Long story short—Rexie is 2 1/2 yrs, got him at 3 1/2—4wks, unweaned, of course; and I am Mommie.—Shirley

You know, in a way that’s true. He does crouch and hunt, kind of. But when he plays with Jim, he’ll play like he’s going to attack (lurking around a corner, etc), but then he lets it go. I did fail miserably in the litter box area. He uses it faithully but doesn’t do a good job of covering the mess!

He’ll jump at a stick with string, (but lately, not as high - that’s probably the extra weight).

One of his favorite things to do, after he’s destroyed one of the stick/string things, is to use it as a battering ram. See this URL - The pix are about a year old, but you get the idea! <jumi-shirley-butler.com>—Shirley

Wow. I am many days late in getting to this thread (lotta junk ’round these parts lately, eh? ;) ) but I can’t believe how much darker he got with age! I have only had Jasper since August and he is around 14, so I don’t know what he looked like as a young spry guy, but I’m sure much lighter and boy do I wish I had some pictures of him from back then

Pam, Jaspar is gorgeous. I love his angular face. So exotic!

If you want to get sick of Rexie, check out his site. I make hubby sick that I take so many pix of my baby, but . . . . . . . ! <cards.webshots.com>—Shirley

I used to have two cats, but two years ago, I had to have one put down to kidney problems.

Now my youngest (well not really, he’s about 8-9yrs now) has taken up a nasty habit of howling, yowling (hard to describe the sound) at every opportunity... It drives me and my partner nuts.

We’re very busy and we try to spend time with him and make a big fuss when we’re not working but it just won’t stop.

He will be sleeping on the bed with me, then get up, go to the end of the hallway (at other end of house) and let out a howl that’s enough to stand the hairs up on the back of your neck...

We don’t want to get another pet as we want to travel and getting pet sitters is hard and expensive... So I’m afraid he’s going to have to stay alone...

Any suggestions on how to stop him from howling like he’s being tortured? He’s very spoilt with his food and he gets lots of cuddles and time outside but apparently it’s not enough....

Help please...—Kazzia

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Oh boy! Who could get sick of THAT little face?!!! I just sat there and looked at pic after pic after pic and said "hee. hee. hee! heee heee! aww! heee hee!"

Good thing my husband is in the other room and doesn’t have to listen to me.

Oh, and Jasper says thanks for the compliments! ;)—kitkat
