It has now been two months (Jan 12) since our “office manager” Taz went to kitty heaven. We miss him so much. But we know his spirit is still with us. Just ask the other cats in the house. He is here often, to play and be mischievous!
He and his brother Boots came to live with us early in June 2001. And boy did he live up to his name…but in a sweet sort of “Tazmanian Devil” way.
Here is his “baby” photo that was taken in July 2001. He was only a few month old.
He was with us for 8 years, so all you animal lovers know what it’s like to lose a pet, it’s a family member. But sometimes it is worse losing a pet than it is losing a human!
We were at odds on what to do. We did not want to bury him, even though this has been his home place for eight years. 
We did not want to leave him behind when we move.
Should we have him cremated and keep his ashes with us?
Then one day, very dear friend, Buz, sent us a lovely heart-felt email, and it helped us make up our mind. Thank you Buz! So we have Taz’s remains with us. And his spirit is too!
Please read The Orange Blanket for more about Taz.
We miss you Taz, and we love you, and we know you will always be with us!

If anyone know me and my husband, they know we love animals.
Especially cats. We have a few indoor ones, all different personalities, which can make for a household of fun!
So when this little outdoor guy decided to adopt us, we had no choice but to accept the job!
We were out on our (sorry, Randy’s) deck the other night, and I noticed he had no one to play with. (He usually converses through the window at our indoor babies, but when they get bored, off they go!)
So I got him a toy mouse to play with. He wasn’t sure of it at first (it was red with a white tail), but soon started batting it around. Having a good time!
Then I asked my husband, I wonder if he’ll put the mouse in the food dish like our indoor kitties do. I know cats have an instinct to keep their food in one safe spot. (at least I think this is why our kitties put the toys in their food dishes)
Anyway, I no sooner spoke the words and “plop” right in the food dish the mouse went! (What do you think? Did he hear what I said and just want to entertain me?)
It is very neat to see the similarity even though they are in “different” worlds!
