It's always awful to lose one of my furry friends, but it feels pretty good when I stop grieving enough to treasure my memories.
Being a cat person means I absolutely never wanted to be a vampire doomed to outlive those I love.

Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?
Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
So very sorry, WS. From reading your posts, it is clear that you gave him a wonderful kitty life and I hope that gives you some comfort.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, no, Windsparrow! I'm so sorry.

The status is NOT quo.
My heart goes out to you both. It's so hard.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm sorry, WS.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm so sorry, Windsparrow.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thank you all so much. We were so blessed to have Sammie as part of our family.
Love never dies. It hurts right now, but it isn't gone from our lives.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My condolences, WS. We never get enough time with them.

They give us so much love, but they just can't stay. I thought maybe the hardest thing to do would be lying down to sleep without Sammie, because she usually came up to bed with me and would snuggle and purr next to me. But I am finding that when I do go to bed, I think about all that love and smile.

Our wings are not tired.
That's beautiful, Andi. May the knowledge that you gave her such a good life, filled with an abundance of love, comfort you now.
My DH has declared me a horrible cat mom. Meanwhile, I am laughing hysterically. Yesterday when I went out in my front yard to watch the sunset, as is my custom, I opened the back sliding doors so that the dog could go in and out as she pleased since I had just fed them all. After sunset I came back in and closed the back doors so the mosquitoes wouldn't come in and eat me up. I proceeded to do this and that, then made dinner for us. We ate then settled in to watch some tv and one of us remarked that it was odd that the cats weren't joining us for snuggles. Hmm, you know I thought it really odd that they weren't bugging me when I ate scallops for dinner. Ooops! They must have gone outside. We go to the back sliders and they are both sitting there staring at us. They bounded back inside and I gave them treats.
They have little to no interest in going outside so I didn't think anything of it when I closed the door. Usually they either lie right inside the door looking out, or if they go out it isn't far. Maybe a squirrel attracted their attention or something.
Anyway, this morning DH still says I am a terrible mom and I still find it hysterical. And I have the door open today too! Ms Scully goes out and cats around, but Mr Mulder has zero interest. He will stand at the open door and meow at her to come home.
