Introducing Wesley Snipes

This discussion doesn’t really need a photo. You just need to imagine a very black cat with no white on it whatsoever. His name is Wesley Snipes He is one of our charges at our new house-sit. Unlike some cats we’ve cat-sat, he is on your lap as soon as you sit down which is a nice change although it does make it a little hard to crochet. We arrived Thursday afternoon which was a good thing as it blew a gale that night and we had a lot of rain. We stayed in the caravan and it was rocking and rolling in the wind. The next day wasn’t much better but we moved into the house and the mother and twin boys left for Perth about 10.30am. They were meeting their Dad in Mandurah then going on to Perth to see the Mary Poppins stage-show. They would have left early this morning to flew to Sydney then Moree in New South Wales then a 2 ½ hour drive to an outback Queensland station where the father comes from.

We know a few people that were going to the show. I'm sure any kids would be blown away.

Wow, thats a lot of switching when traveling. My Prissy was all black with no white, she was a Himalayan mix and extremely friendly.

Maybe after a few days he will begin to purr. Prissy always purred

@rebelann It seems strange that he doesn't purr at all.

He loves to sit on your lap but so far, I haven't heard him purr at all.

From the title I thought, Judy is a Wesley Snipes fan? I didn’t have her pegged as someone who watches Blade movies. I’m glad to hear he is such a friendly cat!

I think the actor Wesley Snipes was in a few action movies. So I need to imagine the Black Cat as the Super Action Hero in a no brainer out and out action movie ! If Wesley is heavy, then it would be a task to keep him on lap !! Sounds like a lot of rain with high speed winds! Is it still quite cold there?

We've been lighting the fire most nights but it's not really that cold. I think we'll start getting better weather tomorrow.

@judyev I don’t suppose cat stroking and crocheting are all that comparable with each other. It’s lovely having a cat as affectionate as that - for the first 5 minutes.

Cute black cat. And what a nice job you have, cat-sitting. I used to do that for my Grandma whenever she'd go down to FL with my uncle. Cool name for the kitty too. :)

It's fun really. The puppy needs a lot of attention but is very cute. The cat is very easy.

Normally cats do not respond when called and even then that name - never mind (lol)s Beckie our cat is pitch black and so I can imagine that scene but Beckie does not like to be touched unlike her baby who clings to me climbing up even when I am standing

@JudyEv Just as well they do not respond when they are called. Our Peppie is the boss around here giving me orders left, right and centre (lol)

This cat knows how to make its needs known. It's very good at saying I want to go in this door or that.

I didn't know Wesley Snipes was a real person. That's my thing learnt for the day.

I am sure it was not a comfortable night inside your caravan. Black cats are often sweet cats. I can figure him. Which colour his eyes?

@JudyEv Some black cats have green eyes and some yellow.

They're green I think. I'll have to look harder next time he's on my lap.

They must be big fans of Wesley Snipes. My husband and I have always enjoyed his movies.

Both the dog and the cat have settled in really well and we've just about got a routine going.

Cats love staying in the lap. I has a cat named Pusu. She always came and slept in my lap whenever she found me sitting.

Our old cat liked lap-sitting too but some are more independent.

@JudyEv Yes, just like human beings some cats and dogs too depend on human beings emotionally but some don't.

A lap cat Wesley is unlike his name's sake who tends to be more of an action-packed kind of guy, lol.

'Our' Wesley is very laid back. I think it was the blackness that attracted the name of Wesley Snipes.

I bet, if you look very closely, you'll find one white hair in Wesley's 'bib' area...

Love the name...I didn't name him but I used to have a black fellow by the name of Fluffdaddy. Named for an R and B singer that used to call himself Puffdaddy.

He now sleeps on our bed most nights. We are certainly getting our cat fix with him.

Wesley Snipes reminds me of the cat I once owned. She used to sit on my lap when I did my homework.

This one sits on us whenever we sit down. Even when we're on the computers, he wants to be on our lap.
