someone I've known since he was a little furry black kitten. He has seen me through some very bad times and he's been part of some very good times.
I've told this story before, but it seems appropriate to repeat it as a sort of requium. One night, while in a state of "oneness with Hendrix" my kitty said to me, "I love you." And I said to him, "Oh, I love you too, B. Your my favorite kitty." And he shook his head and said, "No. I don't love like a cat loves his human. I'm IN love with you."
(pause for effect)
So, I didn't know what to think! My cat had just announced that he was in love with me! I thought it best to nip it in the bud, so to speak. I said "B, I just don't do inter-species dating. I love you as my cat; not as my boyfriend."
He said, "I know. I just wanted you to know."

Well, my aunt wouldn't let me bring him to SoCal and he's not getting along well at Ann's house. He keeps finding his way into the ceiling and in the middle of the night, he wails this mournful cry and nobody can get any sleep. He can't stand closed doors, he keeps opening them like he's looking for me.
B is not a happy little any kitty anymore. When he's outside, he wants in. When he's inside, he wants out. He's not adjusting.
Ann said in all her years with cats (she'd had up to 14 at a time, now she's down to one. And mine.) she had never seen a cat act like this. She said he was absolutely depressed. Then she said "What'd you do, fuck that cat???"
I was lured down here by my aunt who originally told me I could bring my cat with me. Then she changed her mind and it almost killed me to have to leave him behind with Ann. Gahh! He only needed to behave for the winter, then I'd be back up there with him.
I'll be driving up to Sonoma County tomorrow. Don't know what I'll do without my best friend.
I just don't know what I'm going to do.
