The further and continuing adventures of the girl who sat in the back of your homeroom, reading and daydreaming.

Another Day
This day dawns emptier than yesterday -- there should be a happy, chubby cat greeting me in the dining room and instead, her favorite chair waits, empty, for a cat-child who'll never be back. It ain't right.
Last I looked something like 140 people had stopped by to write their personal condolences to Tam. Mittens might not have known them personally, but that cat's managed to affect a whole bunch of people.
I'm sorry that she's gone, ma'am. I can only hope that the happy memories that she's left behind are some consolation. I'm not sure she's take a hug from an ugly squat troll like me, but give Tam an extra one from everybody who has tried to ease your loss.

... swishing her fluffy tail. No, it ain't right.
ReplyDeleteRoberta.... Give Tam a hug from me, and tell her......
ReplyDeleteAh hell. Just give her a hug.
I hope Barkley, in all his "pet me pet me pet me" annoyance offers her a wee bit of comfort today.
ReplyDeleteAnd you as well, for the residents of our house become family in every way.

Take care.
I saved a copy of the photo to my computer and am using it as my Desktop. I just have to go in and Photoshop out her eye schmutz.
