our first cat, Tura Collyer

We took these 11 May 1998 in our house in New Providence, NJ with an HP auto-focus digital camera.

• sitting.
• lying on the floor, glaring with disdain toward the camera.

These were taken 3 May 2000.

• Looking at the camera.
• At the scratching post.
• At the scratching post, looking at the camera.

These pictures were taken in early November of 2000.

• Tura scratching, side and rear view,
• front view,
• upside down cat,
• while eating catnip;
• asleep on the couch next to me.

She was diagnosed with jaw cancer in November 2001. These pictures were taken in December of 2001.

• Tura at 12 pounds, asleep in her favourite chair
• awake
• suspicious
• head-on

Chemotherapy seemed to help but she lost the fight and had to be put to sleep 21 March 2002. We miss her.
