Remembering Claudie and Sherpa’s One Year With Us

Four years ago today I lost my best friend and my 'Muse the mews."

It still makes me sad, I still miss that cat terribly. I have his ashes in an urn by my bed, I talk to him now and then and I swear sometimes he's here playing with the rest of them when they chase off after nothing.

He was my first cat, he was my love and he was responsible for making me the crazy cat lady I am today.

I didn't want this day to go forgotten.

I still love you and miss you, Claudie.



I wrote this last year, it seemed worth re-posting. More on Sherpa as she is now tomorrow!

Three years ago today I lost my first cat. Claude was my best friend, the keeper of my secrets and my strength. He was my 'Muse that Mews' and I still miss him dearly. Even my dad liked Claude, he would sleep right next to the heater in the den with him. I keep Claude's ashes in an urn on my desk and I still talk to him and miss him.

So it seems fitting that on the anniversary of a loss we celebrate an addition.

My mother and I decided this house needed something so we went for a cat. I have a hell of a story to tell about that but I'm going to save that, this entry is written with respect for my Claudie.

Please allow me to introduce the newest addition to the Ives family - Sherpa. Yes, Sherpa.







She's 6-7 months old and she hasn't stopped running since we let her out of the carrier. She's sweet and full of life and I think today was the first day I smiled and meant it since my dad died.

Here's to a long and happy life, little Sherpa. And Claudie, you are always with me to this day. I hope you're out there sleeping next to my dad and his heater somewhere.

Meow.

1. *holds a mug of catnip tea* Here’s to Claude in all his fantastic-ness. Here’s to Sherpa and her life as a mewmuse.

   Blessings to you and your new companion as well as honoring your old.

2. Adjustability in a one-size fitted diaper without bulk at the hips. These diapers have soft cotton leg gathers and an inner panel which is like a doubler built in. They snap down to make three different sizes! Cotton flannellette outsides with cotton terry sandwiched inside the flannellette. The soft flannellette touches baby. These are 100% cotton which is surprisingly very hard to find in a non-organic fitted diaper. Do not confuse our Snug-to-Fit Supreme with other diapers called just Snug-to-Fit, which may have up to 10% polyester in them, or not have cotton terry inside.
