*hops into pet thread like one hops into a fun pile of autumn leaves*

I'm loving the pics, y'all.

Aska in fluffball position makes me melt. Everytime I find one of ours sleeping like that I just want to squish my face right in and cuddle. But they don't like that so I have to squeee quietly on the side and just watch.

I am blessed that Aska actually loves cuddling always, so I usually just dig my fingers into her soft fur and then she goes onto her back so I can scratch her belly. I love her so much! She also lets me kiss her and cuddle her with my face

But that is what makes her so special, all my other cats were like you described

I love everyone's animals and their stories <3

Here are mine

Bastet or just Bass (like the fish not the instrument). She just had her 14th birthday and she is my everything

My other kitteh, Mouse. She just had her 11th birthday. I found her on my porch on a rainy evening (it was Thanksgiving, as a matter of fact). She was very tiny and plagued by ear mites and fleas. Now she is fat and happy

Smudge has quite a reputation in the house as entertainment for everyone else.

She offers group activities too! This picture is dark but I was afraid if I moved to turn the light on, Bass would get up. She is on the bed right in front of the camera.

Do you think watching hamsters lowers cat and dog blood pressure like watching fish does for humans?

Here's some pics of my furball, Pulla, and how he has changed over the years:

He's my one true dog love, I can't imagine ever loving someone so much. He's lazy and stubborn, but also very intelligent. He dislikes strange people, but loves to cuddle with family members. He rarely barks, but he does "talk" with grunts and snores kinda like a pig. He loves cheese and cold stone floors (he gets hot easily). He senses your feelings right away and is always ready to comfort you if you are sad. His mind is easily read from his face, he smiles and frowns just like people.

Ok, attempt two...
I love seeing everybody's furry/scaled/feathered friends!

I have to brag on my little rescue girl, Drusilla.  I found her at a shelter a little over 6 years ago.  She is our clinic's blood donor because she is amazing for blood draws.  She actually donated today to *hopefully* help save a little pup that got into rat poison. (Keep your fingers crossed for me!)  She is goofy as all get out.  I did a DNA test shortly after getting her, it came back 25% unknown, 50% Basset hound, 25% Staffordshire terrier! 
So patient!

She loves going on boat rides at mom and dad's!

And snuggling with the king of the house, Custer.  We acquired him when my husband's parents moved out of the country and couldn't take him with.  Luckily they get along very well!

I also have two Leopard geckos, but they don't tend to stay still for good pictures! Mikey I picked up at a shelter 5 years ago.  He's a mega morph.  George I've had for 19 years, she was a juvenile when I got her, and she's still spry as can be!
And the newest addition.  His stable name is 'Grey.'  Original, I know.  I'm trying to come up with something more fitting!  This was taken the first time I met Grey, he had been turned out to pasture with minimal attention for 5 years.  He let me walk up, halter him, saddle, bridle and hop on without spooking!  We are currently working on trust and ground manners.

That is my current menagerie.  I love all my rescue babies!

Marlin, I am so sorry for your loss. Pepper sure looks as if though she had a lovely and happy life while she was here.

Thanks, Sukeile    She was a darling little thing. Bit of a blow to lose her so early.


All of these photos are just lovely to look at, everyone

This is our mutt, Nova. She's gorgeous, stubborn, and mean as well. She does not like men or children. She BARELY puts up with my 9 year old. We gather she's about ... 7 or 8 now.

(After we had her shaved down for summer.)

She was found by my almost mother in law, eyes and ears not even open yet, in the woods in a taped up diaper box. My boyfriend instantly took to her, she's his baby, his soul mate. And, she can't imagine being with any other man but him.
