I don't know for sure, but I suspect they are grieving in their own way. Or maybe I'm just attributing too many human characteristics to my cats.. but I swear they knew she had gone before I did. They acted different from the moment I woke up yesterday, before I got the call..
Sometimes.. I think I see her gray little shadow in passing in our home, but I know it's not her and it hurts. I imagine it will be like that for some time. I'm mostly trying to get by, but it is, of course, hard.
I’m so sad for you. ❤️ We lost two kitties last year and it was really hard on us. The kids had a really hard time and I hated being unable to help them. I totally get what you mean by seeing them in every shadow (or in our case, laundry basket)
Heh. She was never a laundry sleeper, but she was the color of shadows (mottled grays and cream) so she would just "appear" in the doorways, the bathroom, or under your feet when you weren't paying attention. I only knew she was around because of her gigantic jade eyes staring at me from the darkness.
If you don't mind my asking, how old were your cats and what did they pass from? Galaxy succumbed to CKD, which I guess turned into kidney failure. I wasn't aware just how common kidney problems were in cats (she and Magellan are my first cats, before them, I was a dog person!).1 -

I was wondering if @Thetwitchisback 's garden made it through the hard freeze and how it turned out.....
Ours is coming in late and saw you back around and it reminded me.....
Yes, it’s doing alright! Cukes, tomatoes, eggplant, garlic, onions. The spring stuff did well too.
Pumpkins and squash are a little disappointing this year1 -

That's great! I only did tomatoes and peppers. It's all coming in slow but tomatoes are turning and the plants are around 5'5" tall right now.....😁
Wife has pumpkins and they aren't doing well either...
Glad yours came in well!1 -

Both cats were kittens under a year. One was 9 mos and she was killed by a wild animal 😥. The other was one we adopted when we found him very sick and homeless, so we knew his chances were slim but it still hurt.
We have this guy now (and one other cat)

My house has a weird smell in it and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what it is.
I know it's not me; I've given myself the sniff test many times to make sure.

Good Lord, No.
We've had 8 Days recently hitting 115F or hotter and on-track for 45 days over 110F.
Combine that with zero rainfall and the Covid lockdowns, it's been unrelenting.
The mental health and suicide hotlines have been inundated. (understandably so)
Here locally, I read an article yesterday, that a healthy, 30 year old hiker became disoriented and didn't return from his morning walk; they found his body this morning.
Tempers are short, and people are angry & depressed.
This Summer can't end quick enough.7 -

I would like none, thanks. It's been 90+ here since JANUARY. It's close to 100 degrees a day with 80% - 90% humidity. I'm over it.3 -

I doubt it changed much yet since the courts have been closed to filings until recently.
Stay tuned to next year when they skyrocket1 -
Thinking of life and where I want to be. On the side note have to be up all night for work , so getting mentally ready. Enjoy.0
