OT One year already. Photos added

[Olive & Paula]

That Ollie received her wings and 3 days before that my dad did. I just can't believe it went so fast when I miss them so much. One of those photos to share popped up yesterday and Ollie looked so healthy and happy looking. I still have so much of her stuff. I just can't go through it all yet.

Give all your babies hugs and scritches from me.

 

[Katherine&Ruby]

Paula, I'm sure you miss Olive so much.

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

Those Facebook "memories" are a double edged sword sometimes.

If you're thinking about your loved ones that are gone, know that they're thinking of you too.

 

[Suzanne & Darcy]

I just saw this. I totally get it! Hugs to you. My phone likes to share memories with me, too. They kind of pop up. Sometimes it makes albums as well.

 

[Olive & Paula]

I couldn't post photos before. The 2nd one is the day she was transported to me from Canada. The 1st one is one year after she arrived.

She looks so pretty. What a beautiful fluff cat! I love that little patch on the top of her head!

 

[smorgasbord]

What a sweetheart. That fluffy mane and the cutest little chin.

 

[JoyBee&Ravan]

I miss little Olive too!

 

[Olive & Paula]

What a sweetheart. That fluffy mane and the cutest little chin.

She was definitely a princess. Always seemed delicate or fragile to me. My others are rough and tumble cats. Ok maybe not the 18 yr old but the other 2 are.

 

[Chris & China (GA)]

She was definitely a princess.

Considering how she was found, she deserved to be treated like a princess! Her story still breaks my heart but then the way so many people pulled together to save her reminds me there's still good people in the world.

 

[Pamela & Amethyst]

Beautiful little angel

 

[Tina Marie (GA) and Jan]

Sending you a big hug Paula. Tina sends you a big hug and kiss and wants me to tell you she still sees Ollie through the veil at the full moon parties. You took such good care of your little princess. I miss her being with you. Such a beauty that little Olive.

Paula Beautiful Olive landed in the bestest of places when the kitty transport caravan stopped at your place. She certainly looks like she was a "Love".

PS: I'm glad you've managed to upload pictures now.

@Chris & China (GA) How is Miss Kitty?
@Wendy&Neko How are your parents?

I know right. I had no idea people transported animals. Dropped what they are doing and drive to next relay with an animal they have no bond with. DCIN and volunteers were amazing getting everything arranged. FDMB caring, knowledge, support was unbelievable in our journey as we discovered the many issues we dealt with. I don't know if I could do it again. But.......

Couple of weeks ago, a irresponsible person threw a kitten on the side of the road just down from my door. I heard it crying one night and saw it but it ran from me. It was tiny on the side of busy backcountry road against an electric fence. Heard it again next morning, hubby and I got the farmer to let us in the electric fence to try to catch it. It ran deeper into the woods. I was glad it wasn't on the shoulder of the road anymore. Next day I heard it again nearby but couldn't find it. The following day it was under husband car. We were now trying to trap it. No rescue had a trap I could borrow. All stores were sold out. I put out a carrier with food and water. I would constantly look out the door to see if I could see him. I did and he was eating the food, going in the carrier. Kept fine tuning our trap and covered it up from the rain. By now Archie (name of road he was on) was pretty much staying under my car and playing on our deck but just to leary to any sound and would run off. We kept trying to get a trap but was having no luck. By now I was attached to this little thing even though I never got to cuddle it. He was going to join our family. Finally got the one we were making so we could pull a rope from the house and have a board cover up the opening to the carrier. But before we could see him in there, he met a tragic end.

Why do people have to do stuff like that. It makes me sick.

How is Miss Kitty?

She's doing very well! One of the other residents in the facility "adopted" her so she has a new human to be with. The manager of the facility helps out too. Her new "mom" has also really benefitted from having her. She is more outgoing and engaged with the other residents since Miss Kitty came into her life.

She knows where the kitchen is and races Maria (the manager) to the door every morning for her "first" breakfast, then later in the morning after all the residents have had their breakfast, her "mom" feeds her a 2nd one.

I am forever grateful for the help I got keeping her in the home she knew after mom passed and she's been a blessing for this other lady too (who would have never been able to come up with the pet deposit on her own)

 

[Red & Rover (GA)]

She was very special, as are you. And yes, we all followed her journey.

@Chris & China (GA) – Miss Kitty is doing a great job running the home.

 

[LindyNova]

She was beautiful, and I can tell you are beautiful too...pure & loving heart and soul.

 

[Bron and Sheba (GA)]

Beautiful photos of Ollie.
I’m so sorry about that little kitty. There are some low life in this world.

 

[Wendy&Neko]

@Wendy&Neko How are your parents?

About what you'd expect for a pair of 98 and 99 year olds. No big things, just a bunch of small things. Just wish they didn't live on a relatively small island, no way they'll move. Fortunately, island life also means great neighbours. They had more social life than I did though the worst of COVID. LOL.

 

[Summer and Susie (GA)]

Such a sad story about the little kitty you were trying to trap. Bless you for caring. We never forget the beloved pets that we have lost. They stay with us forever.

 

[Butters & Lyla]

I love the photos of your pickled Olive. Funny, I did my pickle making a couple of weeks ago and thought of her and specifically the pickled Olive story. Such a beautiful floofy girl! Her rescue story broke my heart but she ended up with the most caring mom who gave her the best life.
I'm so sorry about Archie. I will never understand how people can be so cruel, especially to animals.

 

[Diane Tyler's Mom GA]

Beautiful Olive, I hope you are up there playing with my boy Perry, having lots of fun.
I think of her often Paula, she certainly was a beauty ♥♥

I'm sure they are snuggling together.

 

[Sue and Luci]

Oh Paula, has it been a year already? I remember the heartache...it was indeed a sad day - it always is.

And yes, she was such a Princess! Such a lucky mom you are to have found her and that she allowed you to be 'The One' to be her staff!

Such a sad tale about that little one you were trying to catch...'sigh'.... I wish this forum had a different 'response' so we could put the sad face emoji or a hug emoji as needed. The "Like" button somehow seems inappropriate ...

But we carry on...and do our best.

I hope you are well...Luci and I send our best - well, Luci only does it vicariously...she's having a rest after her dinner and can't be bothered with typing at this particular time...

Hi, we are well here. Whaaaaa Luci not helping you? Whats up with that..........

 

[Margaret and Pearl (GA)]

What a beauty little Olive was! Thank you for sharing the pictures - I didn't know you when Olive had FD. I love the picture of her on her cat scratcher the most - LOL do all cats sit on the cat scratcher?! I thought it was only Pearl - we have the extra big one, too!

Hugs to you on this day
