pitiful affectation - any time we had any food that even hinted at Italian in smell, she went crazy for it - she would not leave me alone and would try to eat pasta, tomato sauce, pizza, you name it! Must have been from what that was what she was surviving on in the dumpster, poor thing. Quirky, funny, fussy, and quite imperious, she loved nothing more than to sit in my lap, or stay on our porch and watch the world, albeit with just one eye. She was MY cat (or I should say, I was HER human!) and the other cats knew not to try and sit in my lap or sleep by my head. We fostered her for a while, trying to save her eye (it was too far gone and had to be removed) and decided to adopt her since she and I fell in love with each other.

She was someone's pet - who knows how she ended up on the streets. Took her in to get her TNVR'ed (where they spay and clip an ear to show they have been treated) only to find out, after the ear clipping, that she'd already been spayed. One of her eyes was messed up pretty bad as well. Poor thing was starving, had lots of injuries from other cats, but was so sweet and was crying out for someone to rescue her. She was rescued by a wonderful young woman/cat rescuer from near a dumpster behind an Italian restaurant during the Kung Flu lockdowns when she went to get some takeout. All have distinct personalities and backgrounds, but we recently lost a very sweet, precious cat named Ana, aka Empress Anastasia, Ana Banana, Nanner, and many other goofy names. Me and the wife have probably had 35+ cats in our lives (a few for her before we met 36 years ago, and MANY since we got married). Greetings from Florida! Big AoS Pet Thread fans here and couldn't imagine our weekends without reading all the fine submissions.

Please pass on our condolences to your wife.

So sorry that you and your wife have lost Sparkie. In a pic from several years ago, being chauffeured around on a bike Vet at the end of June after a long life with us (16 years). Sadly, our good and faithful Yorkie, Sparky, made his final trip to the There's a cat who knows how to watch greebles!

Hi KT, attached is a picture of Robert the Cat (TM) watching the greebles at play.
