With the amount of activity generated by the untimely demise of our cat, Holly, and everyone sharing their pet experiences, I figured we might as well centralize it. So come on in here and post some of your photos of your pets if you so desire--whether in memoriam or otherwise.
Holly (In Memoriam)
Unfortunately we had to euthanize Holly recently, but she was a 13 year old domestic shorthair (even though she looked a lot like a korat). She was chill, social, regal, would love to sit on laps and watch hockey, or chill on my wife lap while she read. She was one of those cats who loved to lick her guardians. Aside from the 'nip, her addiction was condensation on a glass--if your glass has some condensation on it she would try to come over and lick it off. She was also great to photograph. The picture here was one of a small set where I was experimenting with a portrait lighting scheme, and she came over to the little bench I had set up and sat down. She helped me tweak the final light settings. She came down with a very aggressive metastatic lymphoma that started attacking her organs, so euthanasia was the only option.
Firefly
Firefly is about 5 years old. She is a dilute tortoiseshell Manx (for those not in the know about cat breeds--no tail). True to her coloring, she does have the "tortitude"; she's sassy vocal, wants her way and lets you know when she's pleased or displeased. She will tap us with her paw when she wants you to pay attention to her and she will regularly "converse". Unlike Holly was, she's not too social and the minute someone else comes in *vip!* she's gone and behind a couch or under the bed.

, and she was mobility-impaired so having a pair of cats underfoot could have been bad for her.
