I've been drying laundry today, and when I set the tumbler off earlier there were thumping sounds. Before anyone worries, no cats were harmed. It must have been jeans wadded up or something, but I counted my cats, and Tex multiple times. I've had issues about using the tumbler since before, and often have panicked cat counting moments when I'm using it. But this sound, it was exactly the same, and even though I knew they were all fine, I still kept counting. Then James came in, heard and despite me telling him that they were all fine, he eventually checked himself, and man, I felt sick to the stomach. What if I'd been wrong and one of them were in there?

They weren't. Freesia is on the tower, Tinker on top of the fridge, Milo is playing with some paper, and Tex is asleep on the couch. It's just, I miss Moffet so much right now, and I know she was only a cat, but she was my cat and I loved her so much.

I'm fine, I don't need comments or hugs. I'm just going to go hug my animals and then throw myself into the SeSa excitement. Just, if you have a pet, go give it some love from me.

SeSa!!!!!!!

It's here at last!!!

It makes me so happy!!

(And I've just cuddle Lancecat. He eeped in protest because he was sleeping, dammit! :-)

Poor Lancecat. When he wakes up, tell him sorry from me *g*

I'd be exactly the same.

And it takes a while to truly get used to them being gone. I was locking up after Mum when she went to work this morning, and I seriously checked to see whether Misty was there and wanting to come in. Old habits die hard, I guess. But a few months have gone by now, and at least I can talk about her without bursting into tears.

That's it exactly. I know she's gone, and I can talk about her with crying. Well, not right at the moment, but usually. But sometimes I imagine her jumping on the bed at night, or cuddling into my shoulder and purring in my ear.

We're lucky to have animals that love us so.

There's a neighbourhood cat who visits us sometimes and the first time I saw him I freaked out, because he's about the same size as Misty and although he's a tuxedo cat, I didn't see the white parts when he was walking past the window. I guess it's a case of wanting so hard for them to still be around. Tricky's been my saviour, just as I know your other kitties will be helping you a lot.

I guess it's a case of wanting so hard for them to still be around.

Yeah, that's it. I can understand that freak out because Moffet has a double that lives on our estate. It's like seeing ghost from the past walk past.

My cats help me so much. They're there with love and purrs and unconditional love. I can't ask for anything more. I'm glad you still have that from Tricky, just without the purrs.

No, Tricky's more of an advocate of biting *g*

I can't go home and cuddle my babies now, so, here *hugs*

Thanks, sweetheart.

I'm still gonna hug you even if you don't need it, ok? *hugs you tight*

If you're going to be pushy about it *g*

Thanks, Saba. You're awesome.

Ahahaha, you bet I'm going to be pushy about hugs. *g*

just a cat, nothing. Family Member.

And for the record, I still catch myself tossing food on the floor, expecting Jake to catch it. Old habits, man.

You're right. They are family.

It is hard to break those habits. Especially as sometimes it feels like they're going to walk around the corner any minute.

Ok. I went and hugged my Zeke. Now, I'm gonna come back and hug you too. Don't shake your head at me like that. Just accept a lil lovin' long distance, k? {{HUGS}} Just for bein' you.

I'm glad you hugged your Zeke. That makes me happy.

Thank you for the long distance love too. You're such a wonderful person.

birds of a feather, sweetheart....

*hugs cat to chest*

*hugs you*

Thank you.

It's such a sickening feeling you know? I was transported back to that horrible time when we found her.

I probably think of that every time I do laundry, even though I don't do it in the same house as my cat. You poor thing. I can't imagine how horrible.

Pssht. Just because you don't need hugs doesn't mean you can get out of it that easily. Also, what everyone else said, plus: *hugs you so tight you squeak*

You're all too kind to me, really.

Thank you, so very much.

if you have a pet, go give it some love from me
Stella says purrrrrrrrr. I think she means thanks for the snuggles.

Tell Stella she's quite welcome :)

I can't love Tipsy right now, I'm afraid, because I stepped on her foot earlier tonight. She ran into a dark room at high speed in front of me, and then STOPPED DEAD right under my feet. So now I can't give her a cuddle because she's cringing every time I walk past and trying to make me feel like an evil cat-abuser. But if she thinks she's getting any more extra-tasty catfood like that, she's very wrong. (Because we ran out last week.)

{surprise hugs!}

Poor Tipsy. Though I can see that she'd disappear in a dark room very easily.

Obviously she needs to continue with the stand at door and look at food trick, the cringing just isn't cutting it.

You're all very stealthy with the hugs. Thank you :)

Ariel says 'Prrrrchirp'

I say - LOVE YOU!

Tell Ariel he's one of the cutest cats ever

Love you too. Thank you.

*snugs* There's no such thing as "only a cat".

Yeah, you're right. Thank you, honey.

[...] and I know she was only a cat [...]

Don't ever say that *hugs despite being told not to* If you love your cats the way I love my bunnies (which, seriously, sounds even more stupid; I mean... bunnies!), they're not "just cats", despite what any "non-pet" people might think.

*goes to cuddle her girls*

Bunnies are important too. I had a bunny I loved loads, and was upset when she died too.

I'm so glad you get to cuddle yours.

*hugs tight*

It's horrible to lose a pet. No ifs, ands or buts about it. You're more than entitled to still be upset about it. I hope you're doing better again. ♥

I'm doing much better. Thank you, honey.

It's understandable that it would bring back bad memories and then bring back memories of Muffet, period *hugs you even though you say you didn't them*

You're all sneaky with the hugs.

It was a weird night. I mean, I was so happy about SeSa, but that was wrapped in Moffet memories.

Oh hon. I'd glad they're all ok. ::hugs::

Yeah, so am I.

Thank you, honey.

I'm so sorry to hear about Moffet, hun *hugs you tight*! And a cat is never 'only a cat' in my humble opinion *hugs you more*!

You're right. Pets are never 'only' anything.

Thank you, honey.
