Description

I have seven cats. All of them have been at one time in their lives abused, maimed, or abandoned. This photo is of my oldest boy (Winston on the left) and my youngest girl (Marian). Winston was a feral cat that had his eye shot out and Marian had both her back legs broken and her abdomen crushed in a run in with a car. He's about 19 now, and she about 10 months old. Winston loves every living thing with a passion, but especially people and other cats. So, of course, every time a new cat comes to live here, Winston does his level best to make them feel welcome and loved. He sort of sets the tone for the entire household. And, so I present a fairly typical picture of cat relations at our house.

Winston is very passioned and so must be you! I respect so much what you mean to the animal world! This is a moody and wonderful photograph! Hearthwarming! Wish your seven cats ( and perhaps more to welcome ), you and yours all the best of the world.

I love cats. I would have a cat again, but my GF is not a cat person and they know it. This is a great picture, I love the fact it's nothing but cat. Very good shot.

After I dry my eyes... I will comment... ahem... let's see... here we go... All I can say is how lucky for you and for them... the animal bond is a special one. I can't wait to go to Heaven, because there animals have voices... I am sure of it... and there will only be people like you there... people with pure and loving spirits, who really cared about the conditions of second-class citizens/animals in this world. Most touching and heart-warming!
