 |  |  |  | I have been a cat-caregiver for 30-odd years, and I have always (sort of sneakily) known in my heart that they are my children (I never had any human children)..... this has never been openly expressed by me....but, of course, when any of my cats died or had to be put to sleep, I suffered, believe me, I suffered....
One day last week I lost Tambolina....she did not come to my call, did not come in at meal times...just did not come in....she was gone....I put up with the mounting fear and tension for as long as I could....then I broke down and started wailing and crying and repeating over and over again: 'I need her....I need her...I need her'...
Perhaps in some strange, psychological way, she is MY mum...!!
PS She turned up.....I had shut her, by mistake, in the cupboard under the stairs....
PPS I just LOVED the post from Hunter's Meouwmy.....about her 'white, fluffy son'. |  |  |  |  |
