Cat Convos: Loki

yy120804 -  - medium

I’ve been putting off this post for quite awhile as it makes our loss far too real. Loki passed away peacefully at home surrounded by all of us who loved him dearly. Despite our unwillingness to let him go, Loki chose to saunter over to his next adventure.

Hiyu: Loki was the best playmate ever and the softest pillow in the world.

Kuri: Loki was born first, so literally, he was there for every moment of my life. I miss him terribly. Bengal in a box

Me: The three of you had a lot of fun together.

Kuri: I keep forgetting he’s gone. He always answered when I called him, and I always answered when he called me. You always called it a game of Marco Polo, but it was really a game of Loki Kuri.

A pari of bengalsKuri: And sometimes it feels like he’s never left me, sort of like, he’s with me sharing my body and soul.

Me: Is that why you sometimes do things only your brother used to do?20131206_000045000_iOS

CAT Testing

Hiyu: Loki was the coolest cat ever. I miss him. He taught me how to play and how to really nap like a master napster. In return, I taught him the nuances of climbing and  balance.IMG_4504-small 20110905-60d-0209-small

Me: In our memories and in our hearts.

TLC, Bengal style

 

Kuri: Since I’m sure Loki is often still around, can he still join us for Cat Convos? I can tell you want he wants to say.

We’ve been away on midlife crisis.

One of our regularly scheduled, every five years or so, midlife re-evaluation of where, what, how, why. It’s when we step back, reevaluate, and decide what is of the greatest importance at each new stage in life.

We are sad to announce that sweet, beautiful Loki has been diagnosed with lymphoma and we do not know how much longer he will be with us. It is not a change any of us want.

160409-SX50-6334Most of the path forward remains the same: passionate about writing and creating stories, collecting and sharing world myth, loving my Bengals and immersing myself in the issues of diversity and inclusion.

There may be a little more on CERT (Citizen Emergency Response Team) and CERT (Cat Emergency Response Team).

Cat Convos will continue.

I’m looking forward to sharing the adventure with you.
