Annabelle is lucky to have you. Just as you are lucky to have her. Two females looking out for and loving each other. Cats and knitters have a special bond. Will be thinking of you and Annabelle in the days to come.

Hi, I'm so sorry about Annabelle. It is always hard to see our beloved pets fade. :(

Hugs,

Just chiming in to say how good it is to read you again, and to suggest it might be a good time to read (or re-re-read) James Herriot. I just finished the 4th book. He's especially good on cats, I think. Honesty that somehow comforts.

Jane, I am very sorry to hear about your sweet Annabelle. It is so difficult to say goodbye to any creature (human or otherwise) that has seen us through difficult times. So many of the other comments have said it more beautifully than I can, but you both are in my heart.

I've had two buff tabbys in my life and they ARE special but you put it into just the right words.

Your Annabelle is one special kitty. My sweet boy had to leave me in October -he was ready- I wasn't.
You will always have her in your heart.

Your knitted goodies look warm and soft, and should help a good bit with managing the cold. It can't last forever, it just seems that way, sometimes.

I'm very sorry that your dear friend and companion is preparing to leave you. Having lost one of my own a few short months back, I know what you are feeling. Your memories will keep her with you for always, and somehow I believe she knows this. My best to you both.

Beautiful projects, Jane. For the last year, I've been on this road with my 13-year old border collie. A year ago, we thought we'd be losing him any day, but he rallied and has had a great winter so far. Still...at 13, we know our time is limited, and we lovingly let him deal with the world on his own terms. I will never, NEVER be ready for him to go, but I pray I'll know when he is ready.

Such a sad time for you, all we pet lovers been there and know how it hurts. Sending good wishes to you and Annabelle, hope you both find strength and peace.

Jane, (((hugs)))

Oh, Jane. Such is this winter of discontent ... and the weather sure isn't helping. Please feel better. I will wish upon you some avgolemono soup. We call it Greek penicillin. As for the rest, I have no prescription, only sympathy.

2011-01-23T21:55:21.478-05:00

Jane, we have been having a rather tough winter as far as weather goes, haven't we?

I so feel for you in dealing with the decline of a beloved companion. There is no easy way. All you can do you are already doing. Just loving her. Being there for her when she wants it. Cats are so danged independent!

When our dog Sailor was failing we gave him anything to eat that he wanted which included vanilla ice cream cones from Dairy Queen and he loved his chicken nuggets from the value meal at McDonalds.

Cats are not so easily appeased! One thing I found that always worked and was easily digested was human baby food. Cats and dogs alike would eat that when they would eat nothing else. Just a tad bit warmed, any of the chicken, veal or beef varieties might entice Ms Annabelle to eat just a little.

Many hugs to you to you both. My heart is with you.

Why are buff tabbies always so special? I've never met one who wasn't smart and fascinating. I'm so glad you're there for Annabelle, and that she's been such a wonderful companion to you. I know we're approaching that point with Kaio, and it's so difficult. If only they came with reset buttons.

2011-01-23T19:53:15.303-05:00

Jane, you and Annabelle are in my thoughts and in my heart. There is something so magical in the bonds between humans and their companion animals. I wish it didn't hurt so. . . because there is so much love. . . and it's So Good. May you find peace in the small things these days, dear Jane.

What a sweet girl... you are so good to her, as she's been to you. I know saying good bye will be so difficult, but hang in there.

2011-01-23T18:07:41.084-05:00

Jane you are so good. You really are.

I love that picture of her with her paws tucked in.

I am holding you in my heart, even a little more than usual.

Sending you a hug.

I know, it's so hard. Every last day you have with her is a gift.

What a beautiful post. My heart goes out to you.

honey my merry the tabby went exactly the same way... the whole interested but really not eating thing
she sat on me and stared at my face
it just broke my heart
i am so very sorry that annabelle is coming to her time. i guess this means she's taught you all she can with this life.....
she's about to hand you over to your next feline teacher
she'll watch over you though, i do know that

Beautiful projects. My Wilsy was like Annabelle. She was able to decide when she went, fell asleep in the sun....just like she decided everything else :) like who held her, when they held her, what you fed her, if she noticed you - a cat on her own terms!
