Hi =^..^=

Hi
I'm new here, and was e-mailed by someone here, and invited me to share my
story with you. She said you were lovely people.
My husband and I are owned and operated by 4 indoor cats, all netutred. We
lost our beloved cat Mutt, who 'went home' at age 19 on Dec 9, 2007. He
came into our lives when he was less than a year old. He was a polydactyl,
(6 toed) who had a purr you could hear 3 rooms away. He was slowly
withering away, and we spent the last 2 days of his wonderful life with him
on our big bed, and we told him it was okay to just go take a nap, and wake
up in fields of catnip, where all his other friends would be waiting for
him...bless his heart, I left the room for a few minutes and when I returned
to check on him, he's 'gone home' on his own...he was always thoughtful, and
we miss him so much. I DO believe he gave our other 2 boy cats instructions
to take care of us when he left, and they''e been doing just that.
Drat, now I'm weeping again...it's hard...ahem..we had many long
conversations over the years. But, he was so funny when he was younger and,
he could say the work "Milk?"
He loved it ice cold..I'd warmed it one day and he threw me this
'face'..like 'ICE cold mom'..
He would stand in his big bowl of dry food and being with 6 toes, we knew he
was finished when he would throw a stuck-in-paw piece of food against the
wall!.
He didn't like catnip...strange, but he was happy...
Anyhooooo...kitties are the most appealing creatures on God's earth...

When you call a cat, it'll take a message and get back to ya

Welcome! Loved hearing about Mutt. (But I'm sorry it's still hard for
you.) How about your other cats?

I'm owned by 3:

Smudge - female, 11 years old, grey and white longhair, loud,
demanding, very loyal and a bit dog-like. Loves to go outdoors.
We often take walks together around the neighborhood. (No leash!
She just trots behind me.)

Roxy - female, 10 y/o, brown stripey with white underneath, very
cute and pretty, Zen personality, hardly ever gets ruffled,
affectionate, still very playful, useless as a hunter. Has
feline herpes, so indoor-only.

Licorice (Licky) - male, 5 y/o, mostly black with white underneath,
very sleek, elegant and handsome, also a scaredy-cat, dives under
the bed when someone comes over, but LOVES to be petted and has
a very loud purr.

Hello and welcome. Purrrrrz for your friend that went to the bridge, do you
know about the Rainbow Bridge? Prayers for your family.

Welcome to the group, Kyla. I know your pain. I lost my beloved Frank
(aged 18) on 8 Dec 2005. I'd lost my other elderly cat, Nikki, in May
the same year. I still miss them so much, but my two young cats, Miranda
(a 3-year-old Russian Blue) and Caliban (brown tabby who will be 3 in
April) were a huge help in dealing with the losses. We live in Helsinki,
Finland.

Welcome coming from the Touchstone clowder here in Oklahoma. I'm
Steve, 53 retired Army sergeant and local crazy cat dude who feeds all
the neighborhood cats. My crew are all inside only girl kitties and a
couple cockatiels. Around 8 years ago I let a little pregnant cat
inside to warm up during a ice storm. That cat became Little Bit, and
I kept one of her kittens, Sammy.

My next cat was the top tom cat in the little colony that used to be
in the neighborhood. I fed him for several years, and eventually he
decided to retire and become mine. He had several names over the
years, from "the mostly white tom cat" to "whitey" and once he adopted
me he became Rocky. Before I moved here a couple different old timers
in the neighborhood has an informal TNR program going on, and there
were only about 5 ferals left. Rocky was the only unneutered tom
because he was very VERY trap wise. Sadly, Rocky died way too soon
after he became my cat.

Last year Spotty arrived on my patio one day just before a
thunderstorm. She was emaciated, ears full of mites, and had four
kittens who were pretty much weaned. Found homes for the little ones,
but by the time Spotty was back in good health she was one of the
family.

Last two are rescues from this year. Just before the weather turned
cold a stray had a litter on the roof where I work. Nobody ever saw
more than one kitten, and now momma is Princess and the kitten is
Furby. Furby is the only one who has yet to be spayed, but that will
change once she's a little older.

lost our beloved cat Mutt, who 'went home' at age 19 on Dec 9, 2007.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Someone else already mentioned the
Rainbow Bridge. I had never heard the poem before I joined this group.
Here's a couple links http://www.homeranimals.com/rainbow.htm or
http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html for an animated version
is always brings a tear to my eyes.

Welcome to another crazy ol cat lady- we're all crazy ol' cat ladies in here
even the men!

I'm Lesley from London, UK and owner by two black sisters aged 4- they'll be
5 in April- if they don't get lynched first!

Well the cat most likely to get lynched is Sarrasine AKA Sarsi AKA "Get off
that now you little.....(insert various rude words in here)". A punk rock
loving kitten with a serious attitude problem and plans for World domination

Her sister, Redunzel AKA Dunzi is just a laid back hippy who loves DaNip and
her hobbies include meditation, contemplation of the infinite and attacking
the greeblings that live in the TP

Both will kill for ham!
