This is Gandalf. He crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday.

I got him from the humane society in September 1994, he reached through the cage and played with my (then) long hair. I didn't choose him, he chose me.



He lived through 17 and a half years of sometimes being fed a bowl of treats because daddy forgot to buy food. He was a great big brother to his best feline pal, Pixel.




He lasted 4 months after being diagnosed with Lymphoma. He was 4 months from his 18th birthday. It hurt me so bad to tell him it was OK to let go, and it was time to chase butterflys on the other side. It hurt me, but he feels no pain anymore.

Goodbye old friend. You truly were the best friend I ever had, and the best thing that happened to me. I'll see you again soon enough.

tigerose: ladydouji: Happy Caturday everyone. Finding out that Rocky is the most photogenic of my cats. It's just so easy to take pictures of him.

Beautiful kitty...sorry he's gone. I can appreciate how a cat can find you rather than the other way around. My GF lost her best friend/kitty last year. She showed up one day on her doorstep and was the most amazing cat I've ever been around.

This little one took a chunk out of my thumb the other day.
The picture is old but at the time she broke one of her rear claws.
She is pure skitzo...

Gotta post and run this week. Mrs. Moose is taking medication where she can't nurse Baby Moose, I'm on call and have to go to work in a bit, and Little Moose is being bonkers. I just wanted to pop in and say "Hello." And to give a big "Thank You!!!" to The Puce Guardian for last week's plasmabear. I didn't get back to the thread in time to say that last week. Have a good weekend, everybody!

I was a bit bummed out on valentine's day. I look over and see Tigger and RockStar. This is love.

The article isn't talking about the Denver airport, but the much smaller, and a whole lot less creepy one in Broomfield. If it were the Denver airport, i.e. Denver International, they would have stuffed the cat, painted it blue and posed it with an AK-47 in front of baggage carousel.

I adore Cat Vs Human. Great comic.

Good meowning.
Sorry to read about the sickies and the boo boos. Hope that you and yours feel better soon - sickapie and yobbery.
Special condolences to djtodd and johnbuck41. It is never easy to lose a family member whether they are 2 footed or 4.

Here's Foster, King of the Box. What do you think he's saying?


Here's the newest member of the fam




Comments away!

Oh yeah - catmandu - Arrrr-gyle! Too funny. Several months to go before it's Pirate day again.

Here is Oreo my 18 yr old that passed away from cancer the week after Turkey day.
My daughter adored him. She called him Ordo. He was very patient.

flamingboar: Hey fellow cat lovers! I got wrote up at work because a person reported I was saying racial slurs. Apparently referring to my cat as a coon is bad (he is a Maine coon). I was talking to my co worker about my cat and someone else over heard it.

They wrote you up even after you explained? That is bogus. :(

Good morning! I am here at work, slaving away in the catless student loan mines. I found an awesome text from my husband when I woke up. It was a pic of Tori cat laying on a pillow by me while I slept. It made me happy.

spinach gunk: John Buck 41: We use the Dawn/peroxide/baking soda but were low on Peroxide.

Does that formula really work? I am just waiting for Buddy to be christened by a skunk, we have had sooo many very close calls but have been lucky so far. Good to have a plan just in case. :)


Yes, it works great. We had two Huskies soaked by a skunk. Cleaned them up with that magic potion and they were back in the house within an hour. Not 100% skunk free, but definitely tolerable.

Hai guys. I have a heavy heart this Caturday. My beloved nephew and godson Noah passed away on Wednesday. He took his own life; we have no idea why as from all outward appearances, he was a happy, sweet 13 year old boy. It hurts to say that's how he passed, but I feel so numb and am still in disbelief that saying it makes it feel more "real," if that makes any sense.

Noah and I were always especially close, as he was born when I was only 11 years old (my brothers are all ~twice my age). When he was a baby my mom would watch him for my brother and sister-in-law, so I spent every day playing with him after school. As he got older, I saw him less as I was away at college but I always loved when he was at my parents' when I visited home. This summer my fiance and I were actually going to move close to where Noah lives and I was so excited to get to spend more time with him. Especially as he was going to turn 14, I wanted to do what my dad did for me when I was his age: take him to an empty parking lot & teach him how to drive, so that when he started driver's ed, he would (sort of) know what he was doing.

A picture of Noah with Mufasa, when Noah was only 9 and Mufasa was less than a year old. This picture cracks me up because it looks like Moof is sticking his tongue out. He was probably trying to say "Moooooom, Noah always tries to tickle my belly when we play and puts the red dot on the ceiling where I can't get it, I'm not playing nice for a picture with him!"
