In fact, I even have an oil painting of my 2 cats (Jasmine & Mortimer) that my mother commissioned an artist to do for me (back in college) that still hangs in my house. My cats were there through my courtship wtih Hubster, early marriage, kids, etc. Eventually the cats got old and both passed away when the kids were very young; the kids only have blurry memories of them, but I really did love having them, and have great memories. They are fabulous pets, and when a cat loves you, you KNOW it is something special. :)<br /><br />Your Latte and Liger are gorgeous; and I loved seeing the pictures of them with Katie.Tracey Axnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07241222434446828594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-68328466955511216182011-03-03T10:14:14.697-08:002011-03-03T10:14:14.697-08:00How in the world did I miss this post!???? WTFudge...How in the world did I miss this post!???? WTFudge!? It is not like me to miss a post about BELOVED BEASTS! <br /><br />Inshallah (“God willing”) I will visit you one day. When I do, I will abscond with your babies in my pocket, because they are beyond adorable. I’ve got a separate pocket for my beloved Chumley, of course. <br /><br />I didn’t realize Katie had become paralyzed. I’m sure I’d read it in your posts, but I don’t remember it. I love Latte even more for keeping in the company of his beloved sister. <br /><br />When you cuddle and bathe your fur babies, you know your precious Katie’s hands were there once, doing the same. Her fingers combed through the very same fur you are now touching. It is too beautiful for thought and I’m beginning to cry. <br /><br />Our little critters know more than we’ll ever imagine. It is one of my most fervent wishes that God will allow me insight into my dogs’ brains to see what they saw, and to know what they knew. It would be magical to know their thoughts and their language for a moment. Bless your little furry ones, and I hope the ear heals up well. Your cats have Le Life for sure!<br /><br />XOXONajiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14530016194487801049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-69328891640776291052011-03-02T21:27:36.258-08:002011-03-02T21:27:36.258-08:00So happy to hear of all the joy Latte and Liger ha...So happy to hear of all the joy Latte and Liger have brought your family over the years.

I love this relationship/love they held with Katie...they were little nightingales. <br />They do have silly/different personalities. I will have to think hard about WHO my cats really are. {that could be fun?!}<br />I also find that cats are much more resilient in health issues...I am sure your whore bath and love will help that baby's ear!<br />xoxoxoxoBusy Bee Suzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18115487928147732314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-27414363531190822632011-03-01T17:37:23.832-08:002011-03-01T17:37:23.832-08:00Meoooowwww.

So sweet seeing her reach out for a stroke of that soft fur. Very bittersweet for you, I'm sure. <br /><br />OK..must laugh at the cat bath thing. Soo been there. I usually opt for taking to the vet sooner rather than later cuz I want her to hurry up and get over it (and stop making whatever the mess is). So kudos to you for holding out and keeping her ear clean. Hopefully your tender loving care will correct the problem and help her heal. <br /><br />Have to laugh at the cute pic of them going at each other. I'm glad you've got them to laugh at and keep you company.<br /><br />Maybe you should post a video of any further ventures into cat cleaning. I'm sure we'd all be amused. : )Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01256281745796890125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6994832747844483996.post-34242224324165843412011-03-01T15:50:10.052-08:002011-03-01T15:50:10.052-08:00What beautiful cats Karen!

Isn't it great when they become a part of the family too.<br />I keep telling myself that it is time to have another cat here...it's been 5 years since Rita our cat passed on. She was 17 years old and a really eccentric cat as well.

Of course she didn't get the cold shoulder! They knew. Oh how that brings back memories of my own.
