Meet the Cats
I have posted pictures of our cats.
Max is a male Big Black Cat. Max was a stray that showed up as a scrawny sick kitten at my fiance Andy's parents home. They took him to the vet and fed him outside for a while and then brought him in. Andy adopted him and he eventually grew into a very big and friendly cat. At my fiance's old no-pet apartment, Max liked to climb through the blinds and stand between the white blinds and the window glass. He used to wrestle some with my ankles, and also liked to bear hug on arms, but he has slowed down in his old age. This picture with the pumpkin was taken several years ago. Max was 19 years old when I started this blog. We lost Max this year due to several fatal health problems which could not be treated. We miss ya big guy.
Amy is a blue point Siamese female. We adopted her from the local SPCA when she was 2 years old and Max was 5. Amy was a very interactive cat. She had things she liked us to do in every room and she would let us know what she wanted. She did everything with us. Out on the deck she would not get on the chair until we put a cushion on it for her, and sometimes she also would also want the umbrella opened. At night she would sleep under the covers next to me. She talked a lot and had many distinguishable words including a definite "No" and a mournful low pitched "morrr row" which meant she was trapped somewhere. At the age of 15, Amy unexpectedly developed acute kidney failure, and she succumbed to her illness during the 2003 holidays. She said "morrr row" for the last time as she exhaled her final breath. It was very sad. We loved Amy very much. This is a picture of Amy in her cushioned deck chair. She loved to lounge on the deck in nice weather. She was a graceful, wonderful cat and we miss her.
Marco is a lilac point Siamese male. We were searching for a female blue point to fill the gaping hole left by Amy's passing. Then during one of our many trips to the local SPCA we found Marco. He was not a female, and we were not sure how Max would accept him, but he seemed very nice and he needed a home, so we adopted him. Because he had sniffles I took him directly to our vet. She put him on a prescription, then he came home where he was segregated in a den due to the cold. Despite many vet visits and treatments, he almost died of the cold when he got so congested that he would not eat or drink for a week. We had to force feed him and hydrate him under the skin with ringers solution. Then finally after a prescription change, his cold cleared up and he started eating and drinking on his own. When Max and Marco finally met, they acted like they had always known each other. I think Max thinks Marco is Amy. Marco likes to chase kitty teasers and though he sleeps alone, he does like to cuddle and purr. He is tough to take pictures of because he usually closes his eyes when he sees a camera. He is a cuddly guy and he is now 7 years old. Since Max passed away, I think Marco misses his buddy, as we all do, so we are starting to look for a new friend for Marco.
