BROKIE & SAYIF (R.I.P. - 12th of June 08)
YaadPyar:
The pics are wonderful Jude. Thanks. You continue to do a wonderful thing with these lovlies.

Brokie & Sayif are going to be so spoiled! Glad they are doing ok and you sound like you're doing better too. The important thing now is to carry on & look to the future, spoiling those two rotten - as they deserve ;D

My cat died alone in one night. I knew she had cancer and I felt it when the time had come to bring it to an end. I made an appointment with my vet for the next day, because on this very day I had no one I could have brought my children to (and sure I couldn't take them with me). She didn't make it to the next morning. She died in that night alone. She went out of the house, laid down in our barn and died.
I felt so guilty that I didn't put her down the day before or at least stayed by her through the night. I felt I should have managed it to find someone to look after the children, I should have asked more people.
Today I still am sad about the death of my cat and I still ask myself if I did right by her. But I can think of her without tearing up. The sadness and doubts will perhaps never vanish completely, but with time they will lessen and the happy memories will come to the foreground.

Chrissi, this is a very sad story indeed! But you couldn't know when exactly she would go. I understand your doubts and the guilt and like you said, it will get easier with time. I can talk about Sama' and Sahaba now, but I still can't bring myself to look at their pictures. I have a little film of Sahaba, but none of Sama' which I will always regret. I think we do have to know that our pets must have known we cared for them, otherwise they wouldn't have stayed. I am happy to see Brokie and Sayif climbing the fence to go stroll about and come back to me. To me! So this means, they must like me a little. Actually I think Brokie hissed at Sahaba and was very distant for a while, to show me she was pissed off.. Now she's even started to purr!! She didn't purr once until about last week-end or so. Sayif still doesn't (except when he drinks from his mum then his little 'purring engine' starts).. He is becoming very very 'cuddly' (sometimes I don't even know how to get rid of him.. ;D), but he hasn't once purred with me so far..
More pictures (I have a problem with tinypic.com today, so I'll attach them): Sayif is getting big(!). He's almost as big as Brokie. Brokie is very thin.. I have to make sure Sayif doesn't eat all the food, 'cause Brokie often just watches him eat, waiting for her turn (even though I have 2 bowls)..

Jude, I'm always stunned by your pics. This one is so beautiful because of it's symmetry. And cute as always. Seeing it, I'd like to cuddle together with them instantly.
My cat was not allowed in our bed. At least not officially. But when she managed to sneak in, I never threw her out. Couldn't. Too cute.
