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 frown ...though I only gave him tiny amounts, too much salt in cheese.

Sparky


Bruno


Romeo "Romo"

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. frown


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

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.

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

I'm sorry Harry.

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