Sport, who passed away about a year and a half ago, was healthy right up to the end when he started having kidney problems. One day, after some trips to the vet, he walked across my wife’s open lap top. Several hours later she saw what he had typed. The screen said only this: “19ok”. Sport passed a few months later at the age of 19. He was letting us know that even with his health problems, he was “OK”.
True story.

Sport was a male, black and white, tuxedo cat. His name came from the Laurie Anderson song, “Sharky’s Night”. All our girl cats loved him. He belonged to our neighbors who just threw him out the back door. We took him in and it was months before the college girls even missed him. He was just a frightened little kitten.

Dinger – that’s so cool! I like the way you name your pets.

Our family cat lived to the age of 19, and even moved house when he was fairly old without too much visible stress. His name was Midge (he came from a litter of three: Mary, Mungo and Midge – any Brits my age will probably understand that…)

Being from the developing world and having been with cats all my life, I find it very strange to see that cats in the US manage to live so long and lead completely indoor lives. Its unnatural. In my house cats were always wild. They would spend majority of their time outside hunting rats etc and come home only to rest and get pampered. When we used to go out on holidays we would just put the cat out and travel. When we got back it would just come back in as though we had never left.

Since there are a number of stray street dogs (as is common in most “3rd” world countries) cats i know would live to 7 or max 8 years and then get eaten by a dog usually. So it is very strange to see cats that have lived for 18 years.

(Not original, of course)

“The universew came to a junction
when Schrodinger collapsed his wave function.
He lifted the lid
and fouind that it hid
a kitty in need of last unction.”

D: As someone who frequents 4chan, where Caturday began, this fills me with amazing chagrin. But, at least the picture doesn’t say something about bad astronomy in catspeak.

Please, BA, don’t ever use catspeak. I’ll cry. Forever.
