For Odysseus

My mother had breathing problems.  Fluid was accumulating because of the occluded valve in her heart.  She had to go hospital, but thankfully is now back “home” in extended care. 

Just as we were getting my mother sorted out, our tiny tuxy kitty girl, Odysseus, all of a sudden got sick.  Really very sick.  We did everything we could but in just a couple of days, she died. The Bridge lit up, and she went across it.  She was extremely close to my son, Chris.  She took her last breaths in his arms in the same spot and room she took her first breaths in.  And where he’d sit on the floor with Pungy and her three baby kittens.  I can’t believe Pungy is gone and now so are two of her kittens.  We only have Piewhackits and Oliver now.  It hurts so much.

Ann, at Zoolatry, kindly made this for us, for Odysseus. Although she was a girl, she earned her name by being the first of the three kittens to bravely leave their room, and come downstairs all by herself. Our brave little tiny tuxy girl with the itty bitty pink paws, nothing but sweetness and love.
