Condolences, Harry My orange and white short hair is sleeping on my printer as I type. I can't imagine life without her, but, when it comes, I'm sure I'll figure out how to cope. She is my best friend. I rescued her when she was a small kitten. The people who lived in the house kept her in a laundry basked placed upside down with books on top to keep her inside. They had a couple of doberman dogs that were allowed the run of the house while this cat was kept a captive to her laundry basket. When I heard the story about her predicament, I said, let's go get her, and then I'll find a good home for her. After about 15 seconds of having her in my lap, I knew, even though I already had another cat, I'd never let this one out of my sight again. My original cat, "Fred", died a few years later, after 17 loyal years to me, leaving me with only my beautiful, loving, orange and white stray. TG I had my little female cat to help me through my loss. On topic, my current cat has no use for boats, or motors, but she's damned glad not to be trapped under a laundry basket anymore, and lets me know just how much she appreciates being rescued, every day. bb |

Our condolences Harry. Pets certainly are part of the family and it's tough to see them go. We are going through a similar circumstance right now - in fact it's the reason we haven't left for Florida yet. Mrs. E's 14 year old Westie "Major" has an inoperable cancer and the vet says it's just a matter of time. He has good days and bad, but I suspect the time is very soon. How did CattyWampus get along with your other "cat"? Eisboch |

She was well kept for 16 yrs is a ripe old age for a cat.

We lost our cat a year ago September. I still miss that beast. I miss playing and getting scratched. I miss the little monster jumping up into my lap and then kneeding my belly & leggs - it hurt but the cat would go into such a trance - it was a trip to see. RIP Kitty. RIP Catty Wampus.

Since our youngest son moved out 1st September, our 13 year old calico cat seems to be taking a shine to me. I can't go get a bowl of ice cream to enjoy in my lazyboy without her jumping up on my lap to stare as each spoonful disappears. Sometimes I tease it by moving the spoonfull closer to her while saying 'mmmmmm and then quickly pulling it away to pop into my mouth. For some reason the wife doesn't think this is funny. |

"Harry Krause" wrote in message All our cats were "rescued." Same here. About 7 years ago, we adopted a tabby from an MSPCA shelter nearby in MA, to complement our [late] 90lb Elkhound/Samoyed mix that we had adopted a couple of years before in Fairfax County. As soon as we opened the cage at the shelter to check him out, he jumped up on my son (about 11 at the time), laid his head right against his neck, and started to purr so loudly the whole room stopped and turned. That was a no-brainer! He is still my son's cat, and is having a hard time acclimatizing to his absence at UMass. About a year or so later, in April, I was at the vet buying yet another very large sack of dog food when I noticed a cat wandering along the walls that they had for adoption. This cat was still half-shaved and limping from surgery, and of an obviously foul disposition -- most unfriendly!! Immediately recognizing a kindred spirit, I inquired re the particulars. Seems the critter (probably feral at the time) had been brought to the vets door on New Years Eve by a motorist who had hit him. Two broken legs, fractured pelvis, plus some internal damage. In the process, our friend bit one of the vet techs. Through some combination of MA legal requirements and the fact that it was a holiday evening, it was determined that they had to try to keep him alive over the weekend until the appropriate Mass office reopened to give them permission to perform the rabies test. Dave (the vet) decided that if they had to try to keep him alive, he would give his surgical staff a training environment, and try to save him outright, which they did. Pins in one leg and pelvis, internal repairs through surgery, R&R at Dave's own home for a couple of months, follow-up procedures, then up for adoption at Dave's clinic. By this time our friend, who had been named 'Oscar the Grouch' by the staff for good solid reasons, had had quite enough of TLC, was a truly nasty SOB, and of little use as a pet for kids. I figured we'd get along just fine. I brought him home [shocking the bejesus out of my wife and kids] and he went under the sofa for three days. For about 6 months he would beat the crap out of Oslo, the elkhound, at any opportunity, and was not particularly friendly at all. After eighteen months we heard our first tentative purring, and now, 5-6 years later, he is a total wuss, purrs and kneads all the time, and has become the most dedicated lap cat in existence. Oslo the dog was lost to a brain tumor a few years ago, but the two cats now do an admirable job of holding down the furniture during the day, and entertain us with their WWF re-enactment at least three times a week. Ah,.... the good life.... |
