So, I stumbled upon this part of the message boards, as I wait for replies on another thread. I post alot, but I never post much about Callie anymore, I guess because I'm more-so talking about Lily & Zoe. Please let me reflect on Callie. On the 16, it'll be three years since she left me and Lily. Yesterday I was in tears reading back posts from when it happened. Callie was hit by a car. I was out on my walk, and on my way home, I found her, lying there. She actually looked peaceful though. I remember it so vividly. She was such a sweet cat. Never scratched me, or furniture, and she loved her "sister" Lily so much. She had been a feral cat, who came into my life in 2012, and I had just gotten Lily, and they bonded so well. She's the only cat I ever had who actually loved affection, I could hold her and she'd just love it, she would sleep with me, and sit with me on the couch. She was such a strong cat, a fighter. Fought against all odds living in the woods on her own, till she found a home with me. I remember my dad saying when we first found her, how she had a "will to live and to survive". How she didn't see that car coming or what possessed her to cross the street, I'll never know. I remember how when it happened I was sitting on the stairs screaming her name, and Lily came running to me, with her eyes so big, I think she knew then, that something horrible had just happened to Callie.
As i look back on three years ago, I think about Lily too. Lily never went back to the Lily she was before August 16, 2016. Her attitude changed. Ever since then she's been my grumpy old lady, and shes just turning 7 this month. Before she was playful, and loved playing with Callie, and never growled at her. Now, she's grumpy a lot, lazy, and doesn't like playing with Zoe. Zoe is the kitten I got several weeks after Callie passed, because I thought it would help Lily with being so lonely. They don't hate eachother by any means, but the bond is no where near what it was with Callie and Lily.
I still miss her. I wonder what it would be like if that never happened. She'd be about 7 and half now.
She had so much heart, I guess you could call her an "old wise soul"
