madame Cally picspam...

[munchkin]

*cackle* I promised to do this back in July! I did warn everyone that my middle name is Procrastination?

So, under the cut is my picspam of madame Cally, my feline companion and nemesis of 8 years.




She's only about 10 weeks old here, and was a ball of fluff with colour splotches bigger than her! I apologise for the quality of the photo. I didn't take it myself and there's a limit to how much I could clean it up.


For such a stern, evil-eyed looking cat she is actually a sweetie!


Just showing off her back markings and bushy tail. My home help lady keeps threatening to shave her. *g*


To give you an idea of how big she is! That's my foot. Mind you, I'm a size 1. *veg*


Cally playing with the Christmas wrapping last year.


I love this shot. She's on her favourite perch in warm weather - the top of the car. You can almost hear the 'bloody hell, she's got the camera again!'... *g*

Such a pretty, crazy-coloured cat! :D

Isn't she just! I fell in love with her socks the moment I saw her. She came from an unplanned litter that ts5000's sister-in-law ended up with and she saved her for me because I have a huge love for white socked cats. *g*

Oh, that and the fact that madame Cally and I have similar strengths of will... hence the stares I often ending up photographing.

I get almost the exact same look from mine as Callie has in that one where she is sitting on the wrapping paper. Especially when he has taken up abode on some piece of paper.

She is gorgeous, a veritable riot of colour and action in her fur. The reds, the mahoganies and the deep and darker bits of colour, with the gorgeous big feet of a large, long haired cat. Stunning example of the feline. Oh and I think the added fuzziness of the kitten photo just says it all... small, splotched ball of cat fluff. :P

Mind you, she is not very fluffy compared to my parent's cat - who does get shaved once a year in summer to reduce the gnarling (she will not tolerate brushing and needs to be knocked out) and matting. Ship in full sail that one. :P

I'm lucky with her fur. Her mum is actually a tiny short-haired tabby who hadn't been watched close enough before being desexed. Her mum and aunt - litter mates - had been taken down to the vets to be desexed at 6 months of age, only to be told they were too late.

No-one ever saw daddy. All we know of him was that he was big, fast and furry! Cally is more than twice the size of her mum, but is classed as a medium coat rather than a long coat.

And she loves being brushed. I only have to wave the brush at her and she comes running. Her sister (the only other surviving kitten from that litter) is exactly the same. Sooty belongs to ts5000's mum and is a tiger stiped grey medium-coat tabby and she absolutely adores being brushed.

No idea who the parent's were of the parental's cat... clearly one was a short hair and othe other a persian. She has a very shorthair sort of body and face, and the most incredible, black, long persian fur. Very odd. Cally is perhaps the closest I've seen to her in looks.. if not colour. :P

Hehe, Nermal is just contrary and touchy about touch in general... not very well socialised as we got her too young due to the death of her mother. Mine loves being brushed though with a fervour... so I know the feeling :P

What a pretty tortie coat she has! Though I really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that stare when she's feeling offended about something. *g*

Thanks for sharing these.

Though I really wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of that stare when she's feeling offended about something. *g*

Being a cat is serious business! *g* But her stare is definitely much worse than her bite. The only people she snaps at are the vets and that is only during her annual. She can tolerate her regular Revolutioning and claw clipping with just a mighty squirming, but the annual examination is another matter. *nods*

Is that Ebony in your icon?

[luthien.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's Ebony, though the picture was taken about ten years ago, when she was young and sleek. She's a bit more prosperous-looking now. *g*

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

She's a bit more prosperous-looking now.

Oh, I like that phrase! It covers a multitude of sins. *g*

Cute cat. Very, very fluffy looking. I don't have pets as I can be allergic to certain types of cat/animal fur, but I'm never quite sure exactly which types set me off and which I'm okay with, so it's safer just to go the route of not having a pet.

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

Cally would knock you off your feet then! ts5000 is allergic to cats too, and has to keep her hands from her face when over here. She's doomed! I've got Cally and her mum has her sister Sooty... *g*

[beeej.livejournal.com]

Aw, she's a beauty! :D

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

*nods* She is pretty - in a stern, rip your heart out and eat it sort of way. Fortunately it's all bark. *g*

Cute cat!!

PS Have just arrived home and am now back on LJ and email properly. We could receive email while we were at our friends, but couldn't send it (looked like the problem was with wanadoo), and it was difficult to read porn with three boys aged 14, 12 and 10 staring over my shoulder unexpectedly!! I did manage to get some writing done though :)

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

Cute?! Cally doesn't do cute! *see icon* *evil cackle*

Yay! *hugs* You're back and you're writing and you have email! *g*

[fredbassett]

I knew that would offend her! *evil cat-baiting cackle*

Yep, I'm back, email seems fine, and if I can tidy up one fic, there might even be Xmas porn at some point!!

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

Yay for xmas porn!!!! *shifty look*

Oh, did you see the Connor vid on the new Primeval site? There's a link to it in a recent post on primeval_itv. *evil cackle*

[fredbassett]

I did, and have been discussing with bigtitch. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but the producers clearly intend to provoke us!!

[oddegg.livejournal.com]

Awww. She's a beauty!
I miss having cats. Never had less than 3 growing up but we're not allowed in the flat we have now. I shall gaze at your's as a substitute!

[munchkinofdoom.livejournal.com]

Aw... gaze all you want. Cally loves the attention. *g*

*hugs your catlessness*

[kukalaka.livejournal.com]

Aww, cute pics. My cat and my sister's cat also love to play with (wrapping) paper.
