remembering…

sometimes i get SOOO busy, and i get very good at shoving things "under the rug" and ignoring them…. part of me wanted to let this day just pass by, but the majority of me couldn't let it happen.

i worked by myself today… it was *super* rainy so the store wasnt wicked busy… i had a looong to do list i was hustling to get done before our bus tour 2morrow…. but even with all that my mind would wander, and remember him.

i think about watcher a lot… i find myself comparing him and mister harley, they are SOOO different but in some ways very similar. i love mister harley to pieces, and hes a fabulous kitty… but i will always hold a special place in my heart for watcher. 

my dad always tells mister harley that he has big shoes to fill ๐Ÿ˜‰ and to be good cause watcher is looking after him ha!  so, really just a day of reflection… memories and remember how watcher truly was watcher the wonder kitty. 

yes he was just a cat.. but to me he was a good friend, and one i will never forget :) 

love you watcher.

    So are you sure Mister Harley is not Watcher reincarnated? I mean look at the way they were laying on that ottoman. Very cute! Definitely sad that Watcher passed, but good that Mister Harley is there for you now.

    aww ๐Ÿ™ i still remember reading about watcher’s passing last year… i cried and cried and cried.
    my kitty will be 16 on november 7th… he’s my best little friend. even though i torture him with super high-pitched whistling – a trick i learned last year. he ALWAYS comes running to a steady high pitched whistle and jumps up on my lap and touches my mouth with his paw to make it stop and turns into the cuddliest little puss.
    i think i’ll go have a snuggle with my little man now ๐Ÿ™‚

    Oh now I’ve got to find a tissue, seriously you have many happy memories of Watcher, Mr Harley is a very different cat and I’m sure well aware of the shoes he has to fit but he has shown you how he needs you. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Your post made me teary-eyed. I can tell how much much you loved your Watcher. I know exactly how you feel. I’ve lost furry family members over the years and they all have special places in my heart to this day. Mister Harley does have big shoes to fill, but he always looks like he’s happy that he found you for his special person. Cats are that way, it seems. Cats need their people as much as we need them, even if they don’t always show it.

    ((hugs)) Anyone who says “just” a cat doesn’t get having a loving pet in your life.
    They’re so much more!!!
    My precious old black lab that passed away 5 years ago still gets me choked up.

    What amazes me is that there are days where I am also reminded of Watcher & he wasn’t even my cat!! ๐Ÿ™‚ I think of him almost every day when I see the orange kitty in my new neighborhood… And because of that, I also think of you. And that is pretty cool!! MISS YOU!!
