I have several female cats and this year each had a litter of kittens. One early and one later. The later mama decided she didn't mind nursing the other's well grown used-to-be-kittens which are now cats. They all have been eating dry food for quite a while.

17 years ago I started a thread introducing our new orange-tabby, Domestic shorthair kitten, Little Tyke.

Thread 'Introducing Little Tyke: A Tribute to Einstein'

Apr 27, 2008

As some of you know, we lost our very special 17 year old cat, Einstein, about a month ago. And even though we still have two more cats and a stray that visits daily, Tsu came home with this the other night.

He is three weeks old. Einstein's nickname was Little Tyke, so we named this little one in his honor.

I was watching Tsu yesterday and clocked almost five whole minutes that she wasn't looking at the new kitty.

Little Tyke ended up being female but the name stuck officially. Generally she was called Little Baby. Little Tike was the nickname of the orange-tabby domestic shorthair we had just lost named Einstein, who lived to be 17.

I just had to have Little Tyke put down, at age 17. And it never gets easier. It tears my heart out every time. We had many other cats and three dogs, but it is hard to imagine that just those two cats account for 34 years.

I wondered if I might want to go without any animals. But it didn't take long to realize I hate it. I've only gone three years of my life without at least one pet; up to a dozen pets when I was still married and we had the farm. I don't want to get married again and I didn't realize how alone I would feel without at least one pet.

One bonded pair of kittens coming up.

My condolences.

I know how it feels. I had to put down one of my cats last year, this one.
I really, really didn't want to, but I had to. She was an absolutely amazing cat, extremely social and friendly.

One bonded pair of kittens coming up.

I look forward to seeing them!
