Jewel's Journey

Next Friday is Jewel's birthday.  It would have been her 18th.  It does make me sad, but we will be having a little giveaway to celebrate the sweet, wonderful, and wise cat Jewel was.

Many of you already know that I have a severe vision impairment.  Carmine is a very smart cat.  He figured out right away that I could not see him in the dark or in low lighting.  If I get near him when there isn't much light, he will meow at me to let me know he's there so I don't accidentally step on or kick him.

Jewel was a very smart cat, too, but she never let me know where she was.  I learned pretty fast that I had to softly shuffle my feet in low lighting so I didn't accidentally kick or step on her!

Not only that, but I always had to feel for "lumps" in my covers before I sat or laid down on my bed because you never knew if Jewel would be under them.  She was such a vocal cat that it surprised me that she wouldn't tell me where she was in the dark.

Please come back next Friday to wish Angel Jewel a happy day and to enter our special giveaway!  (Yes, I know many of you will be at BlogPaws - I will give everyone a few extra days to enter.)

  3. Some cats are so special, they are missed for a long time. My human had a cat like that before Sparkle... and I can tell that Jewel is yours.
