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.

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.

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. Susan, thank you for posting this heartwarming story.

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

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. 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.

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.

I'm not at all surprised that Stripes has become more loving with you...I believe they know more than we give them credit for. She knows her time is passing quickly and I'm sure she wants to thank you for all the love you have given her. Continue to share the little bread nibbles with her. The sharing of food is such an act of love. Bless you both. Karen in VA Susan, thank you for sharing your story about Stripes.
