Requiem for my Sparkly Kitty
15 years ago
Heya!
Please let me know via note if you wanna chat in Skype, I don't normally keep it open.
Hey, all. You might be wondering what's up with me not uploading anything lately... Well, I've been kinda sad.
First, I'm not doing too well in college these days. I've been lazy, irresponsible and immature, which is causing me to fail a number of classes. I am not proud of myself, and I must strive to change this about me.
Second, my grandma has been a little sickly lately. Between physical pains and old age depression, she has been one of my motives for sadness. She says she's okay, but I still worry so.
And lastly, the major reason of my distraught, is that my cat, Sparkle, has been missing for three days now,
Sure, sure. Cats leave home and come back whenever and however they want, but three days is an awful lot of time to be gone, especially for her. The most she has ever been away from home is 6 hours to a day. So you can see how worried I am.
What's killing me is the uncertainty. Is she okay? Is she hurt or sick? Does one of my neighbors have her in their house? Does she even WANT to come back to me?
Is she dead?
I love my kitty, and I want her to come back now...

She's been gone for four days now... I have no hope left.
Cats are my most favorite animals. Good to meet another cat's lover /=)

Hope, that your grandma will be ok /=)
I know what you mean about your Grandmother. It's hard not to worry, you're just getting to that stage of your life where you realize that things can and do change over time. The good news is, that feeling usually fades into a sort of acceptance after a while. The bad news is, it's usually followed by the "I'm nearly 30... How did this happen?" phase. It's not a bad thing, it's just sort of a "I was 15 last week..." feeling.
As for college, the first two or three years are the worst. You want it to be "super-cool-adult-time" but you also want it to be... I don't know... Goofy time? All you can do is resolve yourself to the idea of being there. My best advice is do what the professor says when they say it. I know that sounds dumb, but it got me through college algebra.
Agh, I just wish I could have some closure...!
Maybe that could have helped if I had looked into it the next day she went missing.
I left for my grandmother's on Saturday morning. I came back on Sunday afternoon. My stepmother said she say her on saturday evening, but didn't see her anymore... I realized she wasn't coming back yesterday. It's too late, there's nothing I can do now...
If she was around as late as Saturday she may not have gone far. Some cats are roamers, they go out and play the wild rover as the songs say. They're sort of compelled to go wander around, it's almost like changes in weather or something flip this switch in their brains. "Well, it's October, time to go see what's over that way..." They're strange animals. I wondered if she'd do this when you mentioned she disappeared a few months back.
My mother had one years ago that took off like this. A few weeks later she found him sitting in front of the door with an annoyed look. I sometimes think some of them are predisposed to a deficiency in diet. They go so long and then they just have to wander off to find a certain plant or eat a certain meat.
Thanks for thinking of me. Don't worry, I'll find a way. I always do.
