Reasoning behind loving cats must be akin to why we fall in love with someone. No understanding it unless you are the one to be falling in love.

But, oh how those little guys can capture your heart. And how they can make you aware that they missed you while you were gone.

And while their initial response to your being away is, "Why the dickens WERE you gone anyway?", their remembered response is the rub against your leg or contented purr or touching of the head to yours.

And then when you no longer have them, the cherished, but at times painful, memory of their sounds and smells and love, remain.

Mine do forever.

Have you all seen the wonderful book Cat Heaven? My human 10 year old son and I love it! It is a great comfort about the loss of a cwazy (thats one of our names for our cats). We currently have five of the four pawed ones and they are so very much a part of our home and our family! I can't imagine life without them.

p.s. My new husband had no idea what he was in for cat wise when he entered our lives... For one thing- at least six of us on the bed every night...

lol about the HGs missing their cats more than mothers. But I see my cats everyday -- only see my parents once or twice a year. My pets are a larger part of my life than parents. It doesn't mean pets are more important than people. I have four cats -- my oldest cat just turned 16 this month. Second oldest is 14, and then I have two at age 8. I couldn't go on BB for three months -- I need/want to be with my oldest cats during their last years. Imagine being away from home when one goes.... :-(

Ellekats, that's what I was worried about when I went away. Tiger hadn't been feeling well at all, but seemed to get better just before I left. I left instructions with my mother in case anything happened.

Lobster -- exactly. Even if there was nothing I could do for mine, just to be 'in the know' and hold them at the end would be a comfort. So much could develop in three months, especially as they get older. Glad your cat's health rallied before you left. :-)

I don't think I ever missed my cats more than
my family, but I worried about them more when
I was away - because 1) they can't tell someone
if something's wrong and 2) no one knows them like their Mom (me)does.

my cat and dog go camping with us. they went to 7 states 3 summers ago. the cat was on the dash of the motorhome, admiring yellowstone, when a small kid yelled out, 'daddy! look, a kitty!' and her daddy replied, "i did not spend 3,000 bucks and all my vacation time to take the family to yellowstone to look at a kitten! where the heck are the bison and the elk?!"

LOL, Tabby. I guess he's kinda got a point.

Thanks, Ellenkats. He's still a sick kitty, but doing okay. He needs fluids every two weeks to flush the toxins out of his body cuz his kidneys are weak.

Hug to you and your cat Lobster! Thought I'd share something I put on another post...

" On a LOL note I was watching that Chiara/Roddy convers on my laptop and the cats were all (5) staring at me so I unplugged my laptop and took it in the kitchen but got so engrossed in hearing him almost almost almost decide to vote Josh out that I suddenly looked up and all the cats were in a row looking at me.."Mom? Mom? We're hungry Mom!"

Yes, I would worry and miss my cats more than my Mom. No, I don't love my cats over my Mom, but with Mom, she would know why I'm gone...my babies wouldn't. When I go on vacation, they usually pace around the house looking for me. Venus, my orange tabby, usually sits on my bed and meows. (My niece always catsits) My niece has said that if anything ever happens to Venus and Loki, she will have to take a week off of work to take care of me.
Is this obscene? I don't think so. I think it's a perfect example of how much love we, as humans, are capable.

Hey Marfan- we have more than just our love for Marc in common- I have 2 orange tabbys among my 5. And one is female like yours sounds to be -and that's fairly rare.

Just wanted to say that if I ever come out with an album or a novel, I'm going to name it "obscene cat love" because the phrase sticks in your head. It's so catchy!

*Smack OI with a BIG ole hair ball*

He knows the answer to that question!

This is my last post in my old place... I am moving ... last night I moved all of my kitties... I have a lot of kitties and it was the most heart wrenching thing was to up root them from their home but they will enjoy their new place ... you would not believe the chorus of meows in the car!!!

I am tired, sad and still have the big furniture to move so I will check in when I get my computer hooked up...

Purrrs to all the kitty people!

Halfunit: I, too, love your web page.

I have 3 Maine (ra)Coons. 1 female who clearly thinks she runs the house and 2 males who put up with her constantly trying to keep them in line. My hubby does call her a B**ch (and perhaps she deserves it) but when it is bed time, she is always at my feet and wont move until I get up.

Oregonfire, I don't know wha kind of album it would be but I'd buy it. I used to tolerate cats until Eddie [click my nick]walked into my life. Was sitting waiting for my bf looking at NASCAR stuff at a farm and this cat just jumped into the car in my lap and never left!!!!

I posted this in my folder but thought it belonged here:)

Took me over a 10 hour period to catch and transfer my little scared kitties... they immediately found refuge in the closets and I made some safe caves out of boxes the after 2 1/2 hours of sleep I went back to meet the movers.

So the Clamppets moved me ... took a friggin 9 1/2 hours!!! Both were allergic to cats so to say the least is was a sneeze contest ... toward the end they were down to bringing in the boxes, 'Jethro' came in, face white as a sheet couldn't speak a lick of english so the other guy ... we will call him 'Ellie' said 'Jethro' thinks you packed a kitty. I said 'WHAT?" he said "you packed a kitty!!!"

I realized they had moved the box that had my kitty treat car in ... when you open it 'meows meows'. LOL 'Jethro' didn't laugh but for me it was the best part of the day!!!

If your moving day had a "best part," be thankful! Relocation is very stressful for cats, and I hope all of your babies did well!

Moving is even more stressful for humans so I hope you find a moment to take care of yourself.
