Caturday: Gertrude’s Request
Repost from January 2012. Sometimes a certain animal just rises to the top of the memory chain. Gertrude is gone 7 years now (my Mom is gone 14). Thinking a lot about both of them today for some reason. Though no reason is ever needed to think about the ones you loved. – Lorian
Sometimes I really miss Gertrude. She was a very quiet cat. She didn’t really interact with many people, or other animals for that matter, but she sure was vocal and bossy with me. It was rare that she even came out of my office, but, as you can see, it was a Sunday, and I was reading the big paper on the table, so she figured she would get up there and push me around. She was a very handy cat. Gerty would always be ‘poking’ and ‘pushing’ me with her paw. I figure that she was saying, “Mom, MOm, MOM!!!! Don’t you see me? I’m here and I want you to pay attention to me. And only me! MOM!!!! Are you listening?”
While I was away last week, K8 found this picture when she was cleaning her room and stuck it into the big picture I have of Squash E Bear next to my bed. It was so sweet to come home and be reminded of a furry love that has passed. Gertrude is gone 5 years now. Sometimes I swear I still see her scampering down the hall into my office. We don’t have any Calicos or long hairs at the moment, so it must be her. I wonder if she is seating with my Mom in heaven (Mom passed away 12 years ago this week, which is maybe why I am reminiscing). Past loves are always with me – just sometimes I feel a particular one more one day than another.

Monday Mischief: Peek-a-boo
It always blows me away that the animals think if their heads are under something, they are invisible. Peek-a-boo, I-see-you, Noel! She is a big one for the “hiding in plain sight” trick. And lately, no matter where she is hiding, she always seems to have her paw hanging out. Meow Out Loud. MOL.

Black and White Sunday: Noel & Connie 2008
This is Noel and Miss Constance Kitty (Connie) when they were kittens in 2008. Connie is gone for several years, but Noel is Queen of the Zoo. We have shared our lives with so many animals over the years. Connie had a good sense of humor for a cat. I don’t think Noel finds much funny, she is a very serious sort. I miss all my animals at different times for different reasons. They all are pieces of my heart. I am so lucky to be able to share my world with them.
This is part of the Black and White Sunday Blog Hop. Thanks to Dachshund Nola and Sugar for hosting.
