lost kitty

some goodbyes are forever.
some goodbyes are temporary.
2 years compared to never seems quite short.

i bought this t-shirt for you 2 years ago
but i never got the chance to give it to you.
it's mine now :) or maybe it always belonged
to me, look at the title, "lost kitty."
i wanted you to see what it said,
i thought it was cute.

BRING CLEO TO CHLOE AT 135 SUN ST.
256-6555

How strange I have a cat called cleo she's a siamese and she loves me so much she follows me where ever I go

mermaid said...

I'm glad the lost kitty was found. I hope that you, too are soon found by the owner of this T-shirt.

Lorena said...

cool coincidence Sue!

mermaid :: me too. i hope so too :)!

irina :: yeah, i exist in that sadness for a little longer than some i think because i always find myself missing people that although i've known for a short time, have left a great impression.

cannotBeTrusted :: i think craig's list is a good bet, thanks for the useful tidbits however this kitty has been found! :)

gulnaz said...

that was such a cute t-shirt and such a wonderful idea too! just the kind of thing i'd have done myself.
hang in there sweetie! the elves at the lost and found dept. are slow but they do catch up eventually. ;)

venus said...

lucky are those who can find their lost love back Lorena. It's precious, but for love, they say it set it free, so don't hold it fast!

Lorena said...

thanks corinna :)

gulnaz :: we are such sweetie's aren't we! that was so cute, about the little elves :)

venus :: good advice, thanks :)

stella said...

Wow! A T-shirt looking for a kitty and a kitty was found. I am going to get a shirt depicting the search for, say, big cash or maybe lots of hot beautiful chickies!!!
Rock on!

amiethinggoes said...

bablu said...

The inocence of that design (specially the kitty in the tree) was what shrunk my soul the most. It was as if designed by a fifth grade girl. I'll guess you must have been felt very vulnerable by that time...

Lost and found... What did you found you lost, what really came back, what just went to the land of reminisence, being the memory the only presence posible?

I don't know, it is just so sad...

Take care and God bless you...

H.

But the kitty in the tree looked sooooo cute... Awwwwwwwww!

I have a Kitty, her name is Anastasia and it was given to me in Chicago. She is schizoid, but in her loving mode time she is cute...

Anonymous said...

Let me guess, Cleo left her home for dreams of stardom, then, later when she failed the audition in the Chicago Theater she called home, seeing a life of sure Meow Mix with sure love is not so mediocre after all... :0)

Take care and God bless,

H.

Lorena said...

hi scientist, i know the drawing is adorable. reminds me of how i use to draw houses and trees. i thought it was cute and when i bought it, it was with no sadness.

"being the memory the only presence possible" nice words, i like that. yeah, sometimes that is all we have.

anastasia, pretty name.
thanks for the storyline :) i love it!! cleo was on the phone...hmm....

thanks & take care.

vishnoi said...

a real cute shirt.. with the descriptions of a strange cat ;)

Lavinia said...

Hey there, this is such a beautiful and inspirational blog.

The photography, text and the whole look of it come together really well.

I miss having cat so much, but I split my time between living on campus (no pets allowed) and home (big dog, not cat friendly) so its impossible for me to have one right now.

Treasure your little one^_^

So this is a true story? Wow. How sweet that the cat was found. did you buy the t-shirt while the cat was still lost? What a lovely post paralleling the lost kitty with your lost friend. I hope you reconnect.

Very cute poem indeed...

A proper epitaph for a cat I found once lying dead by the roadside...
