My older cat, Goldie has been with me for about 11 years now.  She is a little spoiled and if she whines (meows) too much, I just look at her and say "no whining" everytime until she stops.  It is funny that she seems to know what I mean.

Shadow, was a baby kitty I rescued about 4 1/2 years ago.  She was so courious and always by my side or in the window looking out at the world.  She was a huge cat with a gray/light gold tortious shell color patern.  She died a few months ago when my vet missed an obstruction.  It was too late when I took her to the Animan ER clinic after giving up on the regular vet.

My granddogger, Poco, is now with me and has been for about a month.  We have adopted each other and I think she and Goldie are good company for each other.  One morning I heard a sharp bark and Goldie came running down the hall.  I think she must have been nosing around Poco who did not like it and barked at her.  Poco has lost one eye to Glucoma and I am afraid she may lose the other eye too.  Glucoma causes a fluid build up in the eye and according to the (new) vet, it is very painful.  We're treating her with drops in her eyes for now to see if it will help.  If not, removing the eye would be better than letting her be in pain all the time.  She is almost blind now, and does pretty good by following my voice and her routine of getting to know her way around my house.

Some photos of the cats below, I will take a photo of Poco & post soon.
