1. My Gunder was a short-haired tabby.

:(

2. I'm sorry.

He's in Kitty Heaven?

4. I don't know, but I hope not.

He couldn't get used to Jane after she was born. We tried for six months after she was born, but he was becoming miserable and withdrawn, and peeing everywhere. He was used to being the much fawned-over center of attention, and he used to sleep in our bed with us too. When Jane came along and took a lot of attention AND his place in our bed when I was trying to get the nursing going, it upset him. He never seemed to get over it.

I found a no-kill shelter to take him to, and they ASSURED me they'd find him the right home. I hope they did. I still feel guilty and a bit regretful we couldn't make it work. Maybe some expert advice on what to do would have helped.

3. Yes, they're lovely

My Fergie the night before he died:





Truly the Best Cat Ever.

5. My Kiko is one!

The smartest cat I have ever known too.

6. I love how the two thick stripes on the legs match up!!!

That's the same kind of tabby we have (same colors).

8. I have an Orange one with white socks

And he is so cute, street smart, and funny!

10. My neighbors have an orange tabby...

...who doesn't seem to realize his owners have moved into a different apartment in the complex. He still huddles in their doorway and I feel sorry for him.

Last night I heard a cat crying, just meowing mournfully. I think it was him. Today I heard them calling him to fetch him home. Will he get the idea?

(Slightly off topic since I don't have my own tabby.)
