We've had Annie for about a year and a half now. It's taken about a year for her to stop going under the bed all the time and she's even recently stopped, for the most part, going in her "office" (the storage closet). I'm happy to see how much more comfortable she is with us and her home. At one time I despaired of her ever feeling at ease.
I miss Lucy so.
Awww, Annie looks so sweet in there. It's wonderful she feels much safer now.
ReplyDeleteSending (((hugs))) and purrs. We know you miss Lucy. We also know you'll never NOT miss her. Time will ease the sharpness of the grief, but certainly won't "heal", in our opinion.
Peace.
Thinking of you. Lucy will always be a part of you. I find it helps so much to have other kitties to keep going after a loss. They will heal the hole in your heart.

I love that picture and that is a terrific spot! Hugs from all of us, we know how sad the sads can be fur sure.
ReplyDeleteWe had the same problem with Chestnut, who spent a long time under a cupboard before beginning to trust us. Now , one of his favorite places is the basket for linen that 's waiting for ironing!
ReplyDeleteWe all miss Lucy .. <3
I know you miss Lucy, So hard to lose a beloved pet. Annie is a sweetie. Love the pic of her in the drawer. She looks very content!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard missing such a special kitty like Lucy...we're happy you have Annie to watch her blossom and help you heal. Purrs to Simba, too!
ReplyDeleteActually, that picture of Annie in the drawer is very nice. It looks like a painting of a very relax kitty. :)
ReplyDeleteWe miss Lucy too and we understand how especially tough it must be for you. Lots of purrs heading your way. *hugs*
Purrs for you missing Lucy. And that is sure a sweet picture of Annie.
ReplyDeleteLovely picture on Annie in the drawer <3
ReplyDeleteHuggies from me and mom
((hugs)) for your sadness over missing Lucy.
ReplyDeleteWe totally understand and it will take a very very long time to ease those sad feelings.
Annie is so cute in the drawer and maybe she will be drawn out of her shell now.
Annie is very sweet. We're glad she has become more comfortable...it does take time. Even after 5 years living here, Zoey still will run and hide.
ReplyDeleteWe send you comforting purrs...we know how hard it is losing a furbaby...'specially one as special as Lucy.
Annie is one of my special girls, and I am so glad to hear she is adjusting. My Mica Moo is still adjusting, and I will have had her 3 years this July. Sometimes they take a while (ha, ha, what an understatement!). I just keep hoping one day MMM will be "just like a real cat". I hope Annie will too. I know how you miss Lucy, sadly, you probably always will. There's lots of kitties purring for you all here!
ReplyDeleteWe love this picture of Annie in the drawer!
ReplyDeleteWe miss Lucy too. Somehow Lucy reminds our human of our late Cinders. Perhaps it's the fur colour and pattern.
Purrs and headbutts from all of us.
We remember when Annie came to live with you. What a lucky girl she is! We miss Lucy too. (((hugs)))
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how some cats just adjust to people and some do not. Kovu, who has only ever been with us (he turned 7 last week!) is timid and hides from strangers. Can't blame that on some unknown past! Our new guy, Jack, he is in the middle of everything, family, friends, strangers! He is right there checking stuff out!
ReplyDeleteAnnie is lucky to have you!
What a cute face here!
ReplyDeleteGod bless you!
