Until one has loved an animal, part of the soul remains unawakened

Happy Cat Lady

Sep 10, 2015

It’s been a busy day watching our dozen or so entertaining friends swimming in the Fish Tank! We were frightened a bit last week when CatMom started emptying out all the water. What was she going to do with our fishies? But, the Monk came to the rescue and brought in another temporary home for them, while the large tank was emptied.

I enjoy counting them, but always get confused! There are more than twelve, I am sure! Maybe less than 20. The new borrowed aquarium is so lovely! We, all three of us, cannot fit together in front of it, like we did on the bench that was in front of the larger aquarium. The Monk and CatMom emptied the big one completely now and we are sad to see it go. They said something about a leak. But the fishies don't seem to mind their new smaller home.

My favorite fish is the Oranda. I named her Splash! She has a huge red hat she wears atop her head. It is difficult to tell how she stays afloat! She seems so top heavy. The Monk says he is going to make fresh sushi, and we all get very interested. But, I know he is just joking around.

First Dowager Queen, Keli

Isn't she the most beautiful cat you have ever seen? I am broken hearted that she is gone. She was born in my hands and died in my arms. Any posts made on this blog from this point on will be my own. Well, unless she speaks to me from beyond the grave! Oh my Darling Clementine. You are gone and lost forever.... August 26, 1989 - March 18, 2009

About the Original Dowager Queen

She was considered dead before birth. She was the last kitten in the litter, still left in her mother's womb. No sign of contractions. Mama cat (Gypsy) was taken to the emergency vet who pronounced "dead kitten" and gave her a shot of pitocin. The vet said if the kitten was not expelled in 3 hours she would have to return for an emergency C-section or Gypsy would die. Within 3 hours contractions produced my living, breathing Calico Kitten, Keli, who has been with me nearly 20 years.
