indoors Arrival Story: I adopted Lucy for my Mom and Dad shortly before my Dad passed away from cancer. Lucy lived with Mom and entertained her for almost a year before Mom got too sick to care for her and then she came to live at my house with Rufus and the two dogs I had at that time. She hated it at first and attacked the dogs but adjusted to us and ended up playing with Madison. Lucy is very opinionated and likes to pick on the others if she can get away with it. The only one she cannot pick on is Sydney, who even though she is the youngest, she seems to be our alpha cat. We didn't know how old she was so I made her first birthday on my Dad's birthday of that year so my Mom would have something positive to think about since Dad was gone. I worry she is really much older than I think she is. In August 2010 she was diagnosed with a tumor - the vet said only a couple of months. So far we are doing pretty good but it's stressful on both of us. It is hard to get her to eat now. Forums Motto: I Want To Be Alone!

I have been at Rainbow Bridge for a whole year now. I visited my mom last night after she went to bed. I come by from time to time and I think she realizes I am still with her. I am actually with my real human mom and dad who passed away before me but I spent much more time with my mom who is still living so I need to stop in from time to time and try to tell her how much I appreciated all she did for me. She always bought me special foods that I liked and she really tried hard to make me comfortable at the end. She was crying last night so I thought I should come and get on the bed and purr as loud as I could so she might hear me. She mumbled something in her sleep so I think she knew it was me.
I received a couple gifts from other kitties yesterday as memorials. I would like to thank them very much. That was very sweet of you.
I had felt SO bad lately. My second mom cries all the time. I have cancer. It was only recently diagnosed. She did everything she could to help me but I finally had enough. Today was the day I said it was time to go live with my first mom, my second mom's mom. I was tired and I hurt and it was so hard to breathe. I know she didn't want me to go but I just told her today I had enough. So my mom took me to ER for an evaluation - she cried so much. The nice doctor agreed that things weren't going to get better and that I was really struggling. I know my mom still didn't want to make the decision, so I took it out of her hands. I started to go while they were waiting. My mom was with me and she cried and said she loved me. And my first mom was there waiting to take me with her. She's been waiting a long time for me to come be with her. And now I have a dad too. I didn't get to spend much time with him because he died the week after I came to live with them. It was his idea that I come live there because he knew he was dying of cancer - just like me. So now we will be a family of 3 and I will be happy and I hope my second mom can be too, knowing that I am finally well and no longer in pain.
My news was not good. I feel better now because the doctor drained fluid from my chest but it is happening because I have a tumor. I felt good enough to eat when I got home tonight which made mom happy but she is sad. You see, the doctor told her I only have a couple of months. Then I will be joining my real mom and dad up in Heaven. My mom promises to do her best for me and make me happy while I am here - meaning lots of good food and hugs. I don't normally like hugs but I really liked them from her today. I'm not really worried about going to Rainbow Bridge but I am worried about my mom. Hopefully I will have enough time to completely prepare her for it. I'm mean enough to stay longer than the doctor figures I will - if anyone can do it - it's me.
