To Lexi, With Love…
Dear sweet Lexi, where do I start?. When I saw you for the first time only minutes old and laying there in a child’s shoe box stacked on top of your littermates; I couldn’t have known how profoundly you would change my life. You spoke for all of you. Mewing so loudly that you got the attention of everybody at the adoption event. I didn’t wait to hear your story or how you came to be there. I took you into the break room at the Petsmart and washed you off, wrapped you in a towel and got you a bottle. It was then that I took the time to hear your story. I knew you would be special. You were a fighter and wanted to live and be loved.
I remember as I sat feeding you the president of the rescue I volunteered with told me they didn’t want to take in your litter because y’all were too “black” and would be hard to adopt. And that it would be better for everybody if you were put to sleep now. I remember the rage I felt hearing that, and refusing saying that someone will want y’all. I remember going to the vet later that day to have you checked out and being told none of you would make it. But I just knew you would. You had spunk, and fight, and the biggest purr I had ever heard on such a young kitten. I also remember how you wanted to snuggle up in my arms every chance you got. I would try to give you a bottle and you just wanted to be next to me.
As y’all grew and it came time for you to find a forever home, I remember being a little more protective of you than I had been with other kittens. I remember the first adoption event you were a part of and how when we came home you wouldn’t leave my side. And then it happened…someone wanted you. An application had been put in to adopt you. It was then that I knew how much I truly loved you and could never let you go. I made apologies an changed your name and resigned myself to the fact that we were a 3 cat home now. It was like you relaxed when I told you that you were my baby, my daughter now and I would never leave you and you would always live with me no matter what.
You were a quick study when it came to learning how to help me and your brothers. You worked so hard it was as if you were trying to prove you belonged with me and that I had made the right choice. But Lexi, my heart, my love, you never had to prove anything to me; I made the only choice my heart would allow. Each time we moved you were always the steady one. The one who seemed to let your brothers know that we were always going to be together even though your worlds had been turned upside down. And as always you preferred being held over anything else. You scarfed your meals so you could get to my lap first. And no matter how hard I tried to get you to slow down you just didn’t listen. You were so tiny and your brothers so big that you didn’t want to have to compete with them. I so enjoyed lap time with the three of you.
As the years passed you grew and things changed. First Devon left us and then Lucky. You and I grieved together and found comfort in each other. And you tolerated the addition of a new brother and eventually a new sister. Out of your toleration grew a deep love for them. You were so patient and loving with them and me. You worked so hard to help me train each of them. Even though you were getting older and slower you worked just as hard as when you were a youngster.
We’re both getting older now my sweet, and the gray hairs are creeping up and sprouting on both of us. But every time I look at you I still see that little kitten that fought so hard to live. I never had much in the way of money so you didn’t have every new toy that came out or pawsum cat furniture to play on. But Lexi my green eyed angel girl, you never lacked for my love.
There is no one in this world who could love you more than me. Sometimes as I watch you sleep, and watch your chest rise and fall with each breath I’m in total awe. How could so much love be wrapped up in such a small package? We often communicate without saying anything. I look at you from across the room and you tilt your head and give me a slow blink and turn on your rumbling purr that can be heard throughout the house. And then you walk over to me and jump up in my lap and put out your paw to pull my hand over to you. I whisper, I love you angel, and you just purr louder. Sometimes I ask you if you love me too, and you always look over at me and meow. There are those who would say you have no idea what I said or what you are responding, but you and I know different don’t we.
If you can’t see the video, click here to watch it on youtube.
We share a bond that can never be broken. I was so blest to have been the first voice you heard and the first thing you saw and too be chosen by you. I am still so blest that you continue to share your love with me. Everyday with you is like a little piece of heaven here on earth. I try daily to let you know how much you mean to me and how much I love you. And with each passing day my love for you only grows stronger. So Lexi, my darling angel girl, I will continue to remind you that I love you and that we will always be together. Thank you for choosing me and thank you for loving me. I am yours and you are mine till the end of time and beyond.
Love Forever,
Mommy

Meowllo evewypawdy, meez back! Hope yous had a gweat kupple of days. Guess yous all wunnewin’ how fings went here. Well of course Tuesday mommy spent mostly cleanin’ and twyin’ to get weady fur da big inspection, cuz not only had da manager mawked evewy box hers kuld, she also passed out a notice on Tuesday dat da snoopervisow wuz gunna be here fur da inspections. Mommy got almost evewyfin’ put away and da last foo fings fwown into da closet. MOL We even called it an early night and went to bed wound 3 a.m.. We got up bwight and early so mommy kuld get us fed and giv Lexi hers butter spoon (medicine) afur da commotion stawted. She finally opened da door and there they wuz, only a foo pawtments down, da manager, da idiot (maintenance man) and da exterminator. Now da extermiinator wuz talkin’ on hims fone and twyin’ to spway da bug stuffs wiff da udder hand. OMC Can’t anypawdy be purrfessional and do their job wiffout a fone hangin’ fwum their ear?
Well they finally came to ow door and da manger sed dat idiot wuz gunna check da smoke alawm and pull da nosy chains (emergency), all da while mommy’s standin’ there wiff da door wide open. Da exterminator finally pushed past da manager and idiot cuz they wusn’t comin’ in. He stawted spwayin’ and mommy stawtted coughfin’. Finally idiot came in and da manager stepped just inside da door. Mommy sed nuffin’. Hers not gunna get a write up fur wefusin’ them entwy or bein’ wude. MOL Nosy chains pulled and floor saturwated wiff poison, and me duz mean saturwated; da manager handed mommy a paper and they all left, still no snopervisor in sight. Mommy put on hers glasses and wead da paper, and it sed…did not enter and check. So mommy purromptly wrote, was not refused entry, but stayed at door by choice. And she also wrote what meez alweady told ya’. Well now dat dat’s over wiff mommy had to get weady fur da case manager and nurse to come.
But long afur dat kuld happen mr. W (Buddy’s daddy) came wheelin’ up da walk. Hims stawted yellin’ at mommy and bangin’ on da door. When she opened it, he wuz wavin’ a piece of paper wound and tellin’ mommy she had a notice too. Mommy stawted to look at da notice and mr. W stawted tellin’ her what it sed. Now mind ya’ we liv in a complex fur da elderly and disabled. And as you know, older peeps like to sit wound on their porches and gossip visit. And they like to feed da birds and hummers, and plant little gawdens. These things hav always been allowed since afur weez moved here. As a matter of fact when mommy signed hers furst lease here she asked ifin hummer feeders and the like were allowed cuz there’s a clause in da lease dat sez nuffin’ can be placed on da outside of yous pawtment.
She wuz told then dat da clause didn’t apply to these purropurrties. See da management company has lots of pawtments fur da elderly and disabled and lots of wegular pawtments too. But here we awe getting’ a notice dat sez nuffin’ purrsunal can be outside or we will be in violation of ow lease and be evicted. Well da whole complex is in a state just short of riotin’. And mr. W sed dat da snoopervisor wuz at da office goin’ fwu paperwork and dat da manager had been at da office since 7 a.m. wringin’ hers hands. MOL Mr. W took off to gwipe and rally da west of da tenants and mommy twied to get weady fur da case manager visit.
Da case manager showed up 20 minutes early, mommy wuz not happy ‘bout dat. She sat here yawnin’ fur da whole visit. Da nurse showed up on time, and wanted to visit. They wuz here fur 3 and a halff hours. 3 hours longer than wuz needed. So dat’s how ow day went.
Now fur sum good news. Member me tellin’ y’all ‘bout Sadie Hawkins? Ifin yous missed dat posty you can wead it here. Well da Sadie Hawkins Valentine’s dance at da Tabby Cat Club dat sis Lexi be hostin’ is wight wound da corner. We hav ow dates and sure hope da west of da tabbies hav there’s and awe weady to pawty.
