These were our two cats ... Roxy, on the left was the mother of Tom, on the right. Roxy was a Persian / Tortoiseshell cross, but we do not know who Tom's father was. Tom had a front leg amputated as a kitten following an argument with a car, but he coped very well on his remaining 3 legs. We nicknamed him 'tripod'. They were 17 and 16 years old respectively when this photo was taken with my very first 2 Mpixel digital camera, and they finally died of natural old age at 20 and 19 having enjoyed a wonderful life with us.
