Truffle is my only outdoor kitty. He used to be an indoor kitty, like the others, but he was urinating
all over the house. We tried several interventions, directed by our vet, but nothing worked. So, he is now enjoying
the great outdoors. He is quite the king of his domain and he rules our big (500 sq ft) porch and deck as well as our
huge yard.
Truffle's hobbies include:
-playing fetch
-getting lots of attention
-being scared of any stranger that comes to the house
-enjoying the water in the fountain

Sarge had to be put to sleep February 12, 2007. He was only 6 years old. He'd been suffering from chronic
bladder problems and was in pain. The vet tried operating, but discovered his bladder wall was stiff and quite likely
cancerous as well. With no promising treatment options, we decided it was best not to wake him up from his surgery.
Sarge's hobbies included:
-sleeping on top of the cabinets in the office during the day
-racing me to the bedroom at night and sleeping on the bed with me
-pouncing at the covers on the bed as if there's something under there (see Frosty-"monster under the covers")
-annoying his older "brothers"
-whining to me for attention while I'm working at my desk
| This is Amadeus who is 19 years old |
|
| Amadeus is pictured here with her favorite toy. She is battling kidney disease right now. |
Amadeus was born in North Augusta in 1985. My sister adopted her when I moved to Scotland and couldn't bear to
part with her when I returned. So she has lived most of her adult life with my sister. At the ripe old age
of 19, Amadeus' health has deteriorated. Her weight bottomed out at only 4.31 pounds due to her various
illnesses. Although she does eat, she eats very little. The vet assures us her condition is now causing her pain
and it's time to let her go. So, we said goodbye to her on Tuesday, Nov. 2, 2004. She was a very sweet, sociable,
loving, and staunchly loyal kitty.
| "Mama" is feeling so much better, Feb 7, 2004 |
|
| She is so much more alert and responsive here |
| Feb 7, 2004 |
|
| "Mama" is up and more alert today. |
| My sixth cat |

| My dad is sure that I have 6 cats. Here is my 6th cat, dad. |
