Thank you all for the kind words. Luckily he wasnt in pain for more than 30 minutes. A trooper till the end. I've had pets die on me but this is the first one I had to make the decision to end it. Fun kicker, my best friend had his first child the same day. Life is hard.

A little different, but my cats have decided that they should have their litter of kittens on top of me (but eventually they decide to hide them).

More much-needed joy around this household:
The expecting queen that we rescued from the same location as Nala has dropped five little nuggets. Sadly, one of them was stillborn. Thing is, amid all the excitement and anticipation, we just realized that we forgot to give her a name!

Not quite big enough to go outside yet: 28 days from seed
Going to be planted outside the kitchen window but under some wire protection so kittys can't kill it too fast.
If you don't know what it is ask a kitty

Very familiar with the feeling.
Our vet said he wanted to come back as one of our cats!
All but one died in my arms.
Max is between 12 and 14 years-ish now and is living like a king!
Actually we both are in our new life!
We’re always attached somehow!
Enjoying a Florida thunder storm in the big comfortable chair!
Someone mentioned on this site that Max was more Norwegian Mountain Cat than Coon Cat.
Definitely when pictured side by side!
My feet are tingly!

Mango turned 11 a couple months back. He’s slowing down and spending more time on the old armchair. It was my grandmother’s, my mom reupholstered it, and our previous pair of cats customized it.

Mango and his brother Pumpkin were named for a Bike Forums moderator whose screen name was MangoPumpkin. I don’t know if he/she/they is still around but if so: your name-children are healthy and happy.

Max has had this and the bedroom perches for about two(2) years and has just recently, as far as I now, started using this one! I did, some time ago, sprinkle some nip in the boxes so maybe it took awhile for him to feel comfortable in that space…
I bought this for him about a month or so ago… He won’t use it even after liberal doses of nip! He has sat on the top and laid on the bottom a couple of times… He will not use the scratching elements of it! I think that he thinks that it’s furniture! I worn my nails down to nubs showing him that it’s OK to scratch it!

have not before seen a cat toy/piece of furniture such as the black inverted U in the photo
are those bristles we see?
how is it to be employed?
perhaps something to rub up against & through?
