Cats, reindeer antlers ... and catnip :)

[wraithfodder]

I was sitting there, minding my own business, taking photos of the little Christmas tree. Once done, I put it back where it belonged, came back to find the cat had moved in on the garland, so I snapped a photo.



And since he was being so amenable, I stuck reindeer antlers on him! Horrifying photos and videos below the cut! ;)

 

A view from above.


The antlers start on his neck/shoulders and immediately slide down (he's tubular) and despite the glare, he actually likes it. He begins to purr... plus he knows I'm giving him kitty crack (aka catnip) ;)

And lastly, a video of the cat snorting catnip... ;)

Disclaimer: No kitties were harmed in the making of this video. ;)

OMG you're Siamese is just gorgeous!!! I also have a Siamese, though she is mixed and thus not tubular, more orange shaped (cause she's kinda fat). Anyways she got none of the tubular Siamese look all of the blue eyes/vocalizations/coloring. Maybe I should take some video of her sometime, she is quite interesting to talk to ;-).

Oh yeah, one whiff of catnip and poof, on the floor! Although oddly, putting the antlers on him makes him docile. without antlers, he goes psycho. Must be a bondage thing ;)

Oh, very tubular. I must have someone hold him stretched out and take a picture! ;) He's older now (12ish) and I hope he does okay. He's gotten a bit gray on one side of the face recently. Unless he stuck his paw in a light socket and I didn't notice...

Hee! Love the pic with the garland - my sister has had to remove the lights from her tree because her cat (whom we joke is a special needs cat) was eating the lights - and amazingly found intact in the litter box (disgusting but true).

haha awesome!!

Oh gosh I am *so* jealous of your Siamese. They are my absolute favorite breed of cats, and SOMEDAY I will have one.

Until then I have a psychotic dumpee, Himilayan thing, and the odd little gay* mutt cat.

The Himilayan came home from work with me one day(I volunteer in an animal shelter) after I fell madly in love with her while I was pregnant. Though she is totally insane I still love her(I don't know too many cats who will hang upside down from things *shakes head*)

As for the other one he's just *special* I got him when I was in high school shortly after my accident, and hand raised him(his mother decided she'd leave him behind in our school greenhouse). He's most definitely not *tubular* though he'd like to think he is *grins*

Okay I think I've hijacked your comments enough now *g*

My kitty is 9ish. She's already done dumb things to get herself hurt. We acquired her after she got hit by a truck near my mom's place. At the tune of $5000 we fixed her broken leg with a plate and some screws. She is now the Bionic Kitty.

Your antlers have defiled the natural order of kitties on nip. They must be able to roll around!

He is just so cute!! I love the garland pic best!! Though they're all good and the catnip vid, ah, you drug dealer, you!! *bg*

[tavabean.livejournal.com]

His purr is so loud - I can hear it on the vid!
Beautiful cat, I love Siamese.
Does he have one of those long purebred cat names like Rodney's Wraith Worshipper of Atlantis or something?

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yikes! Fortunately my cat hasn't eaten lights, but he has eaten paper, photos...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Thx :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

'fraid his name is simply Ian. Nothing else ;) Yeah, Siamese are just totally different from any other cat.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

He's just a little kitty crack addict ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ha! Yeah, well, he deserves some 'kitty crack' for being turned into a reincat ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Well, the first time we put them on him, he ran out of the room, down the steps and rolled down the steps and the antlers survived just fine ;) As did the cat :)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Siamese are wonderful. Don't know if I could afford one now as breeders charge an arm and a leg!

Insane cats are sorta fun, though, don't you think? ')

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Ah, knock on wood, the cat is doing okay. The dog, on the other hand, has had major surgery. Yeouch, both for the dog and my savings.

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

I'm all for rescue over breeder though, so I wouldn't have to worry so much about the breeder cost ;) Something about where I volunteer I get first dibs on any and all cats that come through(since as 'staff' I see them before the general public).

Insane cats are way more fun than normal cats- having 7 cats running around here I should know as we have the whole gamut covered.

My favorite has to be the declawed one(he was a rescue) who is the toughest cat in a 4 house radius. All the neighbor dogs are scared to death of him because he's so tough(he insists upon living indoor/outdoor which is really rather annoying as he should be *indoor only*).

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've heard of Siamese rescue but there are none around here. Of course, by the time I want a new cat, there could be... Most people around here are buying beagles (gah, and those dogs howl!)

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

Well, we dont have a Siamese rescue that I know of around here we just have animal shelters mostly, but I'm sure if I asked they could connect me with the right people *g*

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

ANimal shelters. Don't think any community is a lack for one of those :(

[mackenziesmomma.livejournal.com]

'My' Shelter is a kind of awesome one, as they only take in the neediest of the needy, from 'death row'(the ones who are about to be euthanized) of the other local shelters, and they keep them as long as they need. We had one cat(Patches/Snickers/Princess/Grump/etc) who was there over a year and a half before she was adopted.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

That's nice!

[celestial-diary.livejournal.com]

Aww, your cat is so cute! It sure looks like he's having a festive season! :D

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heh, he puts up with me ;)

Yeah, Siamese are just... they're wonderful (if not sometimes insanely aggravating)
