i do try to remember all of the memories. including the first moment i saw her and how she picked me to bring her home. that was a joyous moment. its hard tho…i want to cry when i think of those memories. i have both calvin and taranga. when im sad or down i wanna cry and sometimes it doesnt come out. im like i need to cry. i dont do the sobbing cries now. i just let the tears run down my face…
im not sure how long he will be with me. but its been since oct. i had him from oct till feb. then taranga needed surgery so my boyfriend took him from feb until lat month. then i got him back. so he has been back with me for i think a month now. not sure. all i know is i wasnt ready. i still feel not ready. but if i do get to keep him then it was meant to be.
Two of the neighbor kids came over yesterday to ask if they could “come in and pet some kitties”! I politely responded that the kitties were eating their lunch so perhaps later. About 30 minutes later, the little girl came back and rang the doorbell again to find out whether the kitties were finished eating. They were and one, Zane Grey, was out in the garage on the still-warm hood of my car. He very kindly allowed himself to be admired and shyly petted. She was very gentle with him so I picked him up and we sat down on the garage steps for a cuddle session. She learned the fine art of chin-and-ear rubs and Zane actually stuck his chin out farther for more scritches!! Pretty good for an 18 year old cat and a 6 year old!
awww that is soo cute! always teach kids to be gentle with the animals. ya never know what that animal has been through. glad he likes chin rubs :)…i think a lot of cats likes that. not sure why but i think they do
my boyfriend and i have discovered that screaming kids scares bubba. and cars going by in a busy area. he likes the piece and quiet. he doesnt mind kids coming up to him at petco. but he didnt like it when we were out for lunch at a local hot dog place
its been 2 months since my baby girl has left me. i already shed a few tears. i need to update my memorial i have for her on the rainbow bridge’s website. i write a diary type thing. i hope my boyfriend will give me a hug later before he leaves for the night. i wished he would stay over for the night. i think i would feel better if he did that. comforting type thing. i know more tears will come along. i cant believe its been 2 months now. im sure that bubba may come over and help me out. im not sure if he will. maybe taranga will make a visit tonight to let me know that she is ok.
sigh i miss her so much. baby girl mommy loves you and misses you. give calvin a lick on the head from me.
well i have good news. i get to keep bubba. ill be referred to as aunt amy while my friend and his wife is still considered as parents. not sure how that will go to be honest. they will visit him to see how he is doing, etc. but i now have a cat. or i should say bubba has a place to live where he wont get shuffled around, etc…so now he is my responsibility. i need to find a new vet so i can bring him over there and get him looked at to be sure he is doing good. i hope he is. i hope he is a healthy boy. im sure he is. and he is almost 2 years old. so even tho today is a sad day it turned into a good day at the end. im glad my therapist has given me the courage to text my friend about it
true…i wasnt expecting to keep bubba but ive gotten attached to him. i would be sad if i had to give him back and he has been with me since oct till feb, then with my boyfriend feb till last month and now he is back with me. so he has been away from his parents for quite a while now. but im happy i guess. i still miss taranga and calvin deeply. but he is different in personality even tho he does a few things that reminds me of my babies.
we were at a CVS as i needed to pick up a prescription. so while my boyfriend and bubba waited for me, my boyfriend gave him a little walk. this is as far as they got. we discovered he doesnt like the sounds of trucks nor does he like the sounds of shopping carts
i think bubba was trying to tell me something. either no going on the computer or he wants to use it. im not sure which but something tells me he wants a bit of both
thanks…im trying to take as many pics as possible of him as the years go by. i felt like i didnt take enough of calvin and taranga. so i plan on taking a lot.
me too…i rarely take pics of my friends or myself or my boyfriend…its all cats lol. i prefer to take pics of the cats as you never know how long you’ll have them for…i do take pics of my moms dog. i should post a few of those on here so you can see how stinkin cute he is.
tomorrow bubba is going to the vet for a check up at a new vet. im nervous about it after what ive been through with taranga. i hope he is a healthy boy, etc. ill need to get a stool sample to bring in with me. just in case they want it. you never know what they will need. i dont know when the last time he went to the vet, etc. so its overdue for a check up. he has stinky poops! well not all the time but i have to cover my nose lol. i hope this will be a good relationship with a new vet and i can feel confident, etc. i plan on wanting to get him microchipped. i doubt he’ll get out of the building but he is sneaky. ill get him a collar with a tag on it as well. i want to be safe than sorry with this one…he isnt like taranga where he can just stay and not want to get out.
i still miss my babies. its hard without them. but im sure they would be proud of me for what i am doing for bubba. my friend said that once he gets a place he would like to take bubba for a week. im not sure how i feel about that. he is now my cat. but i understand that they want a relationship with him still. but overall, i miss my babies.
im nervous about bringing bubba to the vet. after what i went through with taranga it just makes me a bit worried. i know the same thing wont happen but im still nervous. it seems getting his record was impossible. i havent heard back from the vet so i guess they managed to get it. at least i hope so! otherwise we are starting from the beginning. i wished my friend had paperwork so that way i have it in my hands and can show it to the vet. sigh, not a good start for bubba in being in my care now. I just passed on the info that was given to me by my friend. i shouldve of called the vet myself and see if i can get it faxed over but its my friend responsibility to get that info to me. a few people on the pet grief website im on which has been helpful would say oh the aunt stuff, your the mama. ehe was suppose to go to the vet in march. at least im being a responsible mama to take him now :). but yeah they are all supportive on me having bubba and for my loss of my baby girl. i even friended a few on facebook! so now i have friendships that has been built. im happy about that. one offered if we come down to florida that her house is always available. which is nice of her…so overall the site has been great. on mondays at 9 they have a memorial candle ceremony which makes me cry but its nice. i try to go every monday if i can. i missed this past mondays as i forgot about it. but will try to go next mondays. so overall bubba is being cute and loveable, im nervous, etc. ill report how it went afterwards!
well his visit to the vet went well…he did not like getting his shots. it shook him up a bit. it was like woah what is this that is pinching me. but other than that he did perfect. didnt mind the vet examining him at all. i got a few advice from the vet and they have a pet portal which i am now signed up for so now i can see his medical records and everything. his distemper and rabies is good for 3 years so he doesnt need any more shots. he is due to go back to the vet in a year unless something comes up. which i dont think anything will. i can email them if need be. they have a facebook page that i can see the cutie pies that they see. the website also has a list of if there is an emergency these are the places we suggest. one of them is where i brought taranga :(. he is now getting wet food twice a day to make sure he gets the nutriants that he needs. and to keep his urinary system in check as they are prone to issues. which i can understand as my boyfriend had a cat that ended up with urinary blockage at the age of 2. and bubba is almost at the age of 2. and it was devistating…anyways. enough about that. he just did a good job
isnt he stinkin cute with the collar on??? it has a bow tie on it. he has a name tag on it as well…but the collar. i cant get over how cute he is wearing it
im now getting that feeling of did i make a mistake in keeping bubba. am i ready for this, etc. maybe im scared in having another cat around. i love him but it isnt the same feeling. will that change? as time goes on will he fill my heart even more? so far he is liking the wet food ive bought. he likes them all. it turns out the blue wilderness is the cheaper one compared to the wellness one. so ill be keeping the blue one that i fed taranga. depending on the dry food prices i may switch over. dry food is expensive. well the ones i buy. i want them to have the healthy one. not saying they are arent. ive fed taranga and calvin the wellness one since 2009 with calvin and 2012 with taranga. so im trying to get bubba to like it. its working somewhat. i have to mix the meow mix in there. and eventually ill be able to switch over. if i do switch to the blue ill get a small bag to start. i want to be cohesive with all of the food. anyways, that is todays update. right now he is in the living room somewhere. he was with me this morning curled up behind my knees which is what he likes to do. i wake up to see him there
bubbas collar is off. i have no idea where to look for it as i have no idea where in the apt he goes. i have a feeling its somewhere in the living room but my living room looks like a tornado went through it its gonna be hard for me to find it sigh. he looks too darn cute in it! now i have to find it.
Aww. I’m sure you will find it! Our neighbors have collars on their cats which look like a court jester collar, with lots of bells! The kitties aren’t happy but our population of bunnies and birdies are!
i just found it. i was in the kitchen to give him his wet food for the evening and while i was waiting for him to finish it so i can clean the plate i looked up at the window sill and that is where it went. so now he has his collar back on. silly little bubs
bubba took it off again. now i have to go figure out where it went this time. it wasnt in the spot i found it the other day. i will get him to get use to wearing the collar. he doesnt struggle when i put it on so. its not in the bathroom as i had to go in there a few times. so its either in the kitchen or living room. my guess its probably in the living room somewhere. thats going to be fun looking in. it looks like a tornado went through it. sigh tarnaga didnt mind the collar at all…once in a while she would take it off because she was scratching her neck. but other than that she kept it on. bubba is almost 2 so he can get use to it unlike an older cat. i just hope i find it.
