Teifi

[PFVA]

He maybe a Tabby Siamese. Don't know if it's similar.

To be honest, i know nothing of his origins. Big Cat showed up here carrying him in his mouth when he was the size of my hand. We don't know where he found him. There is a female adult cat up the street that looks a lot like him and on the house next to hers there is another cat the same size as Teifi who also looks a lot like him. I have seen Big Cat visiting that back yard often and suspect Teifi is related to the other two.

I was told at the local mini market once that his mother owners knew he was with me and knew he was being taken care of and were happy. I still don't know if Big Cat stole him or if he wondered out, got lost, and Big Cat found him, or if he followed Big Cat. He used to do that as baby and actually still does most of the time.

Yesterday Teifi procceeded with his studies from the dryest location in the roof





In the evening from the by then dry roof he sang his heart out as loudly as he could untill his girlfriend showed up. Then they both alternated singing at each other for at least half an hour before getting to their business. Headphones are such a great invention.

Uuuuh!!! Cats meowing at nights are soooo romantic!

[PFVA]

I learned a lot about their courtship but i wouln't call it romantic... my ears were hurting.

But it was a kind of cute. I never though they spent so much time looking at each other and "singing" before they actually did it.

Yesterday afternoon.

I'm just so tired. I just want to sleep



Exciting night Teifi?




Flickr is a pain. I just hope i can start uploading on Photobucket soon.

Pretty much as yesterday Teifi used the afternoon to recouperate his energy

[PFVA]

Well...

Teifi his now almost 10 months old, only a couple away from becoming an official adult cat. This thread has been going for 9 months and like anything else it had to have an ending.

The problems with Photobucket, and the fact i can't no longer upload to there, have just concretized a decision that had to be taken sooner or later. The last picture was a cute one, and it will probably be one of the comon scenes of his adult life.

The photos will stay up for a while, eventually they'll have to be deleted. I already deleted most of whatever was on my account there, and i don't think i would ever have the patience to upload all there are here elsewhere and change the links even though i have all the originals.

So without further due.
The End

Thanks for posting the photos, he's turned into a lovely cat.

Thanks PFVA for sharingTeifi's pics, this thread has been part of my "starting day work" routine in these last months. It is funny, the end of this thread comes up with the end of my current job...what a coincidence!

Awesome stuff, PFVA. I've loved following the little chap's progress, and have checked this thread pretty much daily. Thanks a lot for the time and effort you've put in. Probably my favourite thread of all time on here, all things considered.

I'm jealous you get to keep him to yourself from now on, but you deserve it. Enjoy!

Edit: Here's one of my favourites from recent memory. It just sums up cats (pay attention to ME!):

[PFVA]

Aawwwww.
Teifi says "meooow"

Even if Photobucket doesn't get their new stuff interfacing problems with earlier than Leopard versions of Safari sorted - at least finally got the info of what was going on - occasionally i'll place a pic here on the Fluffy side to show how he's doing.

itd be nice if the photos are left up or the thread archived this is one of the nicest threads on yakyak

[PFVA]

I deleted most of the other pics that were in Photobucket.

I didn't delete Teifi's or the ones that are in the Photography thread in a Portuguese Forum i go to.

It's up to Photobucket however how long they are going to leave the pics there. I won't have any control over that.

I know i should have blogged this but by the time i thought of it i was already 2 weeks into the thread and i ended up not doing it. When i heard the news of the Photobucket corporate merge and having gone thru several of those when living in the U.S. (Citibank taking over At&T and completely screwing the existing accounts even in things as simple as my address and not being able to fix it for 6 months, Verizon taking over i can't remember who, Wells Fargo merge, the legendary worse possible Customer Service Co. Comcast taking over the cable company) and knowing what that always does to Customer Service i had the feeling i should immediately start moving stuff out of Photobucket and that's why i had already open the Flickr account as a back up but by that time was too late to move the around a 1,000 pics of Teifi.

Note: The 2 i deleted in this page it was because they were out of phocus and i took them out from Flickr and left just the last one.

-.-.-.
BTW Teifi is doing well and i'm starting to supect cats are telepathic. He was asleep last night, suddenly he open his eyes, kept them very open looking in the direction of the roof and 5 minutes later his girlfriend arrived. Almost at the same time she jumped into the balcony Teif jumped from the sofa outside. Either he can smell her all the way from the other side of the street or they are both telepathic.

PFVA: This is my fave thread on the forum at the moment. I never miss the photos and have loved seeing him grow up and hear about what he's up to. After your news, I've also spent a fond half-hour, trawling his old photos right from when he was a baby kitten. He is now a truly beautiful cat. I shall miss your regular blog here. Thank you.

Aaaaawww. Thanks.

As said every so often i~ll post a couple of pics of him.
