(LOVE & HOPE) It does not matter if you're all grown up. You are still my baby bro.

Agreed. We buried her in my folks' "pet cemetery" out back, where we had previously buried the four cats I grew up with, four dogs, and two of my cats I had as an adult, one a calico that had passed the year prior.

It was rather jarring, as I was digging the hole for Sophia (the Russian blue) with a pitchfork, after stabbing the Earth with it -- to bring it up and see it had pierced through the calico's skull!

When the Siamese went, I made sure to choose a different location...

This new chewy cat is also a calico, and I'd like her to be able to live to the 20 years the calico and the cat before her lived to. I like to think I'm doing something right, getting to two decades. That's why when Sophia went it was even more tragic, because she was out of order -- she died at 16, and the 18-year-old was still alive; we had "expected" her to go first, but it took her a few more months.

How sad, reliving these events. I'm looking forward to talking with @haejin on Saturday -- let's end on something positive! :)

The orange tabby is the Bastard who's been chewing my microphones! The white one ignores me. He's a sensitive Maine coon breed, likes Mommy the best.

I have a cute little Russian blue friend who does the same thing!

What's wrong with these cats? lol

:) Ours will electrocute herself, someday... We've had to tape up my wife's Mac power cord, electrical tape seems to be a decent deterrent as well as protection if they do decide to gnaw. I miss my Russian blue, she passed last year along with a Siamese, 16 and 18.

I hope your cat doesn't self electrocute! Most cats are so curious and have weird habits! Sorry to hear about Russian Blue...it brought me tears because losing a pet is like losing a child.

My cat Ollie has a thing for telephone wires! No matter how well they are hidden/ buried, he still finds a way to disconnect our house telephone periodically!

Smart cat :)

Something about these orange tabbies and them being bastards, lol! Ours is the exact same way, his name is Cheddar. Our maine coon is Figaro, he likes being bribed with cheese and turkey slices.

동물의 사랑도 사람의 그것과 진배없다 생각되는 사진입니다.
감사히 보았습니다 스타쥬노님~

바쁘신데 또한번 수고가 많으시네요^^
전 동물을 워낙 이뻐하니까...
그냥 제 눈에 보이는 동물들도 서로 이뻐해주고 돌봐주는 사진을 올려 봤어요.
