Here are a few snapshots of Linda's cats, past and present.

This is Hobo. He's a ruddy abyssinian, and he's a silly boy.

Rina was a very intense cat. She was a blue abyssinian.

Rudy was a fawn abyssinian. She was mostly blind after five eye surgeries, but that didn't slow her down. Cancer did.

Chipper (left) was a 21-year-old "mutt" cat. Caspar was a 19-year-old ruddy aby.

Sydney (left) was leery of Rudy, but she loved fresh corn, cut off the cob, more than she was scared of Rudy.

Rina and Missy (red aby) love sleeping in clean sheets! Missy is still around at age 16.
