I had a cat once who liked to sleep on my head. I battled with her for years but finally just gave up and learned to deal with it. After she died, I couldn't sleep for missing her little paws sticking in my ears at night.

I find myself expecting to see Tiffany sitting on the porch waiting for me, when I think of her it upsets me dearly I just try to remember she must be happy and at peace. Take care Kirsty I hope that start to feel better soon. xxCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11314373295390794669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6058348433457658776.post-79522169786102826942012-10-08T11:54:45.476+11:002012-10-08T11:54:45.476+11:00Oh Kirsty, I know those feelings all too well, it ...Oh Kirsty, I know those feelings all too well, it is so hard. Grief comes in waves which over time, thankfully, become less intense.

About a year after I lost a very sweet kitty named Daisy... I was down to one cat at that point - anyhow, CatMan and I decided to have some tuna melt sandwiches, which we hadn't eaten for some time. <br /><br />The cats all LOVE tuna, so I was in the habit of giving each one a little "tuna treat" whenever I made tuna. I must have been running on auto-pilot because I got out two kitty bowls, forgetting that she was gone - and then I just stood there in the kitchen crying. That was nearly 7 years ago, and it still brings a tear to my eye thinking about it.EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.com
