Thank you very much for the nice words about Tank and for praying for Gizmo. I look at him every single day and tell him he needs to live to at least be 20. Its so true animals cant tell us whats wrong which sometimes makes it so hard to figure out how they are really feeling. One thing I can say is through this ordeal I have learned so much and realized that I am way stronger than I ever thought I was. You will figure this out too but it takes time. Just try not to rush yourself through this grieving process its hard but you will get through it I know that. If you ever need to talk you can always pm me too.
Thank you I loved taking pics of Tank. He was so photogenic and would just light up the room. He was just so happy all the time I always called him my little ray of sunshine.
Sending you lots of hugs.

Thank you kak125.Yes I understand.It will take time to heal.After losing 4 family members in the recent years I should be fine soon.Yes Buttons modeled like a pro with the the camera.She probable do great on TV along with Morris the cat.

For a week she could only hear but not see the cat, until on Saturday my parents decide to go see him all together after dinner and we saw this beast running towards us.
He's a male of circa 1 year old, castrated, very educated and playful but also big; I think they probably left him because he can't control his strenght.

Thanks guys, he is (and he knows it). He recently reached 11 pounds of weight. Congratulations for your decision Skip, and good luck, you won't regret it.

Just want to remind those of you who have black cats to protect them now that Halloween is approaching. Unfortunately there are still many superstitions, ignorance and ancient folk beliefs that are particularly dangerous for blacks cats (and dogs) during this time of the year.

Unfortunately yes, shelters usually suspend the adoptions of black cats during the Halloween period in order to avoid adoptions by ill-intentioned people.
I know, I had to keep Perla at home as well during this period for the 15 years she's been alive, sometimes it was a real challenge; occasionally she managed to sneak out through the window insect screen. Fortunately our neighborhood isn't particularly dangerous but all the commotion is a problem for pets too.

Sisternightroad you new cat is incredible - stunning face, coat and eyes!

Macfanforever I'm sorry to hear about Buttons and I really hope you find a new kitten soon.

I don't know if anyone can help....I've been trying to post a photo of my cat - the photo of Stevie with cat in the VIP thread today reminded me. How do I attach a photo with a file size over 100kb? !?! My computer knowledge is very basic

Thank you, he is awesome.

However you can't attach a big size picture, what you have to do is upload your photo on a hosting site like this one: https://postimage.org/
and then use the "Insert Image" feature, which is the second icon from the right of the quick reply bar.

Great, thanks. I'm sure I asked the same question on here once before. I had a vague idea that I had to upload the photo somewhere else.

It's a bit late for me to figure it out tonight, but as soon as I can I'll post a photo of Sammi. It's very difficult getting good photos of him. He doesn't like the camera and doesn't like posing - he'll often just run off. But I've got a couple so I'll try to upload them. He's completely black which also it makes it harder to get good photos, although he's very striking with his green eyes and gets many compliments.
