I grew up in a semi-rural area where cats were a wonderful fact of life. Cayne was my first "adult" cat. He came to live with me from a shelter after I finished university and started living on my own. He immediately won my heart. |
| Cayne got his name after considerable thought. It was derived from a commercial at the time (1973) about a cleanser nicknamed the 'white tornado'. A very active kitten we decided he was the 'feline hurricane' - and the 'cane' became CAYNE! |

|
As you can see, Cayne's most favorite position was prone - usually with eyes closed. He had no shame and once posed as the centerfold for "PlayCat". Being outside was preferable whenever possible. |
| Although an all-white puss, Cayne had no problems with his hearing. He was also fastidious and kept his coat bright and white most of the time without the aid of Tide! |  |
 |
Cayne's penchant for sun-bathing ultimately proved to be his downfall. He developed cancerous ear-tips in later life and although surgery helped, it did eventually spread and claimed him in his 16th year. Pet owners - use sun block! |
| By the time Cayne left this earth, he had lived most of his 9 lives to their fullest. Here he enjoys a car from the inside, but once, as a young cat, he was nearly destroyed by one after he crawled up inside its engine. A lucky cat, he survived and went on to enjoy many more misadventures. |

I still love and miss you, buddy! |
