Potjie thanks
Thank you to everyone on RPCA for your messages of support and
kindness. I've directed Dad to RPCA so that he can read them for himself (although cannot post, for some reason). He says "Thanks for that. It's so very kind of them. I've had lots of phone calls and emails as the news spread, including some very sweet ones from children of friends." He will need a month or three to recover and to regain his equilibrium, so sometime in February or March I'll go to visit him and we'll go looking for a new companion for him. He, like many of us, feels incomplete without a feline companion. He has had cats for most of his life. As Gandalf wisely quotes in his signature file: life without cats would be only marginally worth living. In the mean time, if anyone in the greater Melbourne area (or near Korumburra) knows of an adult (1+ years), affectionate, healthy, dog-tolerant, visitor-friendly feline in need of a good (no, excellent) home, please email me. Thank you again. Your caring and kind words have helped an old man start to heal his grieving heart. Tish |

Thank you again. Your caring and kind words have helped an old man start to heal his grieving heart. Tish I am glad to hear he is already planning to get another cat.....in time. I didn't want to be forward and suggest this, because everyone needs to deal with the loss of their beloved furry companion in their own way. But, as you likely know, the elderly benefit greatly from having a pet. I expect the statistics are about the same for anyone living alone, who has a pet, vs. not having a pet. I too live alone, with only one cat. Kenzie won't let me get another one, which is OK. But I dread the day she is gone, and how I'll have to deal with life without a constant furry companion to brighten my days. And thank you for the compliment. That part of my sig line I wrote many, many years ago. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie. How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein Life is very difficult. Once you understand that, life becomes easier. - |

Tish Tish,l I have been away, and it is taking me forever to catch up-- but I was so sad to hear about Potjie, who was so charming, sweet and adorable-- seemed to be the perfect soulmate for your dad. We are purring for him. Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War |
