SuperK, you've got some cuties in those pictures. I'm honestly jealous.
My cat died a few years ago... her name was Ginger. She was 16. We found her, three houses ago, in a field. She never left us. When we moved (4km's) she managed to get lost in the procecss but somehow showed up at the new house, very dirty
She would sit on the back of the couch and make a huge sunrise scene of noseprints on the window.
She would lick your hair and face when you cried. I tell people thats how I got my cowlick.
She shed on EVERYTHING! It took at least two years after she died untill I quit finding her hair everywhere.
She would follow the sun as it crept across the floor.
She would beat away dogs and other scary things. Eat moths (which I hate) and chase bees and other flying insects.
She'd bring a mouse and the occassional snake home and disembowel it on the doorstep, a sign of love.
We came home from a week trip and found her behind the cold air return vent in the wall, I still don't know how she got in there, because she would have had to climbed down a vent and down to the basement, through the furnace, and back up to the 1st floor wall... craziness.
She got lost under my sister's bed once. She left the drawer under the bed open, and she crawled in and under, and then she shut the drawer... the bed has no legs, sits straight on the floor. Found her 3 days later.
She ate our hamsters and goldfish more than once each.
She would also knead anything she was sleeping on. Your face, your chest, stomach, legs, bed, couch, floor...
She would sleep RIGHT against your head so your nose would be in her back and you'd be sniffing her hair that you're allergic to all night long and wake up not being able to breath because your stupid body produced enough nose goo stuff to make you choke.
She got some crazy cancer where all of her insides grew these sacs filled with water and her insides filled with water and she was like a living waterballon, you could deflate her with a syringe.... so we put her down.
But she's dead now and my girlfriend is moving 8 hours away in 10 days.
Lucky SuperK.
I grew up with cats my whole life, love them, but sadly my latest (also oldest, 14years) passed away
