Huggs for Val. No I don't really blame myself, yet I keep coming back to an undeniable truth, ya know? I was paying extra for science diet, thinking I was doing right for my kitties and even switched to Eukanuba while they were getting sick, just in case it was the food. Turns out they were both made by the same company. The only pet food companies that did not use foreign fillers were Purina and Blue Buffalo. So Tabitha only gets Blue.
I expecially miss our little white kitty. Stone deaf with crystal blue eyes. He demanded a hug and an eskimo nose rub each day before I even took off my coat and when we played hide and seek, pretended to look the other way while I hid. Truly advanced for a cat in all ways. And another one, a persian, I had gotten just after getting out of the service in 1987. She was 23 years old. I named her Hobbes for her human-like language, rife with question marks or sounds of joy or sadness. Very easy to understand what she was feeling. They were all allowed to realize their true potential and I miss them all dearly.
god i have to get off of here
