  • I like to believe that cats truly do have 9 lives. But each of their lives is the entire time that they spend with an owner. While you got 18 years of wonderful companionship, she got to spend 0.1111111 of her entire lifespan being treated as a best friend and closest companion.

    Some problems can only be fixed by a cat and some of the lives that some cats endure are surely more difficult than others. I’m sure she’s with her next assignment and still thinking about what a wonderful 18-year reprieve you gave her and I’m sure other cats are aching for their turn to spend a life with you based on reputation.


  • I rescued a cat a few months ago from in front of my work. She turned out to be a 13-year-old sweetheart who was abandoned by her original owner. She was so loving and cuddly and incredibly happy to interact with anyone.

    As much as it warmed my heart that she loved to cuddle on me and next to me, there was something about the texture of her fur, the structure of her joints and bones, and her size:weight ratio that gave me a huge feeling of ick that I simply couldn’t shake. I always felt nauseous while petting her, it felt like a furry underweight roasting chicken. I wanted so badly to cuddle her and loved her so much (from a distance).

    I’d take care of all of her feeding and cleaning and my wife took care of all the longer interactions/cuddles. She also hated our dog and was stressed out by our dog’s mere existence. I’m glad that we eventually got her into a new happy, loving home. I still miss her head bumps, mews, purrs, and licks.

    That’s why seeing people love their cats like this vicariously makes me feel so happy. I get to read and share how happy your cat makes you without any of the physical interaction.


  • I recently learned that I’m not a cat-person and it made me very sad. Y’all loving your kitties like Pliny and Taco Bob while posting pics and stories makes me feel the warmth and happiness that I wish I felt petting a cat. Thank you for sharing your kitties with people like me.



  • That is an adorable name and I wish all of you the comfort you need and Navi the health she deserves. As painful as it can be for you, being with Navi makes it less painful for her. I cuddled my dog extra tight last night thinking about Navi.
