Post a pic of your cat sleeping in your case

Love this thread! It took all of 5 minutes after I opened my case for Winnie Cat to make herself comfortable. Even though I always chase her out, she is persistant in climbing into whatever case is handy.

Could have had a pic last night if a camera had been handy. Our lead singer and bass player's cat crawled into our mandolinist's Calton during practice. He usually perches atop my banjo case.

Django, what were the results of the scan?

Mandojeremy, it turned out to be a case of MAS hysteria.

I think I suffer from that also! I will go ask Gandalf(my cat, not the wizard) if he could possibly give me a cat scan in the Freudian realm of his mind. Who knows what would show up!

my instructor has a weiner dog named killer that sleeps in his mando case, not a cat, but close to the same size.

I love this thread! I dearly wish I had a picture of our dear departed friend of 15 years, Jed, in my mando case. It was one of his favorite places, but I somehow never took a picture of him there. He looked a lot like Gandalf!

So this may be a stretch, but here is a "kitty" that visited us three days ago and took a rest under a mesquite tree in the back yard. I doubt that he would fit in a mandolin case, but would probably like to rest in a mando-cello case if I had one. He came through our rod iron fence, a very tight fit, and rested is the shade until we got too close with the camera. He's been coming (or some other bobcat) to drink out of our pool for three years now.

Dude, that is a "real" bobcat!!!! #Great pic. #Just don't try to go pet him! #Seriously Flowerpot, did your cat have the same silver sheen to him when you saw him in the light? #I know Gandalf looks like a grey cat in the picture but that he is not. #That is one of the keys to having Russian Blues, plus they have 4 toes on the rear foot and 5 on the front and purple or mauve footpads. #Makes no sense for balance! Also, my mom used to have a bobtailed cat that was colored just like the pic and my last cat was a bobtailed Siamese.

Hey mandopete, I think I have very similar pics of myself in my younger days!

**Flowerpot** · Mar-04-2004, 1:30am

Well, mandojeremy, Jed looked very much like a Russian blue, except his eyes were green to yellow-green. His mother was Siamese and his father was -- well, nobody is sure. He was the greatest cat there ever was, and I swear he understood as much English as a 4-year old child. Here he is in his prime, about 3 years old; the silver sheen was lost in his later years, but not the twinkle in the eyes... sniff. And he loved the mandolin; he's drape his front paws over my right leg as I played and look up and nod his head at the end of a song if he approved.

OK guys, your starting to break the rules without with having a mando case.

**mandoJeremy** · Mar-04-2004, 11:22am

Hey Flowerpot, he was a very beautiful cat. He does look a lot like Gandalf. I am sure you miss him. Thanks for sharing the pic.

**mandoJeremy** · Mar-04-2004, 9:31pm

There is a Calton in the background and I am sure of it!

**Joe F** · Mar-07-2004, 2:51pm

Not a cat, but potential cat food! Her name is Rosebud, and our cat Thomasina gets along with her very well.

I have posted this one a while back, but it fit the topic so here goes again. The mandolin is Laurel #3.

Kraig

**Nik-chick** · Mar-10-2004, 9:02pm

No sooner did I get the mandolin I borrowed out of the case than in went the cat. You wouldn't think that would happen with the kind I can have in the dorm.

Picture is here as I have no way to resize it, and Tripod won't let me post pics.

That's my purse by the way.

Ok, Here is my cat Timon relaxing.

Case scanning! #How very interesting! #And to think that all this time I thought that cats were more interested in fish as opposed to cases... #Ya know...salmon, sole, haddock... #(Golly, I'm surprised that I remembered that!) #
