.Norm authored a book called "When Cats Go Wrong" and contains a CD with him singing other cat themed tunes. If you get me an address I will be pleased to send it to you.

We're not sure where Norm went ,up or down, but wherever ,it really doesn't matter as he has friends in both places.

NORM HACKING REMEMBERED

I knew Norm Hacking (deceased) and he owned that Orange cat of which he sang.

He had an unusual affinity for cats

It was a pleasant yet sad experience hearing him sing one of his many, many

colourful tunes.Norm was a prolific song writer and extraordinary entertainer.

RIP

[ironkittenz]

I'm sorry to hear about Norm's passing. It's a fantastic song and his obvious love for his cat is very touching. I hope they are together again now.

[fruglescot]

Norm was an addicted romantic and had a special interest in cats who I suppose because of their nonjudgemental nature offered him unrelenting love and affection.

(Norm Hacking has an information bio on Wkipedia)

Obviously, you had a strong connection to your own cat 'Zimba' and wanted to do something special to honour his devotion. It''s a wonderful effort and Norm's tune was an appropriate backdrop

(to be cont'd)

[lyosalfars]

magnificent Zimba!!!

[Smupp]

orange cats <3 my cat is white and orange norwegian too :)

[iuliakitty]

is it only because they dont drink water as they should? i heard that it can be from other reasons too..

[PunkGodess00]

[drutt1985]

[ironkittenz]

The song is called "Orange Cats" and is written and sung by Norm Hacking.

[desperados01100]

[tigertagning]

poor Zimba, my cat died to, and my second cat was giving away from me to an old lady. But i got a norsk skogskatt at home, Smilla!

[Mizzpettyfer]

That made me cry it made me remember my cats tat died

[iuliakitty]

i had a norveagian cat named booboo:( i am very sad in tlakin about him because he died 6 month ago for the same reason

[Mizzpettyfer]

tHAT MADE ME CRY

[capdret]

My cat is almost 18 years and i never heard abaut that.

[ironkittenz]

Zimba died of massive kidney failure at age (approximately) 8 years. It's a common problem for cats, and I encourage all cat owners to do what you can to get your kitties to drink lots of water throughout their lives.

I read that cats like to feel that they have "found" their water, so they like it better when it is placed somewhere away from their food. This has seemed to work well with my two kitties back in Australia who have always loved their water and are now turning 13 years old.

My cat is almost 18 years and i never heard abaut that.

sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooo

sad i have a Norwegian forest cat. message me

[sarahnipple]

That made me cry. I had an orange nfc. His name was Pinky. I only had him for 7 years before he disappeared one day. It took me 3 years to get another cat. That made me sad:-(

[justregis]

I have a cat almost the same as Zimba was :)

those norwegian forest cats are sooo cute and furry :D

[CHARLOTTE819]

im so sorry. zimba looked extremely beatiful. xx made me cry a little bit

[zoda700]

what a cutie

[Heyde1979]

I very sorry about the loss your cat

[FergusonTO35]

Yeah, I lost my own orange kitty in 1998 after spending 15 years of my life with him. I am adopting a Ragdoll kitten in a few weeks and am looking forward to finally being a kitty daddy again. Thanks for sharing that with us, God bless you.

[annmagruder]

ooh. That made me cry. That was so beautiful... now I miss my orange kitty, too.

[slippinapex]

I have a 7 year old tabby that I'm convinced must have a significant degree of Norwegian forest in her. Looks almost like your Sid. Can imagine how you must feel, having such a wonderful friend for over 20 years.

[zimhym]

It's very sad losing a so loved being, but the most important thing are the moments we spent with them, making our and their lives better.

[ironkittenz]

Thanks for your comments. It's so nice to hear from other cat-lovers who can relate. :o)

[philfx]

What a brilliant tribute to a loved cat. We all forget that one day our bundles of joy will be assending to the great cat santuary in the sky and this is a very appropriate way of remembering them.

[roncoop2000]

Ahhhh, I lost mine about 6 months ago. Makes me wish I could get another. But work is in limbo now, don't know where I'll be. So for now, I watch others on the internet... :(
