This is a small tribute about her final months. Our cat Lulu passed away back in February. I wrote a brief post here at the time, but was too...

Last Friday, we said goodbye to our cat Lulu, who was 17.5 yrs old. She was in kidney failure and although treatments helped, the disease still progressed. It was a gut-wrenching, heart-breaking decision to say goodbye, but we never wanted her to suffer. We are devastated. Otto (our other Ragdoll) spent several days looking for...

Just consider this a helpful public service announcement: don’t wake a sleeping cat! Lulu is an expert in cat naps. Even at just 12 weeks old, way back in the year 2000, Lulu demonstrated her talent for sleeping. By the age of two, Lulu could snooze just about anywhere. Toys piled inside her cat bed?...

We adopted a new cat! Actually, we adopted him last Fall, but things have been a bit difficult around here so I wasn’t ready to post about our lack of success getting Lulu to warm up to this new arrival in the early months. Yes, this process has taken months and months. Is Lulu happy with her new “big” little...

I think it’s possible I’ve had a delayed reaction to our cat Aliza passing away last month. All I know is last week her loss really hit me hard. I found it tough to concentrate. I spent lots of time with Lulu instead of crafting, creating, blogging. Lulu. Our only cat. Pictured above, in all of her...

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for our cat Aliza.  She was put to sleep on Tuesday, as her condition was deteriorating. I’d like to think she’s snuggling with our cat Mr. Boober who passed away five years ago, and to whom Aliza was very attached. If Aliza could talk, I think her signature...

Our sweet Aliza cat is coming to the end of her days, and the hope is for her to pass peacefully here at home. Our vet agrees. (Rest assured we won’t let her endure or suffer any pain, and will make the tough decision if we have to.) Aliza’s story is pretty amazing, as she...

This morning, as can happen, reality came dancing right up into my face in a startling way. Our kitty Aliza is getting old. As in old. Not that I wasn’t aware of this, but for some reason today, I have a lump in my throat about it. And so, this post is long and contain...
