thanks for this! definitely lifted my spirits, this part of the forum can get so 'doom and gloom' sometimes.
12, no, 13 years of living in this house, and our cat has been there since day one. my uncle lived in an annex before we moved in and Pickles was there. it is a bit sad when i remember that he can't jump the fences like he used to, but he gets along with my hamsters very well for a cat.....i think older felines are just mellow like that. are they? i hope he stays around for much longer.
one of the only times i have seen my mother cry is when we adopted a black kitty when i was around 7, or 8. i had no other pet back then and we clicked, i think. we eventually had to give him up again since we couldn't keep him for whatever reason and, maybe, i got a little teary too.
