I love all the tributes, stories, poems, etc that everyone puts down for their beloved pets. In order for me to deal with my dear Smokey being gone, I've been trying to think of all the things he did that made me laugh, smile, or feel so incredibly loved by him. I was hoping I could start a thread where we could each in turn share something amazing about our passed furbabies.

I'll start..

Smokey used to give me what I called 'smokey-kisses' he would actually give me a kiss on a spot on my arm or leg, or sometimes my face if he was sleeping on my head (he usually did) These weren't licks, but much more humanlike kisses, and they were so sweet. I could even request them from him too!
Smokey would also sing in the bathtub, join me in the shower, and sleep on my head.

Ever since Smokey passed, Kramer has started his version of Smokey-kisses, he's not able to give them the same way, but he does a random one or two licks that he NEVER did before Smokey left us, a little odd ??

Iggie was a polydactyl tabby I had for a short 3 years when I was a teenager, he actually taught himself to pee in the toilet !! We thought my little sis wasn't flushing the potty - lol then I walked past the bathroom one day, and there was iggie, half in / half out using it!! It was such a trip!

When we were first married, we had a big fat half-Siamese named Nico. She was a very smart cat, who allowed us to live with her for about 18 years.

There are people who have a genuine fear of cats, though it has always baffled me. Once we had a friend who could not face driving home late, so he slept on the couch. He did not tell us he was afraid of cats.

To hear him tell of his night kept everyone laughing for years!

"It was horrible. I was drifting off to sleep, and there was an enormous weight on my chest. At first I thought it was a heart attack, but the purring clued me in, and I turned on the light...it was HER. I did not dare to try to pick her up and put her on the floor so I laid there in terror..I did not want to shout and wake you up, and I was afraid if I startled her she would attack me. I think I eventually drifted off to sleep.

"At sunrise, I woke up to find her still there. She looked me in the eye, and stood up.

She turned around.

Then, Nico began to SLOWLY lower her hindquarters onto my face. IT WAS WINKING AT ME!!
That's when I screamed and woke you up...."

Strangely, after that he claims he did not have trouble with cats any more-Perhaps after that horrible night there was nothing left to fear. He actually got to like the cat, but it took years.
