Readjustment of reactions

One of the hardest parts about Boopsie's death is that so many of my reactions and habits are based around that cat.

"Oh, I shouldn't put this here or Boopsie will . . .no, she won't."

"If I do this, the cat could . . . no, she couldn't."

I'm cleaning up the floor where she messed when she lost bowel control, and using bleach. And I keep thinking how I really better keep that door closed so the cat doesn't have to deal with the bleach. . .

The Natures Miricle company makes something especally for cleaning up animal urine.


It will take a while after for your brain to register the loss. After Darth Kitty died, my husband put food in his bowl, and the next time we went to the store, we bought cat litter. It will get better, slowly it will. I will try to lj cut funny pet stories for a while.

We have the gallon jugs of Nature's Miracle. Believe me, we know that stuff well.

Don't feel you have to lj-cut stuff on my behalf. Knowing that other adorable animals are out there is a good thing. I guess I can only speak for myself, and not for Lis, but, to me, I like cute pets and funny animal stories as much as ever, even if our cute pet died.

If you feel the need to cuddle, something furry, you have plenty of options. Right now I have one on the floor using my foot as a pillow and the other using my foot as a bed.
