Spartacus "Sparky" 3/94 - 3/15/2010

He was 16, diabetic, very sweet old cat. Have lost another cat, Icky, Sparky's brother or half brother, 9 years ago from fatty liver disease. We lost our boston terrier, Hamlet, 4 years ago. It doesn't get any easier the 3rd time around.

We currently have another boston terrier, Bruno and a black cat, Romeo, or Romo as I usually call him, I suppose in unofficial honor of Romo Lampkin.

Sparky absolutely loved dairy products, any sort of cheese or vanilla ice cream he would go nuts for. I'll miss our late-night fridge-raids together ...though I only gave him tiny amounts, too much salt in cheese.

Romeo "Romo"

Beautiful animals all. Condolences.

That is tough. I had to do the same with my cat last year. He looked like your black cat. My cat reached 21 years of age when his hips gave out.

My condolences Harry.


If I ever do get a pet cat or dog in the future I'm calling him "Gaius".

21 is pretty darned old for a cat! I guess average is anywhere from 14-17, anything above that is unusual.

Gaius is a pretty good name for a cat, he's got some cat-like qualities.

I'm feeling OK now, the lead up to it was pretty terrible. He's got a nice resting spot under our olive tree.

So you are expecting any cat you get to betray all humanity Panzer ?

My condolences Harry, losing a pet at any age is rough.

Sorry to hear Harry. I'm a dog lover, but its all the same when a pet ages out.

Sorry to hear Harry, my sister had here welsh corgi put down last week at 14years 9months.

Sorry to hear about your cat Harry.

I'm sorry Harry.

There have been a lot of pets lost this year already.
