Ribh's D'Coopage

A late Caturday addition.....

The Maine Coon in her natural weather

Soda is gone too.
In all honesty I wasn't expecting to find her alive this morning.
A storm rolled through late afternoon. Most of the girls were on the patio. Not Soda. I thought she was in the shed as she has been napping there late afternoon but wherever she sheltered wasn't adequate as she was soaked through. I dried her off, but old lady that she was, she kept nodding off & when I carried her to roost I noticed that in just a few days she had lost all her condition & was as light as Olivia. Without Hepzibah I think she lost all will to live.

She was the last of my original 5.

This is my favourite photo of her. My 3 big girls were dustbathing together happily when along came Soda & plonked herself in the middle of them! At least she was comfy!

She is a fantastic cat, Bob. She just gets more & more wonderful.

She had a rough day on Thursday. Watching the outside world and then napping.

Good morning/evening everyone

How are you doing, Sue? Have things improved for you?

I am very very sorry for your loss. I know how hard this can be. Lilly is my last connection to the real origins of my tribe. I know how devastated I am going to be when the time comes.

I wish that this burden had passed you by but that is not possible. We all face it eventually. What a wondrous group they all were. You were blessed to have each other.

She is a fantastic cat, Bob. She just gets more & more wonderful.

And more and more challenging. She is not supposed to be out.

I wish there were some giggle chickens near my house. I love them.

Oh no!! I'm so sorry Ribh you're having an awful week.

Dear old Soda. She was such a sensible old girl.
