mothers-day-cat

My mom passed away 32 years ago, and yet, even after all that time, Mother’s Day is still a bit bittersweet.

I was about a year old in this photo.

Not a day goes by that I don’t “talk” to her. I share the good times with her, and ask for her help during the tough times. I wish she could have known all the cats that came after Feebee. He was the only one of my cats she met, and oh, did she love him. I wish she was still here to impart her wisdom – something I didn’t appreciate nearly enough when I was younger. But more than anything, I wish I could get just one more hug from her.

Whether you’re the mom of human or feline children, enjoy your day. And if your mom is no longer with you, I hope today is filled with wonderful memories of your time together.

  1. Happy Mother’s Day, Ingrid, and to Allegra, if she is one of the cats who thinks she’s the mom and you’re her kitten. I always read this post as I lost my mom 61 years ago (!) and I still feel the way you do. They live on in our hearts and minds.
