I have rheumatoid arthritis and it's hard to walk a dog in a leash, or even chase one of it took off! Therefore I am a proud crazy cat lady. In 2006 there were 7 living with me, but over the last few years four of the older ones have gone to their reward. My oldest cat just turned 26, we have had her since 2002, when she was given to my son by his then girlfriend. The romance was short lived as most high school loves are, but Roxie is my shadow, I can't go anywhere in the house without her underfoot. At the time old age of 16 she has discovered that a black kitty who looks and sounds like her lives in my dresser but h mirror and she likes to converse with her at 5 am (that is why I am awake now, I had to evict her to the living room) My other old man, Artie,had kidney disease and is slowly declining, am hoping he makes it until Christmas. The third , Katie, is a very petite,6 lb Russian Blue, who was born without a tail. She has a mild form of spina bifida, her hind legs are a bit wonky, so she kind of good like a rabbit. She can climb up onto a bed of chair, but no higher. I always had to chase her and give her her asthma meds, so she avoids me and hides out with my husband. Love them all, but once they are gone I think I will foster little bottle feeding kitten or puppies. Might as well put my retired nursing skills to use!lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08702597564760699067noreply@blogger.com
