Wow, day 8?  That's awesome!!!  You are doing great and should be very proud of yourself.  Give yourself a big pat on the back!!  I'm on day 19 and I feel wonderful at this minute.  I still think about pills just not as much.  I really feel good today.  I didn't go to sleep last nite yet though but not because I feel like ****, it's cuz I just don't feel like goin' to sleep yet.  Was goin' to take an Ativan but nah, I'll fall asleep when I'm tired.

Your little kitty's sound cute.  I just had my 18 year old cat pass away about 2 months ago.  I had him for 18 years, since I was 18 years old so I had him for half of my life.  Other than my family, he's the oldest friend I had and is still dearly missed.  But he had a long pampered wonderful life that's for sure.  When we found him, he was under the bed.  It looked like he just passed away in his sleep.  I didn't notice him sick at all before it happened, so I think he just died in his sleep which is the way I would want him to go without any suffering.  I loved him soooo much though.  Damn, he was the best cat.  Never got into the garbage, never ate off the table or got on the counters.  He never did anything wrong and like yours he would sit on the bathside and swat at the bubbles while I was taking a bath lol...

I'm here for you if you need me and if I don't respond to a post immediately, I will respond as soon as I get on and read your post.  Take care and you are in my thoughts and prayers.  :)

Hugz,

Lil.  :)

Morning Lil :)

Day 19 is just wonderful!  You deserve a HUGE pat on the back for that one. :)  And listen to you - sleep when you are tired - isn't it great that you can say that now!  I am not to that luxury yet but I know it's coming.  I am in good spirits this morning - I know I will be tired later getting up so early and having to work today but it's worth it.  SO worth it!

I am so sorry to hear about your cat.  Without realizing it they work there way into your heart and there is no hope after that!  I love my "baby" and he always is there.  No matter if my day was awful or not.  He doesn't care.  He insists on being loved no matter what and thats fine by me.  Sounds to me that your cat had a wonderful life with you - 18 years - my goodness.  You must have taken really good care of him.  And I am sure he took care of you too!  One thing that always strikes me as funny about cats - is they have their own sort of language.  I will ask him if he is hungry and he responds...I have no idea what he is saying but I think it is somewhere along the lines of "yes I was hungry two hours ago but you were still working and so I have had to wait all this time!" lol  

Love,

Shelby
