Can things get any worse?????

[Karen]

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, it's true that your friend would most likely have wanted to go like she did - and taking her cats is simply meant to be. Like you say, you have a little bit of Molly Rose.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your heart kitty, Mooshoo.

Things WILL get better!

(((hugs)))

Bonnie said she was sure her mom would be relieved that the cats would be with me. I'm glad they have such faith in me.

Hey, what's another poop in the box, right???

[phesina]

I'm so sorry, Donna, to read about yet another loss for you. You've really been walloped with them lately. More big hugs.

That is wonderful that you will have her kitties (family members of yours already!) to look after. Surely MooShoo had a paw in this..

And good for you telling your daughter off the way you did!

[orangemm]

First of all, I'm so sorry you have lost a dear friend. It's a heartbreaking loss for you and I know your heart is sad.

But what a loving tribute to your dear friend to willingly and happily accept these two senior ladies into your home. We should all be such good friends to those we love and care about.

Bless you, Donna.

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!

I recently saw a lady with a t-shirt that said: "I'M THE MOM.. THAT'S WHY!"

That's all you moms need to remember.. got that?!

In other words, WELL DONE, Donna!

[Alysser]

Moosmom, I'm so sorry all this is happening on your birthday. I really am. I think you're doing a great thing for Clare by taking her kitties for her, a great way to keep her memory alive.

I'm so sorry to hear of your friend and bless you for taking in her cats

Your daughter just loves you and is worried about you taking on more lives and more mouths to feed. Please don't be too harsh with her. It's not anger or hatred that is motivating her. it's just concern for you. she loves you.
