If It Ain't Moving.....Then Neither Am I

In Dreams

Alex (and her mom) have been talking about waiting on that special visit from any kitty that leaves us. I've been waiting for Casey to come to me in my dreams.

She hasn't really yet (although I think she left her mark on her ashes box). Last night I dreamt of losing her; not being able to find her. My ex boyfriend was in the dream. In real life, he's known Casey since I brought her home. He was in the dream and I remember calling out to Casey and a cat named Princess. When I woke up I recalled that Casey's mom's name was Princess. My niece would feed the stray/feral cat in the area that they lived. She called her Princess. When Princess had kittens - Casey was one of them which I brought home. In my dream Princess was a white cat. I'm going to get in touch with my niece to find out what color was Princess because I don't remember.

So...even though in my dream I didn't see Casey, I think in time, I will.

Casey the Cat Leaves One Last Scratch Mark

Hi! I'm writing this in Casey's Diary:

So I got my new pink stroller yesterday and this morning Dad started to put my stroller together. He had to stop because he couldn't find one little washer. So mom went to the hardware store to find one little washer but she couldn't find the exact size so she left because she had to pick up Casey's ashes at the vet.

Mom came home upset because the nice little box that had Casey's ashes in it had a scratch on it. *sigh* mom started to cry when she brought the box inside the house. She showed us the nice name plate and then she pointed out the scratch on the box. I told mom not to cry because Casey always scratched mom when she was a little kitten....and then after that when she was a cat...and then after that and after that some more.

So maybe that was just Casey's way of leaving mom a remembrance of her -- one more little scratch mark for mom. That made mom feel better.

Casey has always been a healthy cat. When I suspected that something was wrong, it was in November and I noticed her drinking a lot of water. I had her tested and she had elevated levels that indicated that her kidneys were failing. For ten months we've kept her comfortable and hydrated with fluids and I made sure she ate as much as she could to keep her weight up.

We went thru our ups and downs but they were really not bad at all. Casey has always been a healthy indoor cat. The only time she was at the vet was when once she was in our backyard and a Tom cat got a hold of her and fought with her. Her wounds needed attention. Other than that she's never been any trouble at all. So what small issues we experience with her were nothing.

The cats on caster educated me to what was happening to Casey. The advice I got from Alex - Sweet Angel Girl was wonderful and it helped me give Casey 10 more months to live. When the fluids and the b12 didn't work this time around and she stopped eating I knew the fight was over and Casey was ready to make her journey.

I loved her so much and I know I gave her the best life I could give her. She was born wild and I rescued her from the streets at four months old. She held onto that toughness for many years and as she got older she let it go but in the end it was me who had to get tough and fight the fight for her to stay healthy and comfortable. In the end it was me who had to be strong enough to go thru the pain of letting her go.

Thank you all for your love and support and special thanks to Alex Sweet Girl.
