Poinsettia
Ever since I adopted Rusty (RB) , I stopped buying poinsettia for
Christmas. Now that he is gone, I bought my first pot of poinsettia in 15 years. I also stopped getting a Christmas since I got Rusty. But I don't think I'll get a tree this year. Too much trouble. Yesterday I gave away Rusty's scratching pad and one of his many brushes. Two weeks ago, I gave away his hooded litter box. Tonight I plan to give away the handout I got from a seminar of taking care of older cats. The decal on my front door saying cat inside please help in case of emergency was removed. |

I hope the things you are giving are going to people or cats that are special to you, or that are in need. And I hope that you will save a few things of Rusty's also. Think of it as a starter set.

Unless, of course, at some point a cat makes the decision for you. In the meantime, purrs and hugs. I know this is terribly painful. Joy |

The decal on my front door saying cat inside please help in case of emergency was removed. You are still hurting a lot, aren't you? Tweed Actually I am slowly getting better. I kept myself busy and this Christmas season is better (so far) than some previous ones. I tried to think of the positives, like no more cleaning up cat vomit. And Rusty is in a better place now. No more pain or discomfort for him. He won't feel the winter cold. He won't be awakened by me around midnight for the New Year countdown. And I won't worry about him when I have to be out of town. Talking about Rusty in this group is theraputic for me as I know people here understand the loss of a beloved cat. Winnie |
