Can you even have a library without a cat?

I don't often like to get personal on here. It's a blog about books! Y'all are here for the book love, not so much the random hijinks that happen at my house. I'm having a hard time digging up the bookish goodness today, though. Had to say goodbye to my favourite book-warming buddy (because, well, he didn't exactly read them but he did love to

<3 My condolences to you. I'm going to hug my own furry bookwarmers in tribute.

They like to lie on my kindle and hide it completely. I can't tell you how many times I've gone looking for it and the end result is me digging underneath a furry fat belly.

Mine love to sleep on the remote controls (or on the newspaper when I want to read it) and if I had a kindle I'd expect that would prove very popular.

I am so sorry to hear this. Cats are very special beings.

I am deeply in sympathy with you. My family has never in the last 20 years had fewer than 3 cats at any given point in time. I used to have 3 myself--the third was a kitten that my husband brought home from a hunting trip last fall (He's the only man I know who can go out hunting wild hogs and bring home a half-feral cat. She just...attached herself to him, and wouldn't let go.) We named her Stella (for some reason, she reminded me of Stella from Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire) and she was my cuddle buddy. The instant I sat down anywhere, she was immediately on me. Then, after we'd had her in our lives about 6 months, she just...died. It was sad. It was my kids' first real experience with death of a soul they were close to. We're not sure what happened to her. But we have two older cats still to love on and play with, so we're making it through.

I'm so sorry for your loss. {hugs} I've said goodbye to so many furry companions, there are too many stories to share. But it never gets easier.
