I'm an animal lover. Especially cats. In 24 years my family has lived with, loved and cared for over 24 cats, and other animals. We are down to 6 cats. Smokey (16 years old, white, cantankerous male), Murphy (15 years old, domestic shorthaired nervous male), Precious (14 year old skittish white female), Bumpter (12 year old black male, the lover of the bunch), My silly Poose cat (10 year old ginger male) and Kali (6 year old calico female) She is named after the Hindu goddess of Death, Destruction and Rebirth. The first 3 cats listed here I 'inherited' after both my parents passed.
That a painful bit, my Parents passing. Please all of you who smoke, youe heard it before and youl hear it again. Please STOP smoking. It killed my parents. My Mother died of Lung Cancer 6/28/02 and my Father died of Emphysema and a broken heart 1/9/04. You can meet my parents by using the link below.
Smoking tried to claim the life of my younger brother. He 37 years old and I recently had to take him to the Emergency Room as he was turning blue! His lung had collapsed and he spent a week in the hospital with a foot of surgical tubing in his chest trying to re-inflate his damaged lung and now wears a tag so that if suddenly turns blue the emergency team needs to check his lungs first as they may have collapsed again. He has also been diagnosed with Emphysema. All this from cigarettes.
