My mother lost one of her cats over the weekend. Bud (Buford Ewing Davis- named for a beloved John Travolta character from Urban Cowboy) was 12 years old and seems to have passed peacefully in his sleep. He was a sweet special kitty. He didn’t particularly like anyone other than mother, but he had his moments. I saw him last week, and although he wasn’t getting around as good as he used to, he looked well and I’m glad I had a chance to see him and pat his head. He was SO soft. And SO mean misunderstood. He will be missed dearly.

Bud at Christmas (Bad photo- he never let me get too close, it made him uncomfortable.)

Bud leaves behind his beloved cat, Steve. (Bud was Mom’s cat, Steve was Bud’s cat.) Steve is missing him lots.

By the way, how DO you tell if a cat is depressed? They sleep all the time anyways.

On a happier note, and since I have no knitting content of my own (I’ve been busy) Here is a picture of my Mom’s first felted bag- the clutch from One Skein (yeah, I know, we love that book a little excessively.)

Didn’t she do a lovely job?

Mom Says:

Thank you, precious, for your kind (sorta) words about Bud. You and Bud had a very special hate/hate relationship. You loved to tease him and get him to put on his “play face.” I miss his soft silky fur and the way he wanted his head rubbed forever. He was soooo sweet when no one was around to see him but me. I am really missing him.

The ASPCA has a website of plants that are toxic to pets. I was checking it out and I saw the side effects of one of them was hallucinations. Now tell me - how can you tell if a pet is hallucinating?

Claudia Says:

I am sorry about Bud. I am sure he went to kitty heaven. Your mom’s clutch looks too cute. I like that book, too - a lot. ;-)
