More about the cat...

[geminigirl]

Lately, I've been waking up with a toy mouse next to my bed. Every morning. It's a toy that Beta isn't fond of, though he's the one more inclined towards playing with the toy mice in the house. I think it's been Oblivion, bringing the toy in, and leaving it by my bed. Perhaps she knows she's dying, and wants to be sure that I'm taken care of, so she brings me mice. I'm a very bad kitten. She knows that.


Oh, and I've realized that I ought to make some adjustments to my friends list, which one of these days I'll get around to.

I don't think I told you about the morning before Scooter was put to sleep.

I went to sit out on the balcony, and for the first time in his life, he meowed loudly wanting to come out with me. I went ahead and picked him up, carried him outside, and sat him on my lap while I watched the birds and trees and sunshine. He purred so very loudly, and was so happily quiet and peaceful sitting with me.

I know he knew something was wrong; I believe he was ready to go and was trying to give me one last time of being with him, comforted and loved.

Cats know. They will tell you.

I don't know if you happen to be a WWdN reader, but he wrote several entries about his cats being sick. My favorite, because he said it better than I could have, is one where he talks about sitting down with his cat and saying "Are you ready to leave us? I don't want you to go, and if you don't want to go, I'll do whatever I can to keep you. But if you're ready, let me know." And then he just waited for a sign.

To some extent, it's us projecting onto them...but it's a good projection, I think...and it does seem like they understand sometimes.
