Bubsy

If I haven't gotten the idea yet, every day he reminds me that he'll be doing this thing in his own way and his own time. Last night he was so weak and droopy he could hardly walk, and I went to bed thinking, "Tomorrow will probably be the day I'll have to take him on his last ride."

This morning, he has spent the morning under my feet in the kitchen, asking for food.

He'll do it when he wants, and not a minute sooner.

Oh that Bubsy is planning on keeping you on your toes. I know exactly the roller coaster you are on and every day I check the boards with great trepidation knowing that one of these days.

We have adopted another cat... yes I know it seems soon and he is no replacement for Yami, but more another opportunity to rescue one more kitty. I wish you all the best in this last journey.

Lori, I think that was exactly the right thing to do. There are unimaginable numbers of desperately needy cats out there, and you just took one very lucky one off the list. Yami would approve.

we're going to get a new cat tomorrow, i miss having a cat.

verb, cats rarely march to a human tune. they're always lettig us know they choose us and we're damn lucky to have them. they wouldn't be the same if they behaved differently. good luck with your guy.
