I know she looks angry,

but she's not.

I don't think I've ever

seen her angry.

 

Nine

 

It's been nine years.

I can't believe it.

I can't believe all the major shifts

that have happened since

that sad faithful day your little

damaged heart stopped beating 

as I held you in my arms.

It may be melodramatic, but I felt

that you would only want me 

to be the one holding onto you as you let go.

It is a moment that will never leave me.

I read a story not too long ago

about a cat that was abused by a child

and rehomed because the parents felt it was

the cat's fault it was becoming 'dangerous'.

It struck home because that is what happened to you.

But it was the Father who hated you and abused you.

And you were very hostile to men.

You were hostile and temperamental for quite some time

after I got you and of course you were 6.

So you had experienced quite a bit of abusive behavior.

You tested me.

Boy how, did you ever!

But not once did I ever scold you.

I persevered.

 I fell in love with you from the first second,

and I needed to gain your trust.

I know I finally did,

and you repaid me greatly with your loyalty.

You had a wonderful life and you were the 

Queen of your kingdom.

But you were quite bossy and no matter what, you took

nothing from anyone.

Including me!

You kept us all in order.

That first morning when I walked into the house

after you had gone, 

it was so hard, 

because you always waited for me at

the back door. Not seeing you there was devastating.

And it still is. Because you are still everywhere in

this house.

Even though it's been 9 years, right at this moment

it feels like only yesterday.

I will grieve for you as long as I live,

my grief is the testament to the depth of my

love for you.

Our bond is rock solid.

Even though you are in a place I can't see.

I know you're waiting for me.

There are losses that rearrange the world.

Death that changes the way you see everything,

grief that tears down everything. Pain that 

transports you to a different universe, even when 

everyone else is thinking nothing 

has really changed.

~Megan Devine

I love you

to the 

Moon

and 

Back

....

again

and

again

and 

again.

Love always and forever,

Until I see you again...

Your ever faithful Mom

Halt Who Goes There!

I'm way up here,

and you're way down there Mom.

But I'm keeping an eye out for

anything that moves outside.

You may have snuck up on Annabelle & Jinx

earlier but I'm onto you!

 

Annabelle's antics

I like to just relax and dream on sunny days.

A mancat doing what a mancat does best!

 

Sly eyes

She's over there,

and at it again,

isn't she?

Can't a girl nap Mom in peace?

Zoomies

Occasionally Annabelle gets the zoomies at bedtime.

When she does she decides that Boo has to be a

target of her added exhilaration. The bad thing is Boo

is like a 90+ old lady and she doesn't want to be a part

of the zoomies anymore. 

So this happened one night when I was ready for bed

and Boo was curled up right beside.

Annabelle came right up to her curled like a crab

and had her ears back and her back arched.

I tried using the pillow to separate them.

But Annabelle was full of it, and not having it.

Boo moved to get off the bed with

Annabelle on her tail.

Except she planted her back nails in my foot

and ankle. 

OUCHIE.

So much for a quiet night.

Boo got away.

Abby has been the only one who will drink out of a cup

(that wasn't for her I will tell you)

An ordinary morning that I wish I had again.

 

10????

Oh don't tell me!

How can be it possibly be?

That you're 10!

Where did the time go?

I can't believe so many years have gone by so quickly.

Please tell me how to stop time?

The above photo was taken just a few days after she 

first arrived.

Her ruff hadn't filled in yet.

It's a happy birthday to my beautiful girl.

I love you Annabelle!

 

One In, One Out

Why is she out there.

and not me?

Well we made it through June and July

without too much activity in the Atlantic.

It's not been what was projected.

I know, especially towards late August

and into September, the Ocean will

become alive.

September 10th is the peak of the Hurricane

Season.

As much as I would like to think it will

remain calm, I can't feel that was about 

an 8 week span beginning in August and 

ending in October.

I'm so ready for cooler weather!

Oh yes Mr Jinx loved having his afternoons out of the catio.

 

Quiet Sunday

Sunday is always good 

for putting your paws

up and air and napping!

And it looks like

we made it through

July without any

Hurricanes!

YAY

but wait...
