The Kitchen Table

The love of a fur baby begins another cycle!

7 years ago

When I was at the vet with Blue, thinking I was taking her home...I met a darling little kitty that I played with at the vet office. I told him "if I didn't already have a cat I would take you home" so I lost Blue on Saturday and on Monday I went back and got the kitty I talked with...he is so sweet and has already brought so much laughter to our home. When he sits still enough I will take a pic and share with you all. So the cycle starts over...he has already got my heart!

I'm so glad to hear this. The love of another pet doesn't replace the love you had with Blue, but our hearts are always big enough to take in a new pet.

Blue will understand.

LOL Lizzie! I thought about Wanda (wander), too. :) We've tried a bunch of names, but nothing really seems to fit. We think we'll go with Sami. Donna

So sorry for your loss. McKenzie was a beautiful girl -- such a sweet face. You gave her a wonderful life for many years and a loving path across the rainbow bridge. Several years ago when we had to help our old girl across. Fifteen years earlier we had found her starving in the woods and she was around 2 when we rescued her. We did it at the vets, but we were able to pet her and feed her ham and cheese as the pain medicine took effect and she went to sleep. She had been so arthritic that just seeing her body relax like it hadn't in months gave me the peace I needed to know we were doing the right thing. You did too and I hope you find solace in remembering the wonderful life she probably never would have had without you.

Awe, that's so sweet, it's like he was there in waiting so he could mend your broken heart. I think giving another kitty a good home is a lovely way to honor Blue. I'm really so happy for you and can't wait to see the pic!

I was just going to say the same things that socks said...."It was meant to be." Thank you for taking that baby into your heart and home. What did you name the kitten? Looking forward to seeing a picture.

Congratulations, Cheryl. That's exactly how we got our Peanut. He was the last kitten up for adoption at the vet clinic where our very ill Kiki with FIV was being treated. While we were waiting, I played with him and fell in love with him. The receptionist told me no one wanted him because he was black and white. Kiki did not make it and when my husband stopped by 8 days later to pick up Kiki's urn, he noticed the kitten was still there and decided to talk me into adopting him. It did not take any convincing and Peanut was with us for almost 21 years. I hope your new addition lives at least as long.
