As you all know, this week has not started well, but I have accepted my mother’s passing and moving forward.
I must thank all of you who have left comments, your valuable support is greatly appreciated. For those who didn’t, don’t panic, I understand; at times like this I don’t know what to write either. I know that just by reading the last two posts you were thinking.
Lixo ironing my clean shorts this morning
Lixo has been a great help. He knew something wasn’t right on Sunday night and he slept on the bed all night; he hasn’t done that for months now that he is a big boy. It’s much more fun Tom-catting around the neighbourhood.
He has been helping around the house. Doing those little chores that I hate like the ironing.
I am waiting for the rain to stop so I can go to therapy the supermarket. My new fridge doesn’t have lunch. Apart from condiments and jam there is only half a roll of salami, there are two onions on the vege stand, and not a crumb of bread in the cupboard. I seriously need to buy food.
The rain has stopped.
Went!
Later.
Life is but a Labyrinth 
Hi..

May I know .. Lixo, is your son or daughter… I can’t really know them by names sometimes…
She/he must have be a good kid for being very nice, helping out in the chores…

>katrina, yes, he is a boy. Lixo actually means rubbish in Portuguese, he was dumped as a kitten from a sack like rubbish in the square where I live; so he is Lixo.

I don’t have a cat, but friends who do tell me that they are very sensitive creatures and can sense immediately our grief and pain, and can help through difficult times.

>OAiC, I believe they can, their senses are more highly developed than ours; the sixth sense that we have mainly lost. Anyway, it was comforting to have him there.

The kitties do know. They were very attentive when my father was dying, and afterward. Sadie stayed curled up in the crook of my neck as I lie in bed sobbing. Even when her fur got wet. Good kitty Lixo.

>UB, there are so many stories of the prescience of animals around deaths and loss. I believe in fairies.
