The thread posted about a movie with everyone's photos of their RB babies made me remember I had photos of my cat, Dusty, in my yahoo photo album. He was seventeen when he passed last year on December 12, my dad's birthday. Hope y'all don't mind me posting these, even though I just posted them in the other thread.
Here's one I took at an apartment I lived in, this was taken the summer of 2003. I would leave the door to my apartment open while I walked Bruno, and, Dusty would sneak down the stairs (no worries, he never made it to the bottom).

My mom took this one of me holding Dusty during Thanksgiving last year, a little less than a month before he died. This was the last time I saw my boy. :( He was living with me in Texas while my folks were stationed in Germany (til about August of 2003). He went home to South Carolina with them and spent his last couple months home with my mom and dad. My mom had him in SC with her for a couple months while she set up their condo. My dad got home in November, and, Dusty died in December. It was like he was waiting to be home with them. :)

These were taken the day before he passed. My mom just knew he wouldn't be around much longer. The first one is actually the chair he was laying in when he fell asleep and didn't wake up. It was his favorite spot and my dad's recliner (favorite spot) is connected to it (one of those double recliner things), they were pals.

Again, sorry for posting these twice, but, I really wanted to share my boy's pictures with all of you kitty lovers. He was my tenth birthday present, and, he and my RB boy, Bruno, were the last two real ties I had to my childhood, it was hard losing them so close together. Anyway, thanks for looking at the pictures and, even more thanks if you read the stories along with them. :)
