#2 Brave man. Scare a cat like that, there ain't no way I'm reaching to pick it up.

#4 I have an 18 pounder that looks just like that. Male tabbies, according to our vet, are the mellowest cats. Ours are. Kinda like Tommy Chong, only dopier.

Now, our torty would have killed a dozen or so before the SWAT teams got her.

#5 How could she not notice when she stopped for gas? Hey lady, I hear the CIA is hiring to fill Mike Scheuer's job. You've certainly got the right qualifications.

#6 We had a beautiful white Turkish Angora kitty who used to lurk in the tree and drop down on the vinyl top of our '77 Dodge Royal Monaco as it pulled out of the driveway...

I miss that cat.

#7 Maybe it was just feeling suicidal about having the name "Cuddle Bug."

#8 Male tabbies, according to our vet, are the mellowest cats.
Mellow with people, that was Sam. He was hell on wheels with any cat or dog that dared to even look at his yard. He ran 27 pounds at his top fighting weight, not one ounce of fear in his whole body. Dogs took one look and remembered they had something else to do.

#9 We had a 20 pounder orange tabby. Smart cat. Used to bring us rabbits and lay them out on the counter nice and neat. One night my sister forgot her keys and crawled through a window to get in the house. He jumped on her leg and bit her. He was protecting his family.

#10 I will second the mention of a vet saying male tabbys are mellow. My cat during the period Jr Hi-College was 21 lbs of lazy,KFC loving,snoring fuzzball. Jerrymander was one of a kind. The current cat, previously menntioned grey-white non-tabby Martin is very nice but not super mellow. Too many mice, and parts of mice, I have to clean up in the kitchen, living room & elsewhere...

#12 The cat does look amazingly mellow... he must not have a nerve in his entire body.
Is this the Friday cat-blogging thread?

#13 Yep, Sgt. it's a new/old blog tradition. That said I had a cat that used to hide in the car so he could ride to the mini-mart. Only made himself known when we were halfway there.

#14 We used to have a Lab/Mastiff cross that would make a run for the car whenever he heard keys jingling. Up-side; you always knew he was there. Down-side; dragging a 90+lb Lab/Mastiff out of the back of the station-wagon....

#15 I thought tabbies were grey cats. This one is a marmalade.

#16 Tholulet3578, there are two models:
A) Grey Tabby
B) Orange Tabby

Tabby refers to the darker, tigerlike pattern. Meowwwrrrrrr.
