I am so sorry. :candle

Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.

I was born in 1988. So, that means Meer lived a long and happy life. I am sorry she had to go, but I'm sure she is in kitty heaven with Jezebel. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grieving.

Oh, Tam, I'm so sorry. Meer is in good company - my kitty angels Bootsy, Fred, Wilma, Kitty, Beau, OJ, Squeak, Alex, and Tammy will show her the ropes along with her best pal who was waiting for her..

I was digging through my blog today, and found a couple of entries about Meer from 2007:

Ode to a Very Old Cat

 

She makes a litterbox under my bed

And meows incessantly at nothing

Her cold nose nudges my arm

Little wet moments on my skin

 

Her name means peace

Though she won't let anyone have

No even a little piece

 

Tiny girl with the kink in her tail

Little grey orphan

 

Meer

****************************************************

August 10, 2007

 

The unmown grass is so long and dry that it lies flat in long paths where the kids and I have walked. Tonight it scribes the circumference of the sprinkler's watery darkness. The weight of the water will no doubt keep it down until it succumbs entirely into a narrow rug. The rug will cushion our steps as we walk from the house to the car in the morning, but we won't notice it at all then as we hasten to begin the morning commute. That is the way of the world.

 

The cat is here on the bed next to me as I write. She's old and her fur sticks up in clumps. I can see the striations of her fur. They look like feathers as they get lighter and lighter from the tip to the body. She's nineteen now and has the slender unsteadiness of old age upon her. Brittle as a grandmother and just as verbose. Her voice now is used more often than ever in her life before. As if she's just now realizing how much is left unsaid that needs - urgently - to be taught. I've known her since she was just a few weeks old and her silence was in exact proportion to Jezebel's loudness. (Jezebel was her older, noisier mentor into cathood - or catdom, perhaps.)

 

After Jezebel died, the small voice grew louder and more insistent until now, when sometimes I find myself shouting the unimaginable, "SHUT UP!" at this small grey cat who didn't even discover her voice at all until she was eight.

 

But now, more than eleven (nearly twelve!) years later, she has explored its many uses and volumes. Usually this occurs in the wee hours of the morning. The quietude of the household seems to make the insistent meows all the more satisfying for her. The meek shall inherit the earth. I'm sure Meer - a former peer - will wish them well.
