My new cats are settling in. My son brought them with him when he moved in with me and my husband, and we're getting to know each other. One is Rose, a solid black cat, about a year old, who has adopted my husband as her primary sleeping place. We call her Rose because she is beautiful with pointy places. The other is Pangur Ban, a solid white cat (except for a small patch of cream tabby marking on his head). Pangur is about 6 months old and is a holy terror around the house (big surprise at that age). Pangur Ban is named after a very early century Irish poem about a white cat.

Does anyone know what color Pangur Ban would be considered? He is white with hazel eyes and a faded cream tabby marking only on his head. Would this be "cream tabby with white?" I welcome any ideas!

I celebrated Christmas Day without my Audrey for the third year this year. I've had cats all my life, and I've seen them pass and mourned them, but never like this one. Audrey was a beautiful black and white little cat who died of lymphoma at nine years old. I had to put her down on Christmas morning. The whole event still seems like it happened yesterday. Her picture is still on my desktop, and I see her every day, but I guess Christmastime is just really hard on me. My son lives with my husband and me, and we have come to love his young cats, but the hole in my heart for Audrey is still there. I guess I just miss you, dearest star.

I miss you, beautiful star
Your place beside me is empty
The sun shines in your favorite window
But you no longer sleep there
I look for you
I forget that you are gone
I’m told you no longer suffer
That you wait at the Rainbow Bridge
But still I miss you
And my heart knows no real solace
I find your toys still
I remember how you loved them
I’ve found a lost whisker or two
And I save them like precious gems
I love you so
Shine on, beautiful star, shine on.

I thought I'd include a picture of my new Missy Blue. Hope I do this right!

Hi, all,
I posted to the death & dying portion of this forum earlier this month, and again tonight. I thought I might explain a little about why it took me so long to get back to you kind folks.

We lost our dearest Audrey on Dec. 25th and couldn't stand the empty house. It didn't take me and my husband long to begin seeking a new cat, not to fill Audrey's spot but to make a new one. We searched online at rescue sites and finally settled on the Humane Society. We went with one cat in mind, and ended up with a different cat entirely. Her name is Missy Blue - the shelter named her that because she looks like a Russian Blue. We're pretty sure she's not pure Russian Blue, but she does have the eyes for it.

Well, we took her to her first vet's visit the next day and she had a high fever. Her spay site was badly infected under the sutures, and she had also acquired a respiratory infection from the shelter. The vet even asked us if we wanted to take her back and get another cat, considering the long road we would have ahead administering antibiotics, multiple vet visits, etc. We never considered it. We buy a defective pair of shoes, we take them back. There's no such thing as a "defective" cat, in our opinion. In the days that have followed we were at the vet every other day for subcutaneous fluids (she was not eating or drinking) and cleaning of the spay incision, which opened up. The vet finally said that he could do no more - that the Humane Society was our only option. We took Missy back there only after being reassured that they would return her to us once the second surgery was over. It was a long drive and a long overnight wait, but we took our still very ill cat home, 'again.' Her respiratory infection was so severe that we had to put her in a steamed-up bathroom to help her breathe, about three times a night. We'd wake to her heavy wheezing, and back to the bathroom we'd go.

We heard her first "meow" just five days ago, when we finally got her interested in a little canned food: she sounded like a squeaky door. Weeks with no sound except wheezing replaced by squeaky door - we were elated.

Our new companion, still named Missy, about 2 years old, looks like she's going to make it. I didn't think that having a new cat would help the grief for Audrey, but she has. Partly it's just her presence - she's not timid about affection - partly it's our triumph over odds with this beautiful cat. What a roller coaster ride this has been!

Thanks for reading!
