I'm going through the exact same thing as you are - a new kitten, an ache in my heart for my dear Quill who I lost in the summer among other griefs and troubles that have happened this year. For Christmas, what I usually do is put a favourite toy up on the tree, one that was important for my...
Two hours in the morning, and two hours at night ... and Frankie, my four month old, is out like a light. He's found a stuffed toy he likes to rabbit kick - a big old fluffy skunk ... he goes nuts for it. As a puzzle feeder I'm using a few yards of old fabric, and I sprinkle his dry food into it...
My sweet baby Frankie can join the Black Cat Thread! My boy Quill passed away in early June and I went all summer without a feline friend, grieving for Quill daily, and just hoping to find a cat to love as much as I loved Quill.
Fast forward to last Friday and me being nearly ready to adopt...
My deepest thanks to everyone - I definitely felt the emptiness and loneliness that not having a furkid around does. I have had Frankie for less than a week and we are slowly learning. I have never raised a kitten in my life, and it's been a huge change of pace, keeping up with his antics and...
I've been grieving all summer.
Quill passed over the Bridge in early June, after the final stages of CKD had taken its toll on him. And it was the saddest, darkest day of my life. He was acting fine that morning until he pushed too hard, I guess. We found him collapsed, unable to walk, on the...
Quillese ... hmm. He knows:
Come
Go
Up
In, Out
Over Here
It's Okay
Come On!
Good Boy!
No
Stop It
Ouch
Wanna Play

What's This?
Water?/Food?
Hello, Hey Baby
Kisses, Love You Too
And he's a very talkative, expressive cat and we understand each other quite well. It's...
I'm happy to say that he is doing INCREDIBLY well, a month later. He's been on subcutaneous fluids once every week, is drinking and eating without any vomiting and packing on the ounces weekly, dehydration is under control, and best of all he talking and playing again. He's one happy boy full of...
Well, this photo is a few years old now but - I caught Quill sleeping in a rainbow. I had fishtanks alongside a windowsill, and Quill had a box he decided to sleep in under my desk. The light was just so, and refracted through the water - and it bathed him in a beautiful rainbow. <3
I'm planning to do a bi-weekly update just because he is doing so well at the moment and if things go south you'll know. Meanwhile, here's a pic I took of Quill about ten minutes ago - he's adopted the couch as "his" spot and doesn't really go anywhere else. I'm trying to reintroduce him to the...
So ... good news. And first of all, I guess I owe everyone thanks for helping me get through this whole ordeal - I have never dealt with something like this and it put me in a huge state of panic. Quill's bloodwork was better than expected - everything is much lower than it was last week. The...
Had leftover spiral cut ham, whipping cream and parmesan. And because I am feeling, in general, horrible I decided to make a ham parmesan cream sauce and spaghetti, threw in a handful of peas and black pepper, crushed garlic and ... oh. my goodness. It's so good, and just not what I need. But...
