Fan wrote: So sorry RA. Sounds like you knew her well, and that you both took good advantage of your partnership and love. I lost 2 cats last year and I still miss both of them. My mom just lost a cat friend of 13 years. It is never easy, and yes, there is a hole left afterwards, even when a new cat comes into your life (as one will if you let it). However, like humans, we can do nothing but celebrate the time we had together, and to thank them for their companionship and love.
I have a siamese sitting on my lap as I write this, she adopted me soon after the passing of one of my furry friends last year, she knew I had room. Kindred spirits to be sure.
Thanks Fan! I am sorry that you and your Mom have lost your friends. We all dread having to part with them but they do give us wonderful memories to cherish, so it's all worth it.
I am still hearing phantom Emma noises around the house.
Funny that you should mention getting another cat. I have been waiting for another wild one to show up. I'm sure one will.
