Hi Everyone!, From Babe's Mama Options

[boogi3]

Hi all,

It's been two months now since Babe had to leave me. I've been staying away from the boards because I just couldn't handle reading anything sad. I've been doing okay - as well as to be expected. I still have my ups and downs and miss her SO much. I miss the sound of her drinking her water, eating her food - just everything. Sometimes I hear her and see her.

I'm starting to look at kitties and hope I will know when the time is right for me to get another one. I have this irrational thought of it upsetting Babe if I get another cat - she never liked other animals........

I'd like to thank you all for your wonderful support during the long 8 months that Babe was dying. It is so nice to know that there are others out there that understand exactly how I was and still am feeling.

Very sincerely,
Sheri

Hi Sheri, I am glad to hear from you, that things are easing somewhat. These days I am housing a barn cat who doesn' t get along with any other. The whole family wants this house to remain catless, its their turn but at least they're letting the cat stay in because it's winter time. Yesterday he followed me downstairs to where Yukon would sleep, his basket is still there. I 'spoke' with Yukon, explained that what else can we do, this cat needs help and I felt that this was all right with Yukon, I really did feel it, he never would have accepted that when he was here, even if he would have been without his partner for over a year he wouln't have liked this other cat, no more than the rest of my family has any like for the little fellow. But Yukon seemed to agree, we have to help when and where we can. So it's okay....for now, for the future, we'll cross each bridge when we come to it. I like to feel as I pet the other cat that it is in hommage to my great cats of the past, they will never be replaced but the hole that they left is a little less deep with a little sorry soul in there to fill in a bit of the void.
