After losing Bear, I never thought I would connect with another cat like I did with him. Ellie Mae is the most incredible cat I've ever met. We connected every bit as strongly (maybe even more) - just in a different way. She trusted me completely and never let me forget that she loves me. She fought with every fiber of her being to be with me, until her last moments, when I told her to let go.
EM: Hiiiiiii, Bearrrrr! I miiiiiisssssed you!
BC: {groggily waking up and mumbling} Oh, what fresh hell is this?!
BC: {snapping awake} SMELLIE?!? {looking around} You are? Like really dead? Not just saying that like I do so you leave me alone?
EM: Awww. You called me Smellie ... I never thought I would miss that. Yep. I'm definitely dead.
BC: Wait! If you're here, who's rescuing Momma?
EM: Latte-ish? Ummm ... I didn't really get enough time to teach her how. Momma says she's your love child with one of your torties.
BC: You had 5 years!
EM: I fought cancer for two years! That took a lot of my time. And actually saving Momma took the rest! She requires a lot of snuggles and paws on support. And Latte's a tortie. So she never listens. But if it makes you feel better, when I was dying, Momma told me I saved her. She said every time she advocates for her cat or for herself, it will be because of me.
BC: Why are you here?
EM: Aww! You love me!
BC: *** damn it!
EM: Bear!
BC: You're starting to sound like Momma! Who was ANNOYING, I might add.
EM: Then don't be an idiot and get us kicked out!
EM: Ellie Mae Kat [black, gorgeously floofy lady cat]
BC: Bear Cat Kat [handsome tabby cat]
NOTE: The images in this post (below) are AI-generated using Google Gemini. That is not up to my standard of using my own images, but the thought of finding my own images of Bear and Ellie for this post felt overwhelming. I hope our readers understand.
EM: Hiiiiiii, Bearrrrr! I miiiiiisssssed you!
BC: {groggily waking up and mumbling} Oh, what fresh hell is this?!
EM: {whispering} Aren't we in heaven? Because if not, someone is going to get a piece of my mind.
BC: {still groggy} Go away. I'm dead.
EM: I know. So am I!
BC: {snapping awake} SMELLIE?!? {looking around} You are? Like really dead? Not just saying that like I do so you leave me alone?

BC: Why are you here?
EM: I'm dead. Duh. I mean ... this is heaven, right? Otherwise, someone made a huge mistake in my processing. I guess I should ask why YOU'RE here. Hahaha!
BC: Very funny. No. I mean my heaven is supposed to include only the people and things I want to ...
{Pause}
BC: @#$%!
EM: You want me here with you forever! You LOOOOOVE me!
BC: That could always change! Forever is a long time.

EM: You want me here with you forever! You LOOOOOVE me!
BC: That could always change! Forever is a long time.
EM: You LOVE me!
BC: {mumbling} Love is a little strong ... {loudly} G damn it!
EM:{Ducking and looking around for lightning bolts while gasping}
BC: What?
EM: {Whispering} I just got here. I don't want to get in trouble already!
BC: For what?
EM: What did you say?
BC: Were you listening? G...
EM: STOP!
BC: Oh. Rats. To be honest, I've been here for 5 years, and I've never been in trouble. Sawyer almost blocked me out of his heaven once for a practical joke ... but then I reminded him he ran away from home for days and dealt with seizures, so he can take a little joke. He thanked me for reminding him that he's a total badass. Though we had another issue when Astrid showed up.
{Mumbling in the background}
BC: All I said was that I would show her around!
{More mumbling in the background}
BC: You better not talk about my sisfur that way!
BC: {mumbling} Love is a little strong ... {loudly} G damn it!
EM:{Ducking and looking around for lightning bolts while gasping}

{Mumbling}
BC: Okay! Fine! If you said that to my sisfur I'd want to beat you up, too.
EM: Aww! You love me!
BC: *** damn it!
EM: Bear!
BC: You're starting to sound like Momma! Who was ANNOYING, I might add.
EM: Then don't be an idiot and get us kicked out!
BC: Don't hate the player, hate the game.
EM: What does that even mean?
{Pause}
EM: You don't know, do you?!
BC: What do you think it means?
EM: I'm not going to do your thinking for you!
BC: Because your one brain cell is already overwhelmed.
EM: I have a boyfriend! So even if somecat hit on me, I'm TAKEN. His name is Woodrow!
BC: I heard about him from Dexter! The Lovable Dum Dum! Like you!
EM: We have a lot in common. And we're misunderstood.
BC: Talking about Dexter, there are a lot of cats here! Brian, Tara, Truffles, Fiona, Raz, Sampy, Tucker, Harvey, Ernie, Wally .... and I met AMARULA!!!! Hubba hubba!
EM: So you can't get sent ... down?
BC: You mean to the eternal vet visit? Not that I know of.

EM: {looking around} Well, you're still here, so ... I mean, with your track record of causing trouble and lusting after torties ...
BC: Hey! I do not ***LUST*** after torties. Everything is consensual. Usually.
{Mumbling in the background}
BC: That is NOT what happened with Penny! She peed in my favorite box! Phoebe wasn't there!
{Mumbling in the background}
BC: That is NOT what happened with Penny! She peed in my favorite box! Phoebe wasn't there!
EM: How many torties have blocked you here?
BC: AHEM. So you kept saving Momma?
EM: I did my best. She is a lot of work. You could've warned me!
BC: I did!
EM: Oh, yeah.
BC: You could've listened.
EM: Blah blah blah. Oh! Momma said I could tell you that she loves me more.
BC: When you were dying?
EM: What does that have to do with anything?
BC: It must've been her grief speaking.
EM: She laughed after she said it!
BC: She probably laughed because she knew it would piss me off.
EM: She also said I was the best cat ever.
BC: Well, duh. I broke too much stuff to be the best cat.
EM: I did my best. She is a lot of work. You could've warned me!
BC: I did!
EM: Oh, yeah.

EM: OOH! Now we have FOREVER to braid each other's fur! And now, when you say you're dead, I won't walk away because you can't be deader than dead!
BC: Oh, what fresh hell is this?!
EM: You missed me! You KNOW you did! Because I missed you.
BC: Okay. Okay. Just keep it down.
EM: I miss Momma, though. I love her. And she and I made a good team.
BC: I miss her, too. You did a good job, Smellie.
EM:{sniffing} Re ... real ... really?!?
BC: You did a wonderful job of saving Momma. Thank you.
EM: {whispering} She saved me a little, too.
BC: That's the best part, isn't it?
EM: Well, I mean, the catnip was pretty good, too ... and the treats ...
BC: We have those here.
EM: REALLY?!?!
BC: Yeah.
EM: But Momma?
BC: No.
EM: {sniffling}
BC: It's okay, Smellie.
EM: {perking up} Braid each other's fur?
BC: Umm ... only until Amarula comes back from hunting birds.
EM: OH! Do you think Amarula would let me braid her fur?
BC: I'm not sure I'd really ask ... she prefers less ... eagerness?
EM: Oh, okay. I can be cool and laid back. COOOOOOOLLLL ... and LAAAAAAAAID BAAAAAACCCK.
BC: {mumbling to himself} What could possibly go wrong?
