Another cat photo for this Throwback Thursday.
This is proof that we’ve shared our table with cats for an awful long time.
I believe this dates back to about 1985 or 1986. This was our #1 cat, who lived to be about 19 years old. She routinely took a spot on the table, usually right next to my plate. She tried to be patient and wait to be offered tidbits, but often a gray paw would shoot out to snatch a bit off my fork somewhere between plate and mouth.
She died in the summer of 1988, not long after we moved to Kaaawa. She was an indoor cat in Kaaawa, but did get to visit the yard a few times before she was gone. She taught us a lot about cats, that’s for sure.

Never had a cat join us at the table, but current creature has recently decided people food is pretty good….wants very little, but gets a bite or two in his dish. Have no idea of his age as he adopted us several years ago. Have had one cat live to be 19, one to 17 and another little dear until 21.
