I have received Isolde's casket it is very pretty a small teak box with a flowering branch carved into it, the casket has been by my pillow for a couple of days now as i am trying to learn to sleep without my girl. The other cats are slowly moving into her spots. I will wake up with Kinji close and Lusitania beside him, which before now would never have happened. Moira and Robber still sleep in their regular spots between my knees and the wall.
The really odd thing is they are now letting the kittens in the room. they have gone so far as to let Frankie sleep on my bed.

I have seen Frankie's father a very handsome snowshoe was walking around in the backyard. so i now have an idea on how Frank is going to turn out with the difference that Frank is scheduled to be fixed on the 18th of February with Isadora and Gianni.
With me being so upset about Isolde i missed that Gianni was in distress it appears that he is allergic to pine! I had been using pellets for a pellet stove as their litter so that when i was given some feline pine and did not think before using it also could not understand why Gianni went into hiding. He looked like someone threw acid on him. He is better now his hair is growing back and he is used to his feet being soaked.
I am seeing a difference in the tabby kittens now. I no longer have to lift a tail to know who is whom. Isadora has a more abby ticked coat she is also very lean. Carmen is a more stocky little girl. Gianni has chiseled features.
