Yes, I am overly-blessed with poor little abandoned/PTSD kittehs, and now one with FIV, and I can't even put them on the back porch with the space heaters anymore, thanks to the asshole neighbor and my scumbag slumlord. And I love them, even when Bob's being a bullying outright-fucking-asshole-PRICK out of jealousy, territorial bullshit, whatever --- and most of them love me back, even as skittish as they are. Sometimes, when I get really lucky, James even tells me that HE loves me, but he loves to play hard-to-get. Typical bisexual male. He's just as callow to his unabashed amour, the cat who WORSHIPS his little black ass, Yoda, the newly-deserted FIV cat, our first raging flamer. Most cats are bisexual, from what I've seen, except for the uber-"macho" dillholes like Bob & Chucky... but Yoda love JAMES and James ONLY. Breaks my heart, James is so damned fickle.<br /><br />But even with a small herd in the back yard & back porch <i>(hey, if the door falls open, I can't help THAT, dammit! Slumlord can't fuck with me over THAT. They DESERVE heat & safety on the back porch, but I can't even FEED THEM on the fucking property.)</i>, a huge personality, such a unique entity as Riley, her loss is deeply & painfully felt.<br /><br />Please love one another and hug Moondoggie for me, and know that, whatever y'all need, until the end of fucking days or oxygen in our atmosphere, whatever --- when you need, when you hurt, when you need help for ANYTHING, fucking CALL ME!!!! If I'm not here every damned day, I do NOT want to miss out on such huge, agonizing parts of your lives, just because I've been so fucked-up and fucked-over in/by MY life. No matter how fast or slowly I waste away as I have most of this year, I am still HERE FOR Y'ALL. I love y'all so much, and it breaks me into a million fucking pieces that I wasn't here to help, to do anything, to BE HERE for y'all when you were going through such hell.<br /><br />I am so, so fucking sorry, Scott, Mary, Sheri & Moondoggie. I love you all so much, and I loved Riley as if she were my own. Even James is kinda bummed, after sitting on "his" ottoman, watching me cry @ the computer. And for a fickle little shit like him, that's a RESPONSE. Sending y'all all of our love,<br /><br />XOXOXO<br />Love,<br />J/AnntiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-43674685690324727942014-11-03T00:10:44.944-08:002014-11-03T00:10:44.944-08:00ANNTI sez...

ATE IT.<br /><br />Two months and eight billion dollars late, and in no position to be of much help now, but even as y'all are starting to see the first rays of light around the clouds of despair & loss, I'm sitting here crying my face off over Riley, lo, these many stoopidly-missed moons later. I am so sorry that I wasn't here for y'all. I'm so sorry that I missed Sheri's birfday post. I'm so sorry that Riley, an amazing she-beast if ever there was one <i>(I could just IMAGINE Riley hanging out w/my dearly-lost Biddy --- now, THAT would've been one hellacious cat duo/supercat team!)</i>, had to have so much pain, that y'all had to feel every bit of that pain with her, that Moondoggie is still aching and wondering why his bestest buddy didn't come home.<br /><br />It really is ripping my guts out, that I wasn't here for y'all, that I didn't even bother to LOOK IN, I was so wrapped-up in my own clusterfucked shit/health/slumlord/dickwads-in-general --- I had abandoned y'all in one of the most profound losses of your lives. I can never make that up to y'all, but I'll spend the rest of my life trying. <br />And as soon as I can, I will DEFINITELY be donating to Four Paws in Riley's honor. I just wish that I had been HERE when it MATTERED. That I could have offered some comfort, some help, an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry upon, whatever y'all needed. I am so, so fucking sorry. I loved Riley, too, she reminded me of every smart, wickedly-funny she-cat I've ever known, especially my Biddy, but she was HERSELF, our Riley, she was unique and special and could throw the wickedest glares that I've ever seen a cat slice-off.<br /><br />She is missed, and greatly. I am so, so fucking sorry, Scott & Mary and Sheri and Moondoggie. Please, next time, if I'm not around, PLEASE HOLLER AT ME!!! Y'all have my e-mail, phone numbers, FIND ME whenever you need ANYTHING!!! I know, I *should* have fucking BEEN HERE, but as I already said, my head was way too far up my own ass to see your reality.<br /><br />(Cont'd)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1776456473941522431.post-25315697702252114672014-09-18T05:45:49.521-07:002014-09-18T05:45:49.521-07:00Very sorry to hear this.

There's never been an easy passing.<br /><br />It's funny. Cats are supposed to be these really cool and aloof characters, and we their servants, and yet somehow, when I go "missing" for a week's vacation, my ThumbPer gets completely cuddly when I return. And he;s not been the first cat to do that, nor do I think he'll be the last. <br /><br />Indeed, as I reach the midpoint of my life, I look ahead and try to figure out at what age I'll have to stop having a cat around, because I don't want to pass without ensuring he has a comfortable life after I'm gone.<br /><br />It's mortality, pure and simple, that makes moments like these so hard to endure. We don't just mourn the death of a cherished friend. Part of us mourns that we must grow older, too. <br /><br />I've said it before in several places, Scott, but my heart aches for you and Mary. And Moondoggie, too. . We've all been there, in this place, in some fashion or other.
