Mikesch loves being petted now, but still runs away from time to time. He hissed at me last night too when I went to kiss him on the head.

A friend has sent me this link today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zI3xPyGkS0o Because it is German here a little explanation. "Backe, backe Kuchen" (bake,bake a cake) is a traditional German children's song and nursery rhyme. In some ways it is similar to the English nursery rhyme "Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker's man..." While singing it the children stand face to face and clap their hands like the cats "clap" their paws in this video. In addition to the song text the guys in this video say things like "Wait, wait I startet with the wrong paw" or "One moment What did you say ""or "one moment, one moment, I have something at my paw ( have to clean it first ) "and so on when the cats stop "clapping". Actually not so difficult to understand what is going on no matter you know German or not. When this little movie could make only one person smile it has served its purpose.

So sorry to hear about Robocat. My condolences to you. He was a beautiful cat and we'll miss seeing that sweet face on Picato. RIP little guy.

That makes him a Mack-daddy...sorry, couldn't help it! Get that boy neutered if he isn't yet! Is it a son or a daughter? And who is the mother, not Nico Girl...

Thanks you all soooo much. You have no idea how much your comments help. There's no way around going through the shock of this sudden loss, or second guessing my decision, but your comments take some of the edge off and make it a little more like his life was noticed and enjoyed by others besides me.

Hey Mark, sorry to hear the sad news about your little buddy RC. I guess it's better for the cats when it is sudden like that, but sure is a punch in the gut for their people. So here's hoping for happier days ahead, and farewell to the the kitty who had the best name ever on this site!
