Ut-oh my Toes!!!! Izzit too soon?
Oooookay, kitties... tells me'n'da Sprout! if Meomie's gone absalootley
nutters, er whut. We fink so soon after loosin' Ms. Lucy and Mr.Lenny, she mite haf a loose brain in hur hed.... She went to the owt tuday and tuk da metalmonster fur exercise. Tuk a buncha junk owt tu charity... an came home wif more (dat's bad enuff)... but wen she came home... she *smelled* like sumpin. She smelled... like *KITTIES*, and it wuzent US kitties... she smelled like *MEEZER KITTIES*, but not Mr. Lenny and Ms. Lucy, diffrent. She wuz seein MEEZERS on da sly! My toesness, whut can dis be aboot? Panda ov snif-snif-snif-whoodat?-Toes..... MEOWMIE *ahem*... Meowmie notes: I am not generally impulsive, sentimental or rash... except with cats... Two days before Lucy died, my vet took custody of a 7-year old pair of Meezers whose person had just died days before. The family and friends couldn't keep them, and the old lady was a client of my TED's and TED Bonnie had adopted one of her cats years back, so they brought them to her. I couldn't think about it while Lucy was dying, but since she's been gone, I can't stop thinking about them, so I went to meet them today. I wonder that it's too soon... and I know I cannot replace Lenny and Lucy... but these two are *gorgeous* in their own right, even though right now they are anxious and stressed. It didn't slow the purring down one little bit. TED is as excellent with people as with cats, and wouldn't let me run off with them right there, but she's going to do a whole health workup on them and let me come back and see them. There are some signs of stress (understandably) and a couple of apparent cigarette burns (sadly... accidents, we're sure, but sad), and the two of them are four-wheel declawed, also sadly but their last person apparently had a bleeding disorder, and it's a long-done thing. I'd never declaw, but wouldn't turn them away because they were. Their names are "Meowie" and "Bluey", a seal-point male and blue-point female respectively. So, I have my doubts, my anxieties, medical exams and an unfortunately reluctant second opinion with whom I cohabitate to deal with still... but I can't stop thinking how *quiet* it is with only two cats chattering at me. I cried last night, not just because Lucy was gone but because Panda and Sprout were both in bed with Adam, and I realized that in 11 years, I had not been at home without at least one cat in the same room. Having more cats increases the odds that ONE of them will want to pay attention to me once in a while. So it seems I am doing some thinking of what is next in my life.... /MEOWMIE |

Tell Unca Cory tu, frum Meomie an' us - we'ze *KNOWS* dat noo Meezers is not Lenny and Lucy and dey is diffrent. Dis is Okay. Dey wud not come heer to replace Lenny and Lucy, but dey wud come heer in tribewt to da legacy whut wuz built by Meezers. Lenny and Lucy were hard-luck meezers, thought maybe "too old" to find a new home, left at a shelter for months.

I think as long as you know and understand right from the get-go that these kitties aren't Lucy and Lenny, and never will be carbon copies of them - and may never end up sleeping in your room no matter what you may *want* them to do (and it sounds to me like you DO understand that, FTR) - that you should consider taking them. You've had 4 cats. You can afford them. They need homes. You have a home that is in need of some extra kitty love. What's the problem (oh yeah, the other cats... well, as much as Onyx likes to *think* he hates Java, my mom tells me that they sleep in pretty close proximity to each other without any problems or fights or anything... but don't tell Onyx I told you that!)? |

When Miss DD (who I nefur met but has heard lots about) wen to da Bridge, mineown hoomins bringed home Fluffybutt - err, Tabitha Kitten - about a monf later to honor Miss DD's memory. Den a monf later mineown purrpaw saw me libing under a hedge and catched me and taked me home. So if'n dey didn't decide to get a new kitty or two to honor Miss DD's memory den neever me nor Fluffybutt would be libing here now. And that would be sadsad.

Shez furry glad, cuz ize gudgud friends wit Frieda an ize a happy kitty! Snowflake They wanted me to take her a couple of months earlier, but I didn't want to introduce a new cat in the household when Binkley was so sick. It seems they decided she was going to be mine since they kept her until I was able to take her. She was so socialized to other humans and animals from spending so much time at TEDs. She was originally a feral cat. |
