After just a few weeks in his new home, Scooter Pie is going to have to somehow fill in for goofy, irrepressible, seemingly healthy, 11-year old Spike, who failed suddenly overnight.

Spike's with his sister Kirby now.

That is why I like more than one cat. If something happens to one the other is there to comfort me. Cats have feelings too and get my love in return to help them.

Well I was calling her Clyde when young cuz it is all black fuzzy hair back there. She is a girl and didn't care for the name Clyde anyway. Cats don't like just any name so I started calling off names that met my fancy. Her ears perked up for Betty. It is a nice feeling if my cats are in the field and I call them by name and they come to me.

If she'll be your bodyguard
You can be her long lost pal
You can call her Betty
And Betty when she calls you
She can call you Al ...

Yeah, brings back memories, but I was thinking of Betty Boop. She has white with black hair is a way of looking at it. My mother loved Betty Boop.

Yeah, my other adult kitty Zoey is clearly upset that her lifelong best friend is gone. Without Spike as intermediary, I don't know how I'll ever get Zoey and Scooter Pie together - Zoey (timid, 12-yr-old, 1/8th lynx) is lonely and in hiding, and Scooter is a crazy kitten that needs someone to rassle and play with.

I've been trying to love on Zoey and comfort her, but with the kitten around, Zoey's always on guard and laying very low under the bed and various other pieces of furniture.

Taking it one hour at a time . . .

Sorry to hear about Spike, Glinda.

Hard losing long-time friends.

Thanks, Grav. Despite the rampaging kitten, the house seems so empty now.

We lost Slick three years ago (he was a 21 yo Bombay, he was with us for 20). We still miss him.

I was standing the back door the other day and when I went to come back in, I stepped on the the curled up corner of the rug, and I thought I'd stepped on Slick's foot. I went stumbling across the kitchen trying to keep from putting my weight down on that foot.

Cats. He's been dead 3 yrs and change, and he's still fucking me up.

Glinda needs another kitten and then the one won't be so destructive. Plus the older one will eat better.

You're right, of course. The friend who gave me Scooter Pie has one kitten left. I'm considering asking if she would be willing to let me take it, too. But she's out of town for a week (I'm pet sitting for her).

I'll see how it goes with Zoey and Scooter.

The real problem is, with the vet bill and cremation for Spike, I'm $700 poorer, and Scooter still hasn't been fixed (we're still in the process of getting him all his shots - so far his vet bills have come to $200).

Adding another set of vet bills for the new kitten might wipe me out.

Reminder: There's no such thing as a "free" kitten.

I can hear Slick smiling from here...

Also, sorry to hear about Spike, Glinda. I hope everybody comforts everybody else.

Do you live in an itsy bitsy tiny little town? Most towns have a group working with a vet for free or a reduced rate to fix your pet. We have the humane society will fix them for free. A van is at Hardee's at 5am picks them up and by 5 pm they are back.

My vet fixes females for $80 or 2 or more for $45 each. We also have $5 rabies day 4 times a year.
Don't get your kitten parvo shots and crap. They either have it or they don't. A listless kitten is a soon to be dead kitten.

We had a chart at the pet department at Walmart about cats that aren't fixed. Start with 2 cats and assuming the decedents all live within 7 years there will be 11 million cats. We would be up to our eyeballs in cats. Chinese restaurants would have specials on roast rabbit. Well anyways see about a program.
