Subject: Re: Wendy & touching base
here
That's a great update! Wowie!!!!!!!
Hi
everyone...
It's been a while since I've had time to read through
FeLVtalk posts and actually sit down and chat with all of you
since I
introduced myself and Brooklyn to you all a few months ago, but things have
calmed down a bit and I wanted
to touch base and say hello and that I
haven't forgotton about all the wonderful pieces of advice, encouragement
and
support you gave me when Brooklyn first came into my
life.
Before I go ahead with what's been going on here, I wanted to
say Wendy I am so sorry to hear about Cricket and the
difficult time you
have had with his passing. I can understand how you feel. Have you ever
visited the rainbow bridge
website? There are a lot of poems and also
forums and literature for people who are mourning the loss of their animal
friends. Maybe that will help you a little bit. I am not sure why you
think Cricket would be angry at you as I did not
read the beginning of
the story, but if you loved him even half as much as comes through in your
email, I am SURE
that a lifetime of things you did for him and the love
you gave him was more than enough to overcome anything you
could have
done to cause him to be angry with you. Animals are very forgiving. They
have a capacity to forgive more
than any human being I have ever known.
My gosh, when I was medicating Brooklyn he HATED me so much, but
would
forgive me so shortly after and still loves me even after that whole
traumatic period and he trusts me too. I
wish you all the best in your
journey towards healing and obtaining closure with Cricket and his passing.
I'm here if
you need someone to talk to as I'm sure everyone else is
too.
Brooklyn has become known around our home as "Wowie". I just
started calling him this because when he meows he
actually sounds like
he is saying "WOW" and it kind of stuck. Brooklyn is still his formal name,
but round here we call
him Wowie. lol. He responds very well to it. As
some of you may know, he is my first experience with a cat ever. I
never
knew a thing about cats or their personality, but heard so many people say
they didn't like cats. I'd heard they
were stand offish and
unpredictable, but hey there are people who are like that too, so I guess
it's all about
personality. Well, as for Wowie, I can say, he has NO
problem expressing his affection, playfulness and love towards
me and my
dogs. He is the mushiest cat I can imagine. He is so full of purrs, just
when he is near me, I don't even
have to touch him. Apparently, he does
believe that my life revolves around him (ok maybe it does but he doesnt
have to KNOW that...lol) because when I get up, he thinks I get up for
the purpose of feeding him, when I get home
from work he thinks I'm
coming home because he needs food. The second I come into view, he runs to
the kitchen
counter and waits and meows for me to feed him. As if to say
"I'm here waiting...as soon as you're ready."lol.
He hasn't shown any
signs of illness or anything that would lead me to believe he had any
illness or condition at all.
He has been robust and healthy and boy oh
boy is he playful and cute. I've heard people say that cats are
unresponsive..uh uh not this one! He comes 90% of the time when I call
him...better than the dogs! AND he answers
me to let me know he's on his
way. "Wowie!!!" and I make kissing noises...then I hear his bell jingling
and just as he
enters the room i hear "Wowww" and he hops on the bed
next to me, walks over nuzzles me, marks me, rolls on me,
kneads me,
walks all over me and even licks me. What does that mean when a cat licks
you? Purring is nonstop when
he does this. He's a big purrer. lol. and
he purrs loud!
Anyhow I'm sorry for my rambling and my banter about
all this, I'm still a new cat person and am learning about him
every
day. I read some books on cat behavior to try and learn but he surprises me
every day with something new. I
love him so much. His appetite is
TREMENDOUS. I am absolutely in love with this cat 100%. Remember when I
wasn't sure whether he would stay or not? How could I even question it!
lol.
Anyhow, thats the update on Brooklyn/Wowie. I hope I didn't put
you all to sleep with my novel. Hope all is very well
with everyone. Oh
and Michelle...thanks for dropping me a line!
Hugs
Rebecca &
Brooklyn "Wowie"
