I will too, now my new computer has given me accesss to Usenet again.

I think I told you all about losing Boyfriend to cancer. I wept for
weeks.Â* I swore I'd never have another cat to break my heart like that.
But..the house was so empty.Â* So I got two exotic shorthair girls,
litter sisters, ex-show cats, 6 years old.Â* Their first home from the
breeder broke down due their child developing an allergy to them, they
do shed a lot. So then I got them.
They are indoor cats, which I've never had before. I thought I might be
able to let them out, but soon realised it would be a bad idea, because
the best way I can describe them is a heroine in a 50's Miss Marple
mystery, not quite of this world.
Nelli is aÂ* red lynx point, Garfie is described as red on her pedigree,
I call her a ginger tabby.Â* They squabble quite a lot over who gets to
sit on mummy's knee.

Totally understand, Tina.

It was unbearable when I lost my Big Mooch in May 2017.Â* His sister,
Smoochie Mew died in Sept of 2012.Â* To this day not a day passes I don't
think about/mourn them.Â* They were my world.

But I thought my purpose was to help cats, and within a month I found my
two boys, then 8 year old Pirate and 7 yo Eddy.Â* Less than 6 months
later came two kittens EJ and Bebe.

It's hard with 4 cats. Costs are high. Vet bills are higher.Â* And a lot
of work.Â* And I remember Mooch and Smoochie every day, but I wouldn't
give up my current kitties and am so glad I happened upon them and the
kittens found me.

They obviously need you, and I think maybe you need them too. They
aren't replacing your previous cats, but they can help fill the hole
left by their absence.
