Redford was playing hide and seek a bit too late in the evening, when he was surprised by a coyote in the summer
of 2001. We never found his body, although we searched the desert near our home. He was my sweet Bubba boy, although
he was a bad boy sometimes, like teaching Tyler to chase Jessie, or showing her how to climb a tree and then leaving her up
there!
Jason Humphrey Hugo
Redford's big brother, Jason, seen above on the left, passed away in July of 2004 at the ripe old age of 18.
Jason was known as the 16 Ton Cat, the Couch Cushion or Couch Potato Cat and also as the Cog, because he often seemed to be
more dog than cat.

Redford Raymond Oliver
He had a love/hate relationship with Tyler, but, considering everything he was a pretty good big brother to
her.
Amanda May Marguerite
Amanda, affectionately nicknamed Demanda by Don, was found under her favorite bottlebrush bush by a local dog
and had her neck broken in December of 2004. She was 16 years old at the time. It seems awful quiet around
here without her constant complaining, especially when we have chicken, her favorite treat. However, she is no doubt
enjoying her new, pain-free existence.
Jessica died at 19. After a lifetime of health, she suddenly began losing weight and then stopped eating much
more than a bite at a time. We took her to the vet as an emergency measure and learned that her abdomen was full
of tumors and that her time would be short. Rather than leave her suffering, as she was by this time having trouble
breathing as well, I held her and comforted her as the vet administered a shot and she slipped away. Jessie was such
a sweet natured cat. She loved cilantro, cantaloupe and her pink furry mousey. She was also the only cat
I ever had who would play 'fetch." She was always a petite little thing, in contrast to Jason, and she had a little chirrup
of a meow.
