I am home tonight with the option to go back to Auntie's if I can't manage.
Hopefully I will be able to if I take it very steadily and carefully.
I was just too homesick and missing my kitties.

I have missed around 5000 posts but on your reply to my post I saw "in
loving memory of Nikki." If you are beginning to recover from this, I'm
sorry to raise it again but I can't let it go by without saying something
about what I feel on hearing that she is gone.

Firstly. I admired how you took care of her with the health problems she
had. A lot of people would not want the bother of it, and would have had
the cat put down.
This was brought home to me yesterday, overhearing conversations within my
extended family. " "So and so" (cousin) got a springer spaniel puppy, it
lasted two weeks, it chewed things so she got rid of it" "
Aaaargh.
Secondly. You were and are a fantastic meowmie.
Thirdly. I wish Nikki lots of paper bags and boxes while she waits for you
at the RB.

Sadly

Thank you for your kind words, Tweed. It is now two weeks since I had to
rush Nikki to the vet school hospital because she was having a seizure.
A few hours later, over the phone, I gave the vet permission to release
her. I have her ashes and am going to scatter them out on her beloved
island. I think I'm still in the early stages of mourning. I go through
alternate periods of denial and realisation. I just don't want to
believe that I'll never hold that purring little chunky body again. I
suspect it's going to be hard to go out to the island this year.

I know those early stages of mourning only too well. The loss is the first
thing you think about as soon as your eyes open in the morning, and the last
thing you think about at night. Oh, yes.

Nikki was a very lucky cat, she had a long happy life with a perfectly
trained slave ;-) Lots of kitties never get that, do they?

One day - but not yet - only the happy memories will remain with you, I
promise.
Until then
((((hugs)))
