I recently lost my third cat, Steve, some outside creature ate him, but

broken.

My QI

I'm officially down to just three feline QIs right now but
there are the usual wannabe's hanging around (not mine but
they wanna be).

Enness - about 17yo adopted stray, aka Poddy for obvious
reasons
http://pets.webshots.com/photo/41847...75796722DWzKJM
Boofhead - big dopey, lovable, also a rescue cat, about 6yo
http://pets.webshots.com/photo/41847...75796722espVDF
Donut - youngest at about 3yo, dumped on me by an
irresponsible neighbour. She gets a bit bored living with a
pair of sedentary geriatrics lol

Then outside there is a couple of neighbours cats that think
it would be cool to move in - Max (from next door, B&W) and
Twoey (torty from around the corner). They both prefer the
food here. And there are two strays that have taken shelter
in my big shed and are getting fed. Both were starving and
I didn't have the heart to ignore them.

All are desexed, so no little surprises around here lol


I don't count the kookaburra, the blue wrens, two families
of magpies, two seagulls (and I live inland!), the
occasional rosella and innumerable thieving but cute little
sparrows

I have a Havanese-Cavalier X 4year old named Spike.
The love of my life

Ok, this may freak out some folks, but as of today, I still have 4 QIs
although only 3 are in "human" form. I'll explain:

Our sweet Miss Paisley crossed the Bridge on August 24th. But we have her
mortal cremains in a little burgundy box in our library. We plan to bury
her in our backyard under the grape arbor next to Brandy when the rain stops
long enough. My DH is also assembling a few photos for her to take with
her. He has made a beautiful marker for both of them. She would have been
16 on November 27th - the day after my birthday.

Kirby is our "baby". He is 3.5 years old but is still very much "the pup".
He is a Westie as were Brandy and Paisley, but the first male in the family.
He is doing much better now, but I can tell he still misses Paisley. He is
my DHs fishing buddy more than a QI but he still loves to keep me company
when I quilt.

"Scraps" is our sweet calico cat that is really belongs to my son in
Florida. When he calls, his first words are "How's my cat?". When he moved
from our house to Florida, he couldn't take her with him. That was over 6
years ago. I keep telling him "if she is YOUR cat, you owe me a few bucks
for food and vet bills"! But we love her. She was the only kitten left
after a pit bull killed her mom and siblings. That's why he named her
"Scraps". She now loves to sleep under my computer desk when I am working
in my office.

Gypsy is our spirited tabby cat. She found her way to our garage several
years ago and we would leave her some food and fresh water. She was very
aloof and would come and go like the little gypsy she was. Then one day,
she visited us as she normally did, but this time, she brought her 3
kittens - one at a time! Little itty, bitty balls of fur. We (I) named
them Dotty, Stripes and Calico and found a good home for each and every one
of them. Then we had a stern talk with mom. We left for a weeks vacation
on Martha's Vineyard the following year and returned home to see her waiting
for us in the garage. She was so glad to see us as we were to see her.
Then out from behind a bucket comes a kitten, then another. Uh, oh! Time
for another talk with the mom! We set up an area for mom and her kittens in
the corner of the garage so they would be safe. We (I) named the kittens
Sunshine and Shadow. Then my DH was getting ready to go fishing very, very
early the next day when a blur flashed across the garage floor. A third
kitten! He was the spitting image of Sunshine so we (I) named him Ditto.
Now there were three! It took a while, but good homes were found for all
three. But we weren't going to take anymore chances and we sure didn't want
any more kittens. But Gypsy, as she was now being called, was a bit leery
of humans. But we gained her trust and were finally able to hold her.
After a while, we were able to have her spayed and given all her shots. We
brought her home from the vet's and had set up an area in our basement for
her to stay while she healed. We didn't want her roaming around outside
with stitches to heal. It was the first time she had been inside the
house - and the last time she went outside the house! She healed nicely and
thought our digs were much nicer than under the deck and since Scraps took
to her right away, she thought she'd stay awhile. That was 5 years ago.
She is a love and a cuddler and likes to "talk" a lot, I mean , A LOT! She
is my main QI and can smell new fabric as soon as I take it out of the bag!
She tests out each new quilt for me as well. I guess she figures she needs
to earn her keep! She doesn't seem to realize, we'd love her no matter
what!

So, that's my gang!

I have two dogs: Angus is a 14-year-old rat terrier, mostly white with
black markings and brown on his muzzle 9turning gray now) and his
eyebrows; Jojo is a 5-year-old spitz/chow mix, mostly black with a tiny
bit of white on his chest. Angus is old and crochety. Jojo is the
funniest dog I've ever had. He has to have his "binky" (a stuffed thing
I got him when he was brand new) to go to sleep. If he can't find it
he's miserable. They don't bother my sewing stuff too much, unless I
leave a quilt-in-progress on the floor. Then of course they go to sleep
on it.

We have 2 QI kitties -

They are litter mates about 6 years old, gray/brown tabbies.
Snickers is huge - 17 pounds or more and Kit Kat is a few pounds
lighter.

They both want to be involved in whatever craft I'm doing causing
them to be trapped in the craft room when they nap unseen behind
something on the shelves. I have a giant shelf space down the length
of one wall that is about 3 foot deep shelves that go to the ceiling.
Beneath the last shelf is a space for large bins, which makes terrific
hiding spots for QIs. We may have to put a kitty door in there like
we did the bedroom door.

They are so helpful, napping on fabric, chewing floss, yarn, thread or
plastic bondoogle lace. Beads, sequins, spools, rubber stamps and
other stuff must be inspected, smelled, batted around and maybe hidden
under the couch.

Just from your post I can "feel" how much you love those birds! Lucky
feathers they are ;-)

We bird-sat a friends tiel over the summer and wow, did our bird have his
beak out of joint! He really let us know that we belong to HIM and only HIM
.... lol ...
Alpha male syndrome with feathers in my house for 7 weeks. Now that he is
alone again, he is the most loving bird around. Apparently we have ourselves
a people bird!

....... a 2x4 ?!?! YIKES hope he dont bite anything else if he can rip
through that LOL
for such lightweight, birds amaze me with the strength and agility. Ok, so
birds just amaze and amuse me period.

KK, they all talk, some more than others. The Macaw has been quite
chatty lately, and very lovable...she goes in spurts - she is very much
a indidividual. The older Moluccon is a love sponge, the younger
Moluccon is getting there LOL The citron is a little on the nervous
side but and when he's in the mood can be very snuggly. He's the most
chatty of the lot.

We used to raise parrots some years back, including LOTS of 'tiels,
which are the nicest little bird there is. We also raised lorries,
rosellas, amazons, cockatoos, greys, ringnecks, lovebirds, and others I
can't remember!

They definately have people personalities, and know when to use the
right words..for example they never say 'bye bye' when you come into the
room, it's always 'hi!'

As for care, they were all hand fed as babies and so very tame, and I
don't think they are hard to own at all but then I've always been a bird
person; they do take time to care for, and they do need (and sometime
demand) attention. They can be VERY, very loud, and very destructive;
Navar will go through a 2x4 in less than a day!

FOrtunatly with 4 they keep each other good company!

They are my other kids, but kids that will never grow up

oooooooooh I am SO jealous of your Macaw!!! I SO wanted one of those!!
I had to settle for a tiel with a 'tude though LOL He is a sweet thing,
just
awful tiny and a tad bit bird brained... well a whole lot really. Trips
over
his own feet alot. Runs more than flys (no he isnt clipped) and the only
way
he will say pretty bird is if my daughter is in the room and he says
"Pretty
bird Ya!" ........ when we were teaching him to speak, it was always pretty
bird... (he would garble at us at that poing) and then we would say Ya!!
...........

Do yours talk? Do they have a people personality? Are they a hard pet to
own? Can I have it??? snuck that in there Oh they are such a lovely bird!

We got 2 dauschunds from Dauschund Rescue in February. They are both
Tweenies (larger than Miniatures, smaller than Standards).

Ruby just had her 5th birthday, Moose is 1-1/2 years old. Moose came
with the name Tinka, DH decided that he would not have a dog named
Tinkle in the house. DS decided that her name should be Moose.

They aren't really QIs, because they are not allowed upstairs where the
sewing room is.
Ruby decided the first week that I am her person (she is not my dog, I
am her person).
