goodbye, love
Oct. 13th, 2022 11:53 amIt is with extremely heavy hearts that Erica and I announce our dear Lady Zoe Blubbington has joined her brother on the other side. Immediately after Detective Pigglesworth passed in June, Zoe fell into a deep depression. Cats grieve from 3 to 6 months when a loved one dies. She was at 4 months and last week we saw some signs in Zoe that gave us hope. But it was not to be.
Zoe was gentle, unassuming and sensitive. She liked to eat peas, spaghetti, gravy and liverwurst. Like any good lady she never met a dessert she did not like. Pop Tarts, cookies, Cheez-Its and saltines were some of her favorites. She slept on our headboard and snored. A countless number of times Erica and I were awakened by this. At times she would sleep on the couch in the living room and we would have to turn the TV up a little because her snoring was so loud. Since the day she adopted us her meow was unique. It was more a squack than a meow. We referred to it as her “bark”. Imagine if the singer of AC/DC were a cat.
She left us last night. I don’t know if it was her natural time to go but Erica is of the opinion a broken heart pulled her under. We will never know for sure. I doknow that she is going to be greatly missed.
Today was the first time in approximately 5,555 days I ran the vacuum cleaner and wasn’t able to watch either of our cats run away. Allison Da Housecat came into my life in 1994. She left in 2007. MeMum told me to wait a while before jumping back in but coming home to an empty house was too much for me. Zoe and Detective Ziggy P came to us three weeks after Allison left. My house has been cat free for only three weeks and a day of the last 28 years.
