It's the happiest day ever!!! I was leaving Covenant Hills, and there on the gate was a sign.
FOUND CAT
12/27/09
call
XXX-XXXX
There are not words to describe the feeling. I was too nervous to get my hopes up. I called the numbers on the sign at least 20 times in a two hour period. I left countless messages and waited and waited…… And finally somebody answered. They said, "Can you describe the cat?"
Oh yeah. "Huge, orange, fluffy, declawed, neutered male, disregards personal space."
She said, "I have your cat."
and then I cried some more.
We have him. He is here. He is safe. We are THRILLED and grateful!

Good-bye sweet kitty
We lost Tang last night and we are heartbroken. The last time he was seen by anyone of us was yesterday morning, basking in the sunshine in my window. My nightfall we were frantic. We have gone through the house with a fine tooth comb. We have scoured the neighborhood, both this one, and the old one. He is nowhere to be found.
By seven last night, I knew it was over. (Hunter wasn't convinced and is still looking) We live in the wilderness here in SoCal. Coyotes and Mountain Lions share our backyards. Pets don't stand a chance in this area. I am sad. Brandon is devastated. Hunter is still in denial.
Poor baby. All I can wish for now is that it was fast and painless. Effing circle of life!
Tang Benson
3-9-09 – 12-27-09
During his short life he loved us beyond measure.
He provided us hours of entertainment per day and hours of love. He was a lover. He didn't know boundaries at all. He got in our faces all the time. He was a kitty that wanted to smell your breath to see what you were eating.
Tang liked people food. Not just meat, he liked fruit and bread. Strange kitty!
He caught his first mouse just a few weeks ago. He walked a little taller that day.
Tang preferred lizards. In fact, he delivered one to me a month ago, but I wasn't around to take delivery, so he left it's bottom half on the couch for me to sit on. Sweet Kitty!
Tang marched to the beat of his own drum.
I will miss him.
Farewell fluffy orange friend. I love you.
