how many cats have been in your lives

[carole]

Can u remember all the cats in your lives and their names and what happened to them or are there too many to remember, i can so i shall bore u all with it. bear with me lol
There was susie , a black and white cat on the farm when i was a kid,she lived to a ripe old age, i also had sooti number one, my much longed for kitten, when the lady down the road, who i was very fond of as a kid died she left two kitties behind, as i child i prayed every night to get a kitten, and i finally did, sadly many weeks after we shifted he disappeared, then we had cindy, a tabby, into my teens.
Then came my own cats, kelly i adopted from spca, i shifted her from wellington to hamilton city about 5 o 6 hrs away, she stayed with me then my mum for ages then just left one day, she was my 2nd black cat.
Then along came tammy my black kitten, she was adorable, again she disappeared after coming back from the cattery, then after that its been a big gap of 18 years because of my allergy and my sons asthma, and then along came ash big old ash, number two sooti adopted originally from spca, and then his owner could not keep him as he was off to jail, hmm, so i took him and his little friend a beautiful kitten of 4mths, beautiful cameo colour, he was adopted by a young lady at my husbands work and is a real cuddly little man, and very pampered.
And now finally my lexie.
ok folks now tell my about as many as u can remember pm if u like i never tire of these stories.

My parents were given Lindy (Short for Belinda) as a wedding gift. So she was three years old when I was born. Lindy survived and played with me and my two younger siblings and the introduction of other family pets. (Several hamsters, fish, my beautiful Bonnie (Rabbit) and Lucky (G-Pig) and our family dog Amber.

Lindy was a calico cat and very pretty. She lived to be 16 years old but her kidneys failed and she had to be put to sleep.

Recently we have adopted George & Milly but there is alread enough stuff on this forumm about them !!

I had three so far.

I got my Aysche in the summer of 1984, a little Persian girl, when I was 18. The sad thing was that Aysche was infected with the FIP virus, and she died at the age of 1 year and 9 months... This is Aysche:



My next cat was my Katz, a tux girl. I've spent 14 long years of friendship with her until I had to let her go to the Rainbow Bridge. Her little heart has failed and she left me devastated:



After that loss, I decided that life's just too hard without another fur ball in it, so I got Luna! And Luna will probably have a little sister soon, Lily.

[Anakins mom]

Growing up we had:
Blackie...a sleek black cat that disappeared.
MittensTigerPaws aka Kitty. A cat given to our family by a friend, named by the three of us kids and shortened to 'Kitty'.

After I married I went without a cat until we built our house 14 years ago.
Then we had:
Missy...disappeared before she was 4 months old, we think she was stolen.

Grace - RIP
Charity - RIP
Naomi - 12 years old
Ember - 5 years old
Mystery - 3 1/2 years old
Miss Indy - soon to be 1 year old
Asia - 10 weeks old this weekend!

Kirsten, your Aysche was gorgeous!!! What a furr!

I've had cats all the time as a kid, but I do not know how many exactly..! The sad thing is that I lost them ALL to the busy traffic in front of our house...

Since 2,5 years, we are having cats again.
My first, Sydney, died just before his second birthday, of a heart attack.


Now we have Maya (calico girl) and Inka (MainCoon mix)

Thanks lut! She was indeed a cutie! Too sad that the little angel wasn't supposed to stay with us for a long time, like your Sidney, she died very young...

Oh I wish I was at my house so I could scan and post pic's of all my kittys.
The first cat I had was in grade school.. PUFF the magic kitty , 24 pounds, black and white. I moved to Seattle and he stayed with my parents untill old age over came him and they had to put him to sleep.
Salem, pure white, was my first cat in Seattle. She had kittens and they all died and so did she. Distemper. I was unaware of shots for cats.
Leroy Lamont, pure black. He lived to his mid 20's. He was my life, my best friend.
And now Kelcee, who I miss tons, while I'm here in Oregon.

I was a ripe old 35 before I got my first cat - what was I waiting for??? Now I can't imagine life without at least one!

Murf (1991-2002) My first best kitty friend. He was a fluffy orange and white Maine Coon mix. He taught me all I know about being owned by a kitty.

Squee (RB? 1994) Gray and sleek and sweet - but not very smart - he was only 9 months old when he disappeared. But before he went, he nursed me back to health from surgery and 3 months of recovery. He left the day the doctor said I was ok. Perhaps he moved on to nurse someone else that needed him?

Daisy (1994-2000) My sweet tuxedo girl - she was joy covered in fur!

Winston (1999- ) Gray tabby - Born blind, he has helped me learn patience and stillness! He is sweetness and gentleness in a fur coat.

Noodle (2002 - ) Tortie girl - she has a wild streak and has energy beyond belief!

That's my kitty life in a few sentences - I am so proud to have been their meowmee!

I have had 2 cats. I had muffin:

who i only had for 2 years and we let her outside (a big mistake) she ended up getting an infection and tape worms .. .and my parents ended up putting her down. I still think they did it just cause they didn't want to pay for the treatment .. i was so mad when that happened ..

And of course i have Toby now. now ... for cat #3 ..

When I was growing up we had several cats. Smokey was the first cat and he was a very large gray tabby. He got hit by a car and was killed. The second cat was Puff. She had 2 litters of all orange kittens and died at around the age of 12 years or so. I was away at college and my mom didn't even tell me until much later because she said she didn't want to upset me. This made me more upset. Here's a picture of my Puff. Her best friend Lucky, the family dog, is on the right.


We then got a black female cat my brother named Charcoal. She had some behavioral problems and peed on the carpet too many times so my Mom said we had to take her back to the pet store. My Mom later brought home a grey and orange tortie looking kitten. We named her Mitzy. My brother was mean to her and she became a strange cat. I think he did something to her mind. Later on she became very withdrawn and depressed and my parents decided to have her put to sleep. The vet even asked if they were sure. Unfortunately I couldn't do anything to help her.

I became very lonely and missed having animals around me so I decided to get a cat. I went to the Humane Society and Storm picked me to be his owner. He's 7 now and a very happy, social, and healthy cat. He needed a friend so I adopted another male cat named Ceasar. He was older than Storm and orange and white. Unfortunately things didn't work out and I had to return him to the rescue place. I think he had to be an only cat.

I then adopted a 9 week old black male kitten named Pepper. He was a wonderful cat and Storm's best friend. He went to RB this past February. He was alomost 6 years old. I miss him so much.

I also adopted a 3rd cat named Sunny and he's my aby/tabby orange and white boy. He's quite a character and got along with both Storm and Pepper very well. He'll be 3 in late August.

On March 10th I adopted another cat named Cirrus. He's only 9 months old now but very large. Storm and Sunny get along with him fairly well but not as well as with Pepper. It will take some time but I'm sure they'll become great friends soon. He's been licking Sunny's head so it's only a matter of time. I sure hope that my current 3 cats will be able to live long happy and healthy lives.
