I moved to Kelseyville Ca a few weeks ago. I lived in Las Vegas, NV for 6 years. There are some nice things about Las Vegas. I had better medical insurance then I have in CA. Nevada Power was cheaper than some providers. My condo was very expensive for the mortgage and HOA. I moved to live in a more affordable area. My brother lives in this area. I want to rebuild our relationship

I moved to Las Vegas, NV in August 2018. I had Chakan a great cat that lived with me. When he realized I was moving he got sicker with chronic kidney disease. He died a week or so before my scheduled moving date. I adopted another Siamese cat. This boy cat had Water Diabetes. I knew he was sick. I didn't realize the extent of his illness. He died from complications of his disease.

I wanted another cat. I went to the Las Vegas SPCA. I was chosen by a cat I might never have chosen. She is the perfect cat for me. In 2024, I sold my Las Vegas condo and purchased a mobile home in Kelseyville, CA. The cat I named On Choi is a snowshoe with blue eyes and a dark coat. She is beautiful.

This is a small town surrounded by agriculture. I never lived in a small town before. I am a big city girl. Los Angeles, San Diego and Las Vegas are places I lived. I love living in a small town. There are frustrations. The closest Walmart is a 20 drive on a two lane road. I go about every other week. It is quiet here and surrounded by huge trees. I plan to be more active with this page on Facebook. Sending blessings.

The Siamese cat in the photo was Chakan. I adopted him from the El Cajon shelter. He was not fixed and did his job to get as many female cats pregnant. He was scheduled to be put to sleep. I told the shelter I was an experienced owner of Siamese cats and if he was fixed, he would no longer chase female cats.

Years later, I brought home another Siamese cat I got from a irresponsible breeder. Fa Ying had not been spayed. When Chakan met her, he remembered he was supposed to make babies. He jumped on her back. He didn't remember what to do. He looked at me with this confused look on his face. I calmly told him that part of his life was over. He was a great cat.

In 1999, I adopted a cat that helped me heal my broken heart. I just moved back to California, where I was born. She was my constant companion. In 2006, she got sick. A kind vet told me she might not survive. She had a congenital heart defect and she had heart failure. I decided to spend a lot of money to keep her alive. I told my brother. He asked me if that is what my cat wanted. I paused my frantic activity and focused on my cat. I told the vet I would let her go when it was her time.

I few day later, I knew it was time. She was uncomfortable. I called the vet and we drove over. I was with her when she passed over the rainbow bridge. Her last minutes on earth, she knew I loved her.

I wrote a book about this experience. That was my first book which I will rewrite. It is our story. She was part cat and part angel.

I spent time organizing the photos on my laptop computer. I found some photos of Chakan when he was healthy.

I remembered how much I loved that cat and how much he loved me. I still miss him; however, I now live with a female snowshoe cat.

I enjoy her and I love her. My heart expanded so I can continue to love the memory of Chakan and love the presence of On Choi. In loss, we can allow our hearts to expand. Blessings, Nancy

Grief or the process of grieving is not a straight line. One does not start at point A and go to point B and is then complete with grieving.

For me, grieving is like a spiral. For example, I deal with the loss of a pet and it appears I am complete. Then, weeks, months or years later, I remember something about the lost pet, and grief is back. Maybe not at the same intensity. Still, my eyes file with tears and my chest feels tight. When I allow the feelings and breath through them, they pass.

Grieving is a process. Allow the process to unfold. Be kind to yourself as you move through this process.

Blessings,

In the new year, I would like to talk about a slightly different topic. What happens to the pet when their person goes away? I am talking about when family moves and leaves a cat behind. I feed two homeless cats that live in my condo complex. I don't know the story of how they lost thier family. Now they depend on the kindness of strangers for food and comfort. This year, I suggest we all sprend kindness and comfort to animals who lost thier families.

What happens when someone or something is controlled by fear? Fear controls their view of the world. It is like they put on a pair of glasses colored by fear and everything they view is seen through that filter.

I feed a second homeless cat in my condo complex. I call him Albert and he is very timid and fearful. He now gets within 3 feet of me to get food. If I move, he runs away. I wanted to get him calm enough to pet him. Then I realized his fear gives him some protection against people who may not treat this cat nicely.

As we go into this holiday spirit, let’s remember all of the creatures, both human and animal who are lost in their fearful thinking. Maybe just give a hungry cat something to eat in the morning. Or smile at a hurried young mother attempting to complete her shopping list.

As we go into this season of Christmas Lights, let’s all spread just a little light and in doing so, we bring comfort and love to those who are looking for the way home.

Several months ago, I was upset after my cat companion died. Someone I considered to be a casual friend asked the reason I was sad. I told him my cat died. He replied it was only a cat. I realized this person was not my friend. We viewed animals in a different way. He was not wrong. We were simply different. I choose to spend time with people who honor our animal companions.

I live in a condo complex. Some people let their cats run free outside or leave their cats behind then they move. I started feeding a stray which is against the rules. Every morning, that small cat comes to my front door and waits for breakfast. I listed to a higher rule which is treat every creature with kindness and compassion. Also, with breakfast.

I live with an adult Siamese cat I rescued from a shelter in Southern California. He moved with me to Las Vegas.

I enjoy his company even when he meows a lot. Yet, there is a bittersweet quality to my relationship with my cat. I realize I will probably outlive him. Again, I will deal with the end of life issues.

Instead, I choose to live in the present moment. I enjoy every moment I have with my cat. I take lots of photos. I will leave future issues in the future.

I learned a lesson about how fragile lfe caI learned how fragile life can be when I was a young teenager. My dad gave me a puppy for my birthday. He was a Cocker Spaniel mix that was pure black. On a warm summer night, every one in the family went outside to watch my dad drive the car into the garage. My puppy chased the car. He only gave one small yelp. I screamed and ran up the driveway. The puppy laid dead next to the car. We never figured out what happened. The puppy did not look injured. I could not believe he was no longer alive. My dad felt horrible.

We buried him in the backyard and my dad made a tombstone. Our pets may not live as long as we do. I suggest we treasure the time they are part of our lives.
