I miss my black Halloween kitty Cypress, first Halloween without her. The only cat I’ve ever known who wanted to snuggle with me, and me the only person she ever wanted to snuggle. Two new rescue kittens who don’t trust us yet because they have ringworm and I keep giving them baths and medicine, and one older cat who loves my partner and views me as a sort of mobile can opener. It’s not their fault, but it’s sure not the same.</p> <p>Feel better, Tbogg. And I’ll be thinking of all you guys and your furkids, especially donnah. Take care, it does get better, believe it or not. Just not much better for a long time, unfortunately.</p> Tears here too. I miss my black Halloween kitty Cypress, first Halloween without her.

Feel better, Tbogg. And I’ll be thinking of all you guys and your furkids, especially donnah. Take care, it does get better, believe it or not. Just not much better for a long time, unfortunately.

These kind of bonds don’t get formed just to be broken by a simple thing like death. I have no religious faith and deride the idea of floating up to spend eternity praising some wingnut’s idea of the creator. But do I believe that I’ll see again our kitteh who passed away at 19 yrs old, and that she’ll be all crotchety and snuffling and wanting to know why the food bowl is empty? You bet I do - that’s one afterlife certainty you can take to the bank!</p> Dude, you’ll snuggle Satchmo again: sometime, somewhere.

That being said, he’s having an especially rough week as I am off gallivanting in Hawaii with the L&T Casey and he is left with wrangling the not-so-snugly beasties on his own. It’s not a pretty job.

I’m sitting here with my new rescue kitty in my lap, knowing that at 10 years old, I won’t be blessed with her presence as long as I’d like to be either, but life marches on and we remember our friends, sometimes with smiless, sometimes with tears.
