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.
