Some time away to heal the soul...

Thank you again and again for everyone's kind words about Yoko. It means so, so, so much to me. I knew that with everyone out there, I could find comfort and understanding with my (cat) blogger friends.

It's been a hard road. My plan, once I'm fully gathered, is to reconstruct "The Crazy Cat Lady" site. As usual with my breaks, I am still here reading all of you every single day. I never miss a post.

We are relocating across the province in a couple weeks, so I anticipate no posts again until I'm settled in the new house.

The conversation around fostering is being discussed. It'll take me a while to find a new shelter to work with (already have a couple in mind). Our little guy is old enough now that I wouldn't have any trouble with it. We have a spot in the new house, with a cat door and all, which would be perfect.

Fostering is all my heart can handle still for now though. I've been asked by many people if I will be adopting anytime soon, and my answer is just - I don't know. I can't help but feel like I would be just "replacing" her... And that makes me feel sad. But, we'll see. This is the first time in my life I've been cat-less. It feels lonely and empty. I'm getting lots of smiles as I read through everyone else's sites though :)

Okay, that's all I have for now. I still have a video to post, which will come with the site makeover. So, until then.

Cheers,
Kittykye

Missing you

Goodbye My Sweet Friend...

You will always be in my heart.

[Thank you all so much for your comments and condolences during this time. Every single one of them has made me cry.
I will post again when I regain strength. Right now I just need some time with my thoughts...]

Another day passes...

I'm feeding her with an eyedropper now, just to get something in her stomach.
She's barely even opening her mouth.
I'm worried that even that is hurting her.
She looks so miserable.
But this is my friend, my baby, my kitty.
I can't possibly make a decision.
Am I selfish thinking that she'll get better? Letting her go on like this?

I don't know what to do...

My poor sweet little girl... <3

Sick kitty

She's going from water dish to water dish, but not drinking anything.
It's so hard to see her like this.
It's breaking my heart...
:(

Withering Away...

Every day she gets a little skinnier.

She eats and drinks, but not very much.
The vet says that it's most likely heart and kidney failure.
It looks like she has gone blind in one eye, and half her body has become weak and almost unusable.

She hobbles around the house.
But she doesn't seem to be in so much pain that she complains about it.
She just smiles and purrs and follows me and the babe around (to the best of her ability).

 2 lb shoulder-riding kitty.

 Checking out a sun spot together.

Soaking in the warmth.
 

I'm terrified that her time with us is slowly coming to the end. 

I'm hanging on to her with hope that her strength will carry her into each day. 

And cuddle her when she is feeling weak.

(Side note: Her voice never fully recovered. Doc says that with that one sickness, it probably kick started all the other failing organs in her body, since she's so old. It was only a matter of time before she came down with something that lead to these other issues. He said we could run all kinds of tests to verify, and then put her on medication. But, he doesn't highly recommend it because of her age. Right now, we're just sticking by her and trying to make her as happy and comfortable as possible.)

Pretending...

I'm looking out at the beautiful blue ocean on a warm sunny day...

Just sunbathing on the beach without a care in the world...

Ahhh yes. I am there.
