My parents have two cats, one named Black Cat and the other named Orange Cat. Orange Cat was my cat when I lived with them. They also have a dog, Patches. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Interestingly (although unsurprisingly) it seems a significant portion of the pets people here have owned have since passed on. How does everyone else here handle living with and losing (possibly repeatedly, if they have several pets) a creature with a much shorter lifespan?

I hava a dog, a black Lapland's shepherd with white underbelly and golden legs. It also has reddish-brown mane and eyeglass markings around it's eyes. We named it Piki, but I more often call a dog, a wolf or simply an idiot. It's lazy when it should be active and active when I'm trying to sleep. Should've spent more attention to training it when it was young. Nowadays it's five or six years old. It's cuddly and relatively well-behaving, and generally nice to have around. Makes the best pillow in the world, at least until it gets bored and decides to walk away. -------------------- Life is a neverending carneval where everyone has multiple costumes.

quote:I think all cats would like that. A full belly and a warm place before they go to sleep... This reminds me of how on of my relatives' had two cats. One of the died recently. The cat was a pretty orange, and nice to pet. But, she was old. And it was her time. The other cat really missis her. -------------------- Muffins n' Hell|Muffins n' Hell: The Muffins Are Back Again I have an addiction to Spiderweb games.

Fish. Not mine though, I ignore them every time of the day. I only feel very briefly sorry for them whenever I happen to accidentally knock the glass with my hand, or my bag, or my hip... There's not really that much room to pass, and sometimes I don't quite make past it peacefully. And we used to have a dog. At least twice I dressed it up. We couldn't afford to keep him anymore, so he got sold away at five years old. I was around.. 10? I forget, but years ago anyway. We also didn't train him particularly well. But man, he was a sweet dog. :\ -------------------- Pannaan kaikki hippulat vinkumaan! ^_^ Ooh! Homepage - Blog - Geneforge, +2, +3 - My Elfwood Gallery and DevArt page So many strange ones around.

The power struggles in the house of Nicothodes must be ferocious to behold. That even includes the pets. To the family of Kelandon...highly, well, utilitarian if not overly creative names. That said, though my cat's name was Baghira, I mostly called him "silly boy." Andraste - your kitty looks like something straight out of the jungle with those stripes. Way cool cat. -S- -------------------- A4 Items • A4 Singleton • G4 Items • G4 Forging • G4 Infiltrator • NR Items • The Lonely Celt Posts: 2009 | Registered: Monday, September 12 2005 07:00 |

Wow, that's rough Diki. Personally, the death of Maggie was the first real loss of life I was old enough to understand. It was devastating, but she lived a good life, eleven years old. -------------------- i dont ned noo steenking signachur. Posts: 1186 | Registered: Friday, June 18 2004 07:00 |

When my dog died 2 weeks short of being 13 years old. At the the time I was 16 and I had that dog since I was 4. His loss hit me hard. -------------------- A rock has weight whether you admit it or not Posts: 479 | Registered: Wednesday, July 12 2006 07:00 |

Though I agree with Dikiyoba and Ephesos, losing a pet which I literally grew up with can make me just as said. My cat died two years ago. He was there when I was born, I was at school when he died. He was one of the dumbest animals in Holland. He probably didn't even have real cat instincts and thought he was a human, as he mostly saw only humans. He didn't chase mice, only panicked and cried when we wanted him to climb a tree, so as a cat he was worthless, but as a friend he was the best: never scratches, only bitten somebody once in his entire life. And for the rest he wanted love, and when you gave it, he rewarded you with some of his own love-giving. Yes, the house feels empty when I come back from vacation: i don't hear his steps and meowing when we open the door and I don't feel his soft fur. This probably sounds very melodramatic. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!
