Talk about a pointless thread.....

[rg_girlca]

My goodness, there is far from being a pointless thread.
I totally understand how you feel about your Tex having just loosing my heart kitty Katie last month. You say you haven't really had the time to grieve for Tex with everything going on with precious Sammy, well since Sammy is doing so well, I think now is the time to let it all out. When you are alone in your home, take a picture of Tex and let him know how much you miss him and how much he meant to you. Cry like you never cried before. This is what I did about a week after my Katie girl was gone. It helped me some and I pray that it will help you also.
You will know when the time is right to welcome Tex home.
I had a hard time also coming back to Cat General, but I figured if I didn't do it soon, I wouldn't be able to come back for a long time. Debbie, T & P's Mom, was the one who helped me with this. She said it helped her to jump back on the wagon when her precious Tubby passed on, and believe me, it helped me also.
I still have LES when I see other tabbies and you will also when you see other tuxies, but it does get easier with time. Your tears will be replaced by smiles just thinking of the wonderful memories you had with your beloved Tex.
In regards to Georgie, you definitely did the right thing. You loved her enough to do what was best for her. It sounds like she is quite comfortable being at Grammy's and you will still be able to see her.
Sorry this is so long, but my heart goes out to you.

Debbie, T & P's Mom, was the one who helped me with this. She said it helped her to jump back on the wagon when her precious Tubby passed on, and believe me, it helped me also.

Awww....gee, Lorraine, I'm so glad I could help. It hurt horribly at first, but then one day a picture of a certain goofy PT kitty made me smile. Catlover4evers adorable orangie Abner is the one that brought the first smile to my face after Tubby died, and somehow I think it's more than coincidence that CJ looks so much like Abner!

Jo, I know it's hard, but like Lorraine says, now that things have calmed down a bit with Samantha and you know Georgia is settled in, maybe it's time to grieve properly for Tex - it will help you to move past that step of the grieving process.

Johanna, I am so sorry that you are grieving so much still. It seems so many of us here lately have lost our extra special "heart" kitties. This month was the 1st anniversary of my Tucker Man's passing as well. It still hurts just as badly, and I could have really fallen back into a depression, but I had to just grieve a day or two and let it go.

It sounds like you did what was best for Georgia too, if she is happy then don't beat yourself up over it. Some times we just have to make drastic changes for the best of our entire crew. I have had to rehome a few of mine from time to time, and I do understand the guilt that comes along with it. However, when I later receive news on how well they are doing, and how they have settled into their new homes, it makes it all worthwhile, and I know I did the right thing.

Please hang around .... I really feel bad about starting up my B&W cats page again, I can't but feel that this has stirred up some negative feelings for you.

Johanna, I really miss your Tex and Kim's Tucker and Debbie's Tubby too.
I'm sorry that it has been hard for you to post here lately.
I think Georgia will be fine and she's still a part of the family, just not in your house anymore.
I would love to hear about your other kitties, like an update on Minnie and how brave she is now and I don't think I have seen more than one photo of your newest kitty Gus.
I would also love to hear an update on your sweet boy Jonah too.
Pet Talk should be a happy place for you, where you can see cute photos that will make you smile.
Sending hugs your way. (Samantha sends headbumpies to you too)
