Lilith yes but sweet 'tortitude' my Mayday was the sweetest little girl. Hope 2016 is kind to you & yours. Hugs Vivian

Hi Sue yes understand about the waves of sadness... Memories. My friend who I went camping with commented that they could see I was still a bit raw. Haven't posted this but I volunteer for a vet every 2nd Sat - been doing this since 11/07. I was over at the clinic Tue to keep busy. He called me yest...

Hi Sue I just googled heuchera plant pic - look lovely. And with the name 'Tommy' meant to be. How are you feeling? No doubt still fragile. ((Hugs)) Vivian

Aaah Torties full of personality! But I'm biased here. I read on my sister's public Facebook that my mum's cat gave up in early May. Tim Tam was a seal point Birman who was originally with my sister but was being bullied by a Manx so mum & dad took her aged 5 or 6. She was 16 or 17 this year. Wh...

Sue very regal! Gorgeous. Hugs. Vivian

Hi Francis don't know but...if she's over grooming & breaking her skin resulting in a sore/infection could it be an anxiety issue? And I know it's costly but could you get a vet to do a house visit to save her stressing? I'm sure someone will post something to help/relieve your worries. And as t...

Hello Anna I've been awake since 1am trying to drop off without any luck. Regarding connections, a work colleague is a Buddhist & they, as you know, believe in reincarnation. She's been a great help with her outlook on my Mayday's passing. So much that I've been to a free meditation class at a B...

Hi Anna I feel for you & know, as others too know the pain you are going through. Take comfort in that you did everything possible for your darling Blinky. What a beautiful pic you've posted. Remember she chose you as she knew in her heart she'd be a loved & cherished family member - and she...

I find lighting a candle at night & sitting watching it flicker helps & I'm not so 'down' when I go to bed. Hugs to all!

I always let Mayday go wherever she liked as i always said "It's her house too & she probably treats it better than some humans would!" Good that Lucy is settling down in more ways than one. Vivian

I'm so sorry about Thomas & I'm having a few tears - for Thomas, Dora, The Cat & Mayday. I still have waves of grief. Life is so fragile & our furry babes give us so much . My thoughts are with you. I'm still lighting a candle every night. Hugs to you & yours. Vivian

That's gear news. I too don't have great sight! Can't see clearly 6ft! Have worn specs since I was 6! The eye specialist explained to me "my pupils aren't soccer balls - rugby balls & laser not a good idea! Dealt a bad deal in the gene pool there!" But appear to have scored the best ge...

HimBarry thanks for your post. I really missed my Mayday this Xmas. First one in 21 yrs I didn't get up & wish the first love in my life "merry Xmas Darling Girl I love you so much!" And she'd purr & purr. It was tough. Vivian

Hi Vixxey I'm home from my Xmas Day & night camping trip - no service. As Wanda said no 'such thing as Just a cat'. Once you have a special fur body enter your life you treasure them. I hope you had an ok Xmas - no use playing with words at a time like this. My friend wanted to stay tonight &...

Congrats Desley & right on Xmas. Keep us posted please on Lucy. Vivian

Hi Sue cute drawing and Merry Xmas to all of you from me. Vivian

Hello I'm so sorry for you & feel your heartache. Alas they can't talk & are very good at hiding their unwellness. Thinking of you. And yes it is Xmas but please don't suppress your feelings cry as much as you like as I'm sure your family will understand. They too are feeling the loss. Other...

Hi Desley I'm sure that kitty from a domestic violence situation would treasure a loving home. I recruit for child protection officers & pets are often the last thought of in such situations. And unfortunately they can't tell us the trauma they've experienced - only their interactions give us a ...

Crewella Daz's eyebrows gorgeous. Vivian

Hi Missey Wanda, Kay & Crewella have words which express everything. Hopefully Their words & thoughts will provide you some comfort as they did for me. Thinking of you. Post whatever you're feeling. People here are so non-judgemental only comforting & supporting. Vivian

Hi Helen I'll say a little prayer that they go to this family especially in the light that one of their fur babies was 23! Hope you & yours (human & kitties) have a safe & merry Xmas. This goes for everyone. Vivian

Hi Joe thanks for the pics especially on my Xmas Eve. They're gorgeous. Hope you'll be able to post one with Milla with her babies. Wishing you & yours a safe & merry Xmas. Vivian

My heart goes out to you. Take what comfort you can knowing that you will be given all the support & understanding from the feline lovers on this site. Do you have family for Xmas? I hope so. I don't but a family friend & I are going camping Xmas day & Boxing Day which I'm grateful for. ...

Hi Desley re: your neighbour its you who's looking for a companion not your neighbour. My advice is to go by your own inner voice which is always right on the mark. Good luck. Keep us posted. Vivian

I'm a really new member not quite a month and I live in Australia but something drew me to this site. I've really appreciated the support fellow cat lovers have given me. Welcome. And a nice time to join & meet new like minded folks. Vivian

I'm thinking of you all. How long will you be away for and is it possible to take Bob with you if it doesn't stress him? Just an idea & I really don't know how feasible it is. Keep us updated. Vivian

Hi Mark depends where your Aunt Jackie lives on the Gold Coast. To Broadbeach (say the middle of the GC) about a 40 min drive via M1 from where Deb & I live which is halfway from Goldie to Brisbane city. Please let her know about Little Paws Kitten Rescue and if she can help you can let me know....

Hi Mary I used one of the links Yogi posted, resized it & downloaded Mayday's pic to my Picture folder & uploaded it from the folder. A couple of the others I tried mentioned something about forums accepting images from 'remote sites'. Perhaps that's the problem with Flicker. I'm no IT perso...

Hi folks pls see mypost on rescue & rehoming. I thought that was the most appropriate place. Topic is Little Paws Kitten Rescue Qld Australia! A result of my visit to Deb today CATASTIC in the words of Crewella. Vivian.

My visit to Deb @ LPCR has resulted in me helping her in 2016. I'm starting. 4-day week as of 6/1/16 & the following Wed I'll be going to her place to do paperwork associated with kitties adopted - microchips & vacs which she said would be a great help to her. Also Deb told me I'm welcome th...
