Libs/Dems... we love our pets

With all the ugliness in the world today, isn't the TOTAL/unconditional love you receive from your pet, welcome/refreshing?

Chiquita . She’s a lover girl

And Jasper. He’s not quite done being a kitten.

My relentless early morning alarm clock.

Yayay for vacuums that come when called! I don't know what'd I do without mine.

He looks very huggable :)

This is “Old Man Duke” husky/lab he is good for picking up things on kitchen floor as I cook

My dog BACCO named after the God of Wine!!

That surprises me, too. Would love to know why.

Very surprised to see more cats than dogs featured here. All of our four legged friends are worthy to feature here. For some of us, they are our children.

Rosie a rescue dog with sever anxiety shes terrified of people she doesn't

What a wonderful-looking dog! Can you share her/his name?

I know I am one very handsome, very sexy, and extremely distinguished man! (cat)

I am spoiled, like no other. I talk a lot, and because my Mom has always said 'aw, my baby Mama loves you, etc., I call her by name, Yup, I say the word "Mama", every time I see her!

Another pic of Simon Ian...he has always crossed his arms like this. He is laying on one of the large cat scratchers they have, it's shaped like a giant cactus! He also looks a bit stoned because before people come for the Renos, I give him a cat "Xanax"!

Precious pets haiku

Our loyal furry friends

with unconditional love

never fail to bring joy.

My mates. They are wild and will happily kill you if they feel threatened but they know they are safe here. There's water and if they ask nicely they get an occasional slice of bread.

Bonded pair from the shelter, seven at time of adoption. (Two years ago) Tiger (the black one) and Rory (the other one) . Not crazy about the names but Tiger clearly answers to her name so I'm stuck with that. Rory became "The cat formerly known as Rory" until recently when I settled on Penelope. Why Penelope? It just makes me laugh, And it fits her. She's definitely a Penelope.

My Maine Coon boy.

My last dog passed over rainbow bridge, and I decided the expense of another was too much.

Then the cats started arriving. They just turn up and hang about. Feed the hungry, neuter, vet, deflea, it goes on..... What did I do to deserve that? They cost more than the dogs ever did!

I love them really.

I shuuuure do!

Heeeeeere's Abby, actually Abalone.

This is Gadget, aka the Great Guardian Beast of the Computer. She was a rescue kitten from our local humane society in 2016 and as you can see she's made herself right at home as the Queen of the House.

This is Lucifer aka Gremlin, AKA 'You furry little SHIT'. Believe it or not, this fat bastard is not even 2 years old yet

And lastly we have Leeroy 'Derpington' 'Bin-chicken' Jenkins, who sadly crossed the rainbow bridge last year because he had FeLV and just couldn't fight it any more. He was only 3 and is still dearly missed.

Ok here it comes. I live in a densely populated part of Los Angeles county, south of downtown. Cats are everywhere, but they manage to stay mostly out of sight. Now and again a stray cat or kitten wanders over here after getting a whiff of the cumulative pheromones of this particular clowder. So we are on indoor cat #7 and 2 outdoor cats.

Some people have hand-delivered a kitten. Others have, I suspect, dropped the cat off on our lawn. A couple of kittens migrated this way, hoping to join us.

As a matter of fact,new arrival #8 was spotted at the food dish by our door, fraternizing with our indoor felines trough the safety mesh.

So here is the soft-porn:

👆That is Bubblegum. ☝️

This is my Bugsy. He likes to eat.

Ancient Cat and Bulldog.

Mickey is a long story.

My best friend is a vet. Mickey was dumped out the front of his place and spent 12 months in the bush before he was able to be caught. Feral cats are supposed to be put down in Australia as they cause havoc with the vulnerable native wildlife. He was taken out of the cage to get the needle and miraculously he settled down. Dirk (vet) thought he had a chance, so he was spared. His daughter named him so I didn't change it.

Mickey is a prick. He fights, kills and eats deadly poisonous snakes. He goes after the babies. When he's not doing that he is the most affectionate furbaby.

We think he is a Maine coon.

That snake, even at that size will kill a human in no time if bitten. He ate it. Yum!

Crazy bastard!

I have four cats right now and not a single photo of them together. Lol. This braincell-less weirdo is Tennant. He loves to SCREM and steal human food. Constantly. He is extraordinarily long and sits like a proper gentleman with his paws crossed.

This is Smith. She has actually lost some weight since this photo when one day she woke up and decided to stop being an anxiety ridden stress eater and make a play for alpha cat of the house. Chasing the other cats is a work out!

This is Piper. She is deaf but doesn’t let it stop her from being a total terror. She will stalk anything that moves, and is surprisingly quiet given she can’t hear shit. That bell is on her collar for everyone else’s protection. 😹

And last but not least, this is Betty White. She is two years old and all of 6lbs. Teeniest cat we’ve ever had and she takes advantage of it by hiding in the smallest places ever. Never turn anything on without making sure Betty isn’t inside!

Howdy... Minnie is our English Mastiff,going on 7 yrs.and Bruce Banner is our Cane

Corso, he's a wild 2 yr old,

The cats photographed seem have one of two expressions...

You again? Just leave me alone I'm tired...

or Hey, what's that in your hand?

Lily and Elwood say "hi", from St. Paul, MN, to the wonderful SAV gang!

Panther...rescued from neglect and starvation. Not a great photo but gives you an idea how long he is...routinely enjoy telling small dog owners that my cat is bigger.

Chester

This is our newest member, Kiwi. granddaughter wanted her very own kitty, one that would love her best, being out of school for almost two years, she was lonely and needed a friend this is the wild child she chose

I figured it wouldn't be long before there was a forum for the bosses in the family, even if they don't actually wear pants. As soon as i figure out how, I'll be sharing pictures of my owners.

I present "Fluffy". Yes, that's a hairless cat with a somewhat furry face.

When the election was called for Biden, I got so exuberantly drunk that I purchased a hairless cat from a backyard breeder on craigslist. $1300.

Clearly not a show cat, but actually, best cat I've ever had. Super friendly and outgoing, always around and hanging out. Plus due to the lack of hair, you get to learn things you never knew about cat anatomy. Like the bread position they sit in? Look at her right there. She's breading, and you can see that she's actually sitting on her wrists.

This is Titan. His bite is worse than his bark🤓

I just wanted to add that Titan here was a rescue from a puppy mill. Friends of ours were referred to this place for a new puppy (I don't know how). When they arrived, they were shocked and disgusted with the place. She sent me a video before she called the HS and Little Big Man here was the runt in a whole hoard of puppies. I watched a big dog and three puppies basically attacking him when he tried to eat. I told her to grab him for me and she did. The HS was then called and the place was shut down. I would have taken them all if I could have.

When we got him home, he was aggressive (of course) and liked to bite our faces, hence my description above. Lots and lots of love has helped him along. We had a Shih-Poo named Boo that we lost last year and I'm still devastated. Best dog, EVER. She mothered him and helped him so, so much.

Titan has every single ailment that shih-tzus get. Every one. He's had two surgeries on his bladder and it was horrible for him. Anyway, of late, he's been having issues with his eyes. He woke up this morning and they were covered in gunk. I took him in and the vet is running tests and advises he could go blind. This poor little guy has had his share of shit, plus some. I'm just sad right now and wanted to get it out. I hope he doesn't lose his eyesight.

Thanks for reading.

This is Bu-Bear

This is Bu Bear 6 months into lock-down, No groomers were willing to make a house call or have him in their establishment, So I got creative.

This is Rocco. He is a mixed up fellow, He is part Boxer and Part Shar Pei.

We have another kitty but she refuses to be photographed by me.

I love seeing pix of everyone’s pets. This is a great forum. Thanks for creating it, more wine!

Love the name. Precious

This is Lady Molly David Renfield, the Dutchess of Fuzzbutt. Her middle name is "David" because she has wonky eyes like David Bowie's, with one pupil bigger than the other. She's a spoiled princess, and sometimes I regret all the bedtime stories about ancient Egypt I told her when she was a tiny Humane Society orphan, because now she takes for granted that she is a fuzzy Goddess. She is annoyed in this pic, as I'd disturbed her birdwatching.

This is Nala. She is the sweetest pup I’ve ever had. She loves her toys and has them stashed everywhere. When it’s time to play fetch, she drops toy on my feet, and if I don’t move fast enough, she nudges it closer. She brings such joy

My little old lady. Sweet as can be. She choose me when we went to the shelter, where she had be returned 2 times from previous families. Has a thyroid problem and sleeps most of the time.

I am a magnet for stray cats. More so since my 5G vax. This guy showed up 10 years ago, crying and starving. He has behavorial problems and suffers from painful arthritis. He talks all the time!

Snuggly black cat who we rescued from the pound a few years ago. Went there looking to get my daughter a kitty for her birthday. I ended up falling in love with this guy. He was about 5 years old and had been dropped off. He is so loving and loves people. I cannot imagine why on earth someone didn’t want him. oh well, their loss, my gain.

This is Yngwie Meowsteen, he is a 12 year old Norwegian Forest cat who loves to sleep on his back. He doesn't mind belly rubs, either!

Tina and GG!
