Marina, thank you for your note. I so remember your stories and pages about Frank and Nikki, and how fearful I was knowing that the same ordeal was lying in wait for my own self. But I will tell you now, that were it not for your stories, I would not have spent the intervening time preparing myself and my daughter for the inevitable, and to make it the least traumatic experience we could. So we thank you and Frank and Nikki for that, especially from the bottom of mine and little boycat Glorio's broken heart. I'm so glad my ramblings helped someone. Purrs for you and poor little Glorio. Mir was so sweet when the vet was here to release Frank from his pain. She stuck close to him, and when he went under from the sedative, she lay down alongside him, pressed up right to him. She missed him after he was gone, though they hadn't seemed that close when he was still alive. Give Glorio a skritch from me. Hope he forgets Lithien soon. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. |

It's constantly surprising when they do things like this. How long did you have Mir when Frank passed away? (I'm sure you've posted that info many times, but at the moment I can't remember.) -- Joyce ^..^ (To email me, remove the X's from my user name.) |

She came to me in March 2005 and Frank passed away in December. -- Marina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki. I don't know how long it took Luthien to forget about Zildjian, who died in 2004, but she was so traumatized that she ran away for about 5 weeks or so, and came back only to die, weighing six pounds (used to be 12). They had lived together for 12 years. Somehow we got her back, and she lived solo with no other cat for two years before we got Glorio. But he has been with us for two and a half years now, so he won't forget her very quickly either, especially since she it was who took his mother's place after whatever horrendous experience left him homeless on the streets at the age of 6 weeks. He has been mopey and sad all week, and not leaving my side for more than a moment. Plus he isn't feeling well as I took him to TED on Monday and yes, whew, he is FLV-negative (we were worried about exposure to a local ragtag stray), I really needed to know that this week, and so now he is vaccinated and feeling down both physically as well as emotionally. Sneezing in my face every time I pick him up poor guy. We're looking for things to pick up in a day or two. And I will probably have to think about a companion for him sooner than later since he is young and so clearly lonely already. I'm not sure I'm emotionally up to it yet, but it's been a life-long habit of mine to attend to those of my household before attending to myself. To a fault, sometimes, I think. --tension |
