Missing Neka, Loving Sabriel, Nakaia, & Trance
Okay so maybe I have odd thinking here but maybe not. It's the way I feel and I'm going to express it and I'm interested in how other's feel.
When Neka had to be put down because of lymphoma, I was obviously crushed and I've kept all of her cat toys and her harness, along with pics and video's obviously. Anyway when I got Sabriel a month later I didn't really have her use any of Neka's toys, I got her new one's and have kept Neka's toys in a bag in a box downstairs. Her two favorite toys and her harness I have with a picture of her on my wall (the toy's and harness are on a small shelf). Her other toys, aside from a squirrel that I gave to Sabriel to play with I more or less kept separate and didn't think that Sabriel could get them until she did tonight...
When I saw her playing with it, at first I was like how in the world did she get it. I didn't say anything, I didn't take it from her, I let her keep the toy she got and I'll let her continue to play with it - as she's played with that one more just tonight than Neka ever did. But with the other toys do I give them to Sabriel? Seeing them out makes me think of Neka more and more, and how things could have been if she didn't get sick. But hell it's been like 7 months now, I need to get over it already. Unfortunately my brain and my heart don't seem to be communicating on that factor.
Anyway with you guys - when a pet has passed did you share it's toys with your next pet? Sabriel does btw have Neka's old cat tree's and such, just not her toys... Maybe I'm odd to feel the way I do but it would be nice to know that maybe someone else felt the same way?...
