Awww, little Khajiit is cute! Is he/she solid black?

Almost! She has 4 or 5 strands of white on her chest. Her name is Maggie.

Adorable kitten, Cain!

Thanks! She's grown a bit since then, but she is still pretty wee.

Maggie

Khajiit has always wanted a solid black cat.

Maggie is helping with the paperwork! That is awful thoughtful of her!

She is sitting on my Skyrim notes from the last dead is dead competition. She ended up stealing the pen behind her.


Me too. That's why we jumped when we saw her. Black cat with green eyes.

Well you got a cutie that's for sure!

Thanks! Here's the old ladies:

Audrey
Lily

Oh, I love their coloring, Cain!

Thanks, Acadian! They picked us. We got them from the humane society about a year and a half ago. Poor girls were 11 years old at the time, and someone had given the up.

D'Aaaaw!!!!! How adorable!









Audrey looks a bit miffed over having her picture taken, lol. Lily is just plain gorgeous! Have to love a red haired cat!

I think it is Awesome you gave these cats an obviously loving home - kind of scary what their alternative might have been! Really nice, Cain!

Thanks mALX. Scary indeed - they had already been at the shelter for six months. I fear what would have happened if we hadn't stumbled upon them. We actually had gone there for a different cat, but Audrey stole my wife's heart in the waiting area.

I'm so glad you and your wife found her! I don't know what the wait time is where you live, but where I live = Audrey would not have been there that long at all. They give a little more time for kittens, but not for older pets. (because they think kittens are more adoptable for a longer period; and an older cat will not be as desirable to adopt).

I'm not sure what the time range is, but I'm honestly surprised they were there that long. It always makes me sad to see older pets there for a long time.

Wow, it seems those cats have some lives left. I'm so glad you came along to scoop them up and give them a nice home

In my mind, they will live forever!

My son's cat Goku (15 years old) has been having a few issues this past month, but nothing we could put our finger on and say something may be wrong. It mostly appeared to be behavioral, and yet...not understandable behavioral issues. But despite how it appeared, I did notice he was eating more and losing weight. Still, he stayed actively taunting the dog; running to his bowl if you shook the "Temptations" box - acting like he was perfectly fine, so the other symptoms just didn't seem that crucial since he didn't act sick at all.

Well, he was very sick, we just never knew it. He had suddenly stopped using the litter box about a week or so ago. Then suddenly yesterday he didn't want to eat - unheard of with this cat. By last night he had stopped drinking; by today he had stopped using the bathroom...and worse, he stopped moving. He lay down and didn't get up. I raced him to the Emergency Veterinary Hospital.

All the fancy expensive tests they wanted to order, we couldn't afford. So I opted for a low cost X-ray and Ultrasound as an exploratory action. It turns out Goku was eaten up with cancer. His liver was no longer viable, the primary liver cancer had metastasized to his lymph nodes and was now systematic. He would have died within a day on his own had I not brought him in - and suffered. So I'm glad the Veterinarian was there to at least ease that for him.

My son left work and met me at the Vets. We said goodbye to our Awesome companion for the last 15 years. We will love you forever, Goku.

Aww.

Condolences to you and your son. 15 years is a long time - most of your son's life and I'm sure he'll take it hard. I'll be interested to see if Boo Boo the dog misses her tormentor or not.
