Our Life With McGoohan

[beatcamel]

McGoohan we got when she was a kitten. One of Hannah's friend's cats had given birth, we had talked about wanting to get a cat and when we found out, we put in a request to pick one out. We had to wait seven weeks, the kittens need to stay with their mom and learn about the litter box, then we went over to the house on Cemetery Road in Hadley, a

I got the jist of the entry a few days ago (maybe a week, I don't remember) and it's just been sitting in a Firefox window open and me knowing I have to read it because it's something really important and me not wanting to read it because I love my kitties in the same way you guys love yours.

I wish there was something magical I could say that could make it better but I know I can't. People who don't have cats don't understand how attached to them we get. I remember once a girl I used to work with, her dog ran away and people without pets were kinda like "big deal" and the people with pets would go to her desk and send her notes and everything till her dog came back. People without pets just don't get it.

Anyway, not really sure what to write, I just wanted to say this was a beautiful piece of writing and it made me cry. Sounds like Magoo was an awesome kitty and I admire you for doing the right thing instead of making her suffer through tests and stuff.

Cats all have personalities and are wonderful. Sounds like the three years you had with Nico were amazing and I'm sorry you couldn't have more.

So yeah, rambling me out. If I was religious or something, I'd say a prayer or whatever, but I agreed with what you said about her body: it was just a shell.

So I guess hugs to you and Hannah and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.

Thanks. The more we hear from people, the better we feel, it's nice to know we're not alone.

I was talking to some friends tonight and told them about Magoo's name and they thought it was awesome. They are also cat people and we chatted about how awesome it is to have them.
