What does one do when one gets sad and disturbing news? I’ve thought about this a lot and I always want to get near the human and let her, in this case, know I am there to pet or feel or just talk to a little if she feels like it. I suppose that’s all one can do, just be there and be on call when needed.
A very dear and longtime friend of mama is not well. But she will be, I’m sure of that. It’s just that when it happens, it is never easy news to hear for the person afflicted. In fact, it’s just awful. Merde.
I advised mama to really be there, be available anytime she is needed and I’ll be here, too, in case anyone wants my view of things or in case mama needs my help. Mama says that she knows this friend will conquer all because she is strong and able and has a wonderful mind and heart and because she loves Jack Russells and anyone who loves JRs is a person with courage and strength and imagination and adaptibility and mama’s friend will…in short…kick ass with this illness.
I just had to say that because it was the only thing that worked.
We are all here for you, dear friend. Just say the word. Any time.

You are one blessed kitty to have a mama who is just plain exquisite in every way.Forgive her for leaving you now and then —– It is good for her to recharge her” batteries” David Bowie no less.
Wowza !!!Please purr extra loud for your mama’s friend.
Love,Kelby,Buffy,and Thomas
Well, Kelby, Buffy and Thomas (especially little Thomas who was so mistreated and found heaven with rat terriers)…thank you for kind words and yes, there seem to be a lot of anthros ending prayers for mama’s friend! But mama’s friend is a prayer in herself.
We’re sorry to hear about your mama’s friend. We purr that she will be okay.
She is a fighter and that will help and thank you for your purrs.
You are very wise Loulou, just to be there is the most important thing a friend can do for another. We send big rumbly purrs and hope that your Mama’s friend is well again soon

Thank you so much for your kind words. She is a strong lady and that will help too.
I am sorry your Mama’s friend is not well. Kitties are great at comforting humans, I am sure you are helping.
Thanks for your sweet words for mama’s friend who will be glad to hear them.
Yes, it’s hard to learn someone we care about is having a hard time with health or other. How sweet of your mom to be there for her friend and for you to be there for your mom. That’s the way it should be.
We are all in this together, this life with ups and downs and so it goes.
