SYLVIE

Fort Worth, TX

Sylvie was looking for Sadie today and was talking to me a lot. She is the outdoor cat that lives in my backyard. She and Sadie have been friends for a long time. Sylvie went to the backdoor and mewed, looked at me then back to the door. I told her Sadie would not be coming home and held her for a while. She let me take her pic and then went and sat under the tree Sadie loved to sit under when I was outside with her. I think she thought Sadie was her Mom.

No doubt she's greiving. Our cat and first dog were best buddies as well. When he passed away, she went into a major funk. It took her a really long time to come around to being herself again. In fact, she completed her recovery when we got Oscar. Had I not seen this for myself I wouldn't have believed that dogs and cats could have such strong bonds. Hope Sylvie will be ok.

No doubt: she misses Sadie. It is visable in her beautiful eyes. She looks sad.
Maybe you can comfort each other.

Very poignant, Cindi, and a wonderful photo of this lovely cat. Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better, but it does take time to get over such a loss.
