My arms are once again full.

Recently I was able to get a 3 month old kitten! She’s mostly orange with some white on her tummy!
I named her Sandy Twyla – ! She is so sweet, and a mommas kitty! 🙂 She got de-clawed and is doing wonderful!

My arms are empty, and I will say it hurts. I loved my sweet baby kitty Shugums, and my cuddly cat Serafina. Yes, I did have a favorite. Shugums was my baby… my baby kitty. She was mine. She loved me, and I loved her. Serafina was the family cat, and one that eventually I couldn’t hold often. From the first day of January to June 23rd, Shugums became even more my baby. She would cuddle with me more, and even sleep on my bed some nights. Before, she had mostly been an independent cat, that cuddled with me on her terms. She liked her alone time, and I would give it to her.
When I euthanized Shugums and then Serafina… I held them. They were in my arms as they passed. The feeling… And then carrying them as they have no life…

My arms ache… I miss them so very much. Momma said that she would be there until the very end… I made good on my word no matter how much it hurt.

I just had to Euthanize this cuddly cat on the 15th.
I didn’t want to, but I had to. I wish with everything I have that I didn’t just have to euthanize both of my sweet kitties. I am not in control, and God saw that it was time… I trust Him. He knows what is best for me now, and in the future. There are many memories that I have, and many more I wanted to make, but that is just not how it was supposed to be.

I will miss both Shugums and Serafina very much.
I pray that in His time, God might bring another special kitty into my life.

Sadly this is my last post about this amazing Kitty that I had for 8 years and 11 days.

I don’t like it when vets try to tell me that front de-clawing a cat is bad for them.
They say things like, It will hurt for them to use the litter box or they won’t be able to climb and use their instincts.
I would just like to say that my cat Shugums proved them wrong.
She loved climbing up gates and never under no circumstances didn’t use the litter box. When I bought her she still had her front claws. While in bed she would play with my feet and it would hurt like crazy. I was thankful when we de-clawed her and she and I could play together so much more. She knew how to grip with those paws and she was just as happy with having front claws and she was without them.

I recently had to put this amazing kitty down due to her most likely having cancer. I miss my sweet Shugums deeply. She was my baby kitty and we had many good times together inside and in our backyard.

Yes, I do plan on getting another kitty, and when I do either it will already be de-clawed or I will de-claw it soon after I get it.

Feel free to ask me questions.

Proud to say, Shugums fur grew back nice and she is doing well!

 

Had to go back to the Vet today. I found more “spots” farther down on her back.

That cat has me so uptight.

So for the past two weeks Shugums has had to have the cone of shame on.

The vet didn’t know what it was, but that it was skin related.

Shugums went back to the vet yesterday and got a good report. She has to keep the cone on for another week to help her fur grow back. (The shaved it just a little to help.)

 This is what it looked like three day before the Vet. We put the cone on to get her to stop biting

 

The one on the right is after they shaved.

The one on the left is from last week, the right is today!

I am so glad she is feeling and looking better!

Is it logical that when I lose some weight, my cat does too…?

It happens all the time. My weight goes up, hers goes up. Mine goes down, hers goes down.

And it is not because of her winter coat, because colder weather is coming and she is 2lbs lighter.

 

Explain that.

Today five years ago I somehow ended up at Petsmart and got a Cat. That idea never popped into my head that morning when I got up. But that night, there was a cat sleeping at the end of my bed!

Shugums has a scintillating personality.  Shugums somehow always knows when I am feeling down and will be near me… even if just for a little while. She will make her presence known.

I thank Dad for letting me get her!
