My roommates

Because of the lack of a husband I now have the dreaded spinster cats as my roommates. But they are so loveable and cute that I don't mind organizing my entire life around them. My grey one, Sebastian is so sweet. I found him as a stray outside of Douglas WY in 2003. He's had a rough time as he developed some auto-immune disorder that now requires 'gold therapy' treatments. I inject him 3x/month with gold salts and he seems to do well. I now consider myself pretty close to being a vet with all the shots and drugs I give him. People ask if it's possible to melt him down after he passes away to recoup the gold. I don't think it works that way.

Caspian is my 'foster' cat. I'm holding on to him for a missionary family who has been in Croatia for almost 3 years. I have no idea if he'll eventually return to his owners or if he'll be mine to keep. His family came to visit him last year and it took him a while to spark a memory of them. They only had him 8 years! Anyway, he's not really hugable as he is easily irritated but he likes to play and is a great watchdog 'kitty'.
