    cowgirl13 what a sweetie, looks like she enjoyed her window watching! Sorry for the pain of losing her, I'm sure she knew she was loved.

    Thank you all for your kind words. It really helps and I don't feel so alone.

    Oh Cowgirl13 you are so not alone. We are all nutty about our kitties and love them so very much. My 20 y/o cat Chloe died a year ago and as sappy as this sounds, I still miss her. She was with me before I started dating my husband. So yes, that big cat sized hole in your heart is real.

    Cowgirl13 - So sorry for the loss of your dear cat. Her pics reflect such elegance. I still miss every cat I have ever had, starting with my first cat who came into my life more than 60 yrs ago!

    Not sure who watches the show Outlander, but here is a pic of the kitten named Adso that the character Jamie (also in pic) brought home to his wife Claire. My DH once brought a lovely kitten who looked just like Adso home and we named him Smoky.

    Rah2464 - My thoughts, exactly. DH was my kitten carrier, and although I love him, not quite on the same order as the one in the pic.

    Adso looks like my DH's (before he met me) first stray cat. When we married, I grew fond of him (the cat, LOL). He lived to nearly 22...and he is my screen name...Wally.


    I'm sorry about your loss of Kiscka (sp?). What a beauty! Maine coon?? I lost two (brother/sister) within 6 months of each other --and it is 3 years now and I still lament the loss.

    wallycat, I have always loved the cat in your picture! And I've been on this board since 2009). How wonderful Wally lived for 22 years. I do think Kiska was part Maine Coon, actually a lot of Maine Coon. How fun to have had a brother/sister but so painful a loss.

    I, too, have a Wally cat (actually he's Sir Walter Raleigh Kitty Cat and his litter mate is Sir Edmund Hillary Kitty Cat but we call him Eddie or Fattie). Wally is a character--maybe that's how we know to name them Wally? Their personalities? My Wally is 13 and finally mellowing a bit but boy it took over a decade for that to happen.

    Hi, Cat ladies. One of my neighbors rescued a cute little Tortie kitten. She is about 8 weeks old. So sweet.

    Good morning, cat lovers. Midnight Louie has a new game. He sneaks up on Miss Felix, gets as close as he can before she gives eye contact. Then he hides and comes at her from a different angle.

    Miss Felix looks like she isn't very impressed with Louies new game. Too cute!

    Rah2464, Miss Felix hates him, but she has reached the point of ignoring him.

    Good morning, Cat Lovers. This morning I awoke to the sound of hairballs and had 2 large ones to clean up. Yuck. It was Miss Felix. Both cats have gone back to sleep, along with husband.

    My runt calico of unknown age (vet guesses between 2-10 years old) seems to be skinnier even though she was only 8 pounds to start with. She is acting fine, maybe even more briskly! I'm hitting the gym, maybe she is to? Ha! I'm having a glass (or three) of wine - cheers to the many mysteries of these precious, goofy, and very loved, felines!

    Together what a sweet girl! Love that little tongue sticking out. On the weight loss, maybe have her checked for diabetes or thyroid issue? Diabetes can be pretty common as kitties age.

    Together, she is so cute. The little pink tongue is priceless. Love it. She might have hyperthyroidism. Miss Felix , my calico, does and takes a pill at night. Miss Felix is about 22 years old and has been on these pills for a year or so.

    Hyperthyroidism is very common as cats age. We did the nuclear treatment for Squeakers but we've had foster cats on the meds and they've done very well. Small pill, easy to hide, or will dissolve in a drop of water.

    Together, she is darling and sure looks like a character.

    My poor kitties Princess and Grace have been sleeping a lot with the heat waves we have been getting. Hoping that this latest one is the last one for a few weeks.
