| | :My pet Tommikat died 9 December 2014 11 years old (queened in 2003). I miss him, and I will not have another indoor pet at my age. Instead I keep the bird-feeder outside the dining room window full in winter for the sparrows, chickadees, juncos, cardinals, blue jays, and thieving squirrels. --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] 16:37, 16 January 2015 (EST) | | :My pet Tommikat died 9 December 2014 11 years old (queened in 2003).

| − | :::Thanks, James, I very much appreciated your unexpected expression of sympathy. In July I relented and got another cat from the [[Animal Rescue League]] for my mother. He was queened in 2008. We retained his original name "Fuzz". 25 inches from nose to rump. He is pussywillow grey, with a tan undercoat that shows only when he's stroked backward (he loves it!), and has beautiful green eyes. He was severely depressed before we adopted him, weighed 22 lbs. (!) and was shaped like a big football with feet and no legs. But after a good diet on ''Purina Natural for Indoor Cats'' (lost 4 lbs.) and gentle loving he is happily "retired" with us, his legs are visible, and he has discovered that he is free to "complain" when we are not doing things the way he wants. When we turn on TV in the morning at 0700 hrs for the EWTN Daily Mass he always comes in and lies down and listens to the whole program (his ears move), and as soon as it's over, even when we don't immediately get up, he leaves the room and goes back to sleep. Imagine that: a Christian cat (!) ''Outstanding !'' --[[User:Dataclarifier|Dataclarifier]] ([[User talk:Dataclarifier|talk]]) 11:53, 17 September 2015 (EDT) | + | :::Thanks, James, I very much appreciated your unexpected expression of sympathy.
