The squirt likes to pester mes when hims is awake, but hims is pretty all right when hims is sleeping! So today, me is thankful for sleeping kittens! MOL.
Most nights, mes lets Gabe curl up near mes and have a nap. As long as he isn't trying to suckle on mes, me thinks he's an okay baby brother.
Mama always fusses over how adorable we is when wenaptogether.
What do yous be thankful for today?
Hi everybody, it's mes, Gabriel! Guess what today be? Go ahead....guess!
Mama says today be my HALF-BIRTHDAY! Hers says it be my half-birthday 'cause me is SIX whole months old today! Can yous believe it?! Mama sure can't!
Me had a busy first six months of life.
First, me was rescued from outside when me was teeeeeeeny tiny (only 5 ounces!!).
Then, me was taken from de shelter by de nice peoples at Colorado Feline Foster Rescue where mes stayed with my brother and three sisters with a really nice foster family (where my sister, Willow, ended up being a foster fail!).
Then, mes came to live with Mama and Giovanni when me was just 10 weeks old.
Mes and Mama thought yous might like to see some photos from my first six months of life, so here we be...
Here me is with Mama the first day we met when me was just nine weeks old. Hers kept wavering between whether to take mes or my orange brother, Cedar, home. So mes made super sure hers knew it was supposed to be me that belonged with hers and Giovanni! Phew, that was a close one. Thankfully, Mama is good at listening with hers heart and hers heard mes!
Here mes is shortly after mes came to live with Mama and Giovanni. Me sure loves Giovanni! He mostly likes mes, too, except when mes suckles on hims.....and me still does that much more than hims would like. MOL!
But wes play together every night at playtime, and wes like to chase each other around de house!
"I love you, Carmine," I told my handsome, 18-year-old orange tabby cat as the vet gave him the injection that stopped his heart, sending him to the Rainbow Bridge. Carmine left me in the wee hours of May 26, 2023. It's the day my world began to implode.
Carmine was my soulmate, my heart cat. We spent 18 wonderful years together. His unconditional love, guidance, and comforting nature helped me recover from anorexia and self-harm. His love healed me in ways I didn't know were possible. How was I supposed to go on without him? We were two peas in a pod. As long as I had Carmine by my side, I knew everything would be okay, even in seemingly hopeless situations. How was I supposed to navigate this world without my best friend?4\
After his death, I went on with my life the best I could. I adopted a new kitten, and while Giovanni brought me and Tylan (my Siamese cat) so much joy, laughter, and comfort, I simply couldn't handle the grief I felt over Carine's loss. Instead of working through it, I shoved the grief aside. Nobody, especially my loved ones, wanted to see me sad and grieving. It was easier for everyone if I pretended Carmine's death wasn't as devastating to me as it actually was.
