I am sure Sugar misses her original parents, but I am also sure she loves you too. I have a 16 year old boy myself, and I am trying to brace myself for the day he is gone too; it's just a heartbreaking thought. So try to do the very best you can with Sugar as I am doing, and know that you are giving her all the love you could possibly give as substitute parents. She is beautiful; you have done a great job with her.
:love::love::love:
That is so sad that Sugar has lost her Original Purrents, and so good that she was able to find someone who could take thier place as well as you have,
I pray that if anything takes me away from My Found Cats, that they will learn to be as happy at the Pampered Feline Shelter.
:D:D
Sugar certainly is a Colorful Cat and does not look anywhere near 16 years of age.
We are praying that you and Sugar have more happy yeras together, and that your love just grows and grows.

Hi from Montreal! Thanks for sharing Sugar's story. I am sure she misses her first family but bless you for taking her in - I work in rescue and so often people either dump the cats at a shelter or have them killed after the passing of a family member. Sugar is a smart cat by not eating dry food - it actually is known (although people prefer to ignore this) to cause obesity, renal failure, etc. when given as a main meal. Sadly many people prefer the convenience of that (and clumping litter) but it has horrible consequences on our furry friends. Think of it this way - would you want to eat nuts daily with next to no water - your organs would suffer and you would be huge.
Many plants are poisonous so you may want to do a google search to find out about yours.
My cat Beyli used to lick plastic bags too (even more when he was in renal failure (CRF). I found out that the bags have an oil on them so that they don't stick together and Beyli was in need of that oil to soothe his stomach from the acid forming. I started giving him famotidine (like Pepcid) and it helped him a lot (vet recommended). It would be good, if you haven't done so, to have a bloodtest done asap to see why she isn't well - this is considered a roller coaster of an illness, but treatable (with Famotidine, Fortekor for blood pressure (or Benazepril) and sometimes Sub Q's. So many illnesses are treatable once we know what to do - vets often don't advise us of the options for some reason...
I am honored with my cat Caramel's hugs every time I get home - heaven!
Take care.
I agree that you are doing a fine job with Sugar!! :D There are a few select that merely tolerate us and we should be flattered indeed. Sugar is the perfect COTD!! Our Spicy is elderly and has been misbehaving SO badly :eek: :p Just gotta love'em and hope they change HA! as if. :mad: Lovin' Sugar and family, peace and love :D:D:D:D:D
Sounds like you are doing all the right things for Sugar! I hope she stays around many more years so you can receive those awesome hugs from her. That must be priceless:love:.
Magandang umaga, senyorita! You're a fine-lookin' gal for sixteen! I'm also glad that you were taken in by your new mom and dad after your first mommy passed on. When I read how you reacted when you thought your original mom was the one tapping on the window, I felt for you and your new mom--you both must miss your first mama so much!
I wish you health and happiness in the years to come; I know your folks appreciate you very much not only for your diva presence, but also because through you, the memory of your first mom is still very much alive.
Sige, ingat ka mahal! Lagi kang magpakaganda! :)
Hello Sugar,
You have a very interesting story. I'm sorry you lost your first family.
I know you must still miss them sometimes, but your new famiy loves
you very much & they want you to be happy & comfortable too.:)
Congratulations on being our beautiful CAT OF THE DAY.:love: I hope
you enjoy your special day of honor sweetheart.:)
Sugar, you are a beautiful calico kitty lady! I'm glad your new daddy spoils you so much :) And you give hugs too-- how sweet! Happy Cat of the Day!
Sugar what a beauty you are!!! :love:
How wonderful that you have a second family to love you and take care of you. :) I'm sure you love them in your own way.
Congratulations, sweetie, on being our very special Cat of the Day!!! :D :love:
Hi Sugar...nice to see your colorful face today!
You sort of remind me of my Gypsy, who was 16 years old when she passed away...she was a tortie though, not a calico like you...
I hope that everyday is COTD for you, Sugar! :love:
(Note to Sugar's humans: please be careful with the houseplants, as many are toxic...particularly any type of lily. And - at her age, Sugar may be losing weight due to hyperthyroidism, so she should be checked out for it. My Gypsy had it, and live healthily for 5 years with meds after she was diagnosed).
Hi sweet Sugar, a very happy Cat of the Day to you, percious girl! I have to tell you sweet Sugar, your bittersweet story touched me deeply and brought a tear to my eye. I'm so very sorry to hear of the very sad passing of your beloved parents, but so very grateful to you dear human brother and his wife for taking you in in your time of need, doing all in their power to provide you with a happy, peaceful home in your golden years...Most of all, we thank them for loving you unconditionally, just the way you are!:love: No creature could ask for more, and personally, I do believe you love them back as well, just as much, in your very own special way!:)
Thanks to your dear family for sharing your beautiful self and your heart wrenching, uplifting, inspirational story with us all! You truly are one very special kitty, Sugar, and so very worthy of being crowned Cat of the Day!!!:) I hope you and your family are enjoying a very special day of celebration, and hoping for you all, many, many more happy, carefree years together! Lots of love to you, precious Sugar!:love::love::love:
Sugar is a lovely cat. She looks so serious. Perhaps she still misses her original parents, but I am sure that she appreciates the love that she receives every day. She is very lucky to have a human Mom and Dad who care so much for her.
What a beautiful girl! I love her pretty face. Congratulations on being Cat of the Day today!

Sugar,
You are beautiful and special. We used to have a kitty who also loved plastic bags.
Big hugs and kisses to you Sugar!
Dear Sugar,
I think you are very sweet. Not everyone (nor every cat!) expresses love in the same way. What a struggle you must have! You loved your first purrents very much...you sense your new purrents are somehow an extention of your lost beloveds...plus you love them but do not want to feel "disloyal" by being too demonstrative toward your new purrents.
Such challenges for a beauty queen like you!
But you are loved and love in return - in your own unique way...
And if you want to nibble plants and lick plastic bags - or not...after 16 wonderful years - do WHATEVER you want to do!
With blessings...
Edwina
