    This is Missy Mama. She is my office cat at the tire store where I work. She is about 17 years old and has lived with me in the store around 9 years. Officially she is our "mouser" :p She is the neatest cat I've ever met and has turned me into the "Crazy Cat Lady"

    None of these photos capture her personality :-? She did not like me snapping her picture!
    We always had cats while i was growing up but I was never particularly fond of any of them. Then she came to me, out of necessity and has turned me around!! Now I am Kitty Crazy :D

    She looks like a night cat. Daytime is for resting, nighttime is for adventure.

    OH, what a lovely cat! Missy Mama obviously is just chock full of personality.
    I know what you mean about meeting that one special cat and becoming a cat person. We had cats before and I loved them, but Feliz, our calico, has taken over our lives and hearts.
    However, as a mouser she is more of a supervisor, "Put the mousetrap there, I saw a rodent the other day, and please don't make me look at the results when the trap works."

    So nice to see Missy Mama, since we've heard mention of her from time to time. I love stores that have cats who live there. The nicest people are always there too. :)

    That's a nice-looking cat, S'mom. Missy Mama has gotten the snooze down to a fine art.

    I'm a little worried about her today :( She has gotten awful skinny and barfs a lot, but I think all old cats do that. My co-worker said she was barfing up blood yesterday after I left. Not bright red, but blood all the same :'( She seems just fine today. She has been kind of "clingy" lately.

    Hi Deanna,
    have you tried giving her a raw egg,..whisked of course,..its a lubricant and is nourishing,..i hope she improves,..she is an old lady at this stage.
