Yet, we take them into our homes and hearts, knowing they'll only be with us for awhile and knowing how sad it will make us when they pass on. I guess the unconditional love they give us is worth all the pain we know we will feel at their loss. |

They become such a big part of you that that part of you dies when they die.
Two of my cats are 15. I make sure they get plenty of love every day...even if I have to hold them down and force it on them. |

They actually like that even though they act like they don't.
They understand the affection. |

True. It never stops them from coming back later and letting it all happen again. In fact, they actually seek it out.
I call it "making out" with them. 'Cuz that's kinda what it is. |

I call it "cat rasslin".
They try to get away and I almost let them, then kind of roll them over and around, tickle their belly or chest then let them latch around my hand etc, etc. Usually only for about a minute or two then I let them go. But like you said, they come back again later for more. |

We are both hearing 'ghost' sounds from Leah. I'm sure it's just our imagination.
Those familiar sounds like her tags jingling when she moved. Mama doesn't like it when I leave. Before, when I left she was not alone. Leah was here with her. |

I'm sure her absence has left a void in the house.
So are you going to get another dog fairly soon, wait awhile or have you sworn off of pets for the foreseeable future? |

No new pets until we get out of this house. We love animals but when selling a house they don't help.

I didn't know you were selling. When I was selling my house, I locked the cats outside for a few hours at a time. I hated doing that, even though they were used to being out sometimes the entire day (on their own volition). Luckily, my house sold after about 10 people looked at it. I think it sold in 8 days.

Mickey's into that. I call it "arm battle". I get him on his back, rub his belly. Then he latches around my arm and kicks and bites at it. I get scratched up a bit sometimes, but nothing serious. He used to actually come looking for it. He'd hop up on the coffee table, crouch down and give me that "let's rumble" look. |

My cat gets kinda rough when I do that. He doesn't realize how sharp his claws and teeth are. So I do that very carefully. But I'll also kinda wrestle with him. Roll him around a little, use his own weight against him etc. But very gently. |

Rocco's the one I have to be careful with. He wants to be played with, but if it goes on too long, his ears go back and he'll bite/scratch/hiss. Then he runs off. I never had that problem with Mick, Mal or Killer. In fact, Mickey's only hissed at me once. That was when I had to pull him back in through the cat door by his tail when he went to do a meet and greet with a raccoon out on the patio.
Mal's never hissed at me. He's just always given me very judgemental looks. |

^^^These two should get a room, or at least their own thread, doncha know...
I too have heard the collar jingle and seen the shadow weiner-dachy rear-ends passing the office doorway. I don't talk about it, but I'm glad they are here.
