RIP Sweet Jade

We got our sweet friend from the SPCA 12 years ago. We had seen a Siamese cat advertised in the paper that was up for adoption at the SPCA and we went to rescue it. As we were driving into the parking lot of the SPCA we saw a car driving out with the Siamese cat perched on the dash. We went into the shelter anyway and I fell in love with the big gray kitty the moment I saw him. They didn't accept checks, so I waited while Jason ran out to the ATM. They estimated that he was about 2 years old at the time. When we first brought Jade home he was a little snippy. He would act very affectionate and then bite the hand that was petting him. Sometimes our toddlers weren't as gentle as they should have been and Jade would tolerate it at the time, but later as they walked by, unsuspecting, Jade would wallop them with a whack upside the head! He didn't actually scratch them, but they got the point. Respect the cat! Over the years Jade became the perfect example of a house cat. When we moved to our country home he tangled with rats half his size and eventually fell in love with the front porch. We will miss you sweet kitty. You were a good companion.

Today, when Jason got home from work, he brought this little addition to the household.... we named him Jadeite.... he's a little stray from the gypsum factory.
