Mom: i'm not usually sentimental...i don't scrapbook, don't usually catalog the photos i take. i have a few things from my parents that i hold onto fiercely as they are reminders of relationships that aren't available to me now.
as cat mom--more particularly as suzanne's cat mom--it's a little different. i have the many pictures of her that i have taken in the past two months. i'm so glad i've got a camera.
after suzanne crossed the bridge on the 11th, i started to look for something that i could wear, that i would always have. i didn't want clothing as that wears out. as i looked, i found a pretty ring of a curled up and sleeping cat. my pretty girl. and it's shiny.
see mom's crooked fingers? they're hereditary. when she puts her hands together, the tips of her index fingers are almost an inch apart because they curve so much!
(mom's hands are much too shaky for a camera without an image stabilizer! we're going to upgrade soon!)

I, not my cats are jalous now ! your mom's ring would also be wonderful on my finger, lol ! Kitten Rosie got today two toy mice and is playing with that you can see her on my blog.
Mommy Toni's ring is so very pretty! And it's a perfect reminder of Suzanne! You know what, my Mommy has crooked fingers, too. And as with your Mommy, her's are hereditary.
I hope you both have a fantstic weekend. Make sure to take in a show and you must have dinner at New York, New York!
I love you!

That is a very nice ring. A perfect memory to live in your hearts.
happy day <3
That's a very nice and shiny ring! What a great reminder of your kitty and a great choice for the photohunt. Happy Hunting :)
I like that ring furry much ... Even more so since it has sentiment attached to it.
Mom didn't inherit the crooked finger gene ... Her fingers are a little bent due to holding a pen oddly ...

It is a beautiful ring. A good remembrance.
how furry sweet - that's lovely!
What a beautiful ring! And you can think of Suzanne every time you look at the ring. The cat on the ring reminds me of Suzanne, sweet and curled up sleeping.
A perfect tribute to Suz! You have been in my Mommies thoughts this week. She is happy to see that you have found a wonderful visual reminder of sweet Suzanne. Smooches and purrs!
That's a beautiful ring, and a lovely tribute to precious Suzanne.
Love, purrs, and snuggles from Marilyn!
