Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / February 2007Is it love?
Do you have this feeling inside of you? A feeling of something burning inside of you every moment of every day? It moves me, it paralyzes me, and it consumes me. And when I can't hold it in any longer, I want to climb the summit of the highest mountain and shout it out: I LOVE MY KITTY!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH! Is this what it means to be in love? > Do you have this feeling inside of you? A feeling of something > burning inside of you every moment of every day? [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Is this what it means to be in love? TAK!!!! You were adopted by a kitten? I"m so excited. Please tell me all about it. Never mind, I'll search the messages.

But I was so hoping you had found a friend in need as well. You've made me think about what's going on, and I have a theory that there's a particular problem that can happen when you've had one cat: 1. My life is so empty - I would like a kitty to love. 2. What kind of kitty? I want Betty! 3. But Betty is gone. 4. Dejected. 5. Repeat. It seems like it's possible to keep going around in circles like this for months. Maybe even years, although that remains to be seen. >>> No new kitty, but just in general. I can't suppress it, and it's a >>> relief to say it. I love Betty!

Well, yes, I believe that is part of the joy of cats and people and love. No experience is the same, but you would not want the same experience again exactly. I guess it is hard to see SUCH a great cat dad (shut up. You ARE a great cat dad) go on alone when there are so many needy felines. However, I do think it is always wise to get two. I think you would enjoy and love the interaction and you would be giving a home to two needy ones. Check out the two adult toms my brother just adopted. Practically off the street, not around people a ton, neutered only weeks ago. http://s106.photobucket.com/albums/m267/chupie_2006/mikescats/ Romeo hid in the closet for two weeks, but finally is learning to trust. Buckwheat took to the good life right away. You could tell new kitties all about Betty. OK, I'll stop bugging you now. I just hate to see you alone. No matter what you think, I know that Betty would not want her daddy pining after her forever. > Check out the two adult toms my brother just adopted.

[quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > It seems like it's possible to keep going around in circles like this > for months. Maybe even years, although that remains to be seen. I do know the feeling. Fortunately Charlie doesn't let me do going around in circles for too long. So 1. I need a kitty who loves me. 2. What sort of kitty? I want my Rosie. 3. Rosie is gone. And no two cats are alike. 4. OK I want a little Siamese girl kitten with big ears and a long tail that loves me to distraction 5. Sadly realize that is Rosie, and Rosie is gone. 6. So lets put it in order what I need. a little girl cat with big ears and a long tail. They still have cats like that right? 7. And so we drove many miles to many places, returning late in the day to a Petsmart far from home where rescue cats were just arriving from even farther away. One of the first cats into a cage was a small adult calico girl with very big ears with little tufts on the ends of them. and a very long tail. So on the evening before Haloween two years ago we brought Molly home. She isn't Rosie. But she has her own very special place in our hearts. Jo 4. >1.

But she has her own very special place in our hearts. This is very cute. :) She's a little character. I don't think I've ever seen a cat with lynx-like tufted ear tips. > 1.

Maybe even years, although that remains to be seen./// I felt like this for months after my beloved *heart-cat* Polly died in 1993. I was absolutely devestated. Eventually events conspired that I was sent a tiny, bald, runt of a kitten with one good eye and the attitude of an enormous siberian Tiger. I love HRFL so much that sometimes it actually hurts. He's not Polly, he is his own special self and he's enriched my life so much I can't even begin to describe it. I really believe he was picked by Polly to move into my life as my next *heart-cat*. One day Betty will send you your next *heart cat*. Don't get me wrong, I love all my cats dearly, and they have all got a special place in my heart, but occasionally there is one who doesn't just touch your heart with their soft paw, but stamps on your heart so damn hard you are left with an indelible deep paw print. That's a *heart cat*. And your next one *will* come, and it will be sent by Betty when you are ready.

It's also a given that the cat who goes to RB always picks the next one to take their space in the corpreal world with their beloved human... Helen M ...occasionally there is one who doesn't just touch > your heart with their soft paw, but stamps on your heart so damn hard > you are left with an indelible deep paw print.

And the grief of losing two of them. The first was Blondie, a calico, who was born to the next door cat the morning our dog died. I was 8 years old. Blondie sent me Moxie about 30 years later. Moxie was dumped and I nearly ran over her when she dashed in front of me as I pulled into our driveway. She was about 4 months old and her nose was marked just like Blondie's. It was divided down the middle with peach on one side and gray on the other. Moxie was still alive when Rosie was born wild in our neighborhood. Rosie stole my heart when she allowed me to see her sweet little tabby face peeking out from under a bush. I've told before how I trapped and trained her. So, I had two heart cats at the same time for a while. I still have Rosie, and I give thanks for her every day. I hope Tak will come to realize that he does not have to be frugal with love. Loving one heart cat (or even two at once) does not mean that you love the first one any less. It only makes your life that much richer.

Maybe even years, although that remains to be seen. getting on soapbox, Tak, -- it takes a big leap of faith to lay one's aching heart out there in the open to risk being "paw" to another fur person but I know you can do it once you make up your mind that you can. You have so much to give -- be kind to yourself and allow yourself the opportunity to share that love -- yes, it is risky but it is sooo worth it. getting off soapbox, kindest regards, Christine and Oreo, Midnight, Robin & Tucker >>> TAK!!!!

In my case, I just want to hug the kitties that I love, and that would be hard to do from a mountaintop. >Do you have this feeling inside of you?

She didn't look at me like this when I first had her. She really LEARNED to love me. I learned to love her too.

Stinky is the master of gooshy eyes, BTW. He can sit on me and give me gooshy eyes for what seems like hours, power-purring all the time, and sometimes stretching out a paw and planting it on my nose. ;) And when he does that I could just squeeze the heck out of him if I didn't restrain myself. And to answer Tak's question, yes sometimes I feel so full of love for my little beastie boy, I could just bust. ;) Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War > >>> Do you have this feeling inside of you?

I didn't think I would ever feel like it again, but one day, I did. You will too. I takes a while to open up your heart again for another. If you feel you are nearly ready, go to shelters and look regularly. The right one will call out to your heart. Betty will send it to you and there will be no resisting. Just look for that one. You will know it when you see it. Tweed > "Takayuki" <Takayuk...@yahoo.com> wrote in message > > Do you have this feeling inside of you? A feeling of something > > burning inside of you every moment of every day? Never knew there was a name for it but it's a perfect one. My beautiful, sweet Calvin was my heart cat out of all the kitties who have crossed my path. It's been 3 yrs now (RB) and I haven't stopped loving him or missing him. But.......Annie said it better than I: .".....will come to realize that [you do] not have to be frugal with love. Loving one heart cat (or even two at once) does not mean that you love the first one any less. It only makes your life that much richer." There IS one out there with your name on the little fur ball. Give yourself time........just please don't close that option off entirly. Warm Hugs, PatM >Yes. I felt like this about my beloved Pollyanna.
