The CAT thread.
Photos, and something about your cat.
This is Chalkie. She got to be 21 and a half years old. I put that down to eating fresh steak everyday  and never hearing the word no. Super confident and loved a party on in the house.  I love this cat. He is my present pet. He was a wild cat down on his luck so I started feeding him, and, well cats... A while later he had moved in and sleeping on the end of my bed

This is Ghia. My wife got her from the Persian rescue. She's a PITA. She smells bad: her face is so jacked up from countless generations of inbreeding to get "the look" that she doesn't have the capacity to keep herself clean. Her eyes are constantly clouded up with mucous. She snores. She gets her face wet when she drinks and then dries it off by laying it on clothes/furniture/anything dry. She's already racked up a couple thousand in medical bills. She has ruined several hundred dollars worth of carpeting/bedding/etc by peeing all over it, but the wife keeps making excuses for her, and so she stays.

I have two that were taken in at 5-6 months born to a small feral colony on my crazy ex father in laws property. Toby and Tilly. The male was very attached to my lab that passed away on Monday. As I type this the two of them are chasing each other all over the house. They get along really well. Tilly is a master at leaving hair everywhere and sleeping in odd yoga poses.

Here's Callie (calico) and Carlotta (black-and-white). They were both born in my back yard, although with different parents and a year or so apart, in a '56 sunroof bug shell I had. I got them fixed and they were besties until Callie got hit by a car last spring. During the cold snap last winter they would sleep in the garage on a pile of towels behind the wine fridge.

Pickles and Rika.
 I love cats. On a farm cats are essential. We have three cats, two barn cats and a house cat, all rescues. The two barn cats are 2 and the house cat, Didi, 12. He brother, Dexter, died last year.

These are our two. On the left is Rio, a Maine Coon; on the right is Vivian. Their personalities could not be more different, I don't think. He is friendly and outgoing and a bit of a goof, she is very shy. But she is absolutely committed to Rio - rarely lets him out of her sight. Both are rescue cats adopted at the same time - and yes, we kept the names they had when we adopted them. FWIW, we have learned the hard way and now never, ever, let our cats go outside. We were skeptical about this at first, but they have done beautifully being indoor cats.

Had our previous cat of 15 years put down (liver failure); wife was heartbroken. Said she'd eventually might want another cat, but wanted to wait 6-8 months. Two weeks later we came home with a pair of kittens, Russian Blue mixed:
 They pretty much named themselves: Fat Boy (small body with a really big head) and Squeaky (first month or so he tried to meow it came out more like "eek"). We just celebrated their 10th birthday, both fat and happy:  BTW, Fat Boy is ~13 lbs. and Squeaky is pushing 19 lbs.

Widebody you mention vet bills... Toby, cat in pic #2 and here again, I joke with my friends "You wouldn't believe it, I got the cat FOR FREE." I'm now getting close to $4,500 in vet bills. Not to mention my own medical bill for when he was still in his wildcat mode of the early days. LOL
