I overheard someone saying that today was a super tuesday and I just have to agree, I'm having a super day and I hope you all are too.

I did not know about Trophy until you started this thread, and now I feel that all of my days are more super as a result. Thank you.

Any sleeping cat photos? my cat used to sleep often so that'd be 75% of the time.

Surprisingly few sleeping cat photos. I know I took some so keep your eyes peeled (I'm going in order so I don't lose my place).

I did find a video of her sleeping

Hey Trophy...

How about a little history for this weekend. About 3 1/2 years ago I took my phone out and made two videos of Trophy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTaevkCMgJM
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utLw26I25cQ

Because of the nature of the internet, I was of course instantly derided for shooting in portrait mode. I made this reply

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jQUt743Ao8

At this point Hey Trophy videos were born. This was the next one I made, laying out the format for all videos to come

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYwN0W21Z7k

These are Hey Trophy videos. I did them for quite awhile. I occasionally still do. I will share them in this thread along with pictures in the future.

I don't know what else to say honestly. She's a cat. So, picture a cat. That's Trophy more or less?

No, she is perfectly silent whenever the phone is near her taking either photos or videos. She only meows late at night, she takes her red mouse into the middle of a hallway and then just yells at it.

I love that bathroom too.

In the last photo it's the neck from that year's Thanksgiving turkey. In all the others it's the backbone from the frier chicken I get from the butcher.

Her face is so round because that's what her breed, American Shorthair, looks like.


Alder posted:

I would say she is a small cat. She usually weighs just under eight pounds.

Yep! Here's her pedigree. We keep it in her file along w/ her immunization records and microchip registration, etc. Took a pic of it just now, realized I'd never shared it all these years. Yankee Star has since retired. If we were to get another one today we'd go to Kelloggs Cattery.

She is a very cuddly cat and her fur is very soft. When you hug her she does not run away.


Today was a very very VERY nice late winter day. We went outside.

Did you start harness training Trophy as a kitten or an adult? We are moving to a more urban area in July which means that Kiska's days of free-roaming when we go outside in the summer are dwindling rapidly, and I get to harness train a 14 pound, basically dumb cat.

It was nice here today too, we sat on the front steps and watched birds together.

Trophy has been going in the back yard in a harness since she was a kitten. The earliest picture I have of her in a harness is from January 2008, so just few months old, not even spayed yet. The harness is on backwards so I'm pretty sure that was the first time we put it on her. By March of 2008 she was exploring the back yard very confidently:




I know my experience is singular but as long as there are plants to sniff at Trophy is pretty happy outside. After few minutes of exploring she even will sit in a lap while we BBQ or read a book or something.

Good luck.

When they are purebred it's not orange it's "red tabby" :eng101:

It is the same w/ Trophy's coat she is a silver tabby but if she were a mutt she'd be a grey tabby. The cat fancy is very serious business.

Yes she is an indoor cat. She's not interested in wandering outside as much as she's interested in being wherever we are. So if we're in the living room and the door gets left open she'll just stare out of it. If we're on the porch and the door is left open she'll try to come be with us.

First time I saw a Trophy post the photo had her perched on a rock in an odd pose and thanks to her name I was left wondering if El Gar had actually gotten a real cat stuffed and was just loving with PI.
