Heaven got a very special angel...

 Heaven got a very special angel on May 21st, 2024.  We lost our baby P.J..  We think he was around fifteen.  He made it almost a year after starting to have the spells he had.  I don't know why it has taken me so long to post this; I guess it just wasn't easy.  He was one of the best cats we'd ever had.  He was my little Pooh Bear.  We went ahead that day and made the decision, as he wasn't eating, drinking or using the litter box. That part seemed to happen fast.  We think he was starting to shut down, and we didn't want him to suffer.  It was hard, because he fussed some on the way and at the vets, and it broke my heart.  The vet and the tech told us we did the right thing.  We don't have emergency vets in our city anymore, so you can't take them in after hours. It went smoothly and very quickly; the vet said he was ready to go.  He had told us he was dehydrated, etc..  We buried him just a little ways a way from where Smokey is buried.  We buried him with some of his toys that he loved.  I still need to order him a marker.  I'm thinking I'll order one for Smokey too, as the marker that is at his spot doesn't have his name on it.  

I'll have to share in another post P.J.'s story and some of our memories.  He was so vocal and quite the character at times, but also so sweet!!!  I sometimes called him a gentle giant.

Have you met Nipsy???

 I cannot believe that I have not already told you about Nipsy!  She came to live with us this past year.  She had been our neighbor's grandkid's cat, but when they moved out, they did not take her with them, as they had to move to an apartment that doesn't take pets.  She had already been visiting us frequently, and would come inside and hang out with us.  She liked our male cat Leo, and would hang with him too.   She is so shiny and pretty, and has some Siamese in her.  You can tell it from her eyes (And her personality!).   Or should I say Purrsonality?  lol...  She has attitude for days, and she says " I do what I want to do!"  But she is very sweet and loving also, and a real joy to have in our lives!

Poems I wrote for my kitties...

 The Life Of A Cat

Squeaky meows,
Addicted to can food,
Begging for treats,
Lap up water,
Jump in the litter box,
Digging to China,
Warm lap to lay on,
Head boops and kitty kisses,
Kitty goes out, kitty comes in
Kitty goes out, kitty comes in,
Time for dinn dinn,
Wrestle together and play with toy Mousie,
Night time crazies,
Warm, cozy cuddles,
Sleepy kitty dreams,
My gifts from God.

Here is another poem:

Why is the hooman so slow with my food,

Reduced to eating dry,

Stare until they move,

Pop of the can,

Here I come.
