He was always an indoor cat - with just a few great escapes. I attribute the fact that he had such a long life to having lived the good life indoors. And, because he had such a long life, our lives were so much better than had we never known him. He gave us so much love and attention. I really miss him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617836.post-1125588525565287882005-09-01T10:28:00.000-05:002005-09-01T10:28:00.000-05:00Jim, Now there's the rub. People who love cats acc...Jim,<BR/> <BR/>Now there's the rub.<BR/> <BR/>People who love cats accept that they are independent, carnivores, who just happen to put up with human beings hanging around.<BR/> <BR/>While I'd never advocate anyone letting a cat live outdoors (and certainly not here in the Midwest), they do in fact survive despite a shortened lifespan.<BR/> <BR/>They essentially don't need us.<BR/> <BR/>The queen (a queen is a pregnant cat)that adopted us was a stray. We already had one cat, and I was opposed to taking in another cat, let alone one we suspected was pregnant.<BR/> <BR/>I remember it well as I sat on my porch, and it came up to cuddle - a gentle friendly cat. Out of the corner of it's eye it saw a rabbit, and in less than a second jumped out of my arms clear off the porch in one jump - startled the heck out of me. But it kept its claw retracted so as not to scratch me when it jumped, otherwise I would have been badly cut.<BR/> <BR/>I guess my presence spoiled the hunt that time for it failed to catch the rabbit, but it would on occassion come back with bird feathers matted to its fur.<BR/> <BR/>I gained incredible respect for any creature that can take or leave human beings. Frankly I believe humans are much less trustworthy than cats. <BR/> <BR/>If you treat a cat with love they respond in a gentle manner. No they don't "understand" human love, but they are mammals, and seem to understand the mother-kitten relationship quite well, and are willing play kitten for as long as they are treated properly.<BR/> <BR/>Other than an occassional playful nip of the tooth, or accidental scratch they never knowingly do evil, which is far different from human beings - just look at New Orleans for how people would act in any crises. And people mistreat each other even in the most civilized of settings, and say, "That's just business".<BR/> <BR/>Cats don't murder they hunt. Cats aren't cruel, they play.<BR/> <BR/>It's people I don't trust.<BR/> <BR/>Long live the feline! <BR/> <BR/>JeromeProphet<BR/> <BR/>www.jeromeprophet.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617836.post-1125578416533653892005-09-01T07:40:00.000-05:002005-09-01T07:40:00.000-05:00While I admire your cat's taste in blogs, I feel c...While I admire your cat's taste in blogs, I feel compelled to remind you that cats, to the extent they think about you at all, want you dead.<BR/><BR/>If they could figure out how to write checks on your account and work the can opener, they would kill you in your sleep without hesitation.<BR/><BR/>When cats cuddle up to you and purr, they are trying to lull you into a false sense of security.<BR/><BR/>I just thought you ought to know.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01386179153076053933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617836.post-1125541688297505112005-08-31T21:28:00.000-05:002005-08-31T21:28:00.000-05:00Anonymous 8:15, He's definately a wonderful little...Anonymous 8:15,<BR/> <BR/>He's definately a wonderful little person.<BR/> <BR/>Just a year old.<BR/> <BR/>Very contemplative, and a great sleeper.<BR/> <BR/>Big eater too, and extremely nice. Shy with new people.<BR/> <BR/>Just a nice guy. He's the girls favorite, and it's hard to ever get time with him - but to the girls dismay he's begun hanging out with me recently - ha!<BR/> <BR/>He's one of four cats - each a unique personality.<BR/> <BR/>He's a van, that is, he has a black tail, one black ear, the rest white.<BR/> <BR/>His brother is just the opposite, all black with white paws.<BR/> <BR/>I would be a liar if I said I didn't love my cats. <BR/> <BR/>Two years ago I forbid even a discussion of having even one cat, but my daughter put the pressure on, and I relented. <BR/> <BR/>Now, I'm totally sold on cats. They're worth all the time, money, and trouble a million times over. Everyone in the family feels the same.<BR/> <BR/>If I had a bigger house, I'd probably have a few more.JeromeProphethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01408226707299885597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13617836.post-1125450933264175522005-08-30T20:15:00.000-05:002005-08-30T20:15:00.000-05:00What a lovely cat.
