I think the same of your cats,I never met them ,but feel like I lost them when you did. Copycat really touched me the most, as he never enjoyed your love,he had love from you ,but not like the other cats and he deserved so much more.he was just warming up to you when you lost him. I think of Ellie too,I lost her at 4 months and this has really affected me...

Perhaps everyone has the one cat they found out about that really touches them and/or was the 1st to do so.


You know, I always said how sad it was when someone lost their pet. I knew it was, but not really. As I said in my reply to Zookers post back then "I can only at this point imagine how much it hurts to lose your best friend..." and I always made it a point to say that or something like it, for I had not lost one yet. Well, now I know and it sucks more than I ever could have imagined. It really does.


It was very sad about Copycat, I agree. To this day I still play "what if I..." games with him, and that is just stupid. I did what I could, and nothing short of Gods had could have saved him. Still it hurts.


You may remember that after he left us, I saw the little orange cat outside that I thought resembled Copycat in build and head shape. THe orange cat always ran away from me. I kept trying to meet him though. As winter hit he began to come to the deck more and more and trust me. As is well known, Nova now is one of our family. His fur grew LONG in the winter, JUST like Copycats did. I like to imagine he is one of Copycats children. I also like to think he trusted me because Copycat told him we always fed him and kept him warm. And I know Nova is happy here. He loves to lay with me on my lap and beside me. He loves to be held and to lay int he bathroom as I shower. ANd he likes to walk up to me and talk to me. So in some small way, perhaps I am helping Copycat still, though his son.

Oh Chris... I was meaning to tell you...


One of the regulars from my websites messageboard and one of the ones who posted to you here when she hears about Ellie, Peggy... One of her cats had to be put to sleep last week. Binky Baby was her name. I guess it just never stops, does it. :(

I believe too that Nova is part of Copycat and I am so glad he came to you. You are a great person and we need more like you! I have cried many hrs of my losses and also of yours.
