We’re all missing our sweet Dixie so very much. It’s been one major cryfest since we took her to the vet on Sunday night. The last couple of days have been really, really hard.
I feel badly for my other two kitties who have no clue why she’s not here anymore. I can tell they miss her. They’ve been trying to find her. Salvador has been scratching on the glass of the balcony door asking to go out there to look for her, and Muffy has been poking her head under the covers on the bed looking for her there. Those were her two favorite spots.
I feel the worst for Muffy. Dixie and Muffy grew up together. They had been best friends for almost 14 years. We called them the two-headed cat because they were always curled up together.
Muffy has been glued to me ever since we took Dixie to the vet. Poor kitty. We’ve been trying to make each other feel better as much as possible.
On a completely different note, my period showed up this morning. I guess a little over 6 weeks post miscarriage is about average. I can already tell that it’s going to be a total bitch of a period. Fun.
I am so glad we’re not jumping into another cycle right now. I never, ever thought I’d be thankful for a break, but I am. The thought of starting all of that crap again right now is so not appealing. There is just too much grief flowing through my body to even want to think about IVF. I’m sure my body will thank me for a little time off, but my heart and mind need it even more.

Thinking of you.
Achingly sweet photos. I’m so sad for you and your kitties.
My 2 cats are best friends and really keep each other company. I would really be heartbroken if I had to see one of them try to deal without the other being around. This has got to be so tough for you. I’m glad you’re taking a break before doing another cycle. A person can only handle so much and, even though you do so much better than most would under these circumstances, I’d just hate to see you push yourself too much. Thinking of you and hoping things start looking brighter.
Oh honey - they’re so sweet and beautiful. Thanks for sharing the lovely photos.
Such sweet kitties. I am thinking of all of you.
I hate how we can’t explain to animals what is going on. Once again, I am sorry for your loss.
So so sorry. Hope things start to get sunnier on your end very soon.
I’m sorry about Dixie. Hugs to you and to your other sad kitties.
(But I’m glad the period has at last arrived. )
Time off is good. Take care.
I just read this, Amanda, and I’m so sorry. I left a comment when you were looking at places to treat her for her hypothyroidism–we *talked* about different places.
I have a little calico who is the center of our feline and human household too. Bless you for taking such good care of your sweet calico.. . I know she had a wonderful life but that doesn’t make it any easier.
Thinking of you and shedding a little tear tonight…
Oh, Amanda, this is so heartbreaking. I love my cat so much, I can only imagine. As Elle said, I hope things get sunnier SOON. They’ve got to!
I am so incredibly sorry.
My heart is with you right now.
I’m delurking to tell you how sorry I am for your lost kitty. I have two, and worry so much about how one would do without the other … they are a pair, always. Again, I’m so sorry.
I’m really sorry you’ve lost gorgeous little Dixie. Furrkids are such a big part of family life, and it really is devastating to lose them. What a huge loss this is for you. So sorry.
