I'm sorry for your loss.

The day we were going to put down our former outside cat we took her out and sat with her on the lawn for a while. She was too weak to do much other than sit but she did appreciate it. She'd always loved following me around the place and especially running around me on the lawn.

I feel your loss Sig, I had to put our cat down a a few years ago, and it really really sucked. I felt bad about it for days. He was a good kitty that we had for a long time. Really friendly, and never caused any problems. We have another, and he is a great cat too, he is curled up now at my wife's feet, but he like me too. He is an indoor/outdoor kitty, so I know every day something could eat him or a dog could kill him. We have lots of hazards for kitty's here in the woods. But he is what he is and he enjoys going out so much. Almost as much as he loves coming back home for a kitty treat, and some affection from one or the other of us.

Some people think that cats are not affectionate and that that you can never feel about them like you do a dog, but it isn't true. You get just attached to a good cat as you do a good dog, and they are just as attached to you. Yes they have different temperaments, but they need your attention and affection and they give it too.

Sorry guys, not meant as "I had to put a pet down thread", and although I feel like rewording the original post, I won't. Guess it was the first time I dug a hole before the animal had died.

Just made me think that we need a cat pic thead:laughing:

feasant, that's a youngin you got there.

Not as small, but same guy in the second pic in the first post on the right



A different guy...

Cats are awesome. This is our new one. She is about 1 1/2 years old. Super social, into everything, loves to be around us, loves to play and investigate everything.

One is her sleeping in my office chair. Another is her watching paper come out of the printer (oh how she loves the printer), last is her outside hiding in the iris. She does a bit of everything.

Yep, cats love printers almost as much as they love boxes.

From my own personal experience, cats seem to either bond with people more less depending on how much "human time" they have for interaction when they're kittens.

I've had one cat when I was in high school that would litterally stay right by my side no matter where we went walking out back in the woods.

That said, thinking about it, the one in the pic I posted as a kitten came to us as a kitten, and once he hit about 1, he became pretty "aloof". That said, the last couple years (can't believe he's 8 now) he has become more "social" wanting human interaction.

The GREAT thing about cats is you can leave a full bowl of food and water and kitty litter and leave for 3-5 days without having to worry about them:laughing: (if they're indoor cats of course). None of our cats has ever run us a boarding fee if we go on vacation.

Here is Gisele last winter when she was still an outdoors critter. We finally bit the bullet and took her to the vet and found out she was declawed on all four, was only around 1 year old and is a pure breed so obviously someone's lost pet.


From the pic you may see her fur was tangled up in knots so we had her sheared , vaccinated and fixed. She is mostly an indoors kitty now and we are contemplating not letting her out at all come spring.

Hate is a bad word...despising something that we have no control over is senseless...but there are some things we humans have really messed up and cats are one of them...

Critters make life much better. I prefer cats. My wife prefers dogs. Currently we have 3 dogs and 4 cats in the house.


Earlier this year lost my office Cat. The office and me were her territory for over a decade.

My wife claimed to get the evil eye from Cat when she came to the office.

I would take my cats any day over humans. Even though they specialize in making work for me and have a six sense as to what I don't want, which is what they do.

One cat is always jumping up, wanting to ride on equipment. One particular cat I had for twenty one years once jumped in my lap, and pissed on the telephone, which I was on with a particularly difficult and dangerous woman. Makes you wonder what they know!

I have little use for dogs, which are just too Needy for my liking. Not that I hate them or anything.

Oh man...we have no less than 6 boxes in the house at any given time. Ours loves wheat thins boxes, or the 12 pack of coke. Open at both ends and watch them play.

Here's Cleopatra, Queen of the Realm. Came as a catch and release spayed feral cat. Had to cross the raging swollen river in the dead of winter to get to us. At least that's what she told us. Great mouser that snores.
