A very loving little family there. Hope things go for the best.

They might just love me for the food and treats but they do both tend to greet me when I come home from work as if they're genuinely glad to see me again. Thank you.

All the best with your cat

Thank you.

It's funny... When I opened this, I could have sworn I heard a cat meowing somewhere in the building (and I know there are no cats in this building).

Please just remember my offer. I mean it. *hugs*

Does that mean your building has a ghost kitty or that you havd a Fruedian meow instead of a slip? Interesting story.

Thank you and I appreicate that offer. I just mgiht take you up on it too.

The building is 300 years old; I'm sure it's had enough time to accumulate ghost everythings

Time to call in Ghost Hunters International perhaps? They might record your ghost cat meowing.

They'd be more likely to get the very-much-alive (unfortunately for us) Slavic cleaning people who fight while they clean the office downstairs :-P

I like this alot, that is a nice family, and probably a very similar family to what alot of us have.
I hope your cat does well at the vet, and that you are well too.

Thank you and thank you for the well wishes too.

I hope all is well with your cat.

Thank you. So far, so good. She's back home for the time being and resting like she usually does.

Awww

"Awww" as in cute "awww"?

Yeah, that kinda "awww"

Sorry. Just making sure and thank you.

feel for you man

Thank you.

As much "fun" as my real family is, I enjoy how you're showing your children dude. I use children in that sense because thats what most of the people i talk to refer to their cute pets. Honestly my dog is better company than my family, and my turtle, gets little to no care from my "owner" sister so i call her mine. PS your cat and doggie have cute names.

Children? They're probably more like fuzzy roommates that prefer shedding to shaving but I prefer them to just about any roommates of the human vareity I could have.

My dad actually named both of them. The cat was named off a variation of the saying "blacker than coal" and the dog after a dog that looked similar to one that he'd had when he was younger.

aww
my best wishes she'll be ok dharken

Thank you Cyberhorn.

So cute! :>

Thank you Amethystine.

It's wonderful to have people who love you to come home to, even if they don't speak very good english.. I've got a cat and pup myself, and know how wonderful that is:) *offers hugs* I hope things go well.

Thank you. I may not have always cherished that greeting as much as I should have but I'll try to remember to in the future.

*nods and smiles* you're welcome: and it's the way it is, you take it for granted until you realize it might not always be there. Goodness knows there have been days I've wanted to strangle that fluffy little neo-anarchist, but the love never stops:)

I've told Coalie more than once today that I may not always act like I'm happy to see her but I still love her very much. I know actions speak louder than words though especially to animals. I hope I can remember to appreciate her all of the time that we might have left together.

I'm sure she'll notice and understand:) the words might not be fully comprehended, but the emotions behind them will:)

They certainly seem to appreciate when I give them treats and their food, though they've both taken to begging for my food depending on what it is even when I can't give it to them, so maybe on a certain level they look to those actions more than others that could be taken as hurtful or neglectful.

true, but simple physical affection in the form of cuddling can really cement the warmth of the bond:)

*grins* What a happy group.

Thanks. I'm hoping it stays a happy group instead of a mixed bag of emotions duo.

My last cat. I seen him having problems months before he died. And I spent alot more time with him then I normal did. Though he kinda followed me from room to room anyway.

Kinda hard to spend more time with something that clings to you. hehehe

I have most often always had two cats at a time. This has been the longest I had lost a cat that a stray has not yet come to my door or such. Dont know if the city is doing better or I have just not been in the right place for another to show up.

Rambling because I was trying to say something. :D

It has always helped me when one dies on me. And even though they can never be replaced. At least your not completely alone in the house again like I found after my first cat died out of the blue on me.

So you have your doggy to help out :D But seeing how you posted something 3 hours ago and did not say anything bad happened. I take it she is ok.

Cat I grew up with as a kid lived to be 21 years old. And had to be put to sleep. He refused to die. Vet said it was the oldest cat he knew of on his records.

So here is hopping you get many more years out of yours :D

My cat's had on and off problems for a while now too. I haven't been as worried then because she's at least managed to go to the bathroom after a bit and not been showing signs of trouble doing so. She did get rather skinny this summer but that's been a pattern of hers too and didn't think it was a problem as long as she's been going to the bathroom. I'm hoping that I might have overreacted to the problem a bit because I've been expecting one and that it's not as bad as I've been fearing.

Most of the pets we've had have come to us in various ways that we've never had to buy a pet since I was a single number of digits old. And that's been a while ago.

Thank you. I'm hoping so too.

Very cute Todd, what breed is the dog?

Someday when I get a house of my own, I want to have a cat or two, but I can't at my current apartment.

She's a dachshund/chihuahua mix, meaning she has somthing of the face though not as long in the nose and the longer body of the dachsund but she has the longer legs and curly tail of the chihuahua so she's an overall bigger dog than either of the parent breeds.

I've been afraid to leave this place for an apartment for that very reason. At least here, I can say whether I have pets or not.

She looks cute. Yeah, being able to have pets is a good thing. Some apartments let you have small pets, but you have to hunt around for that.

Some places here actually advertise that they accept pets in large letters. I guess that makes for quite an attraction to a number of people, especially families.

Cut pet sketches, how did you come up with the name Coalie?

My dad named her that because she was black as coal.
