My cat was named Topper.

I had him longer than 2 of my 3 kids. He was a Maine Coon Cat that we bought when he was 8 weeks old. My daughter called him the Angel Kitty because he followed me around like my guardian angel. If he loved you he let you know and if he didn't like you, you better believe he let you know! We got him a "brother' named Boomer when he was six months old (which we still have).

Topper lasted through moving 3 times and was a 100 % indoor cat. He got bit by a rattlesnake in our garage. I'm sure he was protecting our family just like a dog. He died in my arms on October 10, 2002

We have thought of getting Boomer another "brother" but I haven't been able to bring myself to do it yet. I keep saying that maybe when Logan (my youngest son who just turned 1) gets a bit bigger.

::sigh:: :cry:
