This is Simon. He was a VERY vocal cat, and quite demonstrative when he wanted to be scratched or get ear-rubs. He met an untimely end not long after I got this shot, thanks to a neighbor with an un-leashed Rottweiler. My cousin and her family were devastated.

:sad: What a beautiful kitty...so sad!

We had another sad story with my neighbor's cat last week - relatively young tomcat (castrated) lost to urinary problems. Two or three days and Gucio was gone :frown: He was ruling the area.

...wow, not a good week for kitties :cry:. I'm going to go cuddle my cat now.

We've had this going on outside our back door for some time now. We have a visitor that looks much like the black and white cat in the video -we call him black and white kitty :rolleyes: - that our young male cat, Jack, doesn't like. Apparently they have tired of fighting, so they just sit and yell at each other while nose to nose.

One of little E and Mr. Big in February. Her first word (spoken shortly thereafter) was "kitty-cat"... and it's still her favorite (with variations of "kitty" and "cat" depending on mood).

My mother adopted a pair of twin Ocicats from the vet. They were given up. She was great at taking in unwanted animals.
