Rest well, Itty Bitty Stella Kitty
Stella passed this past Wednesday, at 4:30. She was 21. She had melted away to almost nothing, poor little thing.
I’ll write more when it’s not so fresh.

Stella over the weekend
My youngest sister watched my kitties over the weekend. She was great: regular visits and pettings for the kitties. Stella didn’t eat her wet food at all. She also didn’t touch one of the places where I put out dry food in the kitchen. My sister was pretty worried about Stella. Tonight I gave Stella…
Ambush at Home
Poor kitty spent the weekend at the vet’s. He perked up a little when I came to pick him up. He had been huddling in the back of his “apartment” at the vet’s. He had a towel to sleep on and plenty of space. He was shaking. The vet helped me give him the evening…
Nastiness on the teeth
Basette is back from the vet’s and has had her teeth cleaned. Apparently, they were really nasty. Not surprising, considering she has never had her teeth cleaned (bad Mommy!). I actually never knew cats were supposed to have regular dental cleanings until recently. Basette grew up as a vicious mouser in the barn. She lost…
Ambush on the Upbeat
This past weekend I drove to NC to visit my sister for her birthday. Whenever I travel, I have to put Ambush, the White Wonder Cat(tm), into the kennel so he can receive his insulin shots. After my last trip to Mom’s in late January, the vet said that Ambush was doing well. His glucose…
Meeting kitties at Cat Angels
I haven’t been able to sleep well. I keep expecting to see Kiesha jump up on my bed. I keep seeing her shadow in the house. I started looking at some of the web sites for local no-kill cat rescues. I found called Cat Angels. They had two tortieshell kitties on their web site that…
Hitting, running…
It hasn’t really hit me that Basette won’t be back. On an intellectual level, I know that she won’t be back; that she is gone forever to visit only in memories. On an emotional level, it’s very hard to accept. No, not hard to accept. It is hard to express the grief. How do you…

Her time here was long, and she was a lovely companion for a very long time. I know it’s still difficult, even when you knew that the time would come. This has been a very difficult year for you, between Stella and Ambush–know that you’re in my thoughts.
Thank you. Stella was an amazing little kitty who was blessed with a long life and 95% function right up to the end (except for the last 2 days of her life). I was really lucky to have her.
I’ll post about what actually happened after a while. It is just a little too fresh to really write about it yet.
