Sassy cats – Still sad

Posted on by

No good bag goes unused. Gracie was the original bag lady here.

It’s the peep. We are still mourning the loss of Gracie. As the cats would say, we have a major sad going on. Our “chi” is off. Things are off kilter. Out of whack.

We will return next week, hopefully with chi, on kilter and in whack. Thanks to all of you who mourn with us. It’s great not to be alone.

Gracie and her kicky stick!

  3. I am so sorry, Kate♥ NoBODY could relay the goings on of the Sassy Cats like Gracie. I miss her♥ I know what an unbelievingly empty space has taken over. She was a quirky girl and I could relate to her. My heart is broken and it breaks for you. I know you have heard this before from me but she was loved and I know she loved her home and the Lady Peep (and the Lady Peep’s Peep) She was the office snoopervisor for the Lady Peep. She passed with what I hope cats feel that is a peace at being loved and respected to the end. If she had to go, the way she left was peaceful. Once again I can’t let go here but I am going to breathe deep and wish you all the strength you need to ride this roller coaster of emotions. You will get there… I know all of us want to help.

    • Thanks for your kind words. She was my quirky girl and no one can take her place. I remember when she came here. One of her first acts was to dumpster dive into the kitchen trash looking for food scraps. She always had enough food and didn’t do that again until a month ago when I was chopping up rotisserie chicken (and obviously not fast enough for her). She dumped the kitchen trash making a big mess. Maybe it was my going away gift. I feel badly that I didn’t know earlier so I could have intervened and maybe eased any discomfort. It was so sudden and quick. Maybe that’s a blessing for her.

  6. It is sad – a pet’s demise leaves such a void. You sit at your computer now and can’t help but think of that special time you shared with Gracie. Thankfully you can scroll through your blog and see the many photos, like you posted today and relive the memories.

      • Gracie was your companion and inspiration. After my canary Buddy had a stroke and was euthanized, I had to put something in the corner of the kitchen where his cage was … a big empty space reminded me of him even more. Because I worked at home and spent most of the day in the kitchen, there was a big void to fill. I moved the toaster oven there, in place of the cage and tried not to look over there. It was tough to lose a companion pet, so I know how you feel.

  14. Of course you’re still sad. I’m sad. Anne’s sad. All Gracie’s admirers are sad. She was a force. Funny, smart. Loved her sarcasm. I truly saw her gazing at a teleprompter as she reported all the news at Chez Crimmins. Excuse me while I cry.

  17. Such a beautiful girl, she looks like our Lily that we lost 2 years ago to diabetes. Give yourselves time to grieve and heal.

      • It’s tough disease to manage; my parents had 1 cat with diabetes and Snoopy did very well for several years so we were hopeful at the time.

        • The first cat lived 5 years with it and this was back in the early 90s when treatment wasn’t as good. My second cat had it for 9 years, 2 injections a day. He needed an insulin used for people and he did very well. I had a third cat that was also diagnosed with it but she had other issues that ultimately led to her death.

    • Thanks. Not sure who will be the alpha. Sasha with her swinging hips and demanding nature? Not Gus, he’s too good natured and he’s male. Morgan isn’t interested in power unless it comes with extra treats.

    • It is. We’ve had some other “tragedies” happening too so it’s hard to dig out before being bombed with another wave of sadness. This October will not be one of my favorites.
