There's a Zooborns app?

It's rare, but you CAN bleed to death slowly -- the wife of a friend of mine nearly died from a nosebleed that wouldn't stop -- a bunch of home remedy attempts that didn't work, and by the time they got her to the ER she was lapsing into unconsciousness. Had her husband not come home, she would have died, for sure.

Theo, my mom had one of those. Luckily caught way before unconsciousness, but drs told her without cauterization, it wouldn't have stopped, it was that bad.

Here's our tabby boy, TC. He looks a lot like Amy's Switch.

Here's our ornjboy, Punkin. Not so floofy, but very soft and plushy.

They're safe in their familiar home, their every whim being catered to in our absence by StY. We miss them both.

There's a Zooborns app?

There is, and it's even free!

It's not working right now though, even after I tried deleting and reinstalling it, which makes me sad.

I was wondering recently about TC and the orange dude. Glad to hear they are doing well. Man, I think I "met" Bev in the early days of TC's life with them over on the cat thread on TableTalk.

Loki snagged his nose on the carrier at the last vet visit and since then has gotten a chapped nose on that spot now and again. So I put vaseline on it, but it never lasts long. But lickylickylicky.

Tommy, your calico tabby tuxie girl is very pretty!

There's a theory I've heard that malnourished tabbies' coats are primarily grey and black, and when their diet and shelter improves, their coats take on brown coloring. I know it was true of TC. He had no brown at all in his coat when we trapped him. Two or three months later, his belly fur was mostly tan and reddish brown.

Yes, sarameg! Cats and Anarachs at TT. Devi and TC must be the same age, roughly.

Dev's gonna be 14 this year. Yikes!

I got Devi at 16 weeks or so, she'd been in the shelter since birth. Not a white undercoat, more milk with coffee, but the grey is grey, not brown. Mister Kitty, I can't speak to, he was probably a couple years old when adopted from a shelter by the owners I know. He did have a rough time of it, got sick within a month (I have the records) that require hospitalization, but he pulled through with the side effect of cloudy eyes.

Loki...well, he was a product of Ms. Louise's caretaker's undfixed girlcat, not her first litter. But he probably had an ok go of it.

But the markings and grey and brown are different enough, I suspect just parentage.

Beverly I have an orange (oz) and a brown (clio) tabby too: [link]

If you want to cheat and see the old versions of the gawker sites, so far commentadmin.io9.com and commentadmin.jezebel.com give you the entire old versions.

For now.

Don't tell anyone I told you.
