At least all of the owners I know. I have never asked why but I've wondered why people grieve in different ways and for different lengths of time. I may be wrong in my assumption that all cat owners grieve at all. I've also wondered why we grieve our cats and our humans differently.<br />
<br />
This was on my mind because I was updating some writing samples and came across something I wrote in 2008.
I had lost two cats in two days. One died of Feline Infectious Peritonitis and another died of Cardiomyopathy. I was not prepared for either death. I did not know that one cat was sick. I knew that the other cat was sick but just for just several days. Mariah had to be put to sleep. Shelby died instantly of heart failure.<br />
Their sudden absence was more than I could comprehend.
This is what I wrote at the time. I felt like sharing it today. I have more questions about grief, one is about why we might grieve our cats in a different way than we do our humans. I might write about the questions, I might not. I do not want to think about it too much but I think that when insight into something I fear comes to me, I better express it. I mention a third cat named Seamus. He was a cat that was my good-natured soul mate. At that time I'd had him for 12 years.
<br />
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>I still feel Mariah's spirit with me. She was that special cat just for me that set off a whole series of events. I feel Shelby too. She was so quiet and sweet. I keep seeing her in my peripheral vision. She was so much a part of the house. I keep stepping over her in the dark even though she isn't there. </b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>
I am not that strong but I am trying to be strong. I cry at specific times: When I'm in the shower and when I get into bed. Mariah used to sit behind the shower curtain and poke me while I took a shower. Every once in a while she would slide right into the tub and get soaked. So I always think of her in there. </b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>She also loved to sleep with me. She always wanted to be tucked under my chin and she'd knead my neck. Seamus would try to curl up with me and Mariah would head butt him right out of the way every time. And if Seamus got there before she did, Mariah would sink her little teeth in Seamus' rear end or his neck until he gave up and went away! </b></span></blockquote>
<blockquote>
<span style="color: #741b47; font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Shelby would join us in the morning. She would quietly curl up at about my waist and let out little squeaks when I would scratch her back. She would roar like a cougar at Seamus though. They were territorial about me and the kitten.
So I cry in the shower and in my bed. But I must bathe and sleep. And for now, cry...sometimes.
I don't want to sleep. But I am so tired.</b></span></blockquote>

This didn't make me cry today. I just remembered it. So at some point in the last 5 years I stopped actively grieving for my cats. I have heard that we grieve our pets more than our humans because our pets are actually closer to us. Our cats love us unconditionally. But I still cry for my mother and sister and I think of them every day. I lost my mother and sister in 1995 and 1997. We loved each other like humans love each other, sometimes it hurts.<br />

<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><i><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span></i></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>Gene:</b> Now this is controversial, and we are all entitled to our opinions...but this is mine. And I think Jean (Mill) would agree. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>I have always felt that the most unique feature of the Bengal, what sets it apart from all other breeds, is its incredibly wild-patterned coat. </b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">No other domestic breed has markings like this, it is truly the most distinctive feature of the breed, and for thousands of years, man has been drawn to the beauty of the gorgeous rosetted coats of leopards and ocelots. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">We're seeing Bengals out there now who have even more incredible coats and markings that its wild ancestors. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>So yes, I am thrilled with what breeders are doing.</b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">Ok, since I have stuck my neck out here, I'll bring up another controversial subject, where many will disagree with my views. But it's my opinion, take it or leave it. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>To me, a big factor in the beauty of the Bengal's pattern and one that is even mentioned in the Standard, is contrast.</b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">No matter what the pattern, without good contrast, the pattern is lost. I said this long ago when there was so much ticking in coats that you could hardly see the markings, and I think it's just as bad with charcoals. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>Charcoals, to me, are the exact opposite of what we've been working towards for a quarter of a century. </b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">So this is the one aspect of current breeding programs that I am not happy with, the use of charcoals. And remember...recessives are forever!!!</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>There will always be the negative aspect of breeding, those who breed just for quantity, regardless of what the cats look like. </b></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;">All breeds have this, and I suppose there's not much that can be done about it. </span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 17.77777862548828px;"><b>I've always believed that ultimately, the public demand for the "real thing" will win out.</b></span><br />

<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;">Gene Ducote (Gogees) was one of the earliest Bengal Breeders and was one of the founders of The International Bengal Cat Society. She watched the breed develop as new Bengal Breeders took progeny from her program and other early programs and made choices that created the Bengal we see today.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;">The International Cat Association provides a general <a href="http://www.tica.org/public/breeds/bg/intro.php" target="_blank">description of the Bengal </a> and a specific <a href="http://www.tica.org/members/publications/standards/bg.pdf" target="_blank">Bengal Breed standard</a> yet Breeders have always had differing ideas about what the Bengal Cat should be. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;"><b>I wanted to know what Gene thought about how the breed turned out...</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;">...so I asked her. </span><span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: inherit;">She had a lot to say! I have divided her response into two posts.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b>Gene: </b>I think this is the normal progression of a breed, any breed, and I am happy to say that I am thrilled with the way the breed has progressed. By virtue of photos that I see posted on facebook
and the web, I see most breeders very proudly displaying cats that come
very close to what Jean Mill originally had in mind for the breed.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b>Of course I can't speak for Jean Mill,</b> </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">...but I think her goal was to
produce a domestic cat with the spectacular beauty of the wildcats. We've got
that now, and even more!! </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b>I never dreamed we'd be seeing such incredible cats

<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;">...and I'm curious to think about what we'll see in
another 10 years. </span><br />
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #38761d; font-family: inherit;"><b>How much better can it get?<o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

I love them. I eat them like potato chips. eek. Yes, the whole pizza. I just put a thin layer of cheese and sliced fresh tomatoes on it.. And I'm thin.<br />
<br />
Sooo. The portion information on the box is just some silliness, right? 10 servings at 70 calories each? 700 for the whole pizza without toppings? The pizza dough has the same portion and calorie information as the <a href="http://www.chebe.com/Products/Dry-Mixes/Chebe-All-Purpose-Mix.aspx">Chebe All-purpose Bread mix</a> and that just makes 4 sandwich buns...they turned out like dinner rolls when I made them though. I can eat one very quickly. And that would be 2.5 servings at 175 calories, right?<br />
<br />
Am I lost in justification-land? I'm not afraid to state my weight but suffice it to say it's appropriate for my height. I don't want to talk about the sodium. Lalalala! I'm not listening!<br />
<br />
Wait! It might not be that bad...1100 for the whole 14" pizza. And the carbs? 180 for the whole thing?
