Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Regarding Demi's Story
Sorry if this was an inappropriate time to post this - I don't mean to make light all the grief that people are feeling right now. I did this *because* of the grief I was feeling. Writing helps me take my mind off of sad things - it let's me escape to another world where bad things can't touch me. Please note that although Demi had just as hard a time as Bandit did when she was just a little kitten, I did not write this in the dark manner I did Bandit's story, so even though it's initially a bit sad, don't worry, it ends really happily for all concerned. Hugs, CatNipped I think this is a very appropriate time for a post like this. We need some lightness right now. It is a delightful way of telling what could be a very sad story, except for the ending. Thank you for posting it. -- Joy "You can never do a kindness too soon because you never know how soon it will be too late." - Ralph Waldo Emerson > Sorry if this was an inappropriate time to post this - I don't mean to make > light all the grief that people are feeling right now.

Thank you Nan. I hope so too - I don't think I could take any more sad news.

This group is so caring, and that means when something tragic happens it can hurt really badly.

Wholeheartely agree, we certainly need a happy ending to keep the purrs going out on this terrible string of bad news. I suspect, like everyone else, I had a tough time reading the group yesterday (in fact I went to bed without reading everything, which is unusual, but just didn't want to read any more bad news).

Thanks Steve, I had a hard time yesterday too. The story was my own personal form of therapy.

Thanks Karen, I was hoping that it would - kitties are very life affirming. Hugs, CatNipped On the contrary. It was delightful and we could all use some giggles between the stuff on the newsgroup and the stuff on the news. I loved it!

Between all that is happening in the group lately, and all that is happening in the news, I needed to forget for just a little while.

Having children, and brothers, and friends (who also have children) I can too easily put myself in the shoes of those who are suffering a loss, and that empathic feeling is devastating - how much more so it must be for them! Purrs are still going out to all broken hearts today.

On the conrtary, it's nice to read something lighter in the midst of all the tragedy. I really enjoyed Demi's story. She must have been the bravest, strongest, most nonchalant, most magnanimous, smartest little kitten around. ;o) SignatureMarina, Frank and Nikki marina (dot) kurten (at) pp (dot) inet (dot) fi Pics at http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/frankiennikki/ and http://community.webshots.com/user/frankiennikki > Don't be sorry.

As far as Lucy goes, she should count herself very lucky to *not* have an interesting story! ;> Hugs, CatNipped > Sorry if this was an inappropriate time to post this - I don't mean > to make light all the grief that people are feeling right now.

Thanks Adrian, I was hoping that people here would understand that this was my way to "escape" the bad for just too short a while. Hugs, CatNipped |
