| Enjoy the heck out of them while you've got them! | |
| I'm currently sitting a "Death Watch" on a neighbor's cat, that | |
| rather adopted us early on, so came to live here about half the | |
| time, and now has come over here to die! The actual owners were | |
| over yesterday for a visit, and may likely come back today, just | |
| to say goodbye some more. Tried taking him back home three days | |
| ago, but somehow, he got out again and we found him by our back | |
| door about ten O'clock that night just as we were closing up | |
| getting ready for bed. How he made it that distance is beyond | |
| me, but it must have taken him a few hours to do it. We are all | |
| agreed that this is where he wants to be, so now it is just time | |
| to be letting him go. | |

| Charlie, "El Gato", the neighbor's cat and our "Half-Cat", in | |
| better days | |
| Sorry to have turned this wonderful thread on its head, but just | |
| a reminder of how important it is to appreciate these little | |
| friends, every day that you can!!! | |

| We are down from three cats and three dogs to one feral cat aka | |
| Sheldon. | |
| Not sure I have it in me to endure losing any more pets. | |

| I know just what you mean Charlie. Losing "Charlie the Gato" was | |
| really tough, and he wasn't even our cat! | |
| We are also down to one cat now, a feral that was living through | |
| the toughest, deepest snow winter in a long time here, under our | |
| wood trailer and in our woodshed. He was truly wild for such a | |
| seemingly young cat, and it took us until mid-summer to get him | |
| to come inside our door. We left food out for him that winter, | |
| but he wouldn't approach the food with us anywhere in sight, so | |
| what his early history was remains a mystery, but someone must | |
| have mistreated him &/or betrayed him while quite young. He had | |
| been fixed, but other than that showed no signs of having been | |
| domesticated at all. | |
| In honor of how he came to be with us, we named him "Stray", and | |
| though definitely a part of the family now, he remains quite | |
| independent and aloof! | |

| Scary thing is, he may actually be young enough to outlive | |
| us!?!? | |
| That too, would be quite sad!!! | |
