Kiki passed today. He was 16.

That’s old for a cat.

If I know anything about cats, it that Kiki 2.0 is out there in a shelter praying for you to take him home.

Thank you all for the condolences and emails. We miss Kiki very much.

As a youngster, my family home always had a cat or two. As an adult, I have had only 3 cats. The first was a male Seal Point Siamese we bought soon after my first marriage. The best cat ever. Lived a very long time; maybe 18 years or more. I cried when I had him put down. Skipped several years until I met my current wife. Saw an ad for a beautiful calico named Henrietta and we took her in. She was my wife's lap cat and lived 16 years also before kidney disease. I saw 6 yo Kiki in a large cage at the vet's office when we picked up Henrietta's ashes. I came back a week later and dragged him out. He never was a lap cat but slept in the bed with us. He was my cat. He was about 8 years old in the picture and weighed around 12 lbs. At the end he weighed 6. Kidney disease. Right now we are entertained by our neighbors' cat who comes to visit every day.

Pick me up , please

Like a boss.

It seems cat haters have to let people know they hate cats, in no uncertain terms. It's a macho thing? I dunno, I think if you love cats, it's a given you love women, a lot of commonality there. All IMHO of course.

"A mans treatment of a dog is no indication of the mans nature, but his treatment of a cat is. It is the crucial test. None but the humane treat a cat well".
Mark Twain

Samuel Clemens was a great student of the human mind!
It strikes me that you will very rarely hear someone say "I love cats, but hate dogs". People may have their preferences, but most cat lovers are also very fond of other animals.
On the other hand, I've often heard "I love dogs, but can't stand cats". Merely an observation from which one may draw one's conclusions.
