who knew I would be so weepy over her? I am usually quite stoic, but am quite the opposite now.
thanks for the support, it feels good.
Ginger, my other cat, is just unconsolable - she keeps walking around the house meowing with a really loud voice. isn't quiet for more than a few minutes, unless she is on my lap, which she is right now. I guess she will settle down in a day or two.
fall chores are here with a vengenance. I didn't get anything done yesterday, but have a huge list for today:
- harvest the basil and make pesto, and dry some
- harvest the last eggplants and bake them for winter eggplant parmesan
- plant the garlic
= hit the feedstore for chicken feed and birdseed
-ran out of olive oil and cat food, go to the next town over for groceries
- figure out what to do with stripped window cranks on the coop since it is going to be in the mid 30's tonight and those windows should be closed
- harvest the last tomatoes, zukes, cabbage, onions, squash, peppers
leeks, potatoes, kale can stay where they are for now.

Wow! Mid 30's tonight? Dang.
We had a cat for many years, he was an adventurer and was often found locked up in some one's garage, roaming in their house or chomping a bunny in their yard.....he basically thought he owned the neighborhood (suburbia). He and the dog were great pals, played tag, wrestled and napped snuggled up together.
One day the cat went missing. A coyote had been seen in the neighborhood so we assume he found the cat. But my dog went into a pretty good depression..just mopped about for quite a while looking for and obviously missing his pal. It was very sad.
Poor Ginger will recover, it will just take some time.

I know just how you feel. We adopted Molly, a torby, when my daughter was 2. We had to put Molly to sleep when my daughter was 19, due to kidney failure. You know, I still call one of our other cats "molly" and sometimes I see her out of the corner of my eye. They do love us and will be there when we return to heaven too.

oh no. gosh thats a tough one. but go ahead and cry all you want.
my 18 year old died in my arms and it took me a year before i could say her name. she was my good and true friend thru most of my adult life. i was surprised at the insensitive responses i got from some folks... so if someone doesnt "get it", you just come right here and tell us all about it. we'll give you hugs and loves, you can bet on it.
it sounds like you found a good spot under that rose bush for her.
your other kitty will find her place in the new order of things. give her a couple days to settle down. until then just try and keep her distracted with other things. you will probably end up comforting each other.
