Willie

Yesterday would have been Willie's 9th birthday. We lost him quite suddenly in early February. He's definitely missed around here. Especially by his buddy, Cammie. They were crated together when they were just tiny little kittens, so except for the genetic details, they are brother and sister.

Cammie is adjusting, but she's certainly a different cat now. She walked around the house crying and howling the first couple weeks Willie was gone. It was heartwrenching to hear. She has settled into a new normal now. She sleeps on my head all. night. long. She's my little shadow when the kids aren't around. She begs for human food more than ever.

Anyway, we miss Willie. We ordered a memorial stone to put by the tree where we buried him. It should come in in the next few weeks. I also need to get a stone for Mae, since we planted the tree in her remembrance in the first place.
