Thanks, Neptunemoon! It was tough. I still miss him terribly. I even kept some of his fur, if you can believe that. That's how attached I was to him. He was my best friend in the whole world. Even the vet was in love with him. She was so upset when he died, that she arranged for the autopsy for free. Of course, she was worried that she had overlooked something, but it turned out to be the kind of problem that none of us could have ever known about in time.

I think that is whats going to be hard for me as a vet. I have a feeling I'm gonna cry for every patient that passes away or that I euthanize. Thats actually a good idea of keeping some fur. To always remember. I have so many pics of my cat I wish I could post them but I no longer have a scanner. I have a whole album and starting another one just on him.
Another thing about Maine Coons is that they have a meow that sounds almost like a lamb. It's so cute! And if you say something to them, they will look at you and say something back (although I have no idea what!!). Also, I noticed with my cat, Trevor, that he could recognize certain words and know what I was asking him ... such as whether he was hungry or wanted to go outside, etc. It was amazing. My other two cats simply resort to telepathy, which, unfortunately for them, doesn't always work!

Wow he is soooooooooooo adorable. I love his fur. He must have been great to cuddle with. He has really pretty eyes as most cats do. Oh he is soo cute it brings a tear to my eye. Also a very nice couch you have. Surprisingly it looks real good considering all the cats you have and how they like to scratch. Your desk is also very professional looking. I noticed that cats love to sleep on paper and I wonder why?
Thanks! Yes, he was really fluffy and very soft. Like Jeisan said, they all have such soft fur! Also, he didn't shed that much, which was nice. I don't know why cats like to sleep on paper, but they most certainly do. And they also love to pose as "desk warmers"--right in the middle of whatever you are doing at the moment! LOL.

His name is Sunny, we called him that because our other cat at that time, we got from the animal rescue centre, and she was already named Misty. So we thought it was appropriate to name him something similar and to fit his coloring.
I couldn't get the pics to work either becoz they were too large, but i edited them and resized them.

Satori: sorry to hear about what happened to your cat. I know how it feels, my first cat was 16 and i was 15 when she got a tumor in her stomach, she stopped eating, and i came home from school one day, and i bought special treats for her, but when i got home, she was in her bed appearing to be sleeping, but alas... *sniff*
My father still made me go to school next day, and I kept crying in lessons.
So we went to the animal rescue centre and "adopted" Misty, we bonded straightaway, she had previously been mistreated by her former owners, so she was quite fierce, and would attack people for no reason, but i was the only one who she would let pick up and cuddle.
Then some people we knew adopted a stray who gave birth to kittens, so I went and choose Sunny, all the kittens were the same color, so I choose him becoz he was the only one with a white tummy. Otherwise when we came back to collect him, we wouldnt have known which one we chose, (^_~) lol.
even his sister was ginger, it's unusual, gingers are generally male.
i made good choice though, he is a real character. he is so special to me.
Sadly Misty, whom I loved dearly, was involved in hit & run accident in the street.
Sunny, I missed too when I was in Japan, and also he would run around the house looking for me while i was away. he didn't understand why i wasnt there. So i don't really want to leave him for 1 year, next time i go to Japan. I will miss him so much. My friend from Japan has been studying here 3 years in University, and he really misses his doggies. he goes home every summer though. But he told me last week he was worried about his older dog, becoz he had just had a heart attack, but luckly his younger brother, (studying dentistry) managed to get the dog's heart going again by massaging it's chest. It was very lucky! I'm glad for my friend.

ahh... it's 1:00AM already, Sunny is keeping the bed warm, so I'd better join him now. although i will have to move him over to one side so i can get into bed. Cats always sleep right in the middle don't they. lol
No doubt he will wake me up really early for breakfast, haha, my fault for staying up so late.

Thanks, Sakura. I'm sorry to hear about your first cat. That had to be hard going to school the next day too! What was difficult for me was that I had to put Trevor in the refrigerator overnight so that he could be preserved for the vet to perform an autopsy on him later. Also, I just couldn't keep from petting him, even after he was dead. It was hard... That's amazing that your friend's brother was able to perform CPR on that dog! What a hero!!

Sakura your cat is soooo cute. Sorry bout your first cat. All these pics are just too cute. I love it when my cat sleeps with me. Did you notice when they twitch when they sleep. I wonder if they are having a good or a bad dream. Also my cat loves to stay with me when I take a shower. He cant have it any other way. LOL

Thats so sad that they will be extinct. I love tigers and want to work at tiger island. What zoo was it that you worked for and how did you get the job?
It wasn't a paid job it was Co-operative Education for High school. its a very small park, only a few animals but its still nice, its Twin Vally Exotic Animal Park and Petting Zoo.
Tigers wont go extinct if something drastic is done very soon, with the cheetah too littles been done too late, the gene pool is very week from inbreeding because they have such low numbers. I want to work with tigers too but unfortunatly i'm only doing college but i'm seriously thinking about being a Conservation Officer (basically a cop for Nature in canada)
