Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2005Moving on
I've been keeping myself busy so as not to dwell too much on Nikki and the last hours of her life. One way I've been keeping busy is looking at flats. I was outbid on the one with the glassed-in balcony with a partial ocean view, but today I signed the lease for another flat. It is slightly smaller than the one I'm in now, but it's on the ground floor, and it has a little walled-in garden attached at the back. With a little netting strategically placed, it will be a perfect cat enclosure. The flat is also a hop and a skip away from my job, so I can walk there in ten minutes. I will be moving at the end of July/start of August. I'm hoping I can leave the cats on the island while I'm moving (my sister already promised to look after them), so it should all work out fine. Then I can fetch them to their new home. Hope Frank isn't too miffed about having to move again. But the windows face south, so there should be lots of sunny spots, even inside. Maybe I can get away from the image of Nikki twitching uncontrollably on the floor by my bed. Poor Nikki, she would have loved that garden.  SignatureMarina, Frank and Miranda. In loving memory of 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 Poor Marina! I know how tough it must be for you, trying to move on. It's not easy. But most things get better with time. Your new flat sounds wonderful and I'm sure Frank and Miranda will love it.

And Frank will no doubt take it in stride. Miranda, of course, will just think it's all the more fun to explore :) Jill *hugs* SignatureVictor M. Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com Congrats on the new place! That should be a wonderful place for the kitties. As for Nikki, I am positive that she knows you gave her a wonderful, loving, happy life and that she was as loved as a kitty can be. I'm also sure that she knows that you did everything possible with regard to her health care. I am so very sorry that you and Frank have to deal with the loss of Nikki. Your new flat sounds great and I am sure you and the cats will enjoy many happy days there. Continued purrs from Rusty for your loss of Frank.

Poor Nikki, she would have loved that garden. I'm quite sure she helped you to find it. I'm also sure she would not want you to be too sad for too long but to remember her with joy. When Frank stretches out in the sunny spots, know the Nikki helped to find them for him.

Poor Nikki, she would have loved that garden. {{{{{{{{{Marina}}}}}}}}}} I know how you feel. I still remember how I felt when I turned Bandit over and saw the burn on her belly - it still makes me nauseated when I think about it, and Bandit pulled through! Please try and think about all the times you petted and loved her and made her life happy. Purrs that the move goes well. Hugs, CatNipped That move sounds like a good thing, Marina. Many purrs for an easy move and many happy times in the new flat. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > I've been keeping myself busy so as not to dwell too much on Nikki and > the last hours of her life.

Poor Nikki, she would have loved that garden. Ooh. An outdoor safe kitty walk *and* indoor sun. Can I come over and play?

Hope Frank isn't too miffed about having to move again. ]] When I got married, I moved from the only home that Melody and Harmony had ever known. Little did they know what was about to transpire. I boarded them at the vet's office a day or so prior to the wedding, and then picked them up after the honeymoon and took them to the NEW house instead of the old one. I swear, both of them had an expression on their faces when they arrived at the new abode that said, "Ha ha, very funny. Now take us to our REAL home". But at least the actual move was seamless for them, since they were elsewhere at the time that the move took place. It should be similarly easy for Frank and Miranda, since they won't have to witness the actual moving of all the belongings to the new home. Everything will already be set up and waiting for them when they arrive. Congratulations on the new flat!

Poor Nikki, she would have loved that garden. The new flat sounds almost perfect. Purrs that Frank and Miranda enjoy their new garden. The trouble with images, you can never get away from them but after a while they come less often.

I forgot to mention that the layout is very good for sequestering cats, too. I can shut the door between two units, one consisting of the bedroom, bathroom and a small sauna, and the other consisting of the living room and kitechenette. If I get Miranda a little friend in autumn, and they tend to get too rambunctious for Frank, i can separate them for when I go to work. Frank spends most of his time on the bed, anyway, and with the bathroom and sauna, he shouldn't feel to claustrofobic. The door to the garden is in the bedroom, but if I want to let the cats in the other unit outside, I can open a window.

Wow, that's so cool, so...Finnish! ;-) Here in Thailand a sauna would be superfluous, all I have to do to sweat is step outside, but I could imagine having one would be a great thing in a cold Finnish winter. -- Britta "There is no snooze button on a cat who wants breakfast." -- Unknown Check out pictures of Vino at: http://photos.yahoo.com/badwilson click on the Vino album > The flat has it's own sauna!

They tend to build in a small sauna in many new flats these days (this building is only a couple of years old). Too bad I can't use it, though, because something (my blood pressure) in my system doesn't agree with sauna baths. I haven't enjoyed a sauna bath since I was a kid. However, I'm planning to keep the litterboxes in the sauna, so it won't be a complete waste of space. :o) It's also good to hang clothes to dry in. SignatureMarina, Frank and Miranda. In loving memory of 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 I missed the original thread about Nikki's passing, so here I will offer my condolences and bright blessings. When I was younger, I had a dog who died of multiple strokes. Her decline and death took place over a month-long period, including a day of semiconsciousness on a bed of hay. But this period was brief next to the years we shared together. This is what you must focus on--the love you had as a family, the good times you shared. --Fil > I missed the original thread about Nikki's passing, so here I will > offer my condolences and bright blessings.

Thank you, Fil, and everyone else who I haven't thanked yet. I'm sorry to have to give blanket thanks like this, but there were so many of you who offered your condolences. You've all been so wonderful. It was so sudden, I can't quite get my head around it yet. Sometimes I wake up in the morning and think it was just a dream, and she'll soon come plodding into the bedroom to see if I'm awake. I don't think I've quite realised yet that she really is gone for good. I wish I'd been there to see her go. Maybe I could believe it then. SignatureMarina, Frank and Miranda.
