Purrs from a purr-less

It is 20 days since my Hugo Katt went to the Bridge and my house is totally
purr-less.
I read your requests for purrs and realise I've got no purrs to send,
being a useless purrer myself.
Now I have visited a cat named Potter, a big lovely tuxedo boy, and
gathered some purrs from him.
So today I am able to forward purrs to HRFL Tiger, Smudge, Pan, Helen S,
Ginger-lyn, Kajikit, Annie and everyone else who needs them.

And hugs from Elisabet

{{{{{{{{{{Elisabet}}}}}}}}}}  I know it's still too fresh, but have you at
least considered getting another furry master to help fill that hole in your
heart?  A new cat won't replace Hugo Katt, but it would help heal your
broken heart (and you'd be giving another cat the life he deserves).

Hugs,

I can't get another cat, at least not now. Hugo Katt had FIP. The
contagion will be in the house 6 weeks from what I read on Internet. I
would not trust that but make it at least six months.
Sigh!

Ah.  That's sensible - I wouldn't want to take the chance either.  But how
awful to be without a master for so long.

Hugs,

That will be hard, but it is so the right thing to do.  We made sure we got
rid of all cat things like toys and bowls and scratchers too.

It is the sensible if difficult thing to do, yes.  But then, the
decision of who should be your next owner is not something to just rush
into.  =o) But in the meantime, collect all the purrs you can from the
tuxedo chap.

Did you read the site www.dr-addie.com ?

I did a LOT of studying after my Pericles was pts with FIP in February, and
joined the Yahoo FIP group where I still am. In a household with no cats to
keep shedding FCoV 6 or 7 weeks will be enough: it needs perfect conditions
to survive even that long.

So if you happen to be sent a new owner shortly, please don't be deterred
from providing him/her with a wonderful home, it'll be good for you both.

Poor Elisabet, you must miss him so much.  Good to get some big tuxedo
cuddles. ;)

When Princess went to the Bridge at age 16, I managed to exist only one
month without kitty love.  So I went to Petsmart and adopted the cat now
known as TuTu.  She is a great piece of purrfur and has been with me now
for nearly nine years.  Best wishes for an early kittyfind.   MLB

When Isis went to the bridge, Dave said "Let's have a month or two off
perhaps go on holiday or something" that was Tuesday. He spent all of
Wednesday saying how "quiet and empty" the flat was but insisting that
he would get used to it. When I came in Thursday night he was looking
at rescue cats online....then he turned to me and said "That lady you
work with- the one who's cat had kittens- has she found any homes yet?"

Okay we were purr less for a month while they got ready to leave
mum...But does that count?

After Zubie had to be pts I was thinking of maybe getting
another kittie in about six months.  By the time we made it
through one month my folks were pushing me out the door and
pointing in the general direction of the pet shelter while
quoting beer commercials at me: "If you think of it, get two."

Hugs to you too Elisabet. I hope one day, maybe soon, maybe a little
while later, your house will be filled with purrs again. No one can take
the place of Hugo, the churchyard working cat, of course.

  I echo Marina's reply.   Our beloved kitties are irreplaceable.
But we *can* love again.  My Custard died several years ago at age 19.
In my eyes, she was the greatest kitty ever created.  The sweetest,
gentlest, most loving, beautiful little girl.  There will never be
another Cus-Cat.  Taking nothing from her, our Hobo has become not
only loved but *adored*!!!  Why???  He's a big old couch potato, an
ex-stray wandering the streets of Cape Canaveral, finally adopting us
after several months.  The total opposite of Cus-Cat, he's not a
lap-cat, not gentle (and I have the scars to prove it), not playful,
not a personality kid (but he *is* gorgeous!)   He's just Hobo.  His
mere presence is enough to keep us crazy about him and spoiling him;
whatever Hobo wants, Hobo gets!  When his RB time comes, it will tear
our hearts to shreds.  

Speckles is my Sweetie.  I rarely call her Speckles any more - just
Sweetie.  I love her dearly.  Coming close to losing her these past
couple of months has made me even more appreciative and aware of her
great qualities.

Sorry if this is trailing off the topic of Hugo Katt, and so many
others who can't possibly be replaced....

perfect furry master soon.

You will know when it's time to get another furrball to fill your life.
In the meantime, purrs.

(((((HUGS))))) I'm afraid I don't think I could stand that even as much as I
would miss my babies. Maybe Potter has a homeless friend?

You'll know when it's the right time for a new owner, or owners. Purrs and
gentle headbutts.

We are thinking of you a lot, Elisabet. When the time comes Hugo will
send you a kitty that needs a home just like yours.
Lots of purrs and hugs,
Polonca and Soncek
