The reappearance of this thread had me putzing around trying to snap photos of my cats, which was fairly comical because my cats could care less about posing for pictures.

I love when this thread resurfaces. Nice job, Survival.
Great shots, all. HardlyVisible's Heather, what a beautiful matriarch.
And yanqui, Richard Parker looks ready to fuk some sh!t up.
Reasonable bet that Monolith's barn cat is hypermetric; if truly barn-born, would suspect panleukopenia exposure. No head-bob though, and appears appropriately visual, so pretty minimal symptoms.
Or she thinks she's a 3-gaited park horse. Dunno.

Dale, I think you got it on the cat in monolith's video. I have worked with quite a few cats with varying degrees of hypermetria and when I saw that clip my first thought that cat had a mild case of it.
On another note November is "Adopt a Senior Cat Month" so if any of you have been thinking about adding a feline to your family give special consideration to cats who are older than 8 years old when shopping around your local shelter. Sadly the 8 and up age group faces the toughest time finding new homes and they are generally the mellowest and best behaved age group.

I love when this thread comes up. I don't always comment, but I am always loving on your photos.
Richard Parker, what a great name for a cat.

Richard Parker - wasn't that the name of the tiger in "Life of Pi"
Yes, indeed. I would recommend the movie. Some would agree, others no.

I didn't want to see the movie for the same reason. I thought about that book for weeks after finishing it.

^^ Thanks Gnome! I was in a panic and started a new thread.
This one is perfect for asking for help, even though it's not absolutely cool what my cat did. ;>)
Swallowed my guitar pick (Bigger than a dime, smaller than a nickel).

^^ FWIW: the thread I started in a panic and deleted the first post to reduce clutter on the forumz
Thanks for the concern and good natured humor everyone!
Feeding her some butter to induce motility and hoping it all comes out in the end without doing her any harm. I don't care about one less guitar pick, but it would break my heart to lose this cat.

I just found the freekin' guitar pick wedged into the notebook paper I was writing on. Whew!
Gracie must have tucked it in there, but I was sure she swallowed it.
I think she has the talent to be a magician with her slight of paw and misdirection.
