Well, they are here.
Their foster mom brought them over last night. They are hiding behind the washer in the laundry room.  Tim warned before heading off to work that neither Hathor nor I are to drag the kitties out no matter how much we want to hold them and pet them and love them and squeeze them....   They are some kind of Chartreaux mix. They've got gorgeous copper eyes. They miss their foster mom. That makes me sad because I know what it is like to lose someone you love. But hopefully their kitty brains will forget soon. I haven't even gotten to hold them yet...  But I am sure that someday they will come out from behind the washer.  England, Australia, Canada, the USA -- it is nice that people from so many places love their pets so much.... Here, it is 18 hours til the new year -- here's to 2004! |

Tee hee -- we did lie in front of the washer!!!!!!! We took turns.
Now, I don't know where they are. Today, they came out exploring. Hathor was very very good (velma swatted at her once, so now she is afraid of them!)  They still won't let us touch them, but they have explored the house. And they have talked to us -- I love talking cats. They look very similar, but have very different voices. I think we are going to call them Velma and Daphne (bc Hathor reminds us of Scooby doo). We've taken some pics; but they won't post (probably too big!). I'll try to get tim to make them smaller. |

Jennifer,
lol Of cause you were laying infront of the washer lol....I also love talking cats Misty was a talkative one and you just knew what she was saying and she would answer you aswell when you spoke to her... With the kittens exploring thats good, getting to know where they are and it probably helps that theres two of them to do it together... Caroline... |

Well, the kitties are letting us touch them now without protest. And we can pick them up. They love to sit on the top of their cat tree... Still haven't gotten one to sit in my lap though.... It'll happen (I hope).
Now, I'll try to post some pics.... |

O how cute Jennifer, I can just imagine them,
I said to Hubby the other night, that I had thought about a kitten, what was his views, and he said it was up to me he didn't mind, but my heart isn't in it just yet and don't know if it will ever be... I miss Misty more when I try and get the Kitten to sit and cuddle up to me but he doesn't he and Tigger go to the kids more  Mind you I'm about to have a baby, due the 20th of Feb #4 so I guess I'll have a baby to cuddle heaps for a while and see how I go...No piccies <_< I can't wait to see them.... Caroline..xx |

Well, I printed a bunch of pics for my calendar, and the calendar pages today. On the front I have everyones dob and dod... and a message to them. I think Lec is in more photos than Saki and Frey and I feel a tad bit guilty about that but not too much, because... because 1) Lec was sitting in my lap, so sick, crying and wanting comfort, so choosing the pics is something we did together a few days before she passed and bc 2) lec was always the most photogenic one (weird that even animals can be photogenic...
)It feels nice. I can't explain it. I made two copies, one to keep at home and one to keep at work. But it feels like I am honoring them in a way that feels right. It feels like maybe they will always be with me. I don't know -- it just feels right. None of the photos are of our new babies... I also worked on Lec's collage frame. I'd thought about doing it when I did Saki and Freyja's, after they passed, but that felt wrong, and I figured I would get some comfort doing Lec's when the time came. And it does... The whole time I worked at the table working on the calendar and frame, Daphne, one of the new kitties, crawled all over me, the pics, the scissors, etc.  It was cute and irritating and mostly cute all at once. Last night, Daphne slept on my chest and velma on my tum. That felt nice, too.

It's so odd that you say that, Sue.
Last night as I was vegging on the couch, I received this overwhelming sense of peace. I felt like I was with them (not like they were here with me). When they first died, it felt as if my soul had been ripped, and a piece was missing. And it HURT. But this was different. It was like that piece they took was at the bridge WITH them already, snuggling and playing-- they weren't alone or scared, bc I am still with them. It was a very safe, comforting, peaceful feeling. And my soul was not torn in half when they went, but doubled so that it could go with them. It was a nice feeling... |

And here is a pic of Hathor puppy, lying on the back of the sofa. It was taken this fall, but this is still her favorite place to perch.

Hi, I don't really know how this topic works. I was starting to read the posts from the beginning and I came across a poem....I think it was the 3rd reply or so on the first page....there was a part that said...
"Only stay wtih me tilll the end" "And hold me firm and speak to me" "Until my eyes no longer see" This really rocked me....I feel enormous guilt right now... I know that putting Kiwi to sleep was the 2nd hardest thing I've had to do, the first was making the decision to take my dad of life support...but I alway swore up and down that if I had to put my animals to sleep, I would hold them and stay with them until the end...I wanted them to be the last thing I saw and I wanted to be there until the end....WELL...that did not happen, I chickened out, when I saw the needle I stopped them and said I could not stay for this please get me when it's over....NOW I FEEL VERY GUILTY...I felt guilty anyways but this brought it back...I wonder if Kiwi is mad at me for not staying in the room, was he scared, does he feel betrayed....? I originally went to school to be a Vet and when I saw all the horrible things happening I could not handle it...I put many animals to sleep so I thought I could handle being with my own cat but alas I could not...I feel like I let him down. Help I feel so guilty....I'm going to try and put up a picture of him...I'm used to a mac and all I have is my PC right now...it seems like I forgot how to use it..the only pic I have of him that I can use on my PC is from my cell phone, nothing else is hooked up to my PC...I'll try to send a pic...he was so handsome |

Okay well that is a pic of Kiwi on Christmas, I was messing around with my phone and it's up close, obviously, but I don't have my scanner hooked up to this computer...so this will have to do for now.

Kiwi could never be mad with you, and did you know that animals would normally leave the pack and go off to die on their own. My Sadie tried to do just that lying at the bottom of the garden looking back at the house, which was the furthest she could get from the ‘pack’
Your separation from her was merely seconds before her spirit found you again. Put yourself in both Kiwi’s and your dad’s position and how would you feel towards them if they had done these things for you. The spirit world is a wonderful place and once you have dealt with your guilt I'm sure you will feel the love they are sending you to help heal you from your pain. I like you went through every reason to feel guilty and punish myself and in the end all I could do was to forgive myself, I think my last posting in Rest in peace tells how I came about this. STAMERA is the Angel of FORGIVENESS and you should call on her three times when you need her most to help you release some of your pain and begin to find peace with yourself. You will find your own way through this, I have turned to Spiritualism and actually today is the first day that I will be learning healing. I've come a long way since March when I had Jude put to sleep and maybe it was in my cards to do just that in order for me to be where I am today. I wish you well and wish I could better let you know that you are a loving a kind person for what you did and have no reason to feel so guilty. God Bless Love Sue -------------------- Jude & Sadie, too well loved to be forgotten
