My late husband's kitty finally stopped [View all]

When my husband died in May, one of his two cats that he adopted was really unhinged.

Every night at the same time he'd start up with the loud meowing and crying, scratching on the walls and howling.

I thought it would never end.

About 2 weeks ago I heard him come into the bedroom at his normal time to start up the crying and he got on the foot of the bed and was laying there. He began to cry and it sounded like a baby crying.

He really let it all out that night.

He is now my best friend and after seven long months of this behavior, it has finally stopped.

I am so glad not only for me, but for him.

Poor old fellow!

Whoever said that animals don't feel is an idiot IMO.

I think this clinches it don't you?

Poor Mr. Andy. You are loved.

Everything is sure not all better now for me. I still feel like shit and I don't expect that feeling to go away anytime soon.

They just got through trying yet another fancy anti-depressant on me with the SSRI crap in it which I keep telling them I am allergic to. After 4 days of hell with a migraine headache, sweating, etc. I quit taking the crap.

Happy New Year 2023 to everyone.

It has got to be better than this past year has been for me!
