I think I want tell you something. This week was very long and exhausting. At work and at home. At work – this isn’t that important, even I spent much time there. There was so much trouble, 3 weeks could be filled with it. My boss asked me today (seriously) – why are you still laughing. My answer: because if I would cry nothing would be changing.


That was it. End of speech!


At home one of my cats is very ill. Franz is the oldest. He is 24 years old and he had a bad injury. One of his cheeks was infected and I went to the vet for the operation. The wound healed very well but he doesn’t eat anything. I went again to the vet and he gave him a chance of 30% that he will make it. I have to feed him every hour at day and at night. So I will do it. . I am NOT sad, of course I am concerned but he  HAS a chance. That makes me glad and I will do anything to keep him alive.


And what if he won’t make it?  I was allowed to live with him for about 10 years and he gave me so much. He’s the boss of my cats and they are respecting him. Since he’s ill they care for him, sitting beside him and they are talking to him (I know this sounds weird) . No fights anymore.


That touches me. He’s sitting now on my lap, looking at me. That makes me smile.


He’s purring, I know that’s his little smile for me.


Life IS beautiful, you only have to open your eyes. Sometimes the way you have to go seems to be very dark but there’s always a little light at the end of the tunnel. My lights are you friends.


I know I can come here to listen AND to talk. For this I am very grateful.


So you see – I only can repeat it:  life is beautiful. Sitting here with Franz on my lap, stars above me, it’s  Froday , strolling around in Middle Earth feels good. I think I’m doing well and I hope you’re doing well too.


Take care and have a nice weekend, all of you – you can be sure I will make the best of it!


 


Love and kisses and big hobbity hugs

I love your optimism and your love of life - you have a beautiful spirit, very similar to a certain young man we all know. I am thinking about you and your dear Franz - he is such a lucky kitty to have you to care for him. I hope all will be well :)

Dearest Julchen. My heart is with you and Franz. Our pets give us so much love, and we are so blessed to have as much time as we do with them. No it's not at all weird that the other cats understand what is happening. Their hearts are as giving and generous as yours.

Dear Belle. Thank you for your touching words, I'm very moved. It's so true, pets can give so very much and now I can give something back. He's sitting there, he ate a litle and he's purring. The most wonderful sound I ever heard I can tell you.
*smiles and hugs you*

Och das arme alte Franzl! Nun muss er auf seine alten Tage nochmal sowas durchmachen. Ich hoffe er wird wieder und falls doch nicht, dann hat er es wenigstens gut im Katzenhimmel und genießt die Zeit mit Dir jetzt und mit seiner Clique.
Lisa muss sich auch nochmal so richtig ärgern, jetzt wo sie alt ist. Sie hat schreckliche Angst vor Moritz!

Date: 2006-07-15 07:06 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Das stimmt, aber ich hoffe sehr er schafft es und werde mein Möglichstes tun. Er schnurr jedenfalls wie ein Rasenmäher und das ist ja nicht mal so ein schlechtes Zeichen.
Jaja, die Oldies und die jungen Racker. Ich hoffe, deine Lisa kann sich durchsetzen.
*knuddelzzzz*

Date: 2006-07-16 12:25 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] aredhelebenesse.livejournal.com
Oh, ich hoffe er schnurrt nicht nur aus Verzweiflung! Du weißt doch, die Kleinen tun das auch wenn sie sich selber heilen wollen.
Aber er wird wieder! Ich glaube das einfach ganz fest, dann klappt es auch.
*zurückknuddel*

I'm sending good thoughts and hugs to you and Franz. You have such a wonderful, positive outlook, Julchen. That will surely help Franz to be well. *hugs*

Thank you dearest for your very lovely words, we didn't sleep that much this night but now he's sleeping like a baby.
*hugs you back*

No cat could have a more lovely human -- in mind and spirit -- and with a warm lap and spoons full of food, too. If life is beautiful for Franz, you have made it so, with your own beauty. You certainly have received beauty from him.

Good luck on your cat care. It can be very draining, but you seem up for anything. I loved your note about how your cats came together to support Franz. How encouraging and endearing you must find that, as well as Franz.

Date: 2006-07-15 07:13 am (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Thank you love for your wonderful words , I am deeply touched of all the kindness. I'm still smiling and that's the beauty of life for me. Friends are around, it couldn't be better. And yes, he loves his companions. They were talking to him whenever he was awake. Now he's sleeping and I'll let him sleep as long as he wants to. I'll wake him in 3 hours for the next feeding.
*hugs you tight*

Even if you don't win this one, Julchen, you have given your beloved cat a great gift. If you buy some more time with your devoted, loving care, Franz will love you all the more. Maybe your other cats are so loving and well-behaved because of the example you set them? *grin*

"Maybe your other cats are so loving and well-behaved..."

well-behaved? Only this time sweetie, you should see them in action ... *giggles*

I am keeping you and Franz in my prayers, he sounds like a lovely boy and he is lucky to have you looking after him. Please give him a gentle rub from me. I hope his life is peaceful and happy and full of love, and I hope yours is too *hugs you tight*

You're so right. Having a sense of humor and a positive attitude is so very important.

I will say my prayers for Franz. He is lucky to have such a kind and loving mother.

(((Hugs)))

Date: 2006-07-15 11:44 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
Thank you sweetie, that's true. He feels how important it is and I can tell you he ate little but he ate. *hugs you very tight*
See you later!

Date: 2006-07-15 03:50 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] bagma.livejournal.com
I love your optimism! I hope poor Franz will make it: he must be a robust cat; I didn't know cats could reach 24 years! O_o

I thought my cat was old, but apparently she's a 13 years old youth...

*hugs to you and Franz*

Date: 2006-07-15 11:46 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] julchen11.livejournal.com
this is your cat? She's lovely, she looks like my Fernando.
She's 13? She's a teenie, LOL.
*Franz and Julchen snuggle closer*

Date: 2006-07-16 03:46 pm (UTC)From: [identity profile] bagma.livejournal.com
Yes, she's my Venus; she's lovely, but she has a strong character: she weighs 3 kilos, but I always the feeling she rules the house!:)
BTW, I hope Franz is feeling better.
