They say the most stressful events in one's life are: death of a loved one, moving, and divorce/marriage. For me, last year's crisis was losing my thirteen year old cat, Summer (and I didn't actually "lose" her, like a set of car keys at Wal-Mart that you spend all day retracing your steps to find. She went out one sunny afternoon, never to return).

I could post hundreds of photos of her (check), or write about the smell of her fur when she slept on my pillow, or how non-cat people loved her, because she was that wonderful. A cat of a lifetime. Maybe I don't have closure because I don't know what happened to her...maybe it's better that way.

Last year, I initiated "Pet Day" on Spaces (April 21st), simply so I could brag about her:

SUMMER: Twelve years ago, we were living in Ft. Campbell, Kentucky when a woman pulling a red ryder wagon with 6 beautiful kittens in it walked through our yard. I had only ever had male cats, but my son, being two and a temper-tantrum thrower, convinced me to take this long haired calico. Another neighbor (bitch!) would call animal patrol every time Summer wandered in her yard...two "arrests" later, we started hooking her up to a long leash in the front yard.

Summer has moved across country multiple times, even flown to Germany (all 14 lbs of her packed in a little cat carrier, poor thing). She comes running when you call (although I think she has some arthritis setting in from when my ex- ran her over) and "sits" for cat treats. She also single-handedly decimated the mole population in Northern Michigan.

	KuhnHeidi发表: What a beautiful and unique kitty. Losing them, no matter how, is always difficult. I don't want to give you any false hope, but having cats for as long as I've had them, 35 years, I have learned that the strangest things can happen. If you don't see Summer again in this life - you WILL see her again....and it will be as if no time at all has passed. -Heidi 4 月 24 日
	ksgrrl发表: OOOooo I'll have to post a pet picture (if you decide to extend this to Pet Week instead of Pet Day. I seem to have missed Pet Day). She's very pretty. 4 月 22 日
	Sarah发表: I bet she's celebrating "Brag About Your Owners Day." I would if I were your pet. Maybe she went off in search of bigger moles- a groundhog even, and just lost her way. Great picture, by the way. 4 月 21 日
	KentStephen发表: I don't have a pet to present for pet day - I know, I'm a shit. Anyway, glad you have a few to pass along to us that don't have any. I really want another dog - something with a shepard mix would be nice. :) PS - Hope you've been doing well. :) 4 月 21 日
	Renee Koehler发表: Trust me I know how you feel. We had a cat that looked very similar to your cat Summer. I gave the kitten to my Mother when I was fifteen years old and she died in my Mother's arms 22 years later. Her name was Fluffy..she was part of the family for a long time. When she was finally put to sleep she had no teeth and seizures daily....she just wouldn't leave my mom so finally my mom had to take her to the vet and have her put out of her misery....it was sad day...I can tell you that. I have a picture of me and her in my photo album called"my kitties" on my site....in the picture she is under a year and I am probably 15 or 16. Check it out if you want! take care renee 4 月 21 日
	bren发表: I get so attached to pets too. It's so damn hard to let go when they are gone. She is beautiful -- and always so 'poised' for the camera :) 4 月 20 日
	Nikki发表: What a gorgeous cat! So sorry about Summer. My family cat back home was like that too. I was away in school but my mom said that Jr just went out and never came home. I still....even to this day, whenever I drive around the neighbourhood, I keep hoping to see him. :( But now I have a new cat and he's spoilt rotten by me. :) Take it easy! 4 月 20 日
	P发表: pretty kitty. i'm sad that summer is not with you anymore. but i bet she's starring in made-for-tv movies now and enjoying a luxurious life. i love my pets. p 4 月 20 日
	Courtney-O发表: Once Kay runs over the ex, I'll kick him in the balls. That will make both you and I feel better. I'm sorry about Summer. She's such a pretty kitty. 4 月 20 日
	Litespreader发表: she's so beautiful. thank you for sharing this. i'm sorry she's still gone, but i believe she loves you, and that won't change no matter where she is. and it's comforting to me, to know that you're just a softy, after all.. t 4 月 20 日
	NatalieQ发表: Isn't it funny how some animals just... smell good? And some definitely... don't! My favorite dog of all time ALWAYS smelled so good. Fresh and clean no matter what she was up to... I remember this post about Summer. It has always stayed with me. Like Kay, I believe she's happy, runnin' around playin' and catchin' moles. What a pretty kitty. s Natalie 4 月 20 日
	EdgyKay 发表: Wherever she is, she's still plump and beautiful, still runs for moles and sits for kitty treats. And she still smells good, and probably just had to go to a different part of the world to let the foreign non-cat people learn. I'm sorry that Summer's gone, but maybe you could consider it your little part in educating the rest of us ninnies who aren't "cat people." If I see her wander my way, I'll lure her into my tiny home, ply her with kitty treats (do breakfast bars and green bean casserole qualify?), send her hunting for moles (do icky neighbors qualify?), and further entertain her until you arrive. Does she play tennis or swim? ; ) Take care, friend. oh, and p.s.: I'll also run over your ex for you. Sort of even out the score a tad. 4 月 20 日
