TT8: 13 Favorite Cat Photos
|
13 of My Favorite Photos of my Cats
I only have two left now from the clan... so this is partly a trip down memory lane too.
In 1991 I got a kitty named Olivia (no pictures of her scanned) but Olivia was a wild and free spirited kitty. She would jump out windows to get outside. When I moved out in 1992 she took up to living under the house next door with a clan of wild cats. One night she came home with a gash on her paw. I sent her to live with my mom. After my car accident I moved back with my mom but Livie really had become her own cat.
So in 1994 one day I walked into the wrong pet store (looking for the one that my mom's parrots were at) and saw the cutest thing I'd ever seen. I adopted LizBeth immediately. She became my mini me. In 1995 I moved out and took the two cats with me. Later in the Fall of that year Olivia escaped the house and got into some kind of poison and when I came home one night she was terribly ill. She died. I was wrecked.
So my mom says there is this lovely cat she knows of that needs a home. I go and meet Jessica (aka Kitty) and bring her home. Then in March 1996 Lydia is adopted in to the family, my birthday gift. She was a skinny little wreck of a cat, but she cleaned up into a Princess.
Then for Christmas 1996 Theodore and Charlie came along. Brothers. Sadly Charlie had some weird stomach illness and died in the summer of 1997. He was such a loving boy and so beautiful. His brother Teddy Bear became my man, my mama's boy, and he is still to this day.
The 4 Fat Cats moved with me into my townhouse, and then into the apartment in the city. Lizbeth died of kidney failure in the summer of 2004. It wrecked me, it was so sudden. I still miss her so much. The 3 kitties moved around with me a lot these last couple of years, braving it out with their mom. Sadly Lydia died of cancer just before Christmas (2007). I miss her so much too.
Now it is just Bear and Jessa, oddly enough. I say that because when the boys came along in 1996 Jessica used to attack them and jump on them any chance she could. Bear never forgot, over the years whenever he could he made Jessa's day hell by stalking her and jumping on her (getting her back).
Now it is just the two of them...
