I had the idea to make a page for my cat, Stu, when I first got him a years ago but never got around to it. He only has one post during the March slice of life in 2023!

Now that I feel like sharing his recent surgery story from his perspective, it makes me a bit uneasy.

Something about creating a page for him seems like I’m muting Patches‘ page (my cat who passed away in 2022). I know it is completed with his final post and some memory posts to help me deal with grief. And I am aware that there can always be new posts with pictures or memories I never shared.

I still don’t know whether to make an over-arching category of my cats (that includes Patches‘ page and Stu’s), or have a page just for Stu and let Patches stay separate.

Emotions can really sneak up on you! I noticed I was wary with wanting to write a Stu post this week when I caught the writing bug again. However, pin pointing the nerves with it on my drive home has me closer to the next step of a page dedicated to Stu.
