Fun Stuff > CHATTER
We love our pets!

I can't remember if I've said this before, but my mom made a little shrine for the cat I'd had during childhood (he died three years ago this month) and honestly every time I see it, I miss him like crazy, but it does make me happy to see his face. She has his ashes in a box on a shelf with pictures of him and us and a few cat knicknacks that people gave us over the years because of him. I don't know if it was something you were thinking of doing, but for me personally, it makes me feel like he's still around, watching us lazily from some unseen place.
In other kitty news, my bff (also next door neighbor) adopted Kisa's brother, Loki, a while back and he's finally gotten comfortable in her house and is now social. (He looks almost exactly like Kisa, except he's all brown tabby, no white.) The other night we were visiting and he was playing and meowing up a storm, so I started meowing back. I can do a decent impression of what Kisa sounded like while she was in heat and it was confusing the crap out of poor little Loki. This is the first time I've actually confused a cat into thinking it was talking to another cat. I've had conversations with cats, but I actually almost scared this one. It was hilarious. I think Kisa got all of the brains and Loki got all of the cuddliness. Part of me wishes it was the other way around, though. :-P

It's kinda weird, but both the wife and I have felt immensely better since we got her ashes back.
We plan on just keeping them in the columbarium, with some of the fur she had on her.
Masterpiece:
So I had suspected my dad of just throwing my cat away in the trash (he really never was much of an animal person), but when I asked him he said "I could never have done that." Apparently he buried him close to his workplace and put a huge boulder on top of the grave so strays won't dig him out.
My dad says he suspects him having a stroke. I wish I could have been there in his last minutes to be with him.
Carl-E:
My backyard is a nearly-full cemetery. Four cats, over a dozen pet rats, several hamsters... I ran out of corners and markers a few years ago.
Zingoleb:
My dog died literally three days before I got home last December.
I had a dream about him last night.
I miss that stupid fucker.
So I just went through all my old pictures of him, cried a bit, and now you get the photo-dump.
dem baby-blue deer-brown eyes.

see, petey was a rescue dog.
a purebred dalmation - and his mother was less than a year old.
and when he was born, he came out legs first.
...at which point his mother chewed them off.
It's not like he was unhappy. He never knew any different.
If anything, all the doting on him for his condition turned him into the biggest snugglebug of all time.
(That would be Snickerdoodle, my former neighbour's dog.)
He loved my cat, Awwdabooboo.
He got along with every animal we've ever had and traveled so very well.
That would be Woody, my Jack Russell/Beagle mix, who is still alive and still a pain in the ass.
And that's Simba, a dog both me and Petey grew up with. He was still a puppy, even after he had been shot, even after he had been hit by a car, right up until he died a few years ago at 14. Petey and Simba played together all the time as puppies, and I miss them both terribly.
At least they're together now.
