I had a feral cat, but she was hit by a car (probably her time) Then i got another kitty, and he was bitten by a snake or spider.
Then I got 3 more, a leetle tiny kitteh, and 2 little twin brothers.
One of the twins had leukemia, but no, that didn't kill him; he swallowed a shitton of string... and they put him down during the operation 9No way they could've saved him)
So I hope my current 2 cats will survive...
btw, when my mom was a kid, she had like 20 cats, and 18 of them died horrible deaths. (e.g. shot by a bb gun, crawled into the engine of a car and was fried)
