African cichlids are awesome. Constant aggression and posturing. And beautiful colors. I had a tank years ago that I kept angel fish and discus in. Had several tanks actually. I bred both of the above but got bored and sold them all and just filled the big tank with lots of coral and african cichlids.

Here's a "harvest" from a brushing of Vivi, my 18-year-old 11-pound domestic shorthair cat. She sheds like mad for a couple of months in the Spring/early Summer. I can get this much off her a couple of times a week, which is about as often as she'll let me brush her. There's bribery involved, and that's all I'll say.

Don't anymore, but I had quite a few when I was a kid/teenager. I love African chiclids, so colorful and entertaining, and always had lots of babies swimming hatching. I wouldn't mind having a fish tank again, maybe once my last cat has passed.

"Booberry", or "Boo" for short.

Gorgeous cat, brains of a trout.

But, we love him anyway.

Cooper (far left) and Stella (far right) hanging out with their buddies Charlie & Murphy on Halloween. Didn't have a costume for them so threw a Christmas sweater on Cooper and a spider bandana on Stelly. Shocked that they all posed for a picture. Also not sure how the picture got on my phone since I didn't take it lol but nonetheless I can't complain!

Cats live to 18? Irma gerd! In 2009 we went to the pet store to get a second ginea pig to keep our one company. We picked one out and was checking out and the gal at the counter said ginea pigs are very territorial and don’t get along well. So we put it back.

Then we started playing with the kittens and ended up taking home a brother and sister. Never owned a cat, always had dogs. One died this year of cancer. The other one is chugging along. We just became empty nesters and figured Wilbur might make it to 14. Then we can start traveling in our RV. Well, today I find out he can live to 18? I guess he’ll have to come along with us.

My vet's oldest cat patient is 25. Just had Vivi in for a full exam a couple months back, and the vet says her lab results look like a cat 10 years younger. Only issues so far have been a couple teeth that went bad and had to be extracted. So she needs softer food nowadays, but a little bit of experimentation got us a solution to that. And she has an eye condition whose name I can't recall that causes her pupils to fail to constrict much so she has to squint if there's lots of sun coming in the patio door.

She adopted me in August of '02, when I found her newborn in my garage one evening.

My boy Tigger (the tabby) just pulled chocks last month-- he was just shy of 23 years old.

He had gotten a (mostly) clean bill of health from the vet a few weeks earlier and while we were on vacation for a week, he apparently got up out of his heated basket, took a few steps, and just..... called it a day.

My neighbor who was taking care of our three (now two) boys called us in tears.

I miss him every day. 23 years is a long time to have a kitty, and he was a great cat-- whenever I came home from a trip, he'd hear the garage door open and would meet me at the door expecting the "pets" that were his due for waiting for me.

Sigh.

A lot of people don't appreciate that a cat, at least some cats, act like a puppy dog with their owners.
