When Saki First Came Home

[lavendertook]

Tonight is 6 months without Saki. Here are some of my first pics of her when I brought her home from the county shelter. Pre-digital pics. I'm still figuring out how to use a new Canon printer/scanner I got this weekend, that is way more complicated to figure out than it should be.


Basket full of love.


Comfortable on the sofa.


Sitting pretty in the bathroom window with her big wild eyes. She was a cute little kitty, but she just got more beautiful as she aged and became more steeped in love.

I miss you so much, little girl.

Sweet little girl. So sorry she's gone.

[lavendertook]

Thank you, sweetie. She had a good, long run, but I can't help wishing it were longer still.

Saki was a beauty, no question about it. And, yeah, I know what you're saying about her long run that you wish were longer still. We all have at least one in our lives.

She was a cutie and a beauty. <3

Pretty girl. We never have them long enough, I'm glad you have so many remembrances of her.

[lavendertook]

She was. It is a comfort to know she lived to a good age. <3

Aw, Saki, she was a lovely girl. I love the basket picture! And you're right, as an adult she was beautiful.

This is sadly timed with the dream I just woke up from where I was looking for my dead cat French Fry because she had left the house in our new neighbourhood and I needed to find her before something bad happened.

Her markings blended together more and her eyes became more full of self-possession.

Oh, your dear French Fry. The beloved cat getting outside and lost are the worst kind of anxiety dreams--I hate those! *hugs*

Oh my, she was just such a beautiful kitten.

She was. I fell in love with her little face and manner immediately. They estimated her to be a year old at the shelter, but I kind of think she looked younger--maybe more like 8 or 9 months. I dunno.

Oh, such a lovely cat.

She was such cutie.
