Abby,
I still see you sitting here.
Even though the kitchen has been remodeled.
I can see you sitting in this window sill.
Everytime I look out this window.
I see you.
c.Oct 2008
The window sills in the house are nearly at the floor.
The width of them is perfect for a kitty to sit and nap and get some good sunbeams.
This window was a favorite of not just Abby, but all the kitties in the house.
You can see lots of birdies and ebil squirrels, and occasionally introoders!
It's hard not to think of her when I stand in this exact spot and can nearly see her
sitting in the sunshine which she so loved.
***
I love you Abby
to the MOON
and BACK
again
and again
and
again.
We had that with the faucet with our orange cat, Iggy, because he loved drinking from them so much. It was very strange not to have to offer him water first.
ReplyDeleteThere is an apartment building on the land where the cat before me used to hunt... but my human can still see her there, stalking prey...
ReplyDeleteMommy thinks of Looppy every time she sees basil. Those were her favorite.
ReplyDeleteThat's how the best spots in the sunroom are here. Sometimes, the head peep still sees one of the cats who came before looking out the windows, watching the birds and the dog walkers.
ReplyDeleteWe had good, wide windowsills over at the Yellow House... here at the Swamp, not so much. Luckily, the house has storm windows and I open the windows in my office and bedroom for them so they can have room to spread out for a lovely nap!
ReplyDeleteShe is there with you in spirit...that is why the feeling is so strong.
ReplyDeleteWell at least that is what we think
Hugs Madi and Mom
It is impossible to forget the images we know and love. Eric used to sit on a small hedge beside the window where the cat tree is. I still look out of the window and expect to see him there waiting to be let in through the window.
ReplyDeleteDebra, I was working in the yard two days ago when I swore I felt and saw my angel Madison, walk up behind me. It was reassuring and very life affirming for me. Janet
ReplyDeleteGlad you all could come to the birthday pawty today. We are certain that Abby is here in spirit. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Misty May, Mauricio, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
Our windowsills are deep too and we love to sit on them and watch birds too (and the postman!). We also warn Mum about evil introoders.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Perfect place for a kitty cat.
ReplyDeleteAngel Abby, that does look like a great place to sit. Big hugs to the Mom and remember it is good to have all those memories.
ReplyDeleteWe do understand. Even though my late Brother Ivan has been gone for almost 4 years, my Dad still sees him every time he gets out of the shower biecause Ivan was always there waiting for him.
ReplyDeleteShe's there. Sure as there is a moon shining...she's there and is smiling her secret smile. Just for you.
ReplyDeletewe think if you look at the moon you will feel her looking back at you.
ReplyDeleteEmma and Buster
awww... I think you need some purrs that we are sending.
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to have memories of loved ones and this picture is very nice.
I also wanted to thank you for your wishes for Milou's birthday.
Lots of purrs
because they are always still there
ReplyDelete((((hugs))))
Purrs to you and your sweet Angel Abby.
ReplyDeleteOh Man... I know how you feel - right down to the remodeling of the kitchen. Our house looks totally different than it did when Alex was here... But still, everywhere I look I see him.
ReplyDeletesending big hugs
remember he and abby are playing together
There are times when Mom is in bed alone and she "feels" Mickey jumping on the bed.
ReplyDeletePurrs Tillie and Georgia,
Treasure,Tiger, JJ and Julie
That is a very nice spot for kitties to look outside.
ReplyDeleteAbby is still there and is looking down upon you and her brothers and sisters.
Love that picture of Abby sitting in the sun.
ReplyDeleteAbby will always be with you...in the good memories you have of her.
ReplyDeleteSometimes the mom thinks she sees one of her former kitties, and The Girl swears Minnie Pumpkin visited her after she left for the Bridge. So we believe our kitties visit us in various ways after they are gone, as thoughts, as shadows, as spirits they are still with us.
ReplyDeleteShe is there and everywhere with you, but you already know that. Blessings.
ReplyDeleteOur Mommy often thinks she sees the kitteh before me, (Kitteh Wink) just out of the corner of her eye.
ReplyDelete((HUGS))
Our friends and special ones are always in heart so always are.
