I really want to thank you for it. <br /><br />You're right about most people don't understand cats. We didn't until we got Maxie and started learning about them. Lions and other big cats have what they call a pride, and the little cats do, too, if you allow them to be outside cats as well as inside. They gather in the neighborhood and they are very territorial. <br /><br />Most people think cats are standoffish, but that isn't so. They give you as much attention as you give them.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01843816981385732033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-32996474618981769692010-02-23T11:33:04.229-06:002010-02-23T11:33:04.229-06:00Thank you, Belinda.

We had her cremated and keep a tribute to her of her ashes, collar, toys, and picture on the bookcase. People who do not have animals do not realize how much a part of your life they become. We have two cats also (ages 16) and know there will be a time when they will not be around anymore.

Then one day last fall I heard a weak little meow, and a gray, orange, and white calico kitten staggered out of the bushes. I was drinking hot chocolate at the time, and she almost went wild for it. She was so thin we could see she was starving so we gave her some food. She went to sleep in my lap. Since that day she's been to the vet, terrorized the dog, and generally made herself at home in our hearts and home. We named her Casey.Elaine Cantrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05668294337075373288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4156580044494347982.post-48638557048274653272010-02-21T17:12:48.697-06:002010-02-21T17:12:48.697-06:00Thank you, Becca.

I wouldn't change his food just because he didn't feel like eating it. I would let it sit there until he got hungry. lol Ron would come along behind me and change it.
