My nerves are shot!!! Yet, I think I should be happy!!! Just as we were getting ready to take the kitty Cheryl to the vet to get euthanized, this little fighter bounced back and meows all over the place. She talks and talks and is totall... more

Some observations on Canine Cerebral-Rectal Syndrome by Kalikiano Kalei 1/2/2022 3:34:51 PM
Futurist and author Alvin Toffler (think 'FUTURE SHOCK' and 'THE THIRD WAVE' among other books he has penned) once famously said, "Parenthood remains the greatest single preserve of the amateur." I'll go Al one better and declare that there are actua... more

Memories of Mojo by Lucille Bellucci 12/13/2021 8:12:32 AM
That little scamp still makes me laugh. One day I saw my sweater disappearing around the doorway. It had a kitty tail next to it. I later found the sweater under the dining table. He was a great shortstop, catching his toys that I would toss to him. ... more

Tommy Bellucci by Lucille Bellucci 9/2/2021 8:40:20 AM
His ashes arrived last week in a handsome box and his paw print on a wooden disk. The box had a plaque that read: Tommy Bellucci. And rightfully so.
I keep box and plaque by my pillow, where he used to lie and every so often I stroke the paw prin... more

the 10:30 meow by Lucille Bellucci 8/24/2021 7:59:05 AM
Whenever Parker arrived at my apartment at 10:30 every morning, Tommy would set up meowing and meowing for his treats. That cat told time by Parker and he knew his supper time. But what cat didn't?
I miss him so much. I knew he loved me back... more

No more cats by Lucille Bellucci 8/18/2021 8:31:11 AM
It will be hard to be without a cat to cuddle but my own limited life expectancy precludes going to the SPCA to adopt. I hope Tommy and all my other kitties will be waiting for me.
And Renato.... more

Heartbreak by Lucille Bellucci 8/9/2021 9:29:11 AM
Tommy died last night, under my bed. I didn't sleep all night. Earlier, he had come up on the couch to knead my chest, very weakly, then he went away, emitted a cry, and threw up. He did it a second time. I stroked and stroked him and he turned up hi... more

over to Parker by Lucille Bellucci 7/24/2021 8:20:30 AM
Parker will take Tommy after I pass. I have printed out Tommy's med and feeding schedule for him. The little boy is eating heroically with his appetite stimulant though none of it sticks to his ribs.
When Parker comes down to my apartment at... more

Kind vet by Lucille Bellucci 7/14/2021 8:40:51 AM
The vet has been supplying me with Tommy's appetite stimulant but lately has not charged me for it. He must be feeling sorry for me and Tommy. I have emailed him about this, offering to give my credit card number over the phone, but he has not replie... more

Tommy endures by Lucille Bellucci 6/11/2021 8:29:23 AM
He shares my breakfast cereal, that is, he laps up the milk on one side while I scoop the cereal on my side. He bites off a chunk of my cookie and comes back for more.
When I laid out my primary ballot in front of him and invited him to vo... more

Pumpkin for Tommy by Lucille Bellucci 6/4/2021 8:34:22 AM
He doesn't poop every day now and I have taken to adding pureed pumpkin to his chow. My cat before him, Loaner, got terribly constipated and the vet told me to use pumpkin. That didn't work and I started to give her compounded meds, which didn't work... more

Purrs by Lucille Bellucci 5/27/2021 9:14:49 AM
He leans up against me and kneads my chest, purring like crazy and raising snags all over my sweater. Then he cuddles half on my side and half on my lap. My arm encloses him and I massage his neck or body. We sit peacefully like that for some time, u... more

Tommy's new habits by Lucille Bellucci 5/18/2021 8:53:36 AM
Now he stands on my lap and kneads my chest, raising snags all over, but I don't mind. It is worth it. Then he hunkers down and purrs as I massage his neck or back. He can stay like that for as long as I myself stay put. If I need anything I ask my f... more

Tommy and Lactaid by Lucille Bellucci 5/11/2021 8:47:12 AM
I switched my cereal milk to Lactaid so that when Tommy shares my breakfast he doesn't get an upset stomach. He is so bony now but is active in many new ways. Cuddles on my lap, which he never did before. Leans up against me and kneads my chest. All ... more

Meowing up the hall by Lucille Bellucci 5/5/2021 9:08:14 AM
When Parker leaves at 8 pm Tommy leaves with him. At the top of the hall, 100 feet up, Tommy explores the laundry room and the trash bin. It would take only a left turn for him to arrive at the elevators. The other night he started meowing and meowin... more

Tommy sharing my breakfast by Lucille Bellucci 4/27/2021 9:05:39 AM
His spine feels like a hill of bone, his sides caved in, and still he perseveres. One morning he jumped up on the table, sniffed the cookie I was eating, and bit off a chunk and ate it. And now, he shares my breakfast cereal, lapping up the lactose-f... more

Tommy's desk job by Lucille Bellucci 4/3/2021 8:40:08 AM
Every morning he would follow me to the computer, jump up, and proceed to play with his cup of water. It was drag, drag, drag, with me steadying it to keep it from spilling all over my keyboard and him pushing my hand away.
A couple of tim... more

Tommy hangs on by Lucille Bellucci 3/27/2021 9:13:00 AM
.....and I am hanging on to him. I can see his bones. Yesterday I bought a two-week supply of his cat food. If wishes were fact....... more

And still he prevails by Lucille Bellucci 3/14/2021 8:13:11 AM
Tommy gets skinnier by the day, yet he eats heroic meals. His behavior does not change. He stayed a long time by my computer this morning, drinking from his cup of water or dragging it, lying belly up inviting a scratch.
This boy has my h... more
