I believe it. I still miss my green-eyed boy (Barnabus RB last July). He would get on my pillow and stick his purring nose into my ear. That was a lovely way to wake up.

Smeagol and Marley literally put their (not so) little hineys right up to daddy's nose. That is *not* a lovely way to wake up (but it does make me giggle every day). If Smeagol decides to wake me first, he gets his (not so) little nose, right up to my eyelid, and starts purring (for all the world like he's saying, "mommy... can you *see* me purring?")

Uh....yeah; re the hiney: when the Snaggly flops his considerable
girth on my sleeping head with his breakfast
on his one-track mind, breathing obscured, my eyes pop open and first
conscious thought is, "I hope the front
end is thisaway" . No "little face in mine" Tak. This is one *big* cat
and he don't have a little face anyway.

I love that. Roxy does it from time to time. She's never woken me up
that way, but when we're cuddling she sticks her nose in my ear and purrs.
Really sweet.

I just keep thinking "she had a chance"- it was bad enough with
Fugazi and she was dying- wasn't suffering Kylie said I could have
taken her home for one last night- but would be soon so all I was
really doing was allowing her to exit before she did- she would have
died whatever I did but painfully if I had stayed my hand

Dunzi the vet reckoned a 25 -30% chance she'd have made it to the
emergency clinic and I am still thinking "30% that's 3 in 10" why
didn't I plead with that vet to give her a little more time to
stabilise when she went to sleep at the last moment she seemed to perk
up a little was the the drip/antibiotic etc kicking in? Maybe she
just needed to rest and would have sailed through it all and right now
she'd be here..it wasn't about money I can afford it the vet said
£600 at least and that these days is sod all (I am not saying I won
the lottery or something but I do have a few bob set aside)

Dave says he was here so he is a lot easier for him in some ways- he
thought she was gone at home and all that was left was her body

But I still think ..what if?
