I wrote this last year, it seemed worth re-posting. More on Sherpa as she is now tomorrow!

Three years ago today I lost my first cat. Claude was my best friend, the keeper of my secrets and my strength. He was my 'Muse that Mews' and I still miss him dearly. Even my dad liked Claude, he would sleep right next to the heater in the den with him. I keep Claude's ashes in an urn on my desk and I still talk to him and miss him.

So it seems fitting that on the anniversary of a loss we celebrate an addition.

My mother and I decided this house needed something so we went for a cat. I have a hell of a story to tell about that but I'm going to save that, this entry is written with respect for my Claudie.

Please allow me to introduce the newest addition to the Ives family - Sherpa. Yes, Sherpa.







She's 6-7 months old and she hasn't stopped running since we let her out of the carrier. She's sweet and full of life and I think today was the first day I smiled and meant it since my dad died.

Here's to a long and happy life, little Sherpa. And Claudie, you are always with me to this day. I hope you're out there sleeping next to my dad and his heater somewhere.

Meow.
