24 years and she was actually caked in ice, like those ice balls were caked on her all the way around her 360 degrees all the way around her. Her temperature was so low our thermometer wouldn't read it, so we know it was less than 90" ...

Clark and his associate, Dr. China Corum, used heating pads and a heated cage to bring Fluffy's temperature up until she gained consciousness later in the afternoon.

Fluffy was then taken to an emergency clinic as her temperature remained dangerously low, but Clark said she had returned to normal by that evening. ...

Is this live? (natural scepticism...).

 

[Shady]

Yes, I've watched quite a few of them, the chat is at the side of the vid, they are sooo cute

...they are sooo cute...?.

No, they're not...

 

[Shady]

Well the chat isnt cute but the kitties are

 

[Comfortably Numb]

Well the cat isn't cute but the kitties are

It was a failed attempt at sarcasm! All gorgeous!

Cats and peculiar, to us, eating habits.

One day I was grating some cheese and a small spillover landed on kitchen floor.

To my surprise, Cassie showed some interest and duly ate same.

Tried it again, now as an experiment and yes, she loved it.

Played that game for ages and then decided to put some in her dish.

Not remotely interested... sat there awaiting the next, 'stolen' nibble.

Eventually, this inevitability became a ritual!

She wouldn't touch milk either!

Phoo is not always so forgiving.

Imagine... what if cats could talk...

 

[Shady]

That is soooooo adorable lol I always say hello to mine when i come back home and I swear she says it back

Do not doubt...

When my late, sweetheart, wee Cassie was a kitten, she had a predisposition to climb the curtains half way up and hang out there for ages.

So, one day I asked her, 'What's this all about, little kitty?'.

She did respond and I've always taken that to mean, 'I'm a cat, what else did you expect'?

 

[Shady]

Or, bugger off and mind your own business? lol

A talented medieval feline:

Absolutely....!!!!

She had that wee kitty look back, 'What's your problem?'...

 

[Comfortably Numb]

I am totally not into dressing cats up, got this for Phoo though because she does seem to feel the cold more than my other cats, not sure if it's a breed thing with Bengals or not, usually found under my duvet on days like this.

She got out of it once I stopped fussing her, then I gave the heating a blast so she has found a floorboard over a pipe.

Just watched this with my 7-year-granddaughter.

l am consequently instructed to tell you that the wee one gave Phoo a cuddle.

This is on Facebook so it must be true

Was also wondering about early, recorded, origins of cats.

Found this, thought it might be of interest:
