Still finding it hard without 'HONEY'
Posted on 08/12/08, 10:55 am
I lost my Honey on July 23rd and still am finding it difficult each day without her. I gone through this a lot through the years, having a houseful of rescued cats, but there's always a few in the group that are very special from the day they joined the family. Honey was one of those cats. She had been on the street for about a year, since she was left alone as a kitten. During that time she kept all to herself, never knowing the love from a human or even being with other cats, and never got pregnant. She was caught in the trap I has set for a feral I had been feeding and when it came time to get her out of the trap, she didn't hiss, fight, scratch like most ferals, she merely curled up in a fetal position, totally terrified with what had happened and of me. When I took her to the vets he said he had only ever seen one other case like Honey in that she didn't even know she was a cat. She didn't know how to behave as a cat. She didn't know how to play or anything. It took me 2 years of never touching her with my hands but instead rubbing her body with my face before she started to come around. She soon learned from the other cats in the house that she had nothing to be afraid of any longer. She even got herself a boyfriend (Casper.)
By the time I lost Honey she was 12 years old and every bit a cat as all the others except she was always quiet, so sweet, gentle, loving. Never cause any problems, and never sick a day in her life. She faded about 4 days before she died, in my arms. Honey indeed was very special in a lot of ways and her death is still very hard to cope with. I miss her so much! and so does Casper.
