Pixel

Pixel — Wed, 08 Sep 10 09:21:42 +1200

Pixel is a wee boy, he is 3 years old (Born February 2007) and is a Devon Rex - Black Smoke colour. The breeders say these cats are a cross between a cat, a dog and a monkey, and it's so true!

One of my favourite things about Pixel is that he fetches just like a dog! He will fetch with a screwed up piece of paper (A5 is his favourite) or a peg, or a teddy, or one of his small mouse toys. He will even drop the screwed up paper onto my coffee table so it's easier for me to pick up and throw again for him! He's a very smart boy, so it's impossible to trick him. You can't tease him with a piece of string, as he will bite your hand! He knows all the tricks!

But he is very well behaved and even knows lots of commands like "out," "no," "inside," and "come," and he will come immediately when I call out "treat, treat, treat" because he knows I've got something special for him. He has his own bed (underneath the TV so he thinks everyone is watching him) and it has an electric blanket as well. He has such short hair that he gets very cold, so having his own snugly bed tends to keep him out of mine, mostly!

One thing with Devon Rex's is that you don't ever own them, you just live together. And Pixel is very much a member of my family. He has amazing intuition and knows when I'm sick even before I do. I'm very lucky that he has adopted me :)

Mr Sooty

Mr Sooty — Thu, 02 Sep 10 08:12:17 +1200

Mr Sooty is approx 4 years old. He was born in the barn in a neighbours paddock. He selected us to be his family and just moved in. A quick trip to the vet followed. He spends a lot of his time looking for mice along the fence line the neighbours have poultry in the yard. The rest of it is spent between the lounge suite and my bed. He weighs in at 8kg and very much enjoys his Jimbos and bikkies. He really is a lovable gentle giant.

Paris

Paris — Tue, 31 Aug 10 10:30:28 +1200

I'd like to introduce you to my cat, called Paris. True to her name she will only dine on Jimbos Veal - and it has to be warm/room temperature. She will leave her plate of freshly served Veal (from the refridgerator) and return to it once it is at the right temperature. From the picture you can see she is a bit of a poser for the camera, and likes to distract me from anything else I am doing to pay her attention.

Nosey George and Theo

George is a 6-7 month old Stafi Cross. He loves to eat what I am eating, but he doesn’t really get any! Otherwise Dog roll, and Jimbos Meat as well. And he loves Doggy Treats! He has just learnt to shake hands, and at 3 months old learnt to roll over! My cat Theo, who loves Jimobs too, doesn’t like George as much as George loves him! Hehe

Poppy!

Poppy! — Tue, 03 Aug 10 09:40:20 +1200

This is our beautiful Maine Coon kitty Poppy. She is 18 months old, growing bigger and more beautiful everyday. Her favourite time of the day is when mum (Tracy) gets home from work, because that is “Jimbo’clock”. She is very curious and playful, sometimes we wonder if she is a dog instead of a cat, she loves to plays fetch for hours on end.

Aachan

Aachan — Tue, 20 Jul 10 09:32:07 +1200

Attached is a photo of my nine year old German Shepherd, Aachan. He came to me at almost three years old with skin, stomach and allergy problems. Literally for years my vet(s) recommended different dried foods and nothing seemed to work. Then we found out he is chicken intolerant. He was changed onto a brand that was soy based with no chicken but his ears still kept getting inflamed and sore. I made the decision to try him on a fresh food diet and started buying Jimbos and veges. He has never looked back. No more upset tummies, no more sore ears, no more diarrohea. His coat shines, he is happy and alert and has never been better. I am not being paid to say this. It's absolutely true.

This is Titu and Picnic. Picnic is the ginger and white cat and Titu is the tabby. They have both become very contented and chummy since starting on their Jimbos diet. Their owner only has to say the word 'Jimbos' and they run for their bowls.

Lucky

Lucky — Mon, 05 Jul 10 08:56:32 +1200

Lucky chose us as his parents in October 2000 because it was my partner's birthday and we had lost our family cat a few months earlier. Lucky was residing in "the Cat House" at the SPCA ,Gisborne, where the organisation kept a dozen adult cats for people like us who didn't want a kitten. Dave picked up every cat in the room and then picked up Lucky and said "This is our cat!" He chose him because he has a lovely face and you do look at that very often. We both noticed that he had very big white feet! Since then we have been his servants! He is a great catcher of frogs, mice, small rats and any kind of beatle that moves. He oogles birds but he is far too obvious in colour and not quite fast enough to catch them. Now his favourite occupation is resting in the sunshine on the carpet or his dralon chair. He eats often and sleeps on a hot water bottle in our bed at night. We are well trained ! Now he is ten years old and he has heard of retirement! The heat pump is just the thing but the even temperature now means he has lost the big ginger ruff he used to have around his neck in winter. He keeps the very best of health, he has never been injured and only sees the Vet for shots. Last time he weighed 7 1/2 kilos and the Vet said "He's fat!" Dave looked horrified and replied "Oh, no, that's just fur1" When visitors used to come he would disappear for hours. Now, he greets them first,before we can get there, looks them up and down, picks out anyone that dosen't like cats and insists on sitting on them. Then he goes off to inspect their vehicle by sniffing every wheel, door and the boot. Sadly he can't tell us what information he gleens. He has a very does everything but talk and he has a very loud meow. Food - well that is the staff of life ! He eats raw meat, chicken and fish twice a day and biscuit from an automatic feeder when ever he wants to. A fellow must keep his strength up ! No other cats are allowed on our property and he is on guard when ever we dare to go out. TV is a bit of a bore and best ignored while he curls up on one of us and goes to sleep till it is official bed time. John Banks once said that if he had to come back to this earth again he would like to be a male Siamese cat. Well, I think Lucky has the pattern of the perfect life for a cat !

Benny

Winston

Winston — Mon, 31 May 10 08:59:14 +1200

My parents rescued a cat from the Waihi SPCA about 8 months ago. He is a very forward cat, nosey, noisy and surprisingly clumsy. Of an afternoon Winston will come into our office and make a royal pain of himself. If you stand up, before you blink he’s on your chair looking like he’d been there for hours. He must make muddy paw prints on any nice white paper that might be on your desk and if you think typing might be fun – Winston will walk right across your keyboard mid sentence. He likes to jump from floor level to the top of the reception desk and will always send something flying. Now that the weather is cooling down he has taken to having a nap in the document feeder of the photocopy machine. I can’t wait to see the look of wonderment on the technicians face when he next comes to clean as I’m sure there will be copies amounts of Winston Fur that have wound their way into machine.
