Happy Black Cat Appreciation Day! Our blogmom started appreciating black cats way back in 1985 when she rescued Alex from the county animal shelter.
 |
| Alex as a tiny baby mancat. |
Alex was an OLDE mancat age 19 when Busby and I came to live here in our forever home. I tried be be just like Alex, because us black cats always stick together.
 |
| Alex on the left and me on the right. He really liked that spot on the couch. |
Even when Alex was having the final stages of CRF and had to sleep on pee pads, I stuck by him.
Sometimes I even sat right on TOP of Alex, but he never complained or hissed at me. Black cats stick together through thick and thin!
So on this Black Cat Appreciation day, THIS black cat appreciates the black cat who came before. ALEX! He went to the rainbow bridge at the ripe olde age of 23. We miss you Alex!
Love and purrs, Raymond
I never met the two black cats in my human's past - they lived in different decades than me - but I hear they were awesome!
ReplyDeleteHugs to your mom and you, Raymond.
ReplyDeleteNot far from my house, we got 2 neighbour black cats ( One look like you and another one is floofy ) for me and mom they are gorgeous ! Mom even took a photo one of them : )
Wow, Alex was born in the same year as Heather. He certainly lived to a ripe old age! It's good that you're carrying on the black cat tradition in your household, Raymond!
ReplyDeleteMom has always been a fan of black cats ~ she thinks they are adorable. She adopted 2 beautiful black panther cats in her twenties, from a rescue shelter ~ and now some 30 years later she still loves and misses them. They were very special.
ReplyDeleteIn the UK black cats are considered to bring good luck ~ especially if one walks across your path.
Yoor Alex was a very special cat and we can tell that yoo all still love him. xx

aww, you are so sweet, Raymond. Alex was very handsome. He reminds our mom of her black cat Mouse in that first picture of the two of you together. The first kitties that our mom had were black.
