I think I'll get an orange tabby cat
and name him Boner.

"Here, Boner! (trrrrill) Yeah! Good boy!"

1. Please. Think of the cat. Does he deserve that?

2. That isn't fair to the cat. I had an orange tabby named "Garfield" who made it to 16 years.
This guy could clear the top of the fridge from the floor - no counters, just a jump. He chased dogs out of the yard on a regular basis. The funny thing about it is that he didn't have front claws (showed up that way), but the DOGS didn't know that. It is a fair bet that most dogs know about what cats pack under those cute little pads.

3. Why are you insulting tabby cat intelligence so?
Edited on Thu Nov-04-10 11:47 AM by TZ
Seriously, I believe my cats (and most cats I know) are more intelligent than Rep Orange (Spray Tan Party-Ohio)

4. But look at it this way.
Boner would actually end up eating cat food!

6. I love those big ol' orange tabbies...
Please don't name him Boner.

He deserves better.

18. Bella, I see, is a calico
inasmuch as calicos are the feminists of the kitty world, she would probably hiss at Boner and maybe even bat him one.

9. I have one, but his name is Jelly. :)
He weighs 14 lbs, will be 2 years old next month, and he still thinks that he's an 8-week-old kitten. If you have a 14-lb, orange, fuzzy cannonball land on your tummy from 6 feet across the room at 3:30 am...you know you're spending the night at Chez Lyric-Rhythm, lol.

17. If you find a large, thin faced orange tabby at a shelter...
it would be a public service to adopt him and name him Speaker.

21. Especially if he had a sweet meow
interestingly, my very favorite orange tabby, Sean Timothy Michael Murray, was all but mute, though he did have a wicked purr. This may have cost him his nine lives when he got FUS at age 5 and never meowed to tell us he was in pain. :cry:

24. How sad.
My vet told us that far too many cats hide their discomfort like that. Poor Sean Timothy Michael Murray.

22. If you were in CT, I'd have one for you.
My friend Shannon has one that decided to live on her open porch uninvited. Her roommates and landlord won't let it into the house so she's taking it to the shelter later now that it's getting cold.
