Default VERY friendly cat...

While driving around residential areas on my motorcycle I spotted a cat chasing a squirrel up a tree. The squirrel turned around after a few feet to "face off" with the cat. I stopped the motorcycle and shut it off while I watched, but never got off the bike.

After about 15 seconds the cat saw me watching it from across the street and walked over towards me.

So the cat walks right up to the motorcycle and then JUMPS ONTO THE SEAT in my lap.

Shocked, I pet it for a minute or two, then the cat hops off the motorcycle and resumes it's stand-off with the squirrel.

Weird moment for me.

Not sure how I got a duplicate thread, and I can't find a "delete" option. Sorry.

I made this video of a friend's kittens. Actually a friend's
stray's
kittens. The stray showed up at their apartment patio and
loitered for 2
days. They decided to let it in and feed it. The next day they
had 3
kittens in their bathtub!

Let me know what you think, and if you like it feel free to
share.


WOW! Those ears look like there might be some Scottish Fold genes
in their ancestry.

Those kittens are absolutely adorable. Are they now permanent additions to
your friend's household?

I do have one suggestion. Could you suggest (diplomatically) that your
friend cut the strings that can be seen where the kitten is sticking his/her
head through a hole? Those strings form a loop that could strangle even an
adult cat, but especially a kitten.

Or possibly their ear cartilage hasn't hardened yet enough for them to
hold their ears up- all kittens are born with their ears folded and
it's about 3-4 weeks before their ears unfold enough to stand up- the
mum has normal ears then again the Scottish Folds come from a
mutation

Wow, how fuzzy and wobbly and sausage shaped! You had the camera so
close to them, they look huge. I want one.

Exactly what I thought! Of course I've never seen newborn kittens but I
think you're right about the Scottish Fold thing. They are terribly cute!

Yes, I was concerned about that, too. Even with an adult cat I keep all the
cords from my blinds away from Persia so she doesn't accidentally get caught
up in them. It's too easy for a curious cat to not realize they're getting
themselves in trouble.
