My kitty..........
Here's a couple of photos of my cat Puff-Puff..... she is 14 years old now. My wife got her while a kitten back in 1996 when we were engaged - I had lost my 17 year old cat, also named Puff, a year earlier and she had two dogs when we met and she thought I should have a cat since I'm more a cat person than a dog person.
I shouldn't do this so much but, I almost live in fear of loosing this cat too since she is up in years for a cat and the thought of it is so depressing - try not to think about it. She is not in bad health and may very well see 18 or 20 years - certainly hope so!
It's amazing how attached we become to our animals and the loss, when it happens, is like loosing a family memeber and in a way that's exactly what happens - they are so much a part of our lives..... stability in a world very much lacking in that area these days.
Sorry - not meaning to be a downer today on this issue - just that it comes to mind more than I would like these days. Ross your new cat is lovely and I do hope that you have many, many, many years together and I look forward to many more with mine!
