Just A Cat

Hi love...thanks so much for your kind and compassionate comment. Pumpkin found me a few days before Halloween when we were putting up decorations in the nursing home. It was a rainy night and there was mewing outside the door. I brought him in hid him...fed him my chicken portion and the rest is history. 
He was a real character as are all animals but you know...they are more than that aren't they...they are travellers on your journey...connections to past events...part of our history and who we are. He would be the 8th fur child I've had to say goodbye to and it never gets easier does it. I've 2 other cats and a dog still...my family keeps changing and I hate change. His death though was so peaceful...I've had an extra year with him as he was on borrowed time due to a condition and so knew I'd have to make the final call at some point. I was right there loving him and whispering to him as he left. He knew he was loved but I miss my bed mate....many hugs x
