Bad morning

My aching rib made sleep difficult through the night, I tried to touch
Lyle
this morning (first attemp in a week) and he ran away crying for his
brother and then I see this on the way to work: One cat huddles under a
car and clearly a littermate dead in the road. That was bad enough but
after I passed I saw the cat under the car go out to the other cat trying
to get it to respond. It's 5:45 when I get into my office and I am
already
in a rotten mood.

Try not to think about it too much. It is rare that I see a cat killed by
traffic on my commute to work, maybe two in 17 years but it always upsets
me.
I used to think about the uneaten breakfast and the owners searching.
I had to stop doing that.
Just concentrate on your new boys.

without sharing it with others.


Of course you should. We can share the burden. Purrs for both the killed
and the surviving cat.

Nobody killed the cat on purpose though did they ?

You can never be sure, sadly some people do just that.

I was very sad for you when Baggy lost Milo too.

I often think about Milo, it's hard to believe I lost him 4½ years ago.
:-( Baggy sometimes trys to get Shadow to play with him, Shadow just looks
confused.

Aw, I hope Shadow learns to play! At least it doesn't sound like he is
aggressive towards Baggy.

What happened to Milo was a huge shock. Hard to believe it's been so long.

That's so sad! Poor little surviving kitty! I'm sure you'll be
giving your pair lots of cuddles (once they allow it).


You know I thought of _them_ right away.
