Not particularly unsettled, but dynamics are changing. Fluff wants to spend more time with Thursday, and Thursday is taking over Tate’s spaces, sleeping with me

My darling Tate, my shadow, died in my arms last month.
As she went to sleep, I told her how much I loved her, how magnificent she was and that I would never forget her, and she looked up at me with trust and love.
I’m lost without her.
My Tate, 31 July 2011 - 20 Jan 2026
Happy gotcha day, Lenny!

Meh, Harriet played a dumb game there
It’s interesting when clever people undermine themselves because they’re so sure of their plan
Love is letting your fading cat sit at the open kitchen door because it’s raining but she likes to be outside - while the fire’s on in the sitting room and energy costs make you wince

Well it was a case of no big change - lost some more weight, but that was it
Back next week
I’m cherishing every moment and it’s a privilege to know it’s the time for that
How has the day treated you?
Nice work!

I even went outside and watched pigeons enjoying their superiority
Looked up to use awe to get small self effect
Check my bad self out
It’s great, isn’t it!

Today was a big nope to work. Yesterday’s all-team meeting was exhausting; all that team-player face and not calling anyone stupid
Today, I just hung out with Tate
I’ve been enjoying this all day

Trapped. Don’t send help, I’m cherishing every moment because I don’t know how long my Tate has left
The tears can wait
I had them, until I got a SILVER pair for secondary school!

09.01.2026 12:54 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Thank you - I am. Just dreading the final goodbye. Went through this with another of my cat family last year and it feels unfair we’re facing this again so soon
08.01.2026 22:33 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0She’s genuinely beautiful. And, if she’d had a more collaborative temperament, I would have got her into cat modelling!

The cat that holds my heart, Tate, is fading and I don’t know how long she has
She’s been my companion for 14 years and I’m struggling to imagine life without her
Interesting that it feels right to say this here and not openly on twitter
