Quiet, So Quiet

Events of 9th July 2015

It's amazing how the absence of a cat is felt through everything you do.

Having Hugo distracted me greatly from the absence I'm now feeling.

I don't have morning purrs and cuddles with Leo anymore.
I don't have him tapping me on the arm for my attention.
I don't have his wide variety of trills and meows following me around throughout the day.
I don't have him greeting me at the back door when I get home from work.
I don't have him sneaking closer to my legs at night for warmth.

He's just gone. And the silence is deafening.

Thankfully I'm not lacking in cuddles. I still have three weenies and they're supplying me with the usual stress that comes with fostering.

Wanda & Wally cuddling with Dad
Their poop and appetite had improved enough to be given the freedom to run and play in the lounge making the silence not quite so deafening.

YAAAY Free Play!!! ~ Willow

Wally being cheeky 
Siblings spatting over top spot
Wally found the perfect use for the track balls' loops
Willow not sure what to do first...
I mean, we do still have Terra, but for her size she's silent as a mouse and often off doing her own thing. She has one love in her life and that's my brother, the rest of us will sometimes be okay to hang with but his lap is the one she always wants.

BOX!!!!!! ~ Wanda
The free roam in the lounge didn't last long for the kittens.

Willow and Wally put me through the ringer with vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite but nothing outstandingly wrong with them. This is where hindsight came in and I'd begun to wish I'd kept Winnifred for a few weeks longer.

We're hoping a course of wormer will clear up the symptoms.

I think they knew I needed a distraction and went all out. *sigh*

  1. Each time I have lost a cat, I have been very glad of having fosters in the house to distract me
