Friday Cat Picture: Streaks at 21 (from 2007-09-07)

[update 2008-10-10 Streaks would have been 22 in September 2008.  She didn’t make it. 

The sweet cat that my sister raised from a kitten died on May 27.  It’s hard for me to imagine what the lengthy period of companionship represents. 

Our youngest cats were 14 this September and I know we’d miss any of them, even while thinking how nice it would be to be able to go on trips and not be concerned for their care.]

My sister's cat Streaks is 21 years old.  She is not so kittenish, but she still has her moments and is a loving cat.  She sat still for me setting up a new Vista Home Premium PC in the room where she usually spends most of her time undisturbed.  

Now her human has found more games to play.  Wait until the broadband is installed, Squeaks.

[update 2008-10-10 This retrospective re-post is part of my preservation of material originally posted on Orcmid’s Live Hideout.  I am consolidating the material I want to preserve here and on Professor von Clueless in the Blunder Dome.  These blogs are at my own hosted web site, are fully backed-up on my SOHO system, and can be moved at will.  I prefer that.

 update 2007-09-11 Uh, the cat's name is Streaks, not Squeaks.  I must have Smalltalk on the brain.]
