Just One More Thing

When the real world seems too difficult to bear, I often turn to Art,

hence this kaleidoscopic edition.

My cat child passed away on Friday July 11, 2025.

Like my Grandma, Sunny aka "Catula" was one of the

greatest loves of my life.

They both remain in my heart as such,

and I'd always felt fortunate that all three of us realized this while all still alive,

thereby allowing us to celebrate it.

For several years,

a key part of my morning routine has included

"Play with Sunny if he wants to."

We made sure to keep space for those moments that

often get lost within the very real demands of the day.

It was torturous living through the weekend without either

of those very special beings in the house.

Several *wonderful* friends chipped in,

allowing me to acquire Catula's feline successor,

Legend (aka Catula: Next Gen).

He came home on Monday.

Right now, it is Tuesday PM

and I have done nothing productive because I can't stop looking at him.

Like Sunny, he understands that his job is to be with me every single moment of the day &

I am tremendously grateful for a creature with such a natural disposition.

Below is one of the last photos of my splendid feline Sunny,

along with a pic of Legend,

the new baby who somehow came equipped

with a remarkably similar set of skills.
