This may be very true Jane. On the other hand it has crossed my mind that I personally am being taught some kind of lesson about the need to be sad. My mom passed away last year after a horrible 5 years of Alzheimer's. The final two years she was in a nursing home and the deterioration over

It's clear you were the best daughter any mother could hope to have, Lynne. I'm so sorry for the pain that you and your mother went through. Life can be so hard, and so very hard to make sense of, especially when our loved ones suffer so terribly. I understand what you're saying about knowing you

I hear 'on the other hand' very clearly Lynne and you are so right. I suppose the only generalization to be made is that we care for these kitties deeply and they teach us what we need to know. I am sure the recent loss of your mother and the devastation of battling Alzheimer's has left you raw.

Your email made me chuckle Laurie! My Tiger does that--throws up after eating. He does gobble--basically his goal is to eat EVERYONE'S food. I've had to separate the dishes. I think it's comfort eating, for him. (He's also a wool-sucker.) Kerry -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Lynne, I don't think you're alone in reacting the way you did at your mom's death. I'm sorry that she, and you, had to go through 5 years of that kind of hell. My mother died a few years ago, after 3 years in a nursing home, and at the end was so far from what she had been a few years before

I wonder if you could get sheep or goat's milk and make your own yogurt. I had a yogurt maker at one time but donated it. It seemed easy enough to make though, I just had no reason to make any. On 2/15/08, Marylyn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: If he doesn't eat it immediately let it warm

Kerry, I do the same thing with Lennie, give him the time he demands. I'll be reading the paper and suddenly he wants to sleep on my lap. I think I can count the times he's sat on me during his 19 years. He's a guys cat. Always preferred my son, then when he moved away, my husband. I would
