I couldnt imagine my life without cats. I made a promise to my dearest Lucy ( the cat love of my life)on her death I would not have another pusscat. However a little lady called Miss Ellie May came into my life shortly after that and I think she is Lucy reincarnate. Sometmes she looks at me and its the same dreamy look Lucy lou used to have , she also enjoys being carried like a stoll around my shoulders - the same, If I step on her I say accident and she understands the same. So I broke my promise to Lucy ( recently I found a diary I kept of the pain I felt when she died, how desolate I felt and alone) I too thought the pain would never ease or fade but it does, the ones Ive lost live on in my head and my heart. I now have over 15 cats ( 4 moggies including Miss Ellie) My heart goes out to anyone who has lost an animal love, to me there is no greater loss. Im better able to cope now but it hurts like hell at first.I would say to anyone , dont deny yourself anything in life , its not the rehearsal.
