We had "the talk" with the kids today. About Crawford most likely having died. About how much we loved him, how good a kitty he was, what a long life he had. We pull into the driveway, the tears gone, and
GUESS WHO IS SITTING AT THE DOOR, MEOWING HIS HEAD OFF???
Little bastard. Thin as a rail, hungrier than all get-out, but alive and indecisive as to purr or meow or eat.
The Teflon Kitty strikes again. Death WILL NOT STICK. Okay, my turn for cuddles is coming up. Thanks to everyone that sent me well wishes - I guess it worked.
*BEAMS*

Whee!!! Talk to you soon? 'K? Call? IM? Tell me whatcha want. Watcha really, really want.
yay! Crawford! Caza will be ecstatic. P.S. - Guess what I have in my house? A really live bay-bee. Complete with awesome baby smelling head. Caza's sister is here with her grandbaby. Yes. My sister-in-law who is *4 years older than me* is here with her grandbaby. I upped my usage of Mary Kay Miracle Eye Cream today. Just sayin'.

Julia, if Elvyra reappears it's going to be the Killkenny cats here, I'm afraid

Date: 2006-01-21 01:11 pm (UTC)Argh! If he wasn't the most loveable thing, chatty and affectionate and with enough quirks to keep you laughing (no corn cob is safe from his need to consume), we wouldn't get so emotional over this bag of bones.

*hug*squish*glomp*
When i was yournger mom insisted that all our cats be outdoor cats. A stray had been dumped and we kept her. Tiny little thing. We name her Gram. Shortly after she moved in the neighborhood stray cat got Gram knocked up.
He was a black & white long-haired tom cat that we named Sundae (vanilla & chocolate...Yeah we were uber creative genius kids!)
While Sundae didn't have a home he tended to stick around our place mostly (very few neighbors, no neighbors with dogs running free, always had dishes of catfood outside, and of course, a female cat in heat)
The litter of kittens that Gram had... We kept one and named her Lillie. Well, Lillie didn't get fixed soon enough and also found herself in a family way. The father? Why, our friendly neighborhood stray, Sundae, of course. So yes, those kittens would have done a southerner proud, what with their father also being their grandfather.
Anyway, back to the subject of zombie cats. One winter as the snow started melting I found a frozen stiff black & white cat on one of the snowbanks in the driveway. We decided it was our duty to take care of disposing of the body.
Not even a week after burying Sundae down in our little pet cemetary someone looked out the window and there was Sundae, alive and well! Near as we can figure, the cat we buried was the result one of Sundaes many many many attempts at ensuring that his gene pool be spread far & wide.
I know, long story. The teflon cat made me think of Sundae.
Again, I'm glad he came home! *hug*
