Saki Sunday

My beautiful girl with her little crossed paws, contemplative:






Princess Saki enthroned in the sunroom with a subject at her feet.


The forth week without her, Tuxie seemed to have stopped looking for her, but he is still mostly staying near or in her spots in the living room, and is staying more present with me when I'm home. Right now, he is lying where he is sitting in the picture above, right in front of me. He and Moo both licked my hand twice this past week, a totally new behavior for them.


Sakushka always had to throw one back foot over the rim of her bed. I have a pic of her doing that the first year she was with me.


The ottoman was her most frequented bed spot since we moved to this apartment 8 years ago, where she could guard me when I sat on the loveseat sofa. In her bed like a little Saki sunday.


I don't think she slept as solid as she should have when I was home--she always had to keep an eye on me. Little fluff dragon in the center of things. I miss her so much.

"If you're not going to brush me, then put away that camera and let me sleep."

and now she can, dear heart. May flights of angels sing the sweet, velvet-coatedness of her to her rest.

Such a wonderful cat being she was. "Was" is still hard.

I just dream she is play-fighting with Milli, and grooming and cuddling with Stormie, and having a luncheon with Tonks, Sophie, and Smudge.

sometimes dremes are all we have.........but that's not necessarily a bad thing....they are ever so much better than nightmares being all we have....

Very true. I will cling to gratitude she was in my life and wrap our 16 years together around me.

16 years! more love, for more time, than many a relationship has.

you are fortunate indeed!

I am. She truly romanced me, my fluff dragon. *hugs*

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs back))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

truly a seductress. No wine, no dinner, no movies.....just heart and soul. We should all find a purrrrr(e) being like that.

She was quite a luminescent little bubble I was lucky to be loved by. Not that she couldn't be a pain in the butt, but her headstrong-ness was an awesome part of the package.

it would be too boring to be loved by a being that is *just* luminous. The strong will is part of the luminosity, the ying-yang of the thing. The light shines that much brighter for knowing there is a will and a promise of aggressive *self-hood* behind it, imho

I agree. It made her lovingness and care a choosing. And I was blessed to be chosen.

Thank you, dear.

I was just able to watch the first couple of minutes thus far--boy, Saruman goes on--you hadn't even spoken yet. You look terrific though. Red hair suits you.
