y cat is a ginger tom called Picasso. He's already 17 years old but I hope he will be around for a couple of more years, since he's really important and dear to me. He's suffering from hyperthyroidism, so he needs to get his medicine twice a day - fortunately the meds can be hidden in his food, otherwise I would be in trouble. I bet every cat owner knows how difficult it is to get a cat to swallow a pill.
Picasso has two favorite places to sleep in - an old cardboard box and the sink.

  | Posted May 19th, 2008 at 8:12AM He's lovely. Does he get wet?   |
 | Posted May 19th, 2008 at 8:24AM Once I was mean and turned on the water faucet - of course the poor thing didn't like that at all. He was giving me angry glances the whole afternoon. =) Having a cat that occupies the sink may be a bit inconvenient, and I occasionally have to brush my teeth in the kitchen instead. |
| Posted May 19th, 2008 at 8:27AM, last updated May 19th, 2008 at 8:49AM I love cats so much. Those angry glances- I can just see it! They always forgive us. |
 | Posted Sep 24th, 2008 at 1:07PM Lovely kitty! Gracious, what we do for our pets, because they do SO much for us! I had cat on thyroid pill who lived for 22 years! She was an indoor/outdoor cat too so she really beat the odds. Hopefully Picasso will live many more years. |
 | Posted Oct 12th, 2008 at 8:26PM I have a big fat cat named stinky who weighs fourteen pounds and he's thirteen years old. I've known him for my entire life, because I'm fourteen. I hope he lives to be an old, old fellow. I just lost two kittens recently and it broke my heart. I've heard of cats living to be twenty five. I knew a cat at the age of ninteen, but his owner died and wanted his cat, penguin, put to sleep. they even put a paw print on the grave stone. He was a MEANN cat and wouldn't have a home any more. |
