I am so sorry................

[Prairie Purrs]

I need to offer apologies here to Kym and Jas, for not reacting quickly enough to spare them from having to take care of Katie and Cricket at the end. Frankly, I was in complete shock and denial after Kym's first call, and I didn't know what was happening, and it happened so fast. My confusion and slow reaction cost me the chance to say goodbye to my girls, and I'll never forgive myself for that.

No apologies necessary Penny, I was honored to care for the girls, and I am still honored that they warmed up and became a part of this family. If even for a short time. Katie had Catitude! and Cricket became the best bud of a small boy, even to sharing his cheetos.

I truly felt that with them being sent home to be cared for they had a fighting chance, I wish we had answers, but I am grateful that everyone else is fine, that the bloodwork on them came back normal. We may never know what took the girls, but I do know they were loved and cherished their entire lives. Thank you for letting us be a part of their lives. Our lives are better for having known them.

How sad for both sides involved. I cannot imagine being in either of your places, except that I do have Ally cat, and for all she's done, I would hate to have something happen to her.

I hope the vet can figure out what happened, and at least ease your minds that it won't happen to any of the other cats in the home. That would just be horrible.

Play hard at the bridge girls, and keep an eye out on your meowmie... she's having a rough time right now.

Thank you for that.

Kiri (who's still slowly recovering) jumped onto the bed last night and--for the first time ever in her 13 years--curled up on my upturned hip as I lay on my side. My RB Keke always used to do that, and that was Katie's preferred sleeping spot as well. I didn't know whether Kiri was delivering a message from Katie or whether she was telling me that she's going to be the next to go to the Bridge.

I've tried to do my best for them all, but I'm just not handling things well. I'm pretty much a zombie at this point.

I'm so sorry for your loss, Penny. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Thank you. The shock is very slowly wearing off, and I'm kind of losing it today.

I'm so very very sorry for the tragedy and heartbreak you and the wonderful Drs. Goodnow have been through. My very deepest sympathy.

Hugs with tears,
