Brad's Cats
 
 
 
I currently have four wonderful kitties:
Princess,
Josie,
Riley and
Cali.
I've also lost three kitties over the years:
- Tiger was an incredibly cool male cat that all the lady cats admired. He passed away
in November 2008 at approximately 18 to 19 years old. Tiger was my very first cat and I miss him terribly.
- Linda was a strikingly beautiful brown tabby who passed away in February 2010 at age
15-1/2. She had chronic renal failure, but it was a sudden flair up of lymphoma that caused her the most harm. Linda
and Tiger were best friends for over 14 years. She was sweet and vocal and gorgeous - and sorely missed.
- Sali was a cat with tremendous personality. She lived in my office at work. Sali passed
away at the young age of four from leukemia in August 2006. She brightened the day of all who visited my office and
is missed by so many.
All my cats are indoor-only cats to protect them from disease, cat fights, mean people, coyotes and cars. To enhance
their quality of life, they have access to an outdoor cat enclosure and to indoor catwalks (see below).
The Catwalk
I built my kitties some catwalks inside my house to provide them with a less boring environment.

The Catrun & Cat Enclosure
I keep my cats indoors but I built them some outdoor enclosures so they
can walk on grass, catch bugs and get some fresh air.

cat enclosure.
Windows Media Player Video Clips

If you don't have the latest version of the Windows Media Player you can get the free version by

On some connections, the video may be a bit jerky as it "buffers" while
streaming in the video. In that case you might let it completely
finish and then play it again.
