I find it interesting that we have the ability to just create life and consciousness on a whim.

That seems like the sort of power that ought to be reserved for the gods.

I wish i had better news.. unfortunately i don't.
Yesterday I bought him in because he was breathing heavy hoping that it's a cold (snotty discharge)...nope. there was blood in his diaphragm so he couldn't breathe. After a full night of tests at the emergency hospital they saw a mass in his lung that's either cancer or inhaled something.. either way the lung would have to be removed and they gave him few months of low quality life. Not easy loosing this guy after only 3 and a half years.

RIP good friend.

Thank you sir. Definitely wasn't ready to part ways so soon. I was hoping to have him in my life for at least 10 years.

Sorry about your kitteh, triple.


This is number 4 for us. 2.5 months and about 2.5 lbs. He hasnt learned the hierarchy of Catdom yet. Walks/runs around like he owns the place. Awesome personality and not afraid of humans in the least.

Thank you for the pic. Definitely needed that.

On another note.. I'm debating on getting my kitty a friend. She keeps running around looking for Eli. I'm afraid that she'll only get worse as she realizes hes not coming back.

Alani- has medical problems that caused her to need to have her teeth removed. Sweetest cat ever:




Alani (Stray rescue) and Kovu

Kovu and Lina (littermates)

Josie. Adopted from my parents because they are not really cat people and kinda inherited her.

Calypso. Super prey drive on her. She only has one good eye. Either infection as a kitten or accidental damage. She was a stray at the apartment.

Two strays become house cats. Julius and Otis. Otis had severely infected eyes when we adopted. Vet couldn’t save them so they were removed. He gets around great and everyone that meets him falls in love. He is Pepé la Pew in cat form. I’ll try and fix upside down issue?

This cat (Nugget) frequently sits on this 4x4 post. He is 11 years old and a 20 pounder.

edit: sorry for the potato, if you walk towards him he jumps off.

Not a bad idea! Bonus points added...

The woman who lives in that house is a friggen loon! She sent me an anonymous letter via the USPS saying that the neighborhood was upset with cats defecating in people's yards. I went around to each house with the honest intention of improving the situation. I finally found out it was her. I went to all sorts of lengths to keep him from going over there, but the little butt-head would shoot right over there everytime we let him out. I offered to clean up after him, but she was having none of that. I even installed an ultrasonic shield around the fence line, but he was persistent. She actually showed up at my door with a bag of crap one time. She almost said the line from Billy Madison verbatim, "It's poop again!" It was all I could do to not laugh my *** off at her.

Anyway, we had to resort to keeping him inside all the time, which is torture. He is old enough now that I don't think he goes over there, but I am sure that lady is sitting in there staring at him on that post and it is tearing her up. I don't normally enjoy inflicting suffering, but in this case I am not getting too bent out of shape about it.
