From remembering my Mina's angel day to celebrating my current two's Fourth birthday...it is good to mark these occasions in special ways.
A dear friend, who is a responsible owner,had fixed all her cats but one, as the mommy cat Fiona had recently had a litter. She was slated to be spayed soon, when my friend took in another stray, Wallace, who obviously hadn't been fixed. You guessed it! On February 17, 2009 a litter of four was born.
My friend knew I was still in complete sadness over the far too soon passing of Mina. She wanted me to meet a "pink nosed kitten" who had just turned one month old. Well my mantra of "NO MORE CATS" - because of the deep pain I carried (I did not want to get attached to another cat ever again for fear of losing them too soon) was quickly dissolved and my Keely had been found. She was beautiful when I met her - and Keely means "Beautiful" in Irish. Just then one of the other kittens brazenly walked over of her own accord to say hello. It was a black and white tuxedo, just like my Katarina had been, with white up her nose, just like Mina had. I admired her spunk, and her white tipped tail! Before I knew it my friend was thinking it would be best to take two...without much thinking I chose Fiona...which means "Fair, pretty" in Scottish. I had my Celtic kitties!
Above is a photo of meeting them that day. I was told that they were inseparable from that moment on - like they knew they would being leaving their home to come live with me in a month's time.
My two sisters from the same litter came into my home on April 22, 2009 ~ Earth Day.
They have brought me the joy of new life and companionship... and have helped me heal my Mina wounds. Mina is never forgotten and I believe I have been able to move on and became a fearless warrior in the "Fight to Find a Cure for FIP" because of these two sweethearts and the love they give me.
Today, February 26, 2013, is World Spay Day -
Luckily these two had a home waiting for them.
So many do not - PLEASE remember to SPAY & NEUTER.
Be part of the solution!
