I've wasted too much time in getting this up. Earlier this week I sat with a friend as she held her beloved cat as he died. Last year I sat with Heather, I've lost my boy, and I didn't even have a picture of him on the net.

This afternoon, I sat in my bedroom in the sunlight with my cats, and I realized it was just the sort of day I would have brought him out of his tank to bask in the sun on the windowsill. Gagme should have been tentatively gnawing on his tail today. Instead, he is gone.

 

history
I didn't grow up with animals. My parents had an elderly poodle when I was very young, and they bought a poodle puppy when I was about 12. But Angel was really their dog, not mine.

After I married my first husband, Eddy, I decided I wanted a cat. I came home from class one day in a fit of aggravation over something, opened the door, slammed it shut, and then turned around to see Eddy holding this... little itty bitty raggedy looking gray kitten that was half-wet from a bath. I fell in love, and have stayed in love ever since with my Gleep.

I was one of the first 50!
