I love you. I love him. Praying for all of you. ❤️

Do you have any proof that such people exist? Because I don't buy it.

I think once a kitty knows about climbing and jumping, there's no going back. And I'd be scared Mila would open Rhys' eyes to the wonders of the kitchen counter and then my life would get infinitely harder! 🤣

Rhys would leave it undisturbed, too. She probably would have devoured it if it were on the couch or the floor, but she's completely unaware that the kitchen counter even exists! She is not a climbing/jumping kitty!

You are such a good kitty mom and I am so glad you've found room in your heart to give another kitty love and care and a wonderful life!

Oh, no! Mila! That's called music, and your human does it so beautifully! I think you'll learn to love it!

I see no future in which you lose empathy or become a fascist. Simply not possible! But I'm hoping your smell returns soon and that that's the last of your symptoms!

Oh, I'm so sorry! Get lots of rest!!

Sending you so much love today. 💔

It is, yep! Her full name is Rhys Ann!

Hello, Lila! You are so pretty!!

Black, white, and brown calico cat sitting up.

I'm always happy to make a new friend! And you have a kitty, yes? I have a kitty! Her name is Rhys!

You can't risk that. Go see the doctor!

Go! As a fellow musician, I say go sooner rather than later!

Rhys Ann and I will celebrate! We miss Leah! And we love you!

What an awful thing to say to someone! And so untrue! It's obvious that you dearly love the kids you've worked with!

I get so annoyed when people say things like that, too! Of course you can do this and also, yes, it's hard! Hard things are hard! It's okay to admit that!

Tiffany, I don't actually know you, but I see you and I hear you and I'm sorry. I know it's hard to keep going, but I'm glad you are. I don't know how much a stranger's prayers matter, but I'm praying for you. 💙

Rhys says she loves you and she knows this time will be so much better!! She also wishes you many cozy naps!

I'm glad you're still here, my friend. 💙

Oh, Holly. I'm so sorry. My heart hurts for you and your family and for all of us who love your dad.

Wow, that's a big deal! So proud of you! 💙

I'm so sorry. It's not fair. I'm in your corner, and I know others are as well, but it's not the same as having Leah, I know. Sending love.

I've always pictured saying goodbye to a pet on a cold steel table in a clinical exam room. I'm glad Leah's last moments were comfy and warm and snuggly. Thanks for sharing this sweet picture with us.

I can understand why that's scary! But I don't think you will. I think your love for Leah and her love for you changed you forever. The good things you gained from her influence will still be with you, just as she is still with you. 💙

Agreed!

That is a lovely spot, and the picture of your hand and her paw is precious! I'm certain she knows you won't forget her, just as she could never forget you!

Oh, that sounds like a lovely place for her. 💙

You gave her a wonderful life. She knew she was loved and cared for and safe. And I believe she loved you with her entire heart, too.
