Give a shout out in honor of your furry friend if you'd like to :beat. Share a picture or layout.

Is there a "best" memory you'd like to share that highlights your feline's personality?
 
We almost bought a cat on a whim one day but we decided to buy parakeets instead.

Our neighbor’s cat likes to come visit so that’s our favorite cat.

We had a cat and kittens show up in our backyard one day but this is the only photo I got:
 
My daughter's cat Noel and I had a special relationship. This photo makes me laugh. He had had surgery for a fistula and had to wear a cone for a few days. He insisted on draping himself around my neck every chance he got. I felt so sorry for him, I of course let him climb up often during his recovery. He was such a sweet goofy cat. I'm a dog person but I sure did love that cat. He passed away a few yrs ago.

Well, this layout is scrapped with stuff from a designer at another site, I hope it's ok I share? You don't see much of the design anyway. LOL

This quote is sooo great ... and true! Cats sure know how to be in the now!

Discord & Mårten are the one living with us now, the others are waiting at the rainbow bridge. These are the cats I've owned (or rather these are the cats that owned me!) since I left home. We've always had cats at home as well.

I love them all dearly, but Mario will always be the best - we were soul mates! He's been gone now for 6 years, I still get tears in my eyes when I see photos of him. I miss him sooo much!

Boris was my first cat, he didn't have a tail and he was such a spoiled little brat. After he passed it took over 10 years before I could get around to risk losing a cat again. That was when we got Mario & Luigi - my Siamese twins! When Luigi passed we got Yade. Siamese cats absolutely need a companion. Then Yade passed and we really tried to have just Mario, but he got so lonely. I had to carry him around ALL THE TIME, so to be able to do anything without him on my arms, we got Discord. He was a tiny little baby when we got him, now he's 6 years old. Only a couple of months after Discord moved in, Mårten needed a new home, and we took him in. I'm convinced he came here to help me with the loss of Mario, because only 3 weeks later, we had to let Mario go. Mårten's original name (that his former owner had given him) was Mario!

Mårten is my darling, he's so affectionate and precious. Discord ... well, let's just say, we picked the right name for him. LOL
 
I really LOVE cats! they are smart, independent, faithful, loyal, kind and cute fellows. Here a layout about my currently furbabies -I've been having cats all my life, from my childhood, so I can imagine the life without one of them-
My actual furbabies are Milo, Minnie and their baby Mittens. Here the whole family.
They are Lynx point siamese cats.

What a beautiful kitties and page dear @tanteva
 
This is our current cat, Nikita, who we adopted six years ago. At the time, we were told she was 8 years old, but now we think she was probably only 4 or 5 as she doesn't seem to have aged at all. She is really good with our 18 month old granddaughter and likes to walk up to her, then waits for her to pet her and lets her bury her face in her fur.
 
This is the only cat I will ever have, because I'm allergic to them! The photo was taken when I was around four years old, I believe, and this is Candy the Calico. I loved this cat so much. We didn't have her for long because I guess she was a terror and would attack us, but I don't remember that at all. I was so sad when my dad took her away, and this photo is all I have of her.

Would I have a cat now if I wasn't allergic to them? I don't think so. I'm just not a cat person anymore.

Here I am in 1985 at the age of 13 with my childhood cats, black and white Charles Andrew (Charlie) and part Maine-Coon, Princess Duchess (Prinny). My sister (5 years older than me) named both of them. Princess came from a shelter and was a year old when my mom adopted her. Charlie, whose mother was a stray cat, was one of three litters born in our backyard in my early years. I still remember when Charlie was the only one we still had and my sister answered the phone, the caller answering our newspaper ad offering free kittens. My sister put them on hold, pleaded with our Mom, and then went back to the phone and told the caller we had no more kittens left.

@tanteva I enjoyed reading about your furry family members. Brought a tear to my eye to read about Mario and the loss of your soul mate. But then you made me laugh with the Discord comment. :beat
