Cats and mice
Thank you to everyone for your kind comments about Ramona. Mr. Cedar and I are feeling very empty without her. I couldn't respond, but your thoughts mean a lot.

Beezus has been crazy lonely without Ramona, following us around the apartment and making sure one of us is there when she eats (but she has been eating, and I cannot tell you how relieved I am about that), so we took her to the pet-sitter's for some company. She'll be there while we're in Florida this week, playing with their three kids, dog, and cat. And when she comes home, we're getting her a kitten. We've already pre-adopted a 10-week old male gray-and-white tabby and named him Henry. At the shelter, Henry jumped out of another person's arms and onto Mr. Cedar's shoulder, where he started purring. It was a sign. We're all still very lost and weepy about Ramona, but we're also glad to be able to give Henry a good home, and to give Beezus a companion. Pictures will come.

Mr. C and I are leaving tomorrow for Florida, where we'll visit a large mouse and alternate visits to Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion. And sometime between now and January 20th I have to read 40 books. *headdesk*

I am happy for the joy that Ramona brought to you, but mourn for her passing (as do our kitties). Henry sounds like a total character - that's awesome. There are always kitties that need good homes to go to.

Have fun in orange country. Or is it the sunshine state? Or maybe hanging chad country... Oh, I don't know - enjoy the big mouse!

Very sorry to hear about Ramona. The Kittens and I send much love and hugs (and head rubs) to the Cedar family.

I think it's great that you're getting Beezus someone she can boss around. I'm sure Henry will make a great addition to Family Cedar.

I can only imagine the emptiness. *hugs, hugs, and more hugs*

Yay for Henry. Now you just need an Otis and Ellen-in-bunchy-long-underwear. :D

I feel so bad for your kitty. I'm glad that things are calming down a bit for you. Have a great time in Florida. I'm sure you can get some reading done on the plane.

*hugs* I can't imagine what a shock losing Ramona has been. I'm glad Beezus is doing relatively all right, and I love the way Henry picked you two. I hope your travels are safe. *hugsmore*

I feel like the worst friend ever. I didn't even know about Mona. Opal, Helena, and I send our hugs and Opal and Helena send especially warm fuzzys to Beezus.

Awwww, Henry! Indeed, a sign. He sounds cuterthancute.

Have a good trip, and don't sweat the 40 books. You can eat those books for breakfast, we know you can!

*hugs hugs hugs*
