Ladies and Gentlemen (The golden oldie appreciation thread)

[Desley (booktigger)]

I think I better just stick to my one permanent cat, or I could full a full page with all the oldies I have had. HEre is Miss Molly, who is now 15, I wanted her from when I started fostering for CAT77, I felt she was the kind of cat who was struggling in a rescue and needed a home, but due to aggression and stress, she was initially left there, and then I got overrun with other fosters. 8 months later, she was barely eating and we didn't think she had long left to live, so I offered to give her a home environmetn for the time she had left - the rescue lady initially didn't think it fair to move her, but Molly made her change her mind by sitting on my knee and refusing to move!! Within 2 weeks, she was eating me out of house and home (and to be honest, has never really stopped) and showing a real interest in life. Bloods showed she was perfectly fine, and she has just had her second ones done after being here 2 years, and she is in perfect health, which is wonderful to say why I took her on. One of the things that really make my heart melt is watching her play. i dont have the first pic of her on my home pc, this was taken over X MAs.

Bobcat was five years old when he arrived. He was allegedly a foreign white, so it was quite a surprise for me when he arrived. I was living in Sydney when he entered my life and he followed me to northern NSW, to Queensland and to New Zealand. He was 19 when he went to the Rainbow Bridge. During that time he welcomed various other cats into our home, and finally he welcomed Shadow. He had previously been quite uncomfortable around dogs, but when Shadow arrived he walked right over to him and gave him a welcoming headbutt and they were friends ever after. Bob would try to get Shadow to play with him, and is doing that in one of these pix. But he also liked to just lie back and relax. He was a quiet achiever, Never made a fuss but was always the cat in charge of the household and the neighbourhood.
