Luna and Ruby, only a week ago <3
I was woken up today with bad news. My cat, Luna--one of my babies--was hit on the road early this morning. She was an outside cat because of territorial issues in the house. She'd taken the transition from house cat to garage cat well. My parents picked her up off the side of the road and we buried her, but I never got to say goodbye--it was so sudden.

I've spent the day broken. I've been crying on and off, whenever I look at a place where she used to lay or sleep, or even remembering her in the tree. My heart is sore. I loved that cat, I'd raised her from a kitten. She was so much like my childhood cat, Missy. She was just a stray we picked up from Ohio about two years ago. She was nothing special, just a plain black cat with a kinked tail...but I loved her.
I think the next few days are going to be rough ones... I know death happens and I know that she'll be waiting for me in kitty-heaven or where ever it is that cats go... I'm still just in shock. I keep waiting to be over it, but the pain lingers like embers to a wildfire. I cry at random times and at other times, I feel okay. Numb. But okay...
The day she arrived, 7 weeks old...
So...I've decided I want to get a memorial for her as a Soquili. She'll be an edited hippogryph-wind cross. I wanted to go with something feline, but since non-equid ears/tails are mutant traits, I've decided on the next best thing: Birds. Luna loved birds. Namely: Bluejays. She had a rival thing going on with a couple of jays in our yard. Yesterday, she finally caught one and was a very happy cat.

Maybe she fulfilled her life-goal of catching that jerk of a bird? I don't know...
I just hope she went fast and knowing that I loved her and I'll miss her.
Donations would be heart
But I'll be getting her either way. She trumps all my other quests right now. Form to come in the next post.
