Max is home

I took his ashes home today.
Max is sleeping on one of his favorite bookshelves.
Cat of a lifetime.
But I'm not dead yet.

I know there are those of you who have won the trust and love of a
completely free cat.
I've heard from you.
Thanks
H.

I'm glad he's back home.

The hurt will become less with time. With the passage of time, the happy
memories will come more easily.

The fact that Max came to trust you and love you is a powerful testament
to your character.

Hang in there. It does get better.

My character?
(chuckles)
Max's character makes me pale in comparison.

I always expected him to just not come home some day.
There are 12,000 acres of woods around our hill.
In half a decade I had to fish him out of a tree twice.

Brown Tabbies on an oak tree are invisible; The woods are oaks and juniper.

The Saturday before Max died he was pigging out on baby rabbits.
He could have swallowed a bone wrong.

Who knows?
I lost a wonderful border collie that way at the same age as Max thirty
years ago.
Senator John Jack Cheese loved me too.

Sade has a song "No ordinary love."

Anybody who thinks only humans have souls isn't paying attention.
Nite all

I agree. They each have little souls. Not little as in lesser, but
little as in cute and agile. Max's life sounded like it was full of
fun, although ick about the baby rabbits.

I'm glad he's with you, at least that part of him that was born of our Mama
Earth. Surely Max's spirit shall be a guard and guiding star for you, even in
his "retirement."

Mr. Stevens, you're a poetic man. Max must have had a great appreciation of
the things in life that make for poetry, and must be part of the bond you
shared that I can feel as I read your posts.

Blessed be,
Baha

I'm glad you've got your boy home.

PB's ashes are sitting on the dresser waiting for.......I don't
know......the thought of scattering them is just too painful/final at
the moment. I want/need to keep him close for now and maybe for as
long as I live.

I found a couple of cats at the local shelter.
Pick 'em up Friday.
We shall see how they fare on Max's hill.

One's a spay female, still a kitten, the other a neutered male, about 2-3
years old.

Think I'll name 'em Lily Litvak(she's already drawn blood) and Bill Lear.
(There are a couple of names to google.)

Lily

Russia's top female fighter ace in World War II was Lilya Litvak, The White
Rose of Stalingrad.

Bill

Lear, who had only an eighth-grade education, also held more than 150
patents. He is credited with inventing the car radio, the eight-track stereo
tape player and cartridges, the autopilot for jet aircraft, the navigational
radio, and the radio direction-finder for general aviation aircraft.
