I say a prayer to Sammy most every evening. It goes something like
this, " Sammy, if we are to live together for the next 15 years, I
want to die one second before you. I wont be able to bare living one
second without you.

I have had black cats for many many years... I dont know why, but they
are special to me. None more than my present 1 1/2 year old Sammy.

I have a 1 1/2 year old black cat, too. He's the first black cat I ever
had. And he is very special. He is a polydactyl too....has 7 toes on each
of his front feet and 5 on each of his back. Which makes him extra extra
special!

I have a sleek back Bombay mix that is very very special. Extremely
affectionate, smart, and vocal!

My Isis is a black cat. She and I have a very special bond. I think she's
been my cat for many lifetimes.

On the topic of black cats, I would like to ask anybody if they have a
cat that matches this description:

Black cat, long hair, gold eyes, white feet, and white whiskers.

About 7 years ago, my mom found a cat by the side of the road and
rushed him to the vet. He was a stray, very underweight and very
sweet. We paid the vet bill and brought him home. He seemed to
approve, but after 2 weeks, he went downhill and died.


He made a huge impression on me, and all I have for a photo of him is
one icky photo of him when his eye was sewn shut. He was really
sensitive and sick at the time, so I did not set up a nice shot. I
just used available light and took a shot of him lying on the bed. It
was supposed to be the "before" shot in a before and after set.

I would really like to have a photo of a healthy cat that looks like
Jasper would have looked and how I would like to imagine him at
Rainbow bridge.

I am amazed at how hard it is to find this combination. Even a closeup
of a face is hard because most black cats do not have white whiskers
or they have white on their face. I even do pet photography, and I
would photograph all cats in the house for free if I could find this
cat within driving distance. But no luck. There is no breed that
matches this, so it is a random pattern, and I just haven't had any
luck finding one.

I have found a cat that has the right body type, but no white whiskers
or feet.

Would anybody have a photo of a cat that matches this and be willing
to send me one via email?

My email is . I would only use it for
personal viewing.

Thou shalt have no other God's before me.

It's the first commandment, the next one says... don't have any
idols...

Definitions of idol on the Web:

* a material effigy that is worshipped; "thou shalt not make unto
thee any graven image"; "money was his god"
* someone who is adored blindly and excessively

In 1888, an Egyptian farmer accidentally uncovered a large tomb
containing thousands upon thousands of mummified cats and kittens.
This discovery, outside the town of Beni Hasan, contained around
eighty thousand cat bodies that date back to 1000-2000 BCE.
