Kosette

[funnel101]

I thought I knew what was going to kill Kosette. It was going to be kidney failure. After all, she'd had kidney disease for over a year, and her kidneys were going to crash. Or it was going to be that the arthritis in her hind legs would progress to such a point that she'd no longer leave her bed, not even to use the litter box.

Neither of those

I'm so sorry for the loss of Kosette. IF THIS MAKES YOU FEEL ANY BETTER when you said the unevenly-dilated-eyes thing the FIRST thing I thought was "oh, like when my friend had her brain tumor!" and in a weird way it helped me feel closer to her (??).

Yay new kittie!

Brain tumor was the first thing I thought of, too, actually. Thank you.

You gave Kosette (and Sugar, Min, and Oatmeal) a wonderful life. Eighteen years, the vast majority of which were good, and all of which she was loved and well cared for-that's the most any cat could hope for.

I'm so sorry that she's gone. I know the feeling of grieving while a cat (or person) is still alive.

Ethel is a lucky cat.

Thank you.

Yes, Ethel is a lucky cat. And still on my lap.

My condolences on losing Kosette, especially like that. But that end was a lot kinder than no quality of life at all.

And congrats on Ethel. She's a beautiful tortie and I don't know why she wasn't snapped up before you did. Well their loss, your gain and lap warming!

Thank you.

Ethel wasn't previously adopted because she wasn't a kitten or an outrageously outgoing adult. In general, those are the cats that get adopted. Ethel is a lap cat, but quiet, and she won't come up to strangers and jump on their laps, especially when other cats are around.

*nod* I would prefer adopting adult kitties. They're not as crazy as kittens and they need loving too.

Your extended exposure to Ethel probably helped a lot in her getting used to you and showing her affectionate side underneath the reserve.

Thank you.

Kosette & Min & Luke RIP
