I found a picture of my late cat
Edited on Sat Feb-23-08 10:21 AM by MissHoneychurch
when she was a year old or two. She died 3 years ago. I still miss her :cry:




And here she is just a couple of month old, right after we got her.



Her name was Octavia and she was a devil. But she was MY devil :loveya:

3. Her grandma was a Persian
that is why she had a bit more fluffy hair than a normal house cat.
It is a really cute pic of her.

5. Neat! My kittehs have some Maine Coon in them, but it mostly just shows in
their faces and how chirpy they are.

13. Actually the camera flash played with the eye color a bit. He has amber with maybe a touch
of green at the edges. His sis is a grey and brown tiger. She's got moss green eyes that are HUGE. :D

Heee! I *love* the second pic. It looks like she was having great fun pretending to be ferocious in the wild.

15. Oh my gosh..
I just love black cats! :-) And, I dread the day I might lose either of mine. This will sound really selfish, but I hope they live longer than I do!

19. Black cats are special
as are red ones.

I need to get me a black and a red one :D

It is hard to lose a fur baby. Octavia was almost 16, so she had quite an age.

23. She was born in 1989
and died in 2005. The last 10 years of her life (so to spek most of her life) she lived with my mom. But for some reason it was always my cat. I just didn't live in places I could have a cat. Or didn't had the time. But I visted her often and then she always slept on me :D

She was born in a barn but grew up to be the queen of the household ...

31. I remember when Ginger was little and fluffy like that baby picture of Octavia.
Melts my heart. :loveya:

There's nothin' sweeter than a little, fluffy, naughty kitten. Here's a photo of my little sister and me with our first kittens. We found these stray kitties living under the trailer we lived in one horribly hot summer in Kentucky. We fell instantly in love. :loveya:

33. They had worms!!!!
My mom was so freaked out that we were handling stray kittens that she immediately forced us to take a bath while my dad took the kittens to the vet. :rofl: My mom has always been kinda freakishly over-concerned about us kids getting worms, head lice, scabies, ring worm, etc. -- probably because she was a first-grade teacher for so many years and encountered so many little kids with those ailments. :shrug:

34. LOL
You know, it didn't kill us to play in dirt and handling stray kittens. Sometimes I feel nowadays kids are being protected way too much.

At least your dad took them to the vet and not somewhere else.

28. Awwwww . . .
Octavia is filling your heart with fond memories.

Even though my cat passed away over a year ago, sometimes I still sense her presence.

Cats are so special!

:hi: :hug: :loveya:

It is hard to come home and not be greeted by a kitty cat.

41. Yes, I did
I get to be one of the villagers. Though it's not paid, I'm the same as any other cast member--rehearsal and study and preparation and costumes.

37. Sorry, no pics of my baby.
I do have pictures, but just got a scanner and haven't figured out how to use it just yet.

But my baby was 15 or 16 (can't quite remember) when I had to put him down. I was the only family member that he would sleep with. He was a long hair ginger cat and he used to eat the most remarkable things, like asparagus. He would shake our hand when prompted and we had it timed perfectly for him to run figure 8's through my legs while I walked.

I walked around like a zombie for a week after his death and I still miss him to this day. I feel your pain MissHoneychurch.:hug:
