My own black cat will be 17 if she lives until August, which I doubt. She's seeing me out of pet ownership. I'll miss her, and cats, like crazy. I've had three, and I just can't take their leaving me anymore. I grieve for years.<br /><br />Sharon K. GarnerSharon K.

At 15 lbs., that means my leg usually falls asleep before she does, but she's a great companion. Except for being afraid of bugs.

As he ambled around checking us out, greeting us one-by-one, rubbing our legs, stretching leisurely by lowering first his front half, then his rear half, I found myself wishing that I handled change half as well as he did."Jane K.

Once traveling around Maine visiting antique shops I found a lifesize cat statue that I fell in love with. It was very heavy, made of cement, so I didn't want to cart it back to Cali with me. Now it would be even more expensive. I these many years later I still have it on my mind and still regret not paying the $5. for it and carrying it back to place in my home.

The cat, named Tiger in the book, is based on two real cats I've known, one orange, one named Tigerli, both very vocal -- they liked to "talk" to people -- and both independent but cuddly.

When I moved to New Orleans for a few years back in the early 80s, I carried him on a two-plane flight from New York in his carrier and he behaved beautifully. <br /><br />Living with him was like having a cheerful, friendly but self-contained teenage nephew in the house. He made friends with another cat in the courtyard and brought him over to our place to hang out. And he loved dribbling bottle caps down the hall.<br /><br />Thanks for bringing up the memory. And I'll be sure to check out Deadly Threads. <br /><br />Member MWA-NY<br />bornbefore theboom@blogspot.comJoan Kane Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04802501163461996982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6348734432793771357.post-39376568156636841492011-04-22T10:36:03.793-05:002011-04-22T10:36:03.793-05:00Uh ... that's Maine Coon.
