It's beautiful. Amethyst is a great stone for any kind of healing.
OMG, Kelly, I am just now reading that Angel lost his battle with the cancer. I am SO, SO sorry. But what an amazing support group you have. And I love the scrapbook you are putting together. So far all the pictures are fabulous, but I guess it helps that the model was such a handsome guy
I actually came to this forum today to write about Callie when I saw your thread, and now I need to tell YOU about Callie, and her predecessor, since when we lost her predecessor, my husband said he could never, ever adopt another cat, because it was just too painful to lose them.
Approximately 15 years ago we lost Miss Point. She and DH had a special relationship because I was working tons of hours and DH had a different work schedule where he was home most of the time. When she died he was deeply affected to the point, as I mentioned, where he simply could not bear any more pain. Finally, about six months after her death, he could see that I really wanted another cat, so one day he drove us over to Petsmart when they were having adoption day and told me to go inside and find a cat. He couldn't even go in with me to look at them. I was hesitant since he wouldn't even look with me, but I did it, and came back out with Callie. Well, long story short, he fell head over heels in love with her, and she with him. They were a team. I was nothing to her except her meal preparer and server. Those two became inseparable.
So....there is plenty of room in your heart to love again...when the time is right. Everyone is telling you this, and it IS true. You will never, ever forget Angel. He will always be there in your heart. Possibly beside another cat, maybe two more, maybe 6 more as the years go by. I still remember and think of the wonderful memories of my first cat, who has been gone now for 30 years. And I also, naturally, think of my soul cat, whose been gone for almost 4 years. But when I think of him now, it's not with sad tears, but with a slight smile as I think of the way he made me laugh, or the way he made my heart "sing".
So funny, you are right, & that's why I'm here! Oh how I miss him playing & being that "silly monkey." I was thinking, the last time he really played was probably the end of November, since I took him in for not eating much for a few days, on Dec. 8th, & the vet noticed his breathing was off a bit, so did the X=ray that revealed the fluid in his chest that she drained. The next day on the 9th was when she called me w/ the results of the fluid testing.Lol, I love the lovable names you gave Angel, only cat lovers like us can understand. Enjoy yourself and one day a cute kitty will come to you. That's how I feel too..
Thank you. Yes, those lions were so amazing!! The talent to make such a thing, let alone two at life size!
@Angels mommy I remember those photographs of the lions, and the print that you bought, very clearly. They were amazing. I love your print and hope you have a perfect spot chosen for it. There is a life in that picture which is very special.
I am confident another cat will find you, when Angel knows you are ready. Until then, make the most you can of the fur encounters you do have when you are out and about / and visiting others who have fur family, and with us here.
Thanks! yes, he does.
I love the necklace Kelly, Angel has exquisite taste.
This is beautiful.@Stewball
, Thank you. I will. Even if it;s just around the house, as I would not wear it while working. ...and of course, when I do manage to get out & about.
Hobby Lobby called yesterday, & the mating I picked out for the cat print I bought this summer is in, so I will finally be getting that done this week! I chose a double mat. A brown, fabric, almost like a burlap, If I remember right? (since the original is a fabric piece) & a teal thinner 1/4 inch exposed, inside of that. I can't wait to finally have it done!
This is the print, some of you may remember me showing it when I got it. It was only 1 of 50, from a local artist. I found it in an art shop downtown. The same day I posted those life size lions made of sisal in the window, for anyone who remembers those!
Thank you, I appreciate that. I'm taking it day by day. I hope things are better with your kitties. Is Sebastian ok?
Kelly, I apologize for not being able to visit this thread sooner to offer my condolences. I have been having kitty troubles.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Angel was such a sweet boy and a wonderful companion. I know you miss him deeply.
I hope you are doing okay and coping as best you can.
