She was taken in very early after that and became completely socialized
and an indoor only love bug cat. I adopted her after her human died in
2015. I am very grateful I had six wonderful years with a loving
snuggle bug. I do wish she'd sleep with me tonight but I know that
isn't going to happen. She'll be out of pain tomorrow.



I'm so sorry, but any animal lover has been there, usually FAR too
many times.

My current cat, GLyN, was abandoned by my landlord's Son in 2009, and
has been with me since then. He's still very healthy, and mostly only
comes in for food and attention for an hour or 3, and almost never
sleeps on my bed. IF it's rainy, maybe.

I know that if *I* live long enough, I'll lose him, but for now, I'm
happy when he comes in and head-butts me.



Thank you. I hope GLyN comes in and head-butts you for many more years!
I'm glad to hear he's still very healthy. May that continue for a
long time.

I will miss Buffy trying to distract me from reading a book. I'd be
stretched out on the couch and she'd be snoozing at my feet. Then she'd
come up and give herself ear scritches on the corner of the book. If it
was a softback book, it didn't work quite so well. LOL I'd reach out
and give her ear scritches and talk to her. Sometimes she'd plop her
head down in the middle of the spine of the book at look at me. That
was funny! Okay, okay, scritches and I'll put the book down. But
mostly she just got some scritches and went back for a snooze by by
feet. She was a real snuggle bug.
