Rivkah as a Kitten

Cats on Tuesday

I came across some pictures of Rivkah when she was little so I decided to do a post of kitten pictures. I haven't been able to find any kitten pictures of Pout, though I must have some somewhere. When I find them I will have to do another post. (Pout was an adorable kitten, fluffy with extra whiskers)

Baby Rivkah and littermates

In case you can't tell, Riv is the one climbing out the bottom left corner. Ben-Oni is the other kitten with a ticked coat and is right behind Riv.

Playful Riv

I hope I find the negative of this photo, and that it's in better shape, sad how scratched up it had gotten.

Tabitha, Rivkah and Ben-Oni

Tabby was born about 3 weeks after Rivkah and Ben (Cheeto is Tabitha's mother, Tabby is the only kitten she ever had). Tabitha was the only kitten in her litter so she was almost as big as Riv and her littermates but not as developed mentally, did not have the same level of coordination... She got picked on a lot.

Trudy did not like wrestling and playing rough, but Cheeto loved it. So Trudy would take care of Tabitha while Cheeto played with Trudy's kittens.

The Cats - A Few Photos

I do not like all the junk in the background, but that's one of my best pictures of Pout. A nice profile, his whiskers pointed forward because he's smiling for the camera. See how handsome he is? Sleek black and white coat, bright eyes. I love my Little Boy.

I did not have much time to write much for this week, so it looks like it's just a bunch of nice cat pictures. The above is Cheeto cleaning out a yogurt container. I've been meaning to send this pic to Cabot, get Cheeto some sponsorship or something. Cabot's Greek yogurt is really good too, by the way, very thick and creamy. Their cheddar is great too, but Cheeto does not like cheese very much.

And Rivkah in a basket. The cats usually like to play under boxes or baskets, but not this one. After I took the picture I realized that Rivkah could not get out. I felt guilty but she was not under there too long, and it made a cute picture.

The Cats

I am a crazy cat lady. I only own two cats, but the four that I live with all act like I'm their human.

Rivkah is also part unicorn

Rivkah is my 11 year-old Abyssinian mix. She will ignore me for days as if forgetting I even exist. Then she sees me, makes eye contact, then this happens:

Cat rolls Cheeto and Tabitha

She can't get enough of me. She purrs like a mad thing, head butts, rubs, tries to merge with my windpipe. Love from Rikah is a dangerous thing.





 

Pout

Some cat owners don't let their cats sleep in their bed... Obviously that's not the case with me. The cats sleep in my bed more than I do. Notice that Rivkah is not in the picture of the other cats sleeping in he bed? That is because Rivkah really hates cats. I'm afraid of what Rivkah would do if she ever recognized her own reflection in a mirror, she might kill herself she hates cats so much. Rivkah usually ignores the other cats and if they get too close she snarls and smacks them. Some nights if it is really cold Rivkah will sleep in the bed with me and hte other cats... those nights I sleep little because she gets cranky if I move, snarling at me, though at least she won't smack me like she does to the cats.
