Shail,
I am sorry for Goldie. But dont worry, she has nine lives.
Btw, do you know the difference between dogs and cats? – Dogs believe they are human. Cats believe they are God.
Cheers,
Sal

Hmm.. then I bet this must be Poocha Ba, the first cat I had when I was 11 or so, being born again and again! Lol, yeah I know. Dogs curk up at your feet when you sit in your favorite armchair. The cat waits to see which is your favorite one and usurps it!
BTW, Salil, humans are supposed to be like cats during their adolescent years. When they are kids they are dogs, loving. They return to being dogs in their mid-twenties. Did you know that?? It is a useful tip every parent should know.

Great story of Goofy and Goldie. Perhaps neighbors need to “volunteer” for good behavior training, no?

What a cold manner to handle the unfortunate turn of events.

I agree Bob. That was not the right way at all. But I have an even worse experience in my childhood when a trigger happy neighbor shot a pup coz it strayed to his yard! Imagine shooting a pup!

The pictures are so very very cute, the little one cuter still, but the way you have written about her takes it all

Of all the cats we’ve had, the one with me now [along with 2 dogs] at almost three years now, is the longest survivor. There is something about the place, its peiole, around that is, that do not give cats a high mortality rate. Sad.

Felt awful reading about her sudden end. Then again, you had the little darling for a while, and loved her, as she did , you all, Goofy included, am sure

By the way, you have something to pick up, on Overdrive When time permits, do drop in

It was wonderful with her around Usha, never a moment of boredom. Kittens are absolutely cute. What have you named your cat??
Thanks once again for the awards!!
