Thank you, it was tough. It will always bother me not having found out the cause of her problems. Her bloodwork and x-rays always came back normal, and I couldn’t afford more testing. She had a fairly stressful life, with being moved around and living with other unkind animals while I was at my...

You’re right, it won’t be long before I’ll get another. I have so much love to give and this time I can ensure a much less stressful life for my next kitty. Sylvester looks very much like my childhood cat, Menace whom I also loved dearly. He looks very sweet.

You’re right, no time is ever enough. I’m definitely feeling that guilt and questioning my decision but I do know it’s grief. I rearranged the living room so all her favourite spots aren’t there anymore because looking and not seeing her there made me cry. I have been spending a lot of time with...

I saw one adult tabby but I’m not sure if she was one of the parents (though...

Thanks for your response! The lady who sold these lovely little kittens wasn’t a breeder and I bought her for $100, so I’m sure Mollie wasn’t purebred at all. However, there was some sort of Ragdoll/Balinese/Siamese ancestry and I would love another like her. I just don’t want to get another...

I got my dear Mollie on Valentine’s Day of 2013. I didn’t know her breed and the lady selling the litter of four female kittens referred to them as “Siamese”. There were three short-haired, seemingly Siamese cats, and one with the same colours but long-haired. I sat down on the lady’s couch and...
