This Rainbow Bridge Page is dedicated to
Tazmania
Jasmine
My
Friend
&
Wizard
I lost Tazmania
a few months ago and still have not recovered from the loss... probably seems
silly to a lot of people...after all she was just a cat...get another one...I
have heard these things often since her passing...I guess if these people lost a
friend they would just go out and get another one...To me...Taz was my
friend...I have very few and the ones that I have are precious to me...I suffer
from severe depression and have most of my adult life...Tazmania was there for
me for five years...and I do mean there for me...when I was feeling well...she
was very aloof and standoffish...as is usual with cats...but when I was having a
bad time...she was there with me...on my lap ...in my face...where ever she
needed to be to get me through it...her coat soaked up a great many tears...I
was alone with her for four years...we had many conversations...and I did not do
all the talking...she would sleep on my hip every night...greet me with a mew
every time I walked into a room...and sometimes when we were not in the same
room she would mew...as if she was calling me to make sure I would answer
her...and I always did...thanks to her...she kept me alive when I did not want
to be...when I would go in the shower she would wait for me to come out...one
particular time...I did not come out...I was crying my heart out on the floor of
the shower...she made such a fuss at the doors that I had to open them to make
sure she was okay and she jumped right in...what a time I had protecting her
from the water...she did not like water...but she gave me something else to
think about...sometimes that is all it takes...a distraction and then you are
here for another day...I loved her as much as I could love a human being...and I
have grieved for her as much...any one who has not had such a relationship...I
hope that you do at least once in your life and hopefully many times...and for
those of you who have had such a wonderful friend....and have lost that
friend...I am sorry from the bottom of my heart...This has been difficult
because I am not one to put myself out there on a personal level...but in doing
this page...I am hoping that I will be able to heal as well as be able to let
everyone know what it is like to have such a wonderful friend...Taz I miss
you.
Wizard was a
totally different creature than what Tazmania was...I had no intention of
getting another cat while I had Tazmania but it was either I bring him home or
he ceased to be...soooooo...being me...he came home with me as a tiny
kitten...he was a red cat...need I say more about him...red cats are notorious
for being little devils...he was no exception...he became huge...he was measured
once and was 12" around the head...16" around the belly and 37" from tip of tail
to tip of nose...he was a joy and a terror all rolled into one...he and Taz did
not particularly care for each other...but they tolerated each other...he had
his quirks as cats tend to...and him and I took a long time getting used to each
other...where Taz was gentle...Wiz was a firecracker going off...he was on
everything...in everything and into everything...he brought a whole lot of
smiles to my life...I never knew what he was going to do next...I have less to
say about Wiz simply because I had him a lot less time than I did Taz...not
because I loved him any less than I did Taz...Wiz was with us less than a
year...I lost both Taz and Wiz within the same month...Taz I had to have put to
sleep...she was sick for quite some time...Wiz was playing one minute and dead
within the next...I have no idea why...he was healthy...eating...playing...he
was just suddenly gone...and yes...I miss him as well...I felt that he had every
reason to share Tazmania's rainbow bridge...they will both always be with
me...you two take care of each other...I miss you
both...
Thank you for the time you have taken to share these two
creatures...your time is greatly appreciated...please visit the rest of my site
and sign my guestbook so that I know that you were here and I can visit with
you.
