My one and only now is young at age two and healthy, but I no longer take that for granted after losing one of my last two to FIP at age 5.

It's because we love them so much, and because we are not the sort of people who won't have cats because cats eventually die and that's too hard. We know it's unbelievably hard, too, but we're not going to favor that over the rest of the journey: all the years of loving them and enjoying all they have to give and all we get to give back.

With Boo turning 15 on the 1st and my other two seniors creeping up on their 16th birthdays (that I know of) I have this same sense of dread. Boo, PIng & Jinx all came to me together as a trio, I just pray I don't lose them that way too. I have no way of knowing their ages but I've had them with me since 2004 and they weren't kittens when they arrived. They could all be close to 18 for all I know. So the youngest they are is 15-16. Annabelle is already 6. Your Muffin is so beautiful and what a lovely depiction of the love she obviously has for you as well.ANGEL ABBYGRACEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777233381092226583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859669.post-63897993811136671872018-10-03T11:36:29.546-04:002018-10-03T11:36:29.546-04:00I'm another one who can relate all to well - a...I'm another one who can relate all to well - and try to use these moments to let my girls know how much I appreciate them.
