I’m recovering from a bad MS flare up (attack) so I’m stuck at my mom’s house for at least another two weeks. (Fall risk insurance hoops.) My kitten/teen (17 months) is just fine at Nana’s (he visits every weekend for 2 days.)
So anyhow I’m back in the house where we used to live & with the cats that His friends. I just am feeling that empty hole he left more.
I lost the first 5 years of photos in the divorce.
Salem was Rune’s cat so I wanted a kitten. At the time ironically I was looking for a playmate for Salem & Dante was a toy hogging bully. So my neighbor heard I was looking for a kitten. She asked me what kind and I said it didn’t matter if it was a grey tabby, It was a blind adoption so fate played a role. I got s barely weaned ?6? Week old kitten with giagantic bat ears. He grew and a couple weeks later I see Salem meowing for help & walking in slow circles as this wee punk kitten is biting his neck & hanging onto him .. his little legs dangling & no where near touching the ground!!! I rescued Salem. Dante grew, in his terrorist ways, using Salem as a living toy. He grew worse and worse until st 4 months I let him go outside!!! It was magic how it calmed him down! So I trained him to stay within the yard/fence. It took a couple years to get him to be great at it, but in a couple of months my clever boy behaved with supervision. Then I divorced & moved in with my mom & he got a great big yard!!!
Dante got me through the worst year of my life when I was in agonizing pain (& no pain meds) waiting for my SSI to be approved and going through the devestation of a divorce from a man that I had lived with all I was. He earned his halo for that one!
Dante’s favorite bird blind:
His favorite spot in my room
How my Bud loved to destroy paper, ripping off a piece of newspaper & spitting it out, then attacking it again! Plus his big old bat ears!!!!
I miss his periscope tail of trouble! This is after 4 years when he finally decided to befriend my mom. Lots of treats were involved & she had to forgive my punk for bullying her senior declawed bottle baby.
His love of hunting/stalking went to drawrf hamsters to.
Lastly even though he was ill (& hiding it at the time) he still opened his heart and became an uncle to three bottle babies. He buddied up and passed the punk torch to Jackie. In retrospect I’m amazed that he shared me with the baby minions without a complaint!!!!
I miss my hyper, toy hog, lap loving shadow and my best Bud ..... I may always miss him a little bit. Putting this together makes me think I need to make a picture book of his life story
