Moggies cats, pedigree cats, Scottish Fold.
Soon I will hit 20 years as cat owner. 19 with Goku (RIP), 10 with Aegir, 1 with Kiwi and Olav. When I adopted Goku I had a different, shallow and predjudiced idea about pedigree cats. I though they were animals for snobbish people, the flawless animal, the star animals. Although I didn't think the same about people with pedigree cats I knew (my friend had a purebreed siamese). As a cat lover, I still liked to look at pedigree cats, some had curious characteristics. Originally I liked the big long haired cats, Maine Coon. The most prominent and well known breeds were Persians, Siameses, Sphynx and Maine Coons. Back then it was obvious that Goku wasn't a pure moggy. Still, she wasn't a pedigree cat. I was curious to know what half race she was, I found comforting knowing that in the world there are other cats like her, once she would have gone. I assumed she was half persian, because her mum was chubby and long haired, and because Persian cats have small ears. But when, six years
Time to show my new kittens
I took them right after Goku's death. I don't think they substitiute Goku. I like to have cats around. However, the wound was still open, so it was hard to connect to them at the start. I always treated them well, but only lately I feel more connected. They're both male, black and with faint tabby mackerel pattern (Goku had faint tabby bloched pattern, Aegir, in her black parts has faint tabby spotted pattern) Originally, I planned to get only one cat. But in one week the cats became two Kiwi: https://scontent.fmxp3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/117822837_928764554289062_7824264073547966128_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=2&_nc_sid=0debeb&_nc_ohc=7ZJzuRV7CN8AX90cW6F&_nc_ht=scontent.fmxp3-1.fna&oh=12bc9ed1dc630dfd40978c1209b98fcb&oe=5FDE68C7 He was, morphologically, the complete opposite of Goku. While Goku had round cheeks and close set ears even as

Goku is dead
My cat Goku died yesterday, at the age of 19 and 3, to kidney failure. I miss her so much. I have her been cremated this morning, and now I keep her ashes in a heart-shaped urn. A Black urn, as black was her fur, in my bedroom. I was suggested to bury her in the garden. I also had the possibility to 'turn' my cat into a tree (there is an urn with seeds, you bury the urn and the seed will feed by your cat's ashes, growing a tree) But the issues I have with those options are that I felt like trowing my cat away, buried in an anonymous soil (even if it is my garden), and maybe having her body unearthed by some dog or some wild animal (such as a fox) right the next night. Or the tree, thinking at the tree falling sick and dying even younger than my cat (even though trees live some hundred or thousand years) or being cut because in a wrong place. I didn't want the cat I loved so much being trash or food for some animal. This week I'll adopt a new kitten. I love Goku but my life shouldn't

Oh yeah! I hear that a lot. When there's people that don't agree with someone, that one person might resort to shaming tactics.
