This post is mostly for me. Mostly just to write and cry. Sometimes I use my blog more like a journal to help me feel better. This is one of those posts.
For those of you who know me well, know that I am NOT a animal person. I never have been and probably never will be. I would be ok if Nate and I never had any pets. However, there is one animal that totally stole my heart and I will love forever.
That is Thomas. I got Thomas when I was at college. I surprised myself and everyone around me when I told them I wanted a cat. I didn't know why I wanted one, I just did. So my roommate and I looked in the paper and found an add for free kittens. We went and looked at them and I instantly fell in love with Thomas. He was so cute. He was little little gray ball of fur and he was so sweet.
That was in March of 2000 and I have had him ever since. He became one of my best friends. Seriously. I feel so dumb when I say that because he is just a cat but he really did. He was there so many times when I just needed someone to listen. I remember when I was pregnant with Zoee, he would jump up on my bed and just lay with me. I think it's true when they say your pet can feel when you are sad because he was always there when I was sad. There were lots of times when I would cry and make his fur all wet and he would just lay there at purr. He really was so sweet. Over the years I have really loved that dang cat.
Well, Thomas is gone. He didn't come home last week. That is not like him at all so we really feel like something happened and he isn't going to come home. My parents have looked all over for him and have talked to a lot of the neighbors but no one has seen him. We are not sure what happened. (I am still hoping he comes home and if he does he is going to get a serious talk about leaving for that long!) I really don't think he is going to come home though. I can't believe that I am crying like this over him. I am going to blame it on pregnancy hormones but I think it's really just cause he was has been really important to me.
I love you Thomas.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. We, too, lost a cat once. It's hard. Hopefully he'll still show up.
Ooohhh, that is so sad. How sweet is Thomas all making out with Zoee? Maybe he's just taking a road trip and he followed Zoee home to Vegas; now that would be awesome in so many ways. I'll still hope he comes around, and maybe he'll bring Mister with him.
Oh Stac I'm so sorry to hear that. I lost a cat named Nedra, whom I LOVED too, even though she was the town hooker and got preggo every time she possibly could. It is hard, and sad. Oh Nedra, Nedra the HO. If they do end up in pussycat heaven together she'll make him very happy I'm sure of it!
I was going to leave a very serious comment.. then I read "jerolyn's" comment....
Seriously, I'm really sorry. I believe the worst part is truly never knowing, so I too, hope that he shows up.
P.S. I love his name!
Stace! I'm so sorry! One of my most favorite memories from college was the birthday party you held for Thomas. He had a ton of people show up for his party and he even got presents. I'll have to email you a picture I have from that day.
I feel so sad for you, and totally know what it's like to lose a cat. Mister was my baby, and I cried & cried for a LONG time when he disappeared. Too bad you're not in Huntsville to put up REWARD posters just to make yourself feel better. I did that. And they were lame. And the reward was probably going to be about $13.78, everything I had in my jewelry box. But I will still hold out hope for you that Thomas turns up. I just always told myself that Mister was so pretty, someone probably took him for themselves. Jerks.
Uh, Erin, I am sure if you would've opened your junk drawer you could have upped the reward to 20 bucks or so with the miraculously appearing money from the junk drawer, then maybe someone would have returned Mister.
Aww..how sad!! I can't even imagine losing Tinkerbelle. I love her too much! I hope Thomas comes home!
