Hi everyone! It has been so long since I have posted. I have been very sad since the passing of my sweet calico, Cleo. It has been very lonely around here and Simon has been depressed and lonely, too. It has been a little over 2 weeks since Cleo has been gone. Simon at first searched for her in all the places she used to be and he also stopped going on his heated cat bed that he always snuggled in with Cleo. Finally, on Saturday, I decided to place him in the cat bed and see what he would do. He sniffed all around the bed and then just sat down and acted like normal. He has been using the cat bed ever since. I think he needed me to tell him that it was ok to go on the cat bed without Cleo.
I know that everyone here knows the really deep down heartache after losing a kitty. I am giving Simon extra attention and he is giving me extra snuggles, too. DH is also really sad. I have had some signs from Cleo since she has been gone. On the first night, I woke to find Simon sleeping next to me where Cleo always slept. He has since gone back to his usual spot near my legs. Also, a few days later, he woke me up by placing his paw on my shoulder, just like Cleo always did. Simon never did that before. I also have heard a faint meow that sounded just like Cleo's distinctive meow coming from the room she used to hang out in. Last week, when I went to do yoga (in the room where Cleo crossed), I put my phone into the speaker and the song that I always played for Cleo when I gave her fluids, started playing out of the blue. I had not set my phone to play that song and hadn't listened to it since Cleo has been gone.
Sorry this post is super long. I have thought about all of my friends on FDMB but just have not had the strength emotionally to start posting again. Now I am doing a little better and realize I need the support of my FDMB family. Thanks for always being here for me! My spreadsheet is missing alot of numbers because I kind of gave up for awhile -- I always tested Simon, but didn't always write down the numbers. I will do better now.
