Can things get any worse?????

I got a call from my friend Clare's daughter. She said Clare fell, hit her head and died.

This woman was 97 years old and didn't look a day over 70. She had a heart of gold and would give you the shirt off her back. Not to mention the skin like a baby's behind.

Bonnie told me she has a problem because of Clare's two kitties. They're old (17 and 16). I IMMEDIATELY told her they are now mine (am I outta my mind or what????). Wanna know why they are now mine? Because they are Mollie Rose's sister and Mama!!!!!

Bonnie said she is SO relieved, because she couldn't take them. She runs a bed and breakfast and they can't go out.

She told me she'd make arrangements for someone to meet me after Clare's services.

She was one hell of a lady and I loved her dearly. And I thought this year would be better.

Right.

I am so sorry for your loss. But am so glad you can give these two lost souls a loving home after losing their most charished person.

But I can bet that Clare would approve of both the way she "went" - quickly, not a lot of suffering, and that her two kitties would live out their days with you, who already love them.

Blessings come in strange ways sometimes. I hope your current kitties accept these two ladies graciously.

I am so relieved that they will be with me and I will still have Mollie's bloodline. I made a mistake in their ages (my mind hasn't exactly been all there). The 17 year old is Miss Barn Kitty (Mollie's mama) and the 16 year old, Freckles, is Mollie's sister.

I am blubbering like an idiot and can't stop. This has got to be THE worst birthday EVER!!!!! I want to sleep through it but can't sleep.

Seems like MooShoo might have had a paw in this, as tragic as it may be. He's sending you a birthday gift to brighten your spirit. See - he's still with you and taking care of his Meowmie.

My daughter pissed me off ROYALLY!!! When I called her to tell her about Clare and about the cats, her remark was "You don't need anymore damn cats!" I told her, "I'm doing it, I'm the Mother, so deal with it!!" Then I hung up. I'm tired of explaining myself to this kid. She forgets who the mother is in this scenario.

Donna - I am so amazed at you thinking nothing of taking those dear cats in, in spite of your horrible loss of Moo, and then of your dear friend Clare.

My prayer is that in a year from now, you can get some peace from looking at Mollie Rose's mom and sister, and that they will be a wonderful gift to you.

Donna, tell her to ZIP IT!! What you do is no concern to her.You're giving a very good home to a couple of very sweet kitties who would otherwise have none. I'm positive that Mooshoo has his sweet paw in this!

You are such a wonderful and compassionate person to be doing this. Those two kitties are very lucky you are there for them altho it is sad they lost their mommy.
