Sweet Little Chan Passed Away Last Friday..... Options

[JanEeee]

My darling kitten moved on to another experience early last Friday. She was such a sparkling personality, embracing life and so full of joy, it seems impossible that she is gone. She went quickly, so unexpectedly, only 5 months old.

I think one of the hardest things is that I was out of town the entire time she was sick. I could only manage a few phone calls, mostly it was by email that I learned of her serious condition. She left before I could return home.

Perhaps it was a blessing of sorts not to have to see her so frail and thin, so very sick. I feel very lucky that my cat care person did such a great job.

So hard to be back home without that bouncy little bundle of love, she would perch on my shoulder and refuse to switch to the usual lap sitting. I think she thought she was part parrot!

Miss her miss her miss her.

Lost another dear cat friend in 2008, Molly Malone, and then Mr X in 2009. Very hard to have to go through this again.

Christmas is just a short time away, still, I have no tree and have sent no cards. I want to try and do these things but it is somehow harder than it should be, more difficult to find the cheer in the season, the joy and goodwill.

I have put up a few advent calendars, but so far, that is it. I think this year will be very quiet.

I did find something in the season to make me smile. I bought some 'Rudolph' socks, ones with the ribbed bottoms, so they are more slipper than sock. These also had bells on them and poor Mr Kitty Zouzou went dashing out of the room at the first sound of jingle-jingle-jingle creeping up on him! Too funny. So glad to have my plump big guy Zouzou and my wiry wiley wacky Tedly-Bear, such sweethearts they are.

Hope everyone is doing well and celebrating with sweet memories of their much loved friends.
