Mine was named Snowball, but she's my sister's cat now.

Getting a cat. Need startup advice.
- Thread starter Aragorn
- Start date
Call it whatever you want... cats have this tendency to not pay any attention to their human-given name being called anyway.
I call both my cats several things other than their names, most of them printable 
I always thought if I had a black cat, I'd name it Sabbath.

Absolutely. And our cat definitely knows his name and responds to it, although we kept the name that his foster parents gave him.
I got to watch my dad and my cat argue over the couch tonight.
She's the only cat I've ever had that has no problem telling him to shove off.

Dogs have Masters, Cats have pets (i.e us)
Evolution works in mysterious ways; cats did evolve to have opposable thumbs -they're called humans,
Same here. I keep having to tell people I didn't name my cats after alcohol (Jack and Jose)--someone else did!
These IKEA-hacks reminded me of a couple of my own 'hacks':
Two scratching-boards screwed into one end of my shelves:
And at the other end of the system I put up two loose shelves I just happened to have lying around (I made them earlier to hold grandma's speakers):
In case you were wondering what that black thingy on top was; it's a webcam:
Might as well post the picture of the cat-ramp connecting the bedroom window with the yard:
... And the flap in the insect netting:

I do, Have I never shown you the picture where she's napping with her brother -under the ever-watchful glare of their mother?
Some real good advice in this thread. 
I'll offer the need for play. Lone cats need some play time daily. A laser light is fun prey for them. So is a ball of tin foil getting rolled across the floor.
My cat loves this long feather/bell combo I picked up in Target. Wave it around and he'll attack and bat at it for hours.

I understand a lot better nowand I'm reminded o fthis strip:
I don't think any of the cats I've encountered (that like their carriers) have ever had to travel more than half an hours worth in them -and not always to the vet and of course they've lived in homes with kids and/or other animals (dogs); the carrier was their only totally private little den.
I found another one.
What I do about the carrier is, it sits out in the hall all the time, where the cats always see it and there's no warning. One is always open and ready for immediate loading of a cat. So all they know is that once in a while, when they are picked up, they might get dumped in a carrier. And mine are top-loading, so I let gravity work for me. There's no other warning.
