RE: The Lego wing cat

in OCD5 years ago

Great idea those shallow box lids for containers (used yoghurt pots and icecream tubs for my son's techno projects). I'd have gone beserk if my Kleo would have jumped up to wing it! You know how much fun it is to tip those lids up and make the contents fly? Groan.... (sadly my Kleo is no longer with us since many years, but it sure brings back memories of the purring kind to see yours in excellent building condition). And oh, yes, those lego thumbs.... don't remind me!

Sort:  

You're right, I was a little nervous about her turning up one of those lids and sending my Lego bots all over the room...Didn't happen on this occasion though so I got lucky. That's why I use those lids as I can stack them and put them away if I have to stop building before a stage is complete.

We all miss our pets when they go. I have a black cat called Merlin who is 22 years old so pretty ancient. Se are going to be devastated when he leaves us.

Good news for you there: my mother's cat lived to the ripe old age of 26 would you believe it! (Good, as long as they are still able to totter about and suck up some food happily enough that is.)

Still, we have the memories for ever more (and in Kleo's case - if this isn't too morbid sounding for your: a little tin with her cremated remains, what I imagine to be teeth and bits of bone, to rattle ever so gently as if to summon her spirit again. Something I had to grow used to having on my mantle piece -discretely tucked away - but helpful in processing her demise for my autistic son.)

It's always difficult to lose pets and I don't think it get's any easier the more it happens. We're not looking forward to losing Merlin but at 22 we know it will happen. We will have good memories of him though. Cleo too. 26 is old for a cat an we would be really glad to have Merlin around for that long!
