Hello everyone,

Well, I know I did the right thing. Schmendrik had been ill, and acting strangely. He was at the vet 4 times in his last two weeks on earth. I just never realized what a help that little boy I raised from a 9 week old to almost 15 years was to me dealing with multiple disabilities. The chronic pain was the worst, but as you all know, felines offer unconditional love. Even days when the Cancer pain meds couldn't stop me from crying, that little angel would do his best to comfort me. I was always surprised the way family, friends, and neighbors would bring him gifts. I think that they saw what I didn't, that Schmendrik was the best thing that ever happened to me.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. Do any of the rest of you still find yourself crying after your friend has been gone just a few weeks? I know the last several days of grinding pain aren't a help, neither is threat of foreclosure, but some times I just can't help it. I see a favorite toy, or cat food in the pantry, and the hot tears just roll down my cheeks. In a way, there is a blessing in all of this. I had created a mythical place for a feline on a website. I called him Schmendrik the Wonder Llama, leader of a group of fiercely loyal humans. About two months ago, when I tried Acupuncture for the pain, I felt well enough to do more. I shot new digital photos, recorded purriing for the Oracle of Schmendrik, gave him his own blog, and his "Acolyte" tweeted for him on twitter. This may sound corny, but now I feel like some divine hand caused me to be so much more involved with him because he did not have much longer.

Other companions of felines have suggested that I think about a new kitten to help with the pain of loss. Just don't know if I'm ready for that.

Regards,
eagle
