The Orange Cat Thread :o)
Sounds like many of us have orange (or orange-white kitties). I would love to see pics of them.
2 of ours are orange-white and both look quite similar to Alisande's Rocky and Peachy.
Here's Lito helping during the kitchen renovation:

11 years agoThis is Jack, my daughter's cat. I love him. DD's landlord found him alone under a bush with the right side of his face chewed badly by a rat or something. He was about four weeks old. My daughter took one look at him and fell in love.

Comments (78)I have 2 more thingscompliments of the squirrels! Guess theyre good for somethingmaybe! I was gonna pull these out and just throw them away, but........... The first one I pulled out came with the acorn still attached to it, so I dug up the second one and theyre both now in pots! I have 2 oak trees! I assume theyre Gamble Oaks (Quercus gambelii), just because thats the most commonly found oak in this area, but I really dont have any way at all to be sure! If they are Gamble Oaks, they could wind up being anything from a single trunked smallish tree to a multi trunk bush kind of thing that looks more like scrub oak! There are two of them planted in one of the display gardens at Paulinos (they sell them), and one looks like a tree and the one right next to it is more "bushy!" Since I dont even know for sure what they are, theres no way to tell what theyre gonna look likebut they do have oak leaves!!! They will also spread somewhat, underground, I believe, and when they produce acorns, they will reseed fairly easily! So if somebody wants to take a chance on what they are and give them a try, Ill bring them along. I recommend them for somebody with a bigger yard, rather than just a tiny residential yard. Theyre still attached to the acorn and have very few roots. I would recommend growing them in the pots for a month or two so you can control the water better than if they were in the ground, and Id recommend you use a wet/dry cycle. Theyre completely saturated now, let them dry almost completely, then resaturate, let dry, resaturate........ Assuming they are Gamble Oaks they like it dry, and letting them dry almost all the way before watering again should help them form roots. Anybody interested?

Comments (11)I've been told that cats hate the smell of citrus. So orange peels scattered around the garden seems to work. Beyond that, two years ago, I planted hot peppers at various places in the garden (a row of chilli peppers on the outside and a few rows of hot banana peppers in the middle). The cats wouldn't even come near them. While I suppose it would be possible for it to be harmful to the cat, I think most people are missing the point. It's the smell that the cats hate. So, unless you're sprinkling it through their main walkway, I sincerely doubt that it would be a problem. Cats have a pretty keen sense of smell. Chances are they'll get a good wiff of it long before they walk in it if you were particular about where you put it....See MoreQ.O.T.D.: How do you store your sewing thread?
Comments (19)Well, let's see... My machine quilting threads are on a wall-mount thread rack. It's overfilled and I need to get another one. Those bobbins are stored in rubber rings, usually hanging on one of the pegs. My serger threads are scattered on a few small decorative shelves over one of my tables. There's not enough room, really, but it's all I have. I piece with these threads, so they're close. These bobbins reside in a tableside basket with my most used tools. My embroidery threads are stored in 12" thread boxes with clear lids. The 3 boxes sit on top of each other behind my embroidery machine. I have a plastic hinged-lid box with some misc. Coats & Clark that I did out of the closet for garment sewing. These bobbins are on a different colored rubber ring that stays with them. I also have a huge collection of older, larger industrial spools of cotton threads. I don't use these much anymore and have considered just tossing them. It seems a bit wasteful, even though I don't use them, so they stay in a shelf/drawer that hangs on the closet system. I think that's about what I have. And today I've realized that I need a few more! LOL...See MoreBlast from the past - 2000 'Get to know each other' thread
Comments (3)Wow....what an amazing list of people.... too many of them no longer with us or active here. It is nice to remember some of their names and their struggles that we shared. Thanks for the memories....See More

11 years agoGreat idea, Petra! Yes, some of these, particularly Lito and Flamey's two, remind me strongly of Peachy and Rocky. I'll add these:
El Niño as a kitten. He grew up to be a very large cat. Gone for some years now.
Peachy looking regal.

This is Mango, my favorite cat of my 3. She has freckles on her nose and one on her lip. She also has a scar on her right eye from a severe eye infection when she was a young kitten and was brought to my vet's office which is an animal shelter also.marilyn_c

11 years agoMy kittens Harriet & Agnes. The first picture is when I got them, the lady said they were 6 weeks. They both had infected eyes, when I took them to the vet she thought they were about a month old. They're happy & healthy now, have been spayed & had all their shots. Harriet is the all orange kitty, Agnes is orange & white.

7 years agoSeeing these pictures of orange cats brought back sweet memories of my kitty Buddha. We adopted him from a shelter and
had 8 wonderful years together before he developed an incurable disease and within 2 weeks we were saying goodbye to him. Orange kitties are definitely special.

7 years agoRaven, I'm so glad you found this thread too. I haven't seen it before but have greatly enjoyed seeing everybody's orange kitties. It got me searching for a picture of my orange boy, Rico. He was born in 1974, in my laundry basket, and he passed away in 1993! Almost 20 years old!! I took this picture with my iPhone. The original was taken by my brother almost 40 years ago. He printed it and gave it to me for my birthday, I think. Rico was probably 3 or 4 in this picture and he has a rubber ball between his front legs. I probably still have that ball around here somewhere. :)
