That's good news...Sheba must be a very happy cat to live such a long life. Your photo's of you family, your cats and your gardens are beautiful! You have a little slice of heaven there don't you.

We have a big garden too and occasionally have the odd deer or bear roam by. Fortunately the bears were not too active this past year. Everyone here has to practice bear aware living so we don't attract them to our backyards. Sadly not everyone does and then the bears get into trouble and end up getting shot. This year there was only one bear shot, thankfully the rest were all tranquilized and relocated.

I feed Rocky a dried food from Medi-Cal, its vet recommended which means it's expensive but again it's the only dried food Rocky will touch. I spent a small fortune on trying all the expensive natural foods and he just turned his nose up to them all, including tuna a salmon so I finally just gave in to the shrimp thing. Now a days shrimp is a lot less expensive and in the end probably about the same as canned food.

I found a recipe for a cat crunchie treat that plan to try on him. Let me know if you want the recipe and I'll send it along.

Warm wishes.
