Recently we’ve had to say goodbye to two of our furbabies.

Winks, our almost 7-yr-old boy kitty, and Buttons, our 3-1/2-yr-old Norwegian Forest Cat, have disappeared. Winks has been missing for 5 weeks and Buttons for 2. Unfortunately, we think they encountered a farm predator during an outdoor adventure. I’m holding out hope that one or both will show up at the front door but ……
I know Sylvester, Winks’ brother and littermate, is somewhat upset that he can’t find his brother. He’ll sit in a corner and wail – I think that breaks my heart more than Winks not being here because there’s nothing we can do to help/comfort Sylvester.
Overall, the other two cats seem to be doing okay. After Buttons disappeared, Sassy Lou kept to herself for a few days, but is better now. Buttercup, the kitten, seems the least affected of the bunch.
I don’t mean this to sound heartless, but in a way, I’m thankful that they disappeared and we didn’t have to deal with a sickness or an accident like being hit by a car. It’s been easier for us to adjust and the grief hasn’t been as strong. (We lost a dog suddenly last year when she was hit by a car. Definitely don’t want to go through that again!)

I’m sorry for your cats. I absolutely adore cats. (Highly allergic, though.) However, pretty please be careful with the titles of your posts… I was all panicked that you were leaving the blogging world and my relief that you weren’t overshadowed my sorrow for your cats.
