Hey everyone... I went to cremate one of my cats today, after she passed away last weekend.
I just haven't felt upto responding to comments and such over the past week and I ask for your kind understanding as to why I might not respond for a little while.
I'll definitely put up a more comprehensive post later about my dear Jinny in memory of her.
Thanks for reading (both the above and SF) and I'll catch you guys next week. Remember to love those you care for while you can.
EDIT: I finished that more comprehensive post about Jinny here, in a ComicFury forum post, if you are interested in reading it.
XD I suppose it probably wasn't too much of a problem before when Lyn couldn't see or hear, but I wonder if he also ended up waking people up back then, too.
I'm so sorry to hear about Jinny, Rufi. When my Max died in 2015, this poem gave me a lot of solace, and I would like to share it with you.
(I still miss him terribly, btw)
THE NAMING OF CATS, from Old Possom's book of cats, by TS Eliot
The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
But all of them sensible everyday names.
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.
Thank you DLK for your kind sympathies and comforting poem. ;v;* I appreciate it. I'm sure I will miss her terribly until I see her again one day. I'm sure you'll see Max again one day too. ;v;*
I'm very late again to comment (sorry...), but I've been praying for you. Losing a friend like that is so hard.
I hope you find some comfort and encouragement <3 *sends many internet hugs to you*
And please, take all the time you need to recover. We can wait.

Why does he look surprised? He should have figured on waking someone in close proximity. LOL
Well done on the background here though!
Lyn is a little embarrassed as he didn't mean to wake him up XD
And thank you, I'm glad the background comes across as decent! :D
<3
Sorry to hear about your cat.
And thank you for your sympathy. ;v;*
Sorry about your cat :(
And thank you for your sympathies ;v;*
@a/n: awwwwww... *comforts and hugs* =S
My condolences - and thank you for letting us know...
...and also thanks for the link...
And thank you very much for your kind words and condolences. ;v;*

As for today's comic...Lyn, maybe practice your squats away from people if you don't want them to notice and question what you're doing. XD
He wanted to stay within proximity, lol XD
Sorry for your loss... losing a pet is pretty hard.
And thank you for your kind sympathies. ;v;*
