Cat Fight!

Awww, thank you! I have visited him every single day since we have been home, even in the pouring rain.

@DianneN I can believe that.

@CarolDM

@DianneN They even like the two cats next door. When the people next door are at work all four are laying on their porch.

Your cats are such little lovers. Kuma was like that. No so Doodles. He was KING of everything.

@jstory07 Doodles used to lay on the porch of my son's neighbor's house, but just to nap. lol

@DianneN I just buried my cat with his collar. He did have some favorite toys though. He loved the furry worm.

@snowy22315 You are making me cry now.

Doodles is very happy now with no pain and a heart filled with love. I think the pretty kitty statues will make him feel loved now. I would definitely put the squeaky bone next to Beau. Jax needs his own toys. We buried Doodles with his favorite Mr. Mouse and Mr. Goosie. Kuma went away with her favorite ripped to shreds boxing glove.

Cats are much smarter than most people give them credit for @DianneN

Thanks so much. Those statues were hidden from Doodles for 7 years. He loved to explore in the garage when we left the doors opened. He even knew which car was mine.

I totally agree! Doodles was the smartest cat I ever had. My son takes all the credit for training him so well. @rebelann

He was our guard kitty.

@DianneN Yes, he certainly was:)

@arunima25 So do I!

Thanks for remembering my babies. Today I pet the girly kitty statue. Silly me.

@DianneN As long as it gives us pleasure, nothing is silly. I talk to my plants.

@DianneN I couldn’t find a nice cat statue. I need to look again. I have an angel at my fur babies graves.

@Tampa_girl7 An angel is a perfect choice, too. I should look for one, also.

Thanks! We bought them on a trip to upstate NY and lugged them home. They are so heavy.

He knew the shape. Smart cat!

@DianneN I'm glad your dream about him was a good one, and that you were also able to place the statues in a very fitting location. I'm sure it's much better than them sitting in the garage where no one can enjoy them. I had a dream about my dad last night, and it was also a good one! So glad that both of us had good dreams about loved ones!

@moffittjc Thanks so much! I'm so glad you had a wonderful dream about your dad last night, too. I had a dream about my mother a few days ago, and it left me with such a good feeling and a happy smile. I think they want us to know that they are watching over us, and want us to know that they are at peace and happy.

I'm sure he is now that he and his sister are no longer in pain. I had a dream about him last night which was awesome!!!!! It was so good to "see" him again. Thank you! We were finally able to remove them from the garage and place them somewhere very fitting.

@DianneN - Good to see you, too. Enjoy being safe and at home in Connecticut. The northeast seems to have controlled Covid-19 much better than the rest of the U.S. Our daughter who lives in Hastings-on-Hudson is nervous about schools trying to start, again. Their school was one of the first in the nation to close down last spring, when a father of two students tested positive. Now, she wonders if the schools will do the same thing again. Will they close if a parent tests positive? How will they handle kids with colds, the flu, allergies or pink eye? Will schools close until a kid with a cold gets a negative covid-19 test result? She is afraid it will be chaotic, at best.

@DeborahDiane Thanks! We are still playing it very safe. Our son, his wife, and grandkids bought a house in the New Jersey suburbs to escape NYC. The kids had their camps closed, so the house they bought has everything they need to keep them busy. They kids will NOT be returning to school. My grandson attended a private school and had an excellent online program last year and will continue with it when school begins. My granddaughter began a private online school and was accepted into the gifted and talented program. She finds it challenging and loves it, so will continue with it. I hope your daughter can find an alternative to sending the kids back to school, which in my opinion, is a ridiculous and highly unsafe place for kids to be in right now.

Animals! Gotta love them. We are staying safe, thanks. We left Florida early and will remain in Connecticut as long as it takes. So good to see you again.

He hated all cats, real or not real. He only loved his sister, most of the time. She had her moments with him, too.

Thanks, Linda. I miss having stories to tell.

I appreciate your remembering my Doodles. He was the best kitty I ever had. Thanks so much!

Thanks! I love them, too.

@sophie09 We bought them at an antique shop.

@DianneN how did you make the statues?

@DianneN That would be so hard to do, leaving them. But I understand why.

@simone10

He was our master, but made us laugh every day. If we move, we will leave the cats in their final resting place where they were happiest. We discussed that with our son last week.

@DianneN I didn't mean to put the pumpkins... Of I started that incorrectly. I was thinking more to have the pumpkins at their feeder not under them like your put a bouquet of flowers at a memorial. For doodles the pumpkin would mean more than flowers anyway.

Thanks! They look so good in the garden next to the kitties. I think the weight of those statues would crush the Doodles pumpkins, but we will definitely tell Doodles we have some.

@MarshaMusselman Got it. We just may display some right there.

Thanks! He was something else for sure!

@just4him

@DianneN Yes, he was.

Thanks so much. He was my favorite kitty ever.

@Julie555 That's so true. To us, they are members of the family to be taken care of and loved. And spoiled rotten!

@DianneN I can understand. The bond we develop with our beloved pets is so special and unconditional

I had a wonderful dream of him last night. It made me so happy to "see" him. Have a good rest of your evening, Vilma and thank you!

@vilma143

@DianneN , Yes, thank you too.

Thanks! It’s been tough without them,

@Michellekidwell It's always hard. It's like losing members of the family.

@DianneN We’ve lost furbabies too, it’s hard!
