Funny how they become your best buddy when the temperature drops a little
AwwwwThese two were adopted about a month ago and doing really well.
They have become my vaping companions.

It is cold! Especially for Durbs... Snow on the Berg... Baby Choo is always my best friend... she is one special cat... I will have to skype her while I'm away!
Spent a lot of time at Vape King and not only is it a great store... but it has the most awesome cats...
Baby Choo hiding... then out in a sunbeam!
This pitched up on our doorstep on Saturday night, no idea where it came from. We checked with our neighbors and posted on local FB pages, no one knows. We checked the streets around our house in case it had escaped from a dumped box or bag but found nothing. We suspect it was tossed over our fence from the street.
What kind of person just throws this away like a used beer can?!

My wife took the baskets this morning for cleaning and blanket washing... Baby Choo was not impressed to I had to MacGyver her a temporary setup.
Cold nights... need to be on or close to Dad! Baby Choo! 
I'm actually completely and utterly heartbroken at the moment
And I need to share the story of my Oliver, as nothing seems to be dulling the severe hurt.
My baby (Oliver) passed away last week from a brain aneurysm and I can't get the sad to go away!
I had him from 1 day old before his eyes even opened!
One cold night Oliver's mother found a bakkie with an open window and decided this would be the best place to have her kittens,
when the owner of said bakkie found the kittens the next morning he just threw them out onto the sidewalk!!!!
Only 2 survived....which the local vet placed in my & mommy's care....as we are the only ones from the small town that are known to have raised many animals from birth.
(My mother and I are real softies for our children and have raised almost any animal you can think of, coming from living on the side of a mountain in Swaziland)
Both kittens were incredibly adorable and grew quickly into their personalities.
The little girl went to one of the vet's helpers and I couldn't let myself part with the little boy!
From the moment he could speak, he was always asking for more....hence he was named "Oliver"
One of his favorite tricks was to innocently approach during dinner, purring at your feet and delicately meeting the gaze of the non-suspecting victim....and in a flash of fur, your chicken would be missing from your plate
He slept with me under the covers in winter and on top or beside me during summer.
Even when I left home, my bed was the only one that he would sleep upon...if he actually came inside.
(Besides the dog's....which he would kick out, to have said bed)
My poor mom grew more and more frustrated with him, as he ignored most people (unless stealing chicken of your plate) and spent most of his hours outside alone....that is; Until I would come home!
Then he wouldn't leave the house or my side.
I say "side" but mean: Around the back of my neck, my shoulders while I walked about, my lap, chest and even liked to lay on the back of the couch with all 4 paws gently kneading at my head or playing with my hair.
He even had free "medical aid" he was so special....As the vet asked my mom and I to take him in, whenever he needed anything vet related, my mom would return to "Collect maintenance" and Oliver would have all treatments free
He even managed to stealthily sneak into my car every single time I was leaving home, just to try get away with me.
....and I can't stop tearing up every day, thinking of and missing him incredibly so!!
I can't bare to to even look at pictures of him, so I can't show you guys yet.
But soon I will upload some pictures of him, so you guys can see!
Sorry for the ramble of sadness

Oh dude, I totally understand what you're going through, I've been there so many times and every time I swear to myself that I would never allow myself to be in the situation where I would lose another furry family member. But here we are again with 5 cats and 4 dogsI'm actually completely and utterly heartbroken at the moment

I wish I could tell you that the pain goes away but it doesn't, I still get that stupid frog in my throat when I think about cat family that left us even as long as 20 years ago. It does get easier though. Their time spent with you was everything to them, you made their entire life worth living, their whole life was one of fun, excitement and pleasure, their time on this earth was well spent. Pat yourself on the back man, you did good
Heart breaking @TheLongTwitch. We feel with you.
So sorry @TheLongTwitch. The pain of losing a family member (and pets are family members) is acute... I feel your pain...
I lost my Spokie kat in March. She just went out one morning and didn't come back. I kept calling and calling, and still today I sometimes call.
In May we went to the SPCA, and adopted a female doggy, and a male kitten.
Mattewis did not take Spokie's place, but he sure makes it easier.

Thanks for the heartfelt gestures guys, it has indeed helped!!
After losing my old boy earlier this year (cat that was almost 21 years old) I just can't seem to shake it off this time.
But it hasn't even been a week yet....and I'm sure that I will endure.
Oliver was my child and nothing will stop me missing him, but sharing the story was something I needed to do and even 1 reply would have helped!
Thanks again @BumbleBee @Andre @Rob Fisher and @AniDey
