cats in the condo cats in the condo after loss comes grief we miss our mr tucker now we consider whether we re ready to adopt some new friends this is a chronicle of that journey 04 november 2012 dona nobis pacem hello pam here you may or may not know that i lost both of my parents when i was 18 years old my mom died of breast cancer on june 18 1985 my dad commited suicide one month later i finally gave up being angry three years ago i guess it took me so long because i didn t realize i was angry my mom fought right up until the end but some battles are doomed from the start it was hard to see her change from a strong vibrant woman to the thin pale shell she was when she died my dad quit fighting when mom took her last breath i didn t understand it at the time but the reason he waited a month before he followed her was that he wanted to arrange their affairs so i wouldn t have any issue with wills and insurance after he took his own life i would rather he had found the courage to stay with me i never did appreciate what made him so certain that he couldn t survive without her i get it now his connection to my mother was stronger than his connection to me and to life that s hard to accept but it has to be true otherwise he would have grieved and recovered in time or if not recovered at least learned how to survive without her i forgave him for that three years ago i felt uplifted when i did i felt free my perspective changed that last emotional barrier between me and travis melted away i finally was able am able now to give to and take from travis more completely when i read that maya angelou quote it made so much sense the life i led from 18 to 42 was mostly one of survival and routine there were hints of compassion i had some laughs with my friends and colleagues i learned to be kind and caring but the passion was missing when travis and i met i almost said no to his dinner invitation i thought it might be better if i didn t try i think i realized instinctively that i might be ok for basic relationships like friendship but not for a deep relationship like committing to being in love with someone i m glad i didn t follow that initial impulse those first moments with him made me remember what my parents were like before mom got sick it took time but my relationship with travis taught me to forgive once i forgave dad i couldn t be angry with him anymore i m at peace with cancer robbing me of my mom i m at peace with dad choosing to follow mom instead of finding a way to live without her because i have inner peace i thrive with passion and compassion and humor and style and generosity and kindness like ms angelou said i have learned how to live my life without regret and with profound gratitude that i have been able to release the darker emotions that were keeping me from remembering how much i loved and respected my father his choice was devastating but his spirit is joined to mom s as it was always meant to be i can t continue to be angry with him for going to her i feel like our spirits mine and travis are meant to be joined just that same way dona nobis pacem posted by travis cody at 00 30 16 comments labels dona nobis pacem 29 october 2012 prepare hi pam here our thoughts and best wishes are with our friends on the east coast as sandy comes barreling onshore later today travis and i have been watching the weather channel this morning the winds and storm surge are pretty intense already it got me thinking we ve never had to worry about evacuating here but travis did have to prepare when he lived in southern california during a massive wild fire he had mr tucker with him luckily he never had to evacuate are you prepared for a disaster do you have emergency supplies for 3 5 days do you know your evacuation route do you know where the nearest shelters are located have you thought of the same things for your pets the aspca has a great disaster preparedness check list here is a summary of things to remember so that you and your pets have the best chance to make it through a disaster get a rescue alert sticker arrange a safe haven emergency supplies and travel kits choose designated care givers evacuation preparation geographic and climatic considerations the website goes into detail about each of those points it also provides special consideration sections for birds reptiles and small animals such as hamsters or mice you want your family to be safe during and after a disaster your pets are part of your family prepare to keep them safe too posted by travis cody at 00 30 2

blog blast hi pam here i ve been on the periphery of blog blast since i met travis because i haven t had a blog but as we get closer to the date 4 november 2012 i see mimi and travis and so many other bloggers start to put up notices and think about their peace globes every year i see the work that goes into blog blast and it inspires me i read the posts with travis i marvel at the creativity and i m so moved by the words travis has made my peace globes in the past this year i want to participate myself with my own peace globe that i design and make and my own words that i think about and write as mimi says i have a voice i m going to use it right here in this space on 4 november if you ve never participated consider it posted by travis cody at 00 30 no comments labels dona nobis pacem 07 august 2012 patience hi pam here i want kitties travis isn t ready patience is hard posted by travis cody at 00 30 3 comments labels general 25 july 2012 vacation hi pam here vacations are wonderful but going back to work can sure be tiring i had piles of proposals and contracts to review on monday and that spilled into tuesday travis had an it issue with a key system that caused a system to run abnormally slow don t even ask how many emails i still have to go through we loved seeing mr newby again he s such a mild kitty cat but boy has he gotten vocal we were up every morning at 5am because he was ready to eat and spend some time outdoors miss kailey was sweet but very nervous she did eventually warm up to us she enjoys belly rubs and she ll wrap her front paws around your arm and bunny kick we watched the movie how to train your dragon take a look at that little girl there and tell me doesn t she look like the night fury of course we also enjoyed our visit with family we spent 10 days with travis folks in the middle we went to california and saw travis aunt and uncle and cousins in oceanside then we drove up the coast to visit with his sister that was when travis earned his uncle of the decade award by buying his niece an iphone we relaxed so much that we completely forgot to take any pictures i know i couldn t believe it either we took the camera and left it in the bag for the entire two weeks oh well now the talking really begins about whether we re ready for cats of our own we ll keep you posted posted by travis cody at 00 30 3 comments labels general 22 june 2012 boxes hi pam here tuesday was international box day and i forgot if you are a cat parent have been a cat parent or intend to be a cat parent you must learn about this most important day cats and boxes boxes and cats they go together like peanut butter and chocolate unfortunately we don t seem to have any pictures of mr tucker actually in a box i remember he did play in them when we were unpacking after we moved to the condo but he was really more of a bag kitty than a box kitty although sometimes he hid his woobie in a box you can just see the red woobie feathers i did find mr bailey in a box if you don t have your own cat or you do and he s not a box kitty remember there s always maru happy belated international box day posted by travis cody at 00 30 2 comments labels behavior 14 june 2012 loss hi gang travis here i have a link to cat bloggosphere that brings me the latest posts in my reader yesterday there was a post titled run free grayson about the passing of a beautiful gray long haired boy yikes barb at dailygs has a beautiful gray long haired boy called grayson oh noes edit i hate it when i meant to write something and think i did write it but then it turns out i didn t i meant to tell you that barb s wonderful whitey had to go to the bridge this past march and it would be doubly devastating for barb if now grayson left too evidently i only typed that in my head i clicked on the link and heaved a great big relieved sigh it wasn t barb s gray boy who ran off to the bridge a different family lost their kitty it s odd how relieved i was for just that moment i was so sad for my blog pal a person i ve never met or spoken to a person i only know through her daily writings and photographs when i lost mr tucker in march 2011 barb wrote to me in comments saying farewell to our little furbabies is the hardest part of loving them big hugs trav so many of my blog pals sent similar heartfelt messages i was relieved for barb and pleased that her grayson was still bright and healthy but then i paused i thought about that other family they mourn for their sweet grayson today they ll miss him like i still miss mr tucker they ll miss their grayson like barb would have missed her gray boy our little furry friends leave us before we re ready to part with them as painful as it is when they run off to the bridge it really is worth it for all the days of fun and frolics that they bring while they stay with us head butts to barb s mr grayson and to her mr gandalf and to little miss gracie too run strong and free grayson the other gray boy who has gone to the bridge posted by travis cody at 00 30 5 comments labels loss 01 june 2012 opinions kitty haz dem posted by travis cody at 20 01 3 comments labels general 14 may 2012 three hi pam here three is more than two of course it is but sometimes a girl needs a practical demonstration before she makes a life altering decision for herself her man and some kitty cats we re keeping an eye on our neighbor s kitties this weekend and the next she has three the older two are about 8 years old both male and she s had them from kittens they came together although they are not litter mates the one is fiercely independent his name is lindy he spends afternoons outside but he never roams very far he likes travis and they seem to have an understanding between them lindy isn t quite so sure about me so i ve learned to let him come to me or not as he chooses the other is rudy and i think of him as a special needs kitty he has long hair that needs brushing and a mushed face with weepy eyes and he s a snuggle boy who needs lots of cuddling this morning when we went next door to do the morning chores he was the first one to greet us after he had his breakfast he came right to me to get his eyes cleaned and his hair brushed smooth and then sit for some snuggles rudy has the sweetest purr it s very soothing but there are three little miss jojo is just about a year old she joined the family next door last april she s a real kitten loves to play and roll around she takes on lindy who has about 5lbs on her and really doesn t want to be bothered he smacks her and gives her hisses but she just comes back for more she s also quite the chatterbox travis has conversations with her like he used to do with mr tucker in fact miss jojo has markings very similar to mr tucker although she is quite petite i know what it will take to keep multiple cats when the country gentlemen visited here we had three mr bailey mr newby and mr tucker and when we watch our neighbor s kitties there are three it s extra food and litter and a lot more work to make sure all three get the attention they want and need plus extra trips to the vet to keep them all healthy and happy they seem to each decide what they want from you then it s your job to be what they want but with three i think there s another piece of the puzzle i watch lindy and i wonder if he s trying to get just a little more of the attention the other two demand but he s not sure how to ask for it so it seems important to be in sync with each personality understand when one might be feeling left out then figure out how to fix that maybe lindy isn t so aloof as he seems travis says he often walks right up to him outside and they have a few minutes of head buts and discussion i don t know how my neighbor does it by herself
