It has been 4 years since Ashley’s death and 2 years since Banjo’s. Instead of rushing in to adopt another cat I needed to help me. Be there for me. It has been a ride figuring out and letting all my feelings out that I felt about their deaths.
It has been hard to deal with both deaths, though Ashley’s was easier because I had adopted Banjo 3 months after her death. I guess it was hard…

It’s Easter 2020 and at the same time I’m celebrating my cat’s birthday. She’s gone but I still remember her everyday. It’s been 4 years since her death and I’m feeling numb. It’s the pain…I know.
I’m still able to function every day but now is the time for me to take care of myself. I’ve been gaining belly fat since I learned of her illness and then even more when Banjo became ill. I have no regrets taking them in. They gave me love and a sense of self-esteem that I would not have been able to on my own. But now without either of them, the lessons continue. Self-esteem isn’t easy to get on my own but with what I remember what Ashley taught me, I think I can get there.
Anyway, here is a slideshow of Ashley, my baby girl forever. Even though she was mine for 14 months, she’s still mine. And she’d say so too–by the way she followed me in her cage where I saw her for the first time at the Toronto Humane Society.
She’s in Heaven with God where He’s taking care of her and where, hopefully, she’s playing with other kitties. I hope to meet her in Heaven. That’s my biggest hope–that I’ll get to keep both Ashley and Banjo with me in Heaven.

Ashley’s Birthday It's Easter 2020 and at the same time I'm celebrating my cat's birthday. She's gone but I still remember her everyday.
Banjo's Birthday
Banjo’s Birthday
Whoever owned Banjo before me had the best Christmas present ever–and arriving 3 days before Christmas.
3 is a good luck number, to me.
Happy Birthday, Banjo!

Thank You
Thank you, Ashley and Banjo. You have been the best of what is love on Earth.
Ashley, for you were the first to give true love. D-Day October 30, 2016.
And, you, Banjo. Had given me so much love. What comes around goes around. Once I said to Ashley, “I’ll love you so much that you’ll get sick of me.” Banjo, you had given me so much love and affection that sometimes I’d wanted to tell you to…

My Journey Since Departing the Old
My Journey Since Departing the Old
he bigger things I’ve gotten and I think I can speak for everyone is love. Before January 31, 2013 I didn’t seem to have the capacity to love. But one day I moved into a place where there are women only (thank goodness!), one roommate had a kitty who had a litter of 4 or 5. One cat was named Angel. And she really was one. She was so good to my senior kitty whom I’ve adopted from the Toronto…

Firsts After 40: Giving Blood!
Firsts After 40: Giving Blood!
I started the day off later than usual. Close to noon. The alarm went off at 6 am and some part of me said, “Back to sleep.”
It was a long weekend (4 days!) and I wasn’t working on Saturday and that meant (horns blowing please!) a lot of time to do whatever I want! Yay! I like that!
When I get out of the house it’s usually to do an errand. The rare times I leave home for anything else is…

It’s Family Day in Ontario.
Still have a lot of feelings about Ashley and all that she was to me. It’s easier to post vids and images of her to communicate what I she was for me:

"I Will Always Remember You"
“I Will Always Remember You”
October 30, 2016. Pause.
Summer of 2015 I walked through Room T of the Toronto Humane Society. Looking around the room. Ashley followed my steps as much as she could in her cage. A friend told me how I can tell when a cat likes me. I knew Ashley did. She walked back and forth as I was doing. And just so that it wasn’t a fluke or the trick of my mind I walked towards the door and then towards…

Pictures say a thousands words, don’t they?
Now…my fave moment with Ashley September 20, 2016.
And I think that pets will love back because they’re receiving love from the humans they depend on.
Cats Saying, “I Love My Mama!” Pictures say a thousands words, don't they? Now...my fave moment with Ashley September 20, 2016. And I think that pets will love back because they're receiving love from the humans they depend on.
Life lesson(s): for those that love me, and I love, I work hard, pass my mental limitations to give them a quality of life they didn’t have BM (before me) and pretty much Heaven AM (after me).
Ashley deserved a life extended so that she receives love from me and her BFF Angel. Banjo deserves a better life than he’s gotten. He deserves someone who will give him 100% attention. Pets depend on their humans for their entire life! Money is always the issue but I’m working now and don’t expect to develop a life altering illness for the next few years. Menopause is around the corner.
My Babies Forever Life lesson(s): for those that love me, and I love, I work hard, pass my mental limitations to give them a quality of life they didn't have BM (before me) and pretty much Heaven AM (after me).
Without him I’d take longer to get over Ashley’s death. I still miss her:
I go on doing what I do every day, laugh when something is funny, bust something when something is too funny, and live without the nightmarish euthanasia at my door.
Thank you, Banjo, for being you. You are a loving cat. You give affection. You get affection back. I know in 10 years from now that your presence in my life will change me in ways that are only positive. It’s happened already.
Animals are amazing in teaching humans about love and relationships. In the end I won’t be broken anymore because of Banjo and what he does for me. Thank you God for Banjo!
Thankful for Banjo Without him I'd take longer to get over Ashley's death. I still miss her: I go on doing what I do every day, laugh when something is funny, bust something when something is too funny, and live without the nightmarish euthanasia at my door.
Purr-fect Moment Wouldn't have Banjo if I didn't walk away from Hell/The WarZone.

Feline BFFs: Banjo and TwoCan; Ashley and Angel
Two months, it took, for TwoCan to accept that my bedroom is Banjo’s room–that it was always my bedroom and not TwoCan’s…then the talk about his choice of who he likes to spend most of his time with and that I deserve to have my own cat to take care of…here it is. Just like Angel and Ashley BFFs playing…
TwoCan and Banjo BFFs are…

Cuteness Named Banjo He loves sleeping under the blanket:

Banjo…my baby boy.
Three months after Ashley’s death I met you at Toronto Humane Society. You were hiding under the towel and then in the box when trying to meet with you. You were so cute then. you are still so very cute every moment I spend with you.
When an animal bring this much happiness in my life it’s worth keeping until his/her last breath.

Firsts after 40: Ashley is my first love relationship.
More Firsts After 40 Firsts after 40: Ashley is my first love relationship.
Both were adopted from the Toronto Humane Society. Had Ashley (right) from August 2015 until her death on October 30, 2016. Then adopted Banjo (left) towards the end of January 2017 and hope to have him until his last days.
I’ll never forget Ashley. She, as is typical of a Russian Blue cat, chose me as the person she’ll love for the end of her days. I loved and cared for her–more than anyone has ever cared for her–from the moment I brought her home until her last moments.
It’s still Family Day in Ontario. This post is dedicated to my family: Ashley and Banjo.
