A heartfelt thank you

A heartfelt thank you to all for taking the time to express kind thoughts and condolences on Nicki's passing.

Most of the names I do recognize from my years of blogging as "Fuzzy Tales" and being part of the Cat Blogosphere, though some names are new to me. I appreciate every comment, whether you knew/remember Nicki or not. I'd like to thank everyone individually, but that won't be possible, as I know some of you don't blog anymore, but rather post on FB, and I no longer have a FB account. Just know that I'm thankful for such a caring and generous community of pet people. I know everyone understands.

Things are so quiet in the house now, with only Derry. Nicki had such a large presence, and I realized Sunday morning that most of my home time was devoted to him for the past (I think) 5 years, after his asthma diagnosis. He was a high-needs cat in so many ways, ever a challenge, and it's odd to realize now that oh, I don't have to secure all my lower cupboards to prevent him from getting in, or block the bottom drawers of my bureaus, or leave all my closet doors open because a closed door was like throwing down the gauntlet to him...or do this little thing or that little thing.

Derry has been confused and unsettled, looking for him, and he's been sticking to me like glue, wanting constantly to be in my arms or on my lap, or plastered to my side at night. I do hope that in time he'll come to understand the advantages of being an only-kitty.

Anyway, thank you all again; you have my very best wishes. For those of you in the U.S., have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving.

Peace.

Kim
