We have Puss since she was a baby, and she's now almost 16. She's extremely loving, very vocal, and the most unique and special cat that I've ever known. We lost her brother "Boots" about a year and 1/2 ago, and after a couple of weeks, she became very restless, going to the windows and looking out for hours at a time, and crying all night long...she missed her buddy.

So we adopted a couple of kittens, and immediately her restlessness stopped. They're now a year old, and she's slowly getting along with them, with a growl or a hiss here and there when they mess with her, just to show 'em who's the Top Cat in the house...

Recently she's been diagnosed with Intestinal Lymphoma. Fortunately, we caught it very early on, she's responding well to treatment, and with luck, we may have her for another year or two.

Princess Puss, our wonderful senior cat!
