So, we bought a bed for our medium sized setter/lab mix. She is gone now, but her bed is still put to good use.

Smalls nearly fills this bed. I think he is 10 months now.

So, I had a 10-year-old memory foam mattress topper that was getting all permanently twisted out of shape, and I took it off the bed and laid it out. I come back later, and kitty has gone to work sharpening his claws on it. Memory foam scraps everywhere.

At first I was annoyed. Bad kitty! Then I remembered that I was looking for a pillow made of memory foam scraps, but that they run $50. Hmm. Good kitty! Get back to work there! Make me several pillows' worth of memory foam scraps!

This is the stray black cat with some behavior issues that I adopted a couple months back. He's a big sweetie now. He's outside the door now, crying for me to come out and watch TV in the recliner so he can snooze on my lap. I'll go oblige him shortly.

One of mine just interrupted my gun porn shoot!

Tearjerker music video about a sick cat. Goose is the cat, so "Goose Snow Cone" is her little white head inside the cone. Some of the shots are killers, like the one of the untouched food bowl, or the shots of the empty cat carrier. I started watching this and thought "Aimee Mann, if that cat dies I will never forgive you!". But I'll give you a spoiler. The cat is fine at the end of the video, so it's safe to watch.

A true cat story without a happy ending..spoiler..scroll if you don't wanna cry.

A friend of mine had a nursery (trees, shrubs and things) and he was storing a few hundred mature Cuban Royal palm trees. He was going on holidays and asked me to look after the place. He was a bit worried about his cat; it seemed lethargic and out of sorts. I fed it and checked later and the food was gone so I assumed that the cat had eaten it. After a few days the cat was just nasty and immobile; not as I remembered it at all. I took it to the vet and he diagnosed a terminal heart cancer; the poor thing was in constant pain. His skin just stayed in place when you pinched it up..not painfully, so it was also severely dehydrated. I contacted the owner and told them and they agreed to the vet's request that it be put down. The vet did so and I held its paw while he injected it; I felt like a murderer as I knew it was a much loved cat and yes; there were little kids involved at the time.

But there was a twist; the vet wanted to do an autopsy and, as an Animal Physiology major, he asked if I would assist. The nurse had gone home as it was after hours. The heart was encased in cancer(hemangiosarcoma) as expected but what was strange was that its intestines were empty of food but for some small pellet sized bits; it was also starving to death.....I thought it had been eating as its food was always gone. The cat obviously wasn't eating it. The mystery of the missing food was solved later that night; I put the food out as normal but came back a few minutes later; a massive cane toad was busy eating the tucker.

I buried the cat under one of the Palms at the very back of the property. When last I looked about ten years ago the tree was still there; the only one left out of hundreds.I guess some cat lovers never forget.

That is a great video!

BTW, pupils are students in school. Pupillae is the plural form of pupil of the eye. Just sayin'.....

It's easier to understand, but still technically incorrect. The old fashioned definition has been abandoned for decades. Tell him I said so and see what he says.
