Good-bye To Another Beloved Friend


Kitty: March ?, 1990 - August 3, 2006

Picture: Kitty (black cat) and sister Tidy. Kitty always blinked for every picture I ever took of her! She is a really cute cat with yellow eyes and medium length fur that was always extra smooth.

Kitty died today. I had an appointment to have Kitty checked out since I have been concerned about her. Right as I set her on the examining table, she died. I will never know what ailed her but I am positive she is glad to be with Tidy now.

As a kitten, Kitty picked me out. My roommate got her and her real sister (not Tidy-another all black cat) from somebody she knew. I went with her to pick up the 2 kittens all those years ago. Well, Kitty never bonded with my friend, her real owner. Kitty followed me around all the time and slept on me every night. When I moved out of my friend's house she gave me Kitty and her sister.

About a year later, the young cats were outside playing. When I went out to check on them I saw Kitty's sister sitting in the window of some old lady's house. I already had 5 cats at that time (Little Cat, Tidy, Kitty, Kitty's real sisiter, and a young Siamese boy mamed Puff) so I just let the lady keep Kitty's sister since it was a good home. Kitty stayed with me.

I am in some shock and disbelief from losing 2 great animal friends in one month (and the hamster). It's very depressing and there's a big hole in my heart as well as a big empty apartment filled with their stuff. I know I will see them on the other side when my time comes but it's still heart-breaking. The newly adopted Alice will be an only cat from now on.

I am so very sorry to hear of your loss, so close to losing your other friend. This must be such a trying time for you. The animals in your life are so fortunate to have encountered such a warm and caring person. Thank you for being such an excellent ambassador to them and model example for us humans in the way you display your concern and care for them. You are being prayed for, and cared for…

So sorry to hear about Kitty, to lose both cats so close together must be very difficult. It sounds like Kitty and Tidy were good mates for a long time.
I really believe cats do choose thier owners, they don't really care who they 'should' belong to at all.
I suppose thats one of the best things about cats, they don't feign affection for people.
I still get upset when I think of my big old cat Buster who died about 12 years ago. He was like my shadow. I can only be glad he did choose me.
I just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you at the moment and sending a hug

Dear Heavenabove;

I miss you, I hope you are doing well and enjoying the summer. I was going to do my August animal contest but I think Dave is the only one that will guess if you aren’t around; all my other guests are rather shy on Creation, although my hits are higher than ever.

Anyways I have given you a different award and you should come and get it from my Life blog under the article “Awards…for me…?”

I think of you often.

Take care my friend.
