Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / January 2007Memories
I've been looking through google groups at some old posts I made about Sesame. Here is one I had forgotten about. 1 From:Kathryn - view profile Date:Wed, Nov 12 2003 11:38 am Email: "Kathryn" <nos...@thank.you> Groups: rec.pets.cats.anecdotes Sesame is an old girl these days, she's heading towards 19, so she doesn't have a whole lot of stories. But she's one of those cats that I'll always know as being the most special, just because she is. I love how she'll come running when I go outside and call her, even if just to rub up against my legs a couple of times and then head back for some sleep under her favourite bush. I love how she'll stretch out completely on my chest when I'm watching tv and let me play with her toes, something she never let me do when we both were younger! I love how the lawn outside has some kind of special smell or atmosphere, it brings out the kitten in her when she sets foot on it! I love how her little tummy swings back and forth when she runs. I love how she does what my brother calls "drive by toodys" (toodys, puddys, pussy) when she wants cuddles - she'll walk past several times having a look at how the lap situation would benefit her at present. Usually by the fourth walk by the sofa inhabitant is cat ready. I love how shes just there - her presence is such a comfort. I mostly love the complete trust in her humans. Kathryn - who hopes that Sesame has a few years left in her! And is keeping fingers crossed for a job interview to come her way today! I remember going for that interview. I got the job... and I remember sitting here at this computer waiting nervously for my phone to ring. Sesame would have been close by. I worked a lot of early shifts at that job, and Sesame was such a delight first thing in the morning when she wanted attention and breakfast.

Sesame was truly a Most Wonderful Cat, and I'm glad that her time with you was as long as it was; even if it doesn't seem now to be nearly long enough.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life without cats would be only marginally worth living." -TC, and the unmercifully, relentlessly, sweet calico kitty, Kenzie.

It's never long enough, is it? Why don't we take it on board that we will outlive our beloveds and prepare our minds for it? We just don't. And it destroys us every time it happens.

If we did not have grief what kind of beings would that make us? No matter the years I still miss every one of my furry pals from the past. There are even those times I think, for just one moment, one or another of them might appear just around the corner. Then I return to the present. Is there a moment of hurt in there? Sure but it is worth it.

On holiday together in top hotels in Wales. Who always said "Polly can come back, anytime." She always remembered any hotel she stayed at in Llandudno She would guide me towards any hotel I ever stayed in there. "Is this the one you want?" Tweed > I've been looking through google groups at some old posts I made about > Sesame. Here is one I had forgotten about. This was a charming post about Sesame - well worth reposting. I remember how I wanted to grasp and hold on to those memories when Frank and Nikki passed away. I often go back and read old posts about them, and look at all their pictures. I had a very vivid dream about Nikki last night. I don't remember hat happened in the dream, but I felt happy when I woke up. I'm so glad they visit me in my dreams. I hope in time Sesame will come and visit you, too.  SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban. In loving memory of Frank and Nikki.
