Sadly we lost our tuxedo girl, Colby last year at the age of 21. She was the smoochiest kitty ever... although she was quite wild as a kitten!
Then just 2 months ago we lost our Scottish Fold boy, Kami at 17. He was the gentlest boy and really was my best mate and I'm still missing him terribly.
My wife and I both found our home really empty without a cat, so a week ago we adopted this caliby girl, Mika from a couple that sadly had to rehome her. She's 11 and very sprightly given her age! She seems to be quite a sweet girl and is settling in very well so far, she's very well behaved too. We didn't know what to expect as it's the first time we've adopted a cat, we just knew we didn't want to go through the kitten phase again. I think older kitties are the best.
