Boo Boo is large and 9 years old. His mother, Bingo, was half his size all her life, and died of breast cancer from having so many kittens (she had a tumor). She also mothered Gracie (who was sickly for her whole life), Gumpy (who had issues as a kitten but was healthy as an adult, and didn't die with us - she ran away while we were on a vacation), my dad's kitties Minnie and Chloe (who used to play with Boo Boo when they were kittens and were given to my aunt, who gave them to my dad years later), and many others. I also currently have Carlos, who randomly appeared at a neighbor's house and the neighbors thought it was a grand idea to bring him here since we are the cat people apparently. And then there's Finnegan, my doggy, English springer spaniel, one year old.
