[...] Bread Cat | Wild YeastSusan, I’m so glad to read that Stripes is feeling a bit better and getting to have some of her very favorite bread! We have 2 cats, Bunny & Trixie and I just loved your story…..I submitted a bread story also but not half as tender hearted as yours. [...]

Jill, I somehow missed your comment earlier, or would have replied sooner. I’m sorry for your loss of Maggie; I know how difficult it is to lose a beloved pet.

Browndog, that’s hilarious about the tomatoes! Fletcher obviously knew the good stuff.

Susan, I haven’t thought of R Brautigan in years, but I’m sure on some level ‘Trout Fishing in America’ will always be with me. And my dear departed kitty Fletcher LOVED cantaloupe, to this day I get teary when I cut one up, remembering him who’s been gone seven years. He also liked tomatoes, which we discovered because of all the little tooth marks covering the tomatoes left on the counter one day.

Susan, thank you for posting this heartwarming story. I am so very sorry to hear that Stripes is suffering from Kidney failure. My beloved Maggie (My first dog as an adult) passed from this condition in June. Fortunately or unfortunately (I’m not sure), while we knew it was coming, and were treating with meds, she quickly bypassed the stage that Stripes is at where sub-cutaneous fluids could be given. She is in my heart forever, as I’m sure your curmudgeonly, bread-loving kitty is for you.

Molly, I’m so sorry about Chester. We too had a cat named Chester, many years ago.

It’s funny how cats have tastes for different foods. I remember a story by Richard Brautigan about a cat who ate cantaloupe.

Karen & Laura, thank you so much for your warm thoughts.

We had a kitty when I was a teenager who would eat the tops off of cornbread muffins. Her name was Muffin but that’s not how she got it. She also ate green beans out of the can and fresh tomatoes.

Our dear Chester departed us yesterday due to a similar illness. He looked a lot like your Stripes. Give her lots of cuddles.

To all of you who have left kind words or sent healing thoughts our way: THANK YOU so much.

I am happy to report that Stripes is improving — she’s eating more, has a little spring in her step, and can actually mount a bit of a fight when I give her her medicine.

Elizabeth, thanks for reading. I’m glad you liked the story.

Karen and MyKitchenInHalfCups, you’re right: food is sometimes so much more than food, isn’t it? Thank you both for your warm wishes.
