Since when did that become a good thing?[/color]

Since physical space is at a premium (we’re looking to move within the
next year, and I want small for the move and to not take a lot of space
in the new place we want to move to, since it’s a much smaller space).

So finally convinced SWMBO to move to Oregon?[/color]

I don’t have a SWMBO ( :slight_smile: ), but Amy and I decided some time ago that
that’s where we want to move to, just been having difficulty finding a
job that’s a good fit there. We’re tentatively targeting May for when
we’d like to move, though. :slight_smile:

So it didn’t take a lot of convincing - she’s got friends there who are
eager for us to move, and since Ken’s graduated and moved out, all we
have to worry about is moving three senior cats (one 9 years old, two 16
years old).

No SWMBO. Sure. I believe you. Swing by when you are in the
neighborhood and I’ll feed you. There is a great Mexican food place
across the parking lot.

We are down to 2 cats now. One 11 the other 15.

You should. :slight_smile: Our relationship isn’t like that, honestly. :slight_smile:

Will do! Which place is it?

Which two are yours? (Or am I seeing two pictures of one and one of the
other?)

We technically have 4, but one of them is feral, so she won’t be coming
with us. She’s 10 years old, though. :slight_smile:

That cat isn’t ours. It just looks like him. Mousse died of leukemia
earlier this year. Chatty is 11 and is black and silver. Teddybear is
blue. We used to show them through CFA. It was fun. In our heyday we
had maybe 15 cats and kittens rampaging through the house. Aw, the pitter
patter of little feet.

I’m sorry to hear that. :frowning:

These three will be our last - it turned out that I’m pretty severely
allergic to them (3p on the scratch test). But we had a feral colony as
well (did trap and release with them all, missed one of the first
generation females, so we had two generations, and our youngest is part
of the second generation of that colony; the older feral we still look
after is the last of the first). At its peak, our colony was about 16
cats, plus our (at the time) two indoor cats.

The two older are half Persian and half Siamese, so they have long hair
and blue eyes. They’re not too bright - one of them seems to be
developing some form of dementia; the other has a thyroid condition and
needs to be drugged daily now.

And the youngest is almost a $4,000 cat now just due to medical issues
(not counting the “normal” expenses). He’s had health problems all his
life, and has to be given lysine irregularly (two of the other kittens in
the litter he was in died before we found them).

Wouldn’t trade them for the world. Might threaten to turn them into
slippers on occasion, though… :slight_smile:

I hear you. All our cats were/are indoor cats. We had to baby proof the
place. Especially when the kitten storm troopers were terrorizing the
house. On the plus side they did train me to put my shoes away. So many
times I would go to put my shoes on in the morning only to discover the
shoe laces soaked from one cat or another trying to chow down on them.
