~ Pixie~

 

On a lighter note, I would like to introduce you to Pixie Longtail.

Her name at the shelter was Jalepeno and I would just like

to add that when you run across an animal with a descriptive name like this...

take note and question it!

*******

She came here as a spicy and uncontrollable small kitten...much like the

uncontrollable burn in your mouth after eating a jalepeno pepper.

She has been destroying most of my belongings and into everything I have. I see her all the

time just walking around the house looking for something to tear up when she is bored. (for real)

She has an obsessive fascination with my dried hydrangea arrangements and is destroying them

one by one. She carries off jewelry and trinkets that are lying around, and she runs

full speed and jumps upon tables scattering my displays. I couldn't

even bring all of my Christmas decorations out last year for fear of Pixie

destroying my beautiful ornaments and keepsakes... I have had

to change my life completely because she is unlike any cat that I have ever had before.

 At this point, I cannot even trust her to roam freely about the house 

while I sleep or when I am gone. She is a bundle of impulses all 

wrapped up in a sweet looking kitten. Every decision that I make now has to be prefaced

by the question...can Pixie get to this or will Pixie destroy this?

*******

I lost my precious angel Tabitha last year. I loved her so much... 

My whole world crumbled when

she left me. I know it sounds odd putting so much emotional 

attachment onto a cat ~ but Tabitha was my soul mate. We connected

on a higher level and she was always with me. She helped me through

so much and was sometimes more of a comfort to me

than my own family members. Animals have a way of accepting you

as you are...they know when you are having difficult times

and all that they offer you is unconditional love. She helped 

me through so much.

*******

My kids, in an effort to get me out of my pain and loss, took it

upon themselves to replace Tabitha's memory with Pixie. I wasn't ready

to accept her when she first came here. I was still grieving and 

didn't want to deal with another cat so soon. However, time is slowly healing

my wounds and Pixie is helping me through my grief. I still have 

an occasional  ugly cry for Tabitha &  I still miss her deeply. I truly think

that Pixie has been sent to me to help me recover. She has a sweet side

and tries to cuddle and she even follows me around sometimes. I am learning to

laugh at her destructive side and we are reaching a silent spiritual connection.

This leads me to conclude that ~

we may not always know what we want or need in this life but I think that we are 

taken care of by much higher powers that do!
