a thread for crazy cat ladies! I thought maybe just pics of your own cats, and if there's not enough then just any old cat you can find!
I have 8. Technically only 5 are mine, the others think they live here. Mostly because I feed them with everybody else and they never seem to leave!

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.

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.
Tried the tamoxifen, no thanks.
