WHITNEY YOUNG BIRTHPLACE AND MUSEUM

SIMPSONVILLE, KY

More Cat Stuff The purple cat was Raylan's. It purred - he liked that one. The little white seal was a gift from a park ranger, the teddy bear was a gift from a friend, one fridge magnet was my Mom's (Max), one was a gift from a friend (Coho) and the cat's pajamas were a gift from my deceased 2nd husband's sister. There are still more once we carefully clear all the nooks and crannies from both of our places.

Cat Fish TV Now this little aquarium was Raylan's. He had a very complex mind however in his last years simply enjoyed laying in front of this aquarium watching fish go by. It is electric but used minimal power. It had a nice sound to it and did emit heat which Raylan also enjoyed at times.
Cat Toys The all loved this one as they could bat the ball around in a circle. The life of an indoor-only cat - they had fun.

Sinh Update 2024 Saw Sinh yesterday and he looked fantastic. He is very busy yet gladly took a moment to say hello - he liked my phone today. Sinh has a lot of lucky cats - see the one on the top shelf behind him? He's 47 now.

Resilient Mark showing me his twin double-dragon tattoos. He said "that was one of the biggest mistakes of my life". The pizza as always was comforting. Congrats to the FLICKR software engineers for correcting the O'Bannon glitch. I certainly noticed.
Urns for Pets My Son (in Guam) said he didn't realize this was a "thing" here in my neck of the woods. It is. We can't bury pets here as I live in a condo. It's not "legal". They have to go somewhere when they "cross the rainbow bridge". We bury them with honor, if one has the land to do so. Carly's ashes will be ready in a few days. This is at the Borden Pet Crematory & Memorial Center. If the ashes are not picked up, Bordens also has a sunflower field as their final resting place, they said. This is where she went: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=814690950682555&set=ecnf.100064249712847" rel="noreferrer nofollow">www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=814690950682555&set=ecnf...</a>

How Much Is That Kitten In The Window This beautiful tuxedo cat was spotted yesterday in the window of the Animal Care Society. They do steal hearts! She is the mirror image of our (RIP) cat, Raylan - aka Ben, who was also adopted here.
