He was very persistent. Love me or else. Sometimes I wish my cats are aloof.

@graceylou I have that problem with three of my cats. They didn't get the aloofness training, apparently.

Thanks LJ!!!! That cat looks like my Smokey that passed away a couple of years ago.

@graceylou Our Purr-Dee looked somewhat like that too.

My avatar is my Wisspurr that we lost a couple of years ago due to her body not making red blood cells. She was only 17 months old, & I miss her still.

My birthday was yesterday so we're pretty close there, but not in age.

@Lilac-Jade Yes. Happy birthday to you too!!

Smokey had kidney failure. We had no idea how old he was because he was living on our property when we moved here. We ended up taking him in.

@graceylou Thank you.

So sad to lose them like that.

@Lilac-Jade Definitely. I lost my 4 year old cat Sydney the same year. He collapsed all of a sudden and he died in my arms on the way to emergency vet. He’s always had numerous health issues since birth. His mother is my former feral Turtle. His brother Salem is my black cat.

@graceylou Oh that's awful! Waaaaay too young.

He kinda looks like he’s so proud of himself.

@graceylou He does!

It’s actually not bad outside just snowing. And all my cats are indoor cats anyway. I’ve been mauled by my critters all morning like they know it’s my birthday. Lol.

@graceylou Well Happy Birthday then, hope you are having a great day and may all your wishes come true for you.

@dalefvictor Thanks. It’s a work day like any other. But I work with animals so no loss there.
