Only one I would have.

We like dogs, but they are a pain in the a**, especially with kids in the house and travelling and springtime mud in the yard.

Cats are WAY easier and cleaner and fun in their own way. So we are dogless with 3 cats since our last pooch passed away. I miss the dog but not all the headaches.

I must have been a cat in a previous life, as there's some kind of cellular-level identification with them.
These are a few that have blessed me over the years with companionship & entertainment.
Every one has had a unique personality, and a couple were particularly perceptive and clever.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!!!!!!!

Ours, Gabby and Midge. Gabby in the foreground. Gabby is 14 this year. RIP midge.

He thinks he owns the place...

When someone tries to steal this one, it doesn't fight back...

This is my goof ball Diana. She's a rescue. A friend living in an apartment complex said someone had pushed her out the door and wouldn't let her back in. My friend took her in temporarily and asked me if I wanted to take her home and I am very glad I did She's been great.

Here's Lucy. She is THE most lovable & affectionate cat ever.

As she scratches the hood walking across it........


(petless at the moment here)

he loved the modem till it was changed to a tower Still likes the Direct TV box. I had to put a extension plate on the front as he would fall asleep and keep turning it off LOL 18 years old, pretty much deaf but otherwise doing well

Current cat is the orange floof; Riley. She's that 1-in-5 orange females. She's lucky she's so pretty and snuggly when she wants to be. Because otherwise, she's the most bone-headed cat we've ever had. She can't jump to save her life. Her own shadow scares her. She's a part-time outside cat, but if she needs to make.... she has to be let back inside to use the facilities. Refuses to make outside.

*sigh*

But we adopted her. She's our responsibility.


She's a far cry from my Korat, my little buddy..... Ivan. He wasn't a cat.... he was furry people. He played fetch. He'd walk on a leash. He LOVED car rides. He'd play in water --- he'd take showers..... his repertoire of commands would rival most dogs. And I'm not talking when you suggest to a cat, and they appear to do what they're told.... no.... if you told him "Bed" he'd go to his bed. If you said "Come", he'd stop whatever he was doing and join you by your feet.

I swear to God, this cat could pick up chicks. One time, when I still lived in the big city, I was walking him around the park, when out of nowhere these late teen / early 20's girls came running up and were just enthralled with him. So much so, that one girl scooped him up into her arms and of course the whole time he was just loving it. It took a few seconds and she even blurted out "Holy! I just picked up some strangers' cat!!

If I were smart, I would've asked for phone numbers. Pretty sad when a cat is an effective wing man.
Sadly, he disappeared one night. Don't know what was lurking around, but 5 people on our road lost pets that night. He's been gone 10 years now but we still talk about him.

He even liked my Quadraphonic 8-tracks.

COPY CAT LOL

Not even close - she never uses her guns. Here's Kimba on our deck with Lucy - Kimba is about 15 now & still acts like a kitten. Lucy is about 10 now - wow - seems like only a few years ago they were just kitts.

Tres Hombres, Maggie May, Maui, and Maks...

Here's our current oldest cat Jax in the first pic.
He's going to be 14 in a few months.

The second pic is our youngest Thor, the pic is several years old he's about 4 now IIRC.
