Wow its international cats day do u have a feline friend?
I just had some Chinese food, does that count?
Yes, Maowi! :)
I've had few cats before. Then it's been years without a pet. Then i got a cat like several months ago, kept it few weeks and gave it away! Unfortunately my lifestyle can't handle any pet anymore. They need care that i can't provide so there's no point.
This is Rumplestiltskin. He lurks in the dark corners of our apartment while jumping out from the most unusual places trying to scare us... And succeeding. Oh, he thinks he's a model, too.
When I was in Iowa, Dear Otis, I had several wonderful kitty friends... I think I already wrote here about River Rat, but I loved her so much...
She lived with my friend Billy, who was a combat veteran of both WWII and Korea. Billy was out Christmas shopping about twelve years ago, it was Christmas Eve and heard a mewling seemed to come from the Des Moines River (freezing with ice floes) behind the Target there.
Pulled the little calico kitten out of the plastic bag where it had been tossed, vet said no hope, Billy said "try anyway, no matter what."

Billy passed away this spring age 90, River Rat now old too...and I will always love them both very much.
I had them when i was younger. Can't have them now. Arabella considers them "playthings".
Friend? More of a benign master.
