Today our neighbor's cat Daisy was hit by a car and killed. I did not see it and I am thankful...i got the play by play a bit from the neighbor's daughter...who is close to my age. I guess they have had their fair share of cat burials in the backyard. I cried like I had just lost my best friend. I had only known her a year or so. She was a lovely little being. So sweet and so kind in nature. I recall one perfect photo opportunity when she was nestled in on Matt's lap kneading her paws...(making the bread..) like she always did...drooling like nothing I'd ever seen....(a truly happy cat) Matt was asleep and I thought how I really should have gotten my camera for that moment and didn't want to wake him. Assuming that the opportunity would come again sometime. We always think that...don't we? Next time.
We'll miss her cuddles and her cute little face. Bye Daisy... what a precious little gift you were.

Aw, she looks a beauty! You're going to make me cry now. My mom's cat, whom she'd had for about 18 months, disappeared a while back. Her name was Bugsy (because when mom got her she was tiny and cute as a bug's ear). My mom didn't really want a cat, it was a gift to her, but she really fell in love with Bugs. Sigh. So did we when were visited in February. The simple, beautiful things in life that we appreciate, a beautiful, peaceful village and a loving, sweet pet...
