Nostalgia for my Copito

Some time ago our beloved Copito died. He was suffering from a urinary blockage and the vet although she did a lot could not get the stone out and our beloved 13-year-old kitty was gone.

I can finally write something about him but it still hurts my heart to do so. It seems like only yesterday he was chasing me when I was in my garden. I still have him on the cover photo on my phone and I don't think I'll ever take it off there.

He was my biggest pet peeve, crazy, a womanizer, very affectionate, friendly, and very feisty with cats even bigger in size than him. He was never afraid.

Today I have my Meme left, he is a tabby cat who assimilated many of Copito's habits. When he does them my son and I remember our beloved cat.

He is used to being indoors, he only goes out during the day for a while somewhere and then he appears with his tail held high and meowing. That is his habit. He likes to go out in the garden and keep me company. Every gesture is the same as Copito's, he learned it from him. But unlike Copito, Meme is not afraid of water.

Sometimes when it rains we have to make sure he doesn't go out of the house because he comes out and gets all wet. For this same reason he got sick, and he stopped eating little by little. We took him to the vet and he told us that our cat had a viral infection.

She gave him several medicines because he had a very high fever and parasites too. She gave him 5 injected medicines, so I had to inject him twice a day for a week.

He is completely healed and is now back to his normal routine. He wants to go out in the rain but my son won't let him.

I think we are now living in fear of what might happen to our Meme because of the trauma of what happened with Copito. I still have a guilty conscience, I don't know how I didn't realize that my Copito was very sick. He is buried in our garden. My son from time to time tells me he is going to visit him to talk to him.

I feel him pass between my legs, when I sit down to write on my laptop or when I cook, I think I feel him pass through my legs very softly as only he used to do. It must be my imagination but that's what I perceive.

I'm sorry to hear about Copito! Their absence remains large for a long time. I am glad to hear that Meme is well again

Greetings friend, you were one of those who knew my life with Copito. You made so many recommendations. I thank you for that. I think we will never forget Copito, my son and I have a lot of pain for the sudden absence of my crazy cat.
I hope yours are well, I remember Peanut very much.

Peanut is well although unfortunately he has similar bladder problems to Copito and nearly had a urinary obstruction. I managed to prevent it with a special diet for dissolving the crystals and now I have to watch him very carefully and keep him calm

I'm glad she's doing better now Peanut, what saddens me is that tendency to form bladder stones like Copito had. You are a better kitty mom.

I'm not sure that I am better. Unfortunately my first cat also had bladder stones, so I am experienced

@gertu I'm sorry to hear about your cat passing. I lost my baby a few years ago. He just missed out on his 16th birthday and I had him from 13 weeks old. I think your cat is showing you that they are still there in spirit. I can't tell you how many times I have had a cat hair left for me or feel him walk across my bed. Your cat is with you and always will be. I hope this helps 🙏❤️

Thank you very much for your words. I think it is true that he still visits me, he always came back to me after running around the street after the cats. Whenever he was hurt he always looked for me. I miss him. Tears still run down my cheeks as I write about him.
I am also sorry you lost your loved one. The pain may subside but the love in the heart remains.
Thank you for reading and leaving your nice comment.
