It's been four years that I have wrapped my heart and life around Pumpkin, and eleven years of bonds that tie with love and life with Boogar.
They were the best of friends, after of course a peroid of feline 'you are weird go away' adjustment. Boogar is the crazy looking black cat...with one of his kitten friends. He likes kittens.
Pumpkin is the Orange Cat, on his last day. Pumpkin died thanksgiving day, due to extraodinary complications with diabetes, pancreatits, liver failure and finaly, kidney failure. Each organ system literaly 'died'.
Now as I try to let go with love and respect, and hold his memeory in my heart, I watch Boogar. He copes, in his zen tough cat way. But each night he insists on sleeping on the couch, his face pressed into the blankets Pumpkin last rested on. The lingering scent of his friend gives him comfort, the warmth of the blankets offers some solace in his cat grief.
While I ponder the bonds of love and trust between these two cats, I also think of the owners out there in the world who worry tonight, who struggle, who are afraid for their loved furry one, and my heart goes out to you all. You are not alone in your difficulties, in your sorrows, and inyour joys.
So this blog... it's for several things. Stories of the adventures of Pumpkin and Boogar, the spinal cord party boys... information networking for owners... basics of paralyzed cat care.
And if you have reached me, and you'd like me to post aletter you write, or story...let me know. This blog is for you, readers, pet owners..and most of all for those brave souls who have contacted me through my website, and have asked for assistance giving extrodinary care to their pets.
