so many hugs
about her fur
Maybe you can take it out, dust it, brush it a little and put it in an envelope. A keep sake.
and it seems black cat likes you, he's just taking a while to relax
I have saved whiskers, a tuft of her fur clipped by the funeral company, and some fur from the brush. It just feels like slowly erasing her from my house. π
I donβt know what Iβm going to do with him. Iβm trying to ensure he gets a feed when I see him and parasite treatment once a month, but currently I canβt seem to do any more than that.
you can't erase her. It's not possible. As long as you are here, she is here, in your heart, where she can never, ever be taken away from you.
Sometimes it feels like Iβm already forgetting how she felt to hold and what she sounded like π
May I suggest you print some pictures of her and frame them for the wall. All the other things just end up in a drawer but it would be nice to have a picture on display.
don't worry so much about black cat, he will tell you want he wants and needs πββ¬π€
That's a good idea. She was such a beautiful cat.
I do fret. It's a really awkward position to be in and I have my fingers crossed he doesn't get sick, hit, or attacked by another animal.
and good night Melba, π«
