its cold & snowing out but mrs. unis
(subhadra, miss puddles, funny girl, princess, bella)
has a beautiful forever home & we absolutely adore & worship her.
she is TEENSY TINY (maybe 4lbs?) @ 13mos old but super long & ferret-y.
shes like a little puff of fluffy furry black & white whipped
cream & boy does she have an attitude (except when shes being
sweet & cuddly - which is most of the time) or losing
her mind like a kitty HO cause shes in heat or marking her
new territory by showing us where the sweet lemonade is made:
she will be getting fixed ASAP (TOMORROW!) so we do not have to resort to beating her.
(shes peed on every one of her tart shells (kitty beds), perches, in a few corners & by the front door)
she sleeps on our chests, plays with toys, eats with her hands like a raccoon & is just a precious little thing filled with love.
they told us she might be antisocial or skitty for a while but NOPE!
out of the carrier & owned the whole apt (& us!) immediately.
when shes got the crazies, she makes the most amazing gloria swanson/sunset blvd face!!
btw: i FUCKING HATED inglorious basterds.
WTF? hitler DIES?
i get it was a movie but man!! fucking cheapass motherfucker couldnt
even write a decent ending to what up til then wasnt too bad of a movie.
oh well. @ least i didnt pay to see it in the theater.
i absolutely would have demanded my $ back.
jim made a painting of figgy & me for xmess.
its so beautiful i cry sometimes when i look @ it.
:)

mostly ive just been wanting to die.
massive amts of xanax, klonopin & temezapam are kind of helping
by knocking me the fuck out a lot (im hoping the sleep cure works).
when im awake, its pretty messy. probably doesnt help im OTR right now.
my face feels like sandpaper from crying/sniffling/burts bees/kleenex...
repeat endlessly.
figs perches & beds & litterbox all got put in the basement the day after.
i gave his toys & dishes to mandys kitty & his food to miss shadow downstairs.
i could not stand to see that shit sitting around unused for even one second.
it was killing me.
i wake up thinking hes sleeping by my feet & i think i hear him snoring.
the worst is coming back home from somewhere out cause my heart still does
that little leap thinking YAY im going to see him again in a few minutes!!
but then i realize that im not.
he was my best friend & my baby & the light of my life & my treasure cat.
we buried him next to poustaki by the temple wall.
its strange that i hadnt been taking pix of him lately
or journaling or anything... all we'd been doing is cuddling:
id be working on a project or reading or messing with the plants
& hed be right by my side. watching tv, he was cuddled up over
my shoulder. i was so busy enjoying LIVING, i didnt want to take
even a second away from it to stop & do anything else.
i dont know if thats coming out right...?
we still have no idea what was wrong with him & never will i guess.
i suppose it was just his time (altho theres a part of me that kind of doesnt really accept that idea)
& now hes wherever good(&bad) kitties go with tons of slow fat mice,
rivers of milk & all the tuna, cheese & ice cream a kitty can eat.
its strange to me that i dont really seriously speculate on *our* afterlife
but feel completely assured that all animals have a wonderful one.
this is the 1st time in almost 20 yrs that ive been without @ least 1 cat in my house.
it is extremely unpleasant & horribly quiet.
today, instead of committing suicide, i did errands
that couldnt be put off anymore. while i was out, i ended
up stopping @ the pet store cause mandy called & said she thinks
jiv jago (the pretty [formerly] stray tabby who now lives with
her out in farmington) might have barfed up some worms.
the minute i walked into petco to find worm meds, i nearly flipped:
the gorgeous longhaired girl tuxie id seen back in the spring
& thought about adopting then was STILL FUCKING THERE!!!
(ive had her picture in my phone since the 1st time i saw her
& only didnt adopt her then cause 1. they said shed probably do
best in a single cat home & 2. fig really seemed to enjoy being
an only kitty)
according to the lady who runs the rescue, she was RETURNED by
a couple who kept her CRATED a LOT & she came back a little skitty
& kind of antisocial. i asked if i could take her out & interact
with her so we went into a weird dark little room. she was growly
but curious & not mean, just wary.
the rescue lady said if i want her, shes mine.
no adoption fees, nothing. just make up my mind & take her home.
my heart aches every second of every minute of every day for fig
but i think im going to be bringing those perches back up tomorrow.
CRACKED OUT NIP ADDICT BITES THE SHIT OUT OF A LEG & THEN CURLS UP & GETS POKED WITH TEASING STICK!
thanx for all the sweet words & the kind thoughts for fig.
i know he was so loved by ppl who never even met him & the knowledge that he
brought joy to even one person (not to mention TONS) is just fucking awesome.

he died this morning around 6am.
he was FINE FINE FINE all day yesterday, playing, being figgy & then like
1030-11pm, he started acting a little weird & was kind of unsteady on his feet.
i called the er vet & eventually took him in @1130pm
after watching him for a while & seeing that he wasnt
acting like his usual self.
they took blood & did tests on it, took xrays & nothing came up.
his temp kept dropping tho & they had no idea why.
when i took him in it was 96 which is a lot lower than it should be i guess.
they said for me to go home @330am & that they would call if anything changed.
the dr said he had maybe a seizure or something, he was
yoweling & biting the cage so they gave him a little valium.
after they took his temp @ 5 & it was 92 even tho he was on warming blankets
& was getting IV fluids, they called me to come back & decide whether to let
him go or not.
i didnt have to decide...he died while i petted him just minutes after i got there.
my house is not a home without figgy
& im not sure what to do. |
