RIP Babooner

Here is a picture of Siamezer and Babooner. Siamezer died about a year ago and lately Babooner has been the last of our feral cat colony. We had Calico Kitty but she has been missing for the last couple of months and I can only hope that she found a good home.

The hubbie and I bought a house 2 weeks ago and one of our concerns was how to establish our outdoor kitty, Babooner, at the new house. Well, we don't have to worry about that anymore.

My husband discovered his body this morning on the stairwell towards our backdoor where he sleeps. He most likely died due to old age and the diseases that come with it. I had noticed that he was not looking too good lately but nothing to indicate to me that this weekend was his last. He was pretty feral. I never touched him once in the 10 years that we fed him. We trapped and neutered him when he was about 2 years old. So, for a feral cat he lived a long life. Still I wish that I could have at least touched him once before he died. We are still looking for Calico...

UPDATE: The apartment folks told us that a pack of dogs killed my kitty. I felt bad before but now I feel like shit. I feel like I could have prevented his death. I know that outdoor cats are exposed to more dangers than indoor kitties but after 10 years of taking care of him I figured we had another 10 years. I never worried about him he could out run anything...I guess I was wrong. I will miss you Babooner, you were the last of my feral colony and the patriarch. Rest in Peace.

Crack Cat vs. Smooth Operator

Okay, I love how Paco is so smooth on his arm on my Ana cat but seriously can she be more cracked out?!? They are total opposites!

I suspect that something twitched on the floor when I took this picture but who knows?
