I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙
Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
This post will be shorter than usual because I didn't get much sleep last night, and because my heart hurts over the loss of my dear, sweet kitty friend, that I've mentioned (and shared photos of) in my posts, who died early this morning (the post date is from yesterday, Wednesday the 27th, while today is Thursday the 28th). I had the joy of sharing a few short months with this beautiful little being, having come to me by way of Iolanthe (Ano and Melekai's 11-year-old daughter), who got her at a local farmers market from someone who's cat had kittens, and was giving them away. The problem was, and that I didn't know at the time, she was taken away from her mother too early, so she was was not able to nurse for long enough period of time, which for all mammals, humans included, is essential. This has extremely deleterious affects on the development of her growing body and her health.
Because this gorgeous little kitten was not able to nurse for suffient amount of time, her body could not develop correctly. She was healthy, happy, and playful, running and jumping all over the place for the first few weeks of her time with me, then in within a period of only a day or two, she became unable to use her back legs well, to the point where she basically pulled herself along with her front legs, with her back legs being dragged behind her. She could move her back legs, she just couldn't use them. Soon her spine began to contort, until the days before she died where, because of the intense spinal contortions, her ribs began to compress her organs and lungs. It broke my heart so much to see her like this. I did my absolute best every day to give her love and affection, to try to bring a little happiness to her difficult life.
I did everything I could to attempt to compensate in terms of food and nutrition, to turn things around, but she was very picky about what she would eat, and in the end nothing I tried had any real effect. For a fairly long period, most of the time that she was with me, not much changed. She didn't get worse, but she also didn't improve. It was only three days ago, when she stopped eating, that she began to decline quickly.
I had a strong feeling that last night was going to be my last time with her, and that feeling turned out to be accurate. I did my best to help her feel comfortable, and to let her know how much I loved her. In the morning I knew that she was dead even before I checked on her. That was around 7AM. I buried her small body next to a young coconut palm, near the Flow House, where she spent most of her short life. I'm wondering when my broken heart will heal after all the loss I've experienced over the past year or two. I don't know. I'm still alive, and I'll keep doing my best. That's all I can say at the moment.

I'm so sorry to hear about your sad loss!
I understand how much you loved your kitty friend.
Rest in peace, little guy (I love animals and it truly is sad when one dies, more so when we have them as pets).
I hope you can find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared together.
Take all the time you need to heal and rest well.
I hope you can find a new companion soon, sometimes they are a burden, but they are worth sharing with and loving and cherishing.
They were the first settlers of our earth world.

Sharing your sadness here. Good-bye little kitty. I've also experienced losing a lot of kittens in the past year. I lost two of my fave kitties last year -- Maize (9 months old) passed on the New Year; Kuai (2yo) passed in Feb a few days after turning 2. :( Then, there's Cutedin from outdoor. Now, I'm missing Grumpy and Twilight who both went out and have not come back. sigh It's not easy and somehow comforting words may not be enough. Do know I'm sending healing vibes your way. I pray we find our peace knowing our loved furry friends are in a better place. Have a blessed new year celebration!

Very sorry about your cat, she was really cute. She was way too young but it's clear you gave her the best life she could have under the circumstances.
I know that no words can really make it any easier, so I'll just let you heal and rest.

I look at it as if she was lucky to have you care for her, the person getting rid of them too soon would have gotten rid of her to someone else who might not have given her the love and care that you provided for her. It is heartbreaking when things happen to a pet, they are family and the loss of one hurts no less. Hugs for you @tydynrain.

Thank you very much, Erik. I really appreciate that. Yes, healing my heart is very necessary. I'm at a bit of a loss for exactly how to do it when I seem to keep experiencing one heart-breaking experience after another, so I never fully heal before the next one hits. I do promise to do my best, though. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
All the best to your healing Tydyn.
