Heather's home for the Aged

 That's what Ron called it.  He was older, and I've always had at least one senior cat running around.  

I do love older cats; but I've lost too many to time.  I miss them.  

I had, and lost, many over the years.  

That's why I try, now, to have a range of ages in my home, for instance, a half grown kitten along with the original gangsters (6 years old) now.  

My experience with Torbie and Baby Girl; they were frenemies, but very bonded to Ron.  He died, Torbie died (she was 17), and Baby Girl died a few weeks later.  That was horrible, only made better by the fact I did still have Biscuit and the Original Gangsters.  

My vet said I would lose Biscuit in 2017, but he made it another 8 years after that, I did worry constantly though, particularly about what neighbors might be feeding him.  But he didn't get blocked he had a very peaceful (well deserved) transition.  

I had to feed certain foods to Biscuit or he'd get sick.  I don't ever plan to feed fish to any cat again but I did add some new foods that everyone likes.  

My arm is healing but not better by a long shot.  My aunt is working on that.  She also did my taxes and I get a small refund.  

I woke up with a pretty brutal headache but the Original Gangsters have been very cuddly with me.  I have been taking Excedrin for the head; I can't take the Naproxen with that so the arm is just getting the short end of it today.
