Miss Ashkey

Miss Ashkey continues to make progress here at Bastet's Kindle. We have been working very lovingly and consistently with her to help her get over her loss. Unbeknownst to her, she is the poster child for the Kubler-Ross model, commonly known as the 5 stages of grief. We hope we are creeping up on Stage #5, Acceptance.

Ashkey loved someone, a man we believe, as much as any cat can love anyone. She continues to look for him and hopes for him to find her. As she meets new people, she has a flash of hope, followed by anger or depression when she realizes "it ain't him."

So we have given her lots and lots of toys, a super soft bed, important play time, and many, many hugs and kisses. Yesterday, a little girl played with her for over an hour and Ashkey seemed very happy about it afterwards.

A remarkable person, man or woman, needs to adopt this remarkable cat and take a lifetime to show her that a broken heart can be repaired.
