Rest In Peace, Annie...

My old friend, Annie, passed away today...

About forty-five minutes ago, I went in to do some laundry. For about an hour before that, one of my cats, Carlos, had been acting very odd, crying a lot, running in and out of the office here. I didn't pay a lot of attention to it, just kind of noted that he was acting strangely. When I went in to do the laundry, I found Annie curled up in the laundry basket full of dirty clothes - it was always one of her favorite places to sleep. She was gone... She showed no signs of having been in distress lately, she was her usual grumpy self.

Annie came to me more than fifteen years ago, as a tiny kitten, not even old enough to eat anything solid. She showed up on the porch here, half starved, filthy, bedraggled, covered with fleas and ticks, crying pitifully. I took her to the vet, got instructions on how to care for her, and brought her back home. She has been with me ever since.

Annie was the oldest of my five cats, and she ruled this house with an iron paw. With the other cats, only Carlos was allowed to get near her - they were best buddies. The rest of the cats were beneath her notice, unless they were doing something that she didn't like, or got too close to her. With humans, she was always warm and affectionate...

She was my friend, my companion...

I will miss her terribly...

In Loving Memory Of Annie

I Will Miss You, Old Friend

I wish you peace, Wolf65. Been there. :(

I try to remember the good life my little one had with me...all the love he'd had, and all of the love he gave to me. It sounds like she found an awesome friend in you. ^_^
 
Cat Physics

1. Law of Bag / Box Occupancy
All bags and boxes in a given room must contain a cat within the earliest possible nanosecond.

2. Law of Cat Acceleration
A cat will accelerate at a constant rate, until he gets good and ready to stop.

3. Law of Cat Composition
A cat is composed of Matter + Anti-Matter + It Doesn't Matter.

4. Law of Cat Disinterest
A cat's interest level will vary in inverse proportion to the amount of effort a human expends in trying to interest him.

5. Law of Cat Elongation
A cat can make her body long enough to reach just about any counter top that has anything remotely interesting on it.

6. Law of Cat Embarrassment
A cat's irritation rises in direct proportion to her embarrassment times the amount of human laughter.

7. Law of Cat Gravitation
A cat's gravitational pull (i.e. weight) will vary upward in direct proportion to the desire of the human to move the cat.

8. Law of Cat Inertia
A cat at rest will tend to remain at rest, unless acted upon by some outside force - such as the opening of cat food, or a nearby scurrying mouse.

9. Law of Cat Invisibility
Cats think that if they can't see you, then you can't see them.

10. Law of Cat Landing
A cat will always land in the softest place possible.

11. Law of Cat Magnetism
All blue blazers and black sweaters attract cat hair in direct proportion to the darkness of the fabric.

12. Law of Cat Mass
The mass of a cat is inversely proportional to its desire to be picked up.

13. Law of Cat Motion
A cat will move in a straight line, unless there is a really good reason to change direction.

14. Law of Cat Obedience
As yet undiscovered.

15. Law of Cat Probability (Uncertainty Principle)
It is not possible to predict where a cat actually is, only the probability of where she might be.

16. Law of Cat Sleeping
All cats must sleep with people whenever possible, in a position as uncomfortable for the people involved as is possible for the cat.

17. Law of Cat Stretching
A cat will stretch to a distance proportional to the length of the nap just taken.

18. Law of Cat Thermodynamics
Heat flows from a warmer to a cooler body, except in the case of a cat, in which case all heat flows to the cat.

19. Law of Cat Washing
A cat will wash itself at any time which is appropiate, which includes especially the moment after something has been jumped and escaped.

20. Law of Concentration of Mass
A cat's mass increases in direct proportion to the comfort of the lap she occupies.

21. Law of Dinner Table Attendance
Cats must attend all meals when anything good is served.

22. Law of Electric Blanket Attraction
Turn on an electric blanket and a cat will jump into bed at the speed of light.

23. Law of Energy Conservation
Cats know that energy can neither be created nor destroyed and will, therefore, use as little energy as possible.

24. Law of Equidistant Separation
All cats in a given room will locate at points equidistant from each other, and equidistant from the center of the room.

25. Law of Fluid Displacement
A cat immersed in milk will displace her own volume, minus the amount of milk consumed.

26. Law of Furniture Replacement
A cat's desire to scratch furniture is directly proportional to the cost of the furniture.

27. Law of Milk Consumption
A cat will drink his weight in milk, squared, just to show you he can.

28. Law of Obedience Resistance
A cat's resistance varies in proportion to a human's desire for her to do something.

29. Law of Pill Rejection
Any pill given to a cat has the potential energy to reach escape velocity.

30. Law of Random Comfort Seeking
A cat will always seek, and usually take over, the most comfortable spot in any given room.

31. Law of Refrigerator Observation
If a cat watches a refrigerator long enough, someone will come along and take out something good to eat.

32. Law of Rug Configuration
No rug may remain in its naturally flat state for very long.

33. Law of Selective Listening
Although a cat can hear a can of tuna being opened a mile away, she can't hear a simple command three feet away.

34. Law of Space-time Continuum
Given enough time, a cat will land in just about any space

Aawwww!! That one's precious! Do you know this person, sb?

Glad you like the cute kitties, Kcar. No, I don't know anybody in these pictures. Mine are always the "found on the web" kind of cat pics. They're still wonderful and convey the specialness of these animals well, however.
