Introducing Claire

Just hanging out

Rascal sending her bad habits from the
grave

I would like to introduce the newest member of my family. Claire. She is a 4-month-old diluted torti grey domestic shorthair.  Also better known as a kitten.  I got her from the humane society in Casper, because like everything else in Casper. I could not find a kitten for sale.  It also isn’t “kitten season” but ooh well.  I had to have phone calls of reference, a letter from my landlord and an interview to qualify for a pet from the humane society.  I expected to go there and pick her up the same day.

Being herself

It took forever to figure out her name.  Her shelter name was like Shabion…, which was not going to work… So it was either Magnolia, Summer, Shea, Spring...and I do like the name Claire (which was one of her sister’s names) and though why not…

Just waking up and this is what I see

Anyway, Claire seems to be a pretty good cat so far (besides pooping in places she is not suppose to be but will over look that for now).  She is very cuddly and playful.  She doesn’t really scratch but is better at using her teeth which I’m not sure is a better thing.  I am glad I choose her over the other 300 cats available there.  She isn’t a baby kitten but just fine with me.  Another corky thing is she can fart and clear a room! I never had a cat that hand such smelly poop.

Claire also is a traveling cat that goes back and forth with me to TJs house.  I feel bad leaving her for hours locked up in the laundry room with no one to play with or be with so she goes everywhere with me so far.

Helping with taxes

I am excited for when she gets to meet TJs puppy in a couple weeks and hope they are the best of friends.  So a puppy and a kitten in the same year will be fun.  I still want a puppy myself but 3 might be a little over kill.  (ooh and don’t forget about the rabbits) 

I do have to say I really still miss Rascal and even have called Claire Rascal a couple times, as well as Kallie.  But that should get better over time.  I’m excited for many more years to come with her.

Butt warmers!

For Christmas TJ got me seat warmers for my jeep... I'm super excited! It's the one thing that my jeep didn't have when I got it.. And now it has everything I want an need in a 'luxury' vehicle. He is so super sweet to install them for me too! I was expecting some anxiety watching him ripping my jeep apart but I did just fine.
I look forward to many years of keeping my butt warm ;p.

In Loving Memory of Rascal

Rascal and her BF Kallie

Rascal and Daisy, last month

Last Thursday I had to put Rascal to sleep. :( It was very sad and devastating for me. I just could't watch her suffer anymore.  She no longer looked comfortable and had a decreased quality of life so I did what was best for her. I feel like a betrayed her a little for some reason, like I didn't try hard enough, but she did live for almost 18 years. She was a big part of my life and I continue to keep thinking she is there when I move a round the house.  I know she had a great life and I need to not be so hard on myself and know she is not suffering anymore.

I buried her out but TJs house, he was soo supportive and help be build a wooden box and dig the hole, she well now be over looking the vast beauty of Wyoming sage brush and wind.

Hanging out with the girls

 She also made me think about my own mortality and family mortality and what I would do and react to my family members death...  As a nurse I see death all the time and except it for others I'm not related to but I don't have much experience with death in my family. So just brings all those feelings to the surface.

Always had to drink fresh dripping water even to her final day

Thanks Rascal for teaching me so much and always being there when I needed a
friend and someone to cry on.


I loved reading all my past posts about her so truly showed how much I loved her and that I wasn't betraying her my putting an end to her suffering. :(

I will miss you

 I will miss her greatly and she will always have a place in my heart.
