Perhaps it was too soon to welcome a new addition to the family. It's only been two weeks since my sweet Tina passed on, and I miss her dearly. But there is something about this little cat. She has already touched my heart after only a few days. I named her Shelley. She is almost 1 year old. She had a litter of three beautiful kittens about 3 months ago, and nursing them has taken a lot out of her. She weighs only 6.5 pounds and could easily gain 1 pound without being overweight. In comparison, my Tina weighed 6.8 pounds when she died, and she was awful thin. Shelley is eating well, and that is good. She was hiding a lot at first, but now she is starting to come out of her 'shell', so to speak. Mindy has been chasing her, and that scares her. Shelley is a very loving cat. She likes to talk to me with little chirps and guttural sounds and almost coos like a dove. She has little flecks of color on her chest. She grabbed one of Tina's old catnip pillows and played with it and kicked it. She also likes the feather wand that Tina played with. Saturday morning she startled me when I woke up. She sat upright by my feet and looked at me with those gentle, green eyes. She and Mindy have touched noses today, and when I sat down on the bed Mindy snuggled up to me on my left side, and then Shelley snuggled up to me on my right side. It was amazing. Shelley did real good at the vet and got a clean bill of health.

Hi, DannysMom, thank you so much for sharing with us how you, your precious Mindy and baby girl Shelley are doing, and for the wonderful picture of your precious Shelley taking refuge among your beloved Tina's pictures. I love your baby Shelley's black nose - -very distinctive from your beloved Tina's white blaise.
I trust all is going well minus the e-collar now. I can imagine the freedom she must be feeling now and she will probably want to make the most of it until she realizes she no longer has to be bothered with it. I hope today is treating you and your precious girls kindly, my friend, and that you and your precious fur family will have a very enjoyable weekend. I thank you for the blessing of your friendship, DannysMom, and of your precious girls. Please know you, your precious little Mindy and baby girl Shelley are in my thoughts and prayers, and that I always look forward to sharing your news, and your treasured memories of your beloved Danny and Tina. Peace and blessings, moon_beam -------------------- In heaven's perfect garden there is no grief or pain, and all of God's creation join the angels' sweet refrain.
The most blessed way I have of knowing God's comforting love and grace is to look into the eyes and heart of God's creatures' sweet angelic face. |
