Dunno if you'll ever read this, but my heart goes out to you. How hard to be on deployment while your kitty is dying.....I almost cried while reading your story. I remember being stationed overseas and "hearing" over instant message that one of my childhood cats died and it was crushing. Very sensitive of your wife to not tell you until you got home. And how heartbreaking that Nena waited for you to be there before she passed on. I love the way you've honored her memory. This kind of story makes me believe in true love and soul mates, and no matter that one soul is a cat soul. I hope the hurt has eased for you, leaving only the good memories.

i have a calico cat too!! by: Anonymous
i felt like sobbing after read your stories. I have a calico cat too where my husband started feeding him from our condo area. weeks later he adopted her (Ben Ben) and i had to accept that i have 'someone' staying in our condo. Now i think i care about her more than my husband does. she just gave birth 2 days ago (1.3.09) and im also pregnant at the same time (edd early May 09)!!

you sound like a very caring person and i think that i might be able to understand how you feel considering my dog was only six months old when he died (leukimia also) and had always felt more comfortable with me. we didn't even know he was sick till after the autopsy. he died in my arms on the way to our veterinarian. bless your baby nena
