Man has always been fascinated with those who have come before.  The mysteries of the ancients capture the imagination and show us new ways to live, think, believe, and explore. Through the experiences of older generations, we learn what it means to live on this earth, to call this place our home. It was our pleasure then, when Real Life Lady showed us the Cats Who Came Before, Ben and Callie. While we at Cat Texts may have fun with the images we are sent, we also realize that these cats bring joy to their “owners”.  And so, in simple memoriam, we present these images to you, both of Ben and Callie, who are the Cats Who Came Before, and who, for perhaps a brief time in this world, were, and indeed still are, reminders of the good and joy in the world.
