farewell ringo!


diedre loves the kitties


this one goes: ringo


this one stays: westley

now, that might seem harsh, but ringo is the toughest cat we've ever met. we have quite the history with him. he was left at our farm house by his previous owner and our housemate said he would keep him. then our housemate went away to work for nearly 2 years!!! so we've assumed responsibility for ringo. he eats alot, but he also is a big growly, hissy jerk to the other pets and although he went through a real lovey dovey stage (after an other animal dislocated his hip, and we paid for the x-rays, and he had to get surgery), he has returned to his natural grumpiness. he has lashed out at diedre twice and cut up the side of her face (pretty close to the eye). so i decided it was time for him to go. i put an ad in craigslist.org and within a week, someone responded who wanted an outdoor cat to catch rats in richmond (yucky) and she came and picked him up today! yay!

i was a little sad so thats why i documented some of his last moments at home. sleeping on our bed (which incidently he had been banished from because of his recent pooping incidents).


multi-tasking


grasping


super cutie pie
