Tis a bugger when you have to have a loving pet put down.

I remember when my dog was put down. Not good.

Zeke looks like he must've been a big hit with guests. If you were to add a little more black/gray to his coat he would like almost exactly like my cat. May I ask what breed your cats were?

Aye, Sune was abit scared so he rarely showed up when guests arrived. But Zeke never bothered, and sometimes he'd come up and lie down in someone's lap. He was great like that. Everyone loved him, even my dad, who always been a dog person.

And they're just regular Farm cats what I know. Nothing fancy, but good enough for me.

What I also loved with Zeke is that he communicated with his eyes and by purring. He rarely meowed, instead he'd look at you and blink slowly to show that he wanted something, or he'd start to purr. And Zeke had a loud purr. It was dark, and loud, and it was very comforting to listen to.

Wow, those sound exactly like my cats. Boots (Older male) is very quiet and friendly, and loves to stare at people. He's always purring. OTOH, Gentle (Younger cat, and female... Don't ask about the name, someone else named her) is the exact opposite: Incredibly shy, always stays upstairs when people come over, and she'll start chirping the moment she sees you.

Anyways, I don't mean to turn this into a thread about my cats, but I was just surprised at how similar our cats sounded. Zeke and Sune sound like they must've been a great joy to have around the house.

Just found this pretty picture of Sune together with my mother. It's abit dark, but you can clearly see him. He was very attached to my mother, I think it's because she gave him a good first impression all those years ago. Ma grew up on a farm in the far north, and had cats all the time, so obviously she knows alot about them. She told me these two were the best she's ever had though...
