I'm not new but my post count may seem like it. I am mostly a lurker and only come out of the shadows sometimes. Cecil's murder has made me want to post again. It makes his needless death seem somewhat less awful to see Walter Palmer as hunted as his hapless prey and the donations and light shone on trophy "hunting" that maybe the tide has finally turned. Hearing about the kids of others always make me smile. I will pull out pics of my kids for anyone willing to see and listen to tales of their exploits. I haven't had the good fortune to have a future member of my family find me in a long time, but have many from my past. My life is filled with those spirits that I miss everyday but will see no more on this earth, I only hope that they wait for me. Thank you for sharing about your precious fuzzy faces, I love talking cat, the names you gave are great! I recently learned that my biggest boy is a Norwegian Forest Cat with a Viking pedigree, but all 16 pounds of him will run from the slightest movement. So majestic, So cowardly. I had a Sammy too and he was one who found us. We moved into an apartment and whoever lived there before just left him. He lived on the porch for who knows how long before we moved in. He became our fearless racoon fighter until his fighting days were done. They gifted us with him for 6 years and never knew it. Give yours a kiss for me!
