The very last pic was taken 3 days before her death in 2017, in a field that she loved to go for a walk nearby my flat.

Here is some information about guilt and how to cope with it. I don't know whether that's helpful or not, but it's worth trying.

This is kinda mean of me to tell this story and to call it a "good memory".
But... One night I was about to eat buckwheat crackers and as I took a bite, it made a very loud sound somehow and Söpö, who was on the bed (I ate crackers in a bed... I suppose I don't know how to be a grown up) with me jumped down and made the whole "Halloween cat" posture with puffed fur and all.
It's good that she got over her fright quite quickly.

@StrangeOtter I suppose that's a funny memory, rather than a good one... but your cat would probably be mad at me if she knew.
There's a video someplace showing a cat in front of a mirror, arching their back at their own reflection.

I was thinking about my cat last night. She passed away a few years ago. She jumped on the lap of a repairman that was at my house. She was chewing his beard! He didn't mind as he said he liked cats. Luckily. 
My family's cat Peasant used to groom my head/hair sometimes. More recently, cats I've lived with have groomed my beard and hair, usually by licking but sometimes with their teeth, like they often do with their own fur. I suppose that gives me "cat head" instead of "hat head".

Fifty (RIP) used to groom my ex's hair all the time. He started doing it as a kitten sitting on his shoulders. I have a picture. It was so cute!
@Chryssie I didn't mind it when she licked my hair, but then sometimes she'd proceed to wash an area of my face or arm- and then that rough tongue would start to hurt!
Stella does the hair grooming thing and tries to use her teeth. She’s definitely a “licker” especially my hands. I give her about 3-4 licks then I have to stop her lol. It’s annoying.
One of my cats does that biting thing to my husband's hair. She is sleeping next to his pillow now.
I've been thinking a lot about my cats Peasant and Fluffy/Ambrose lately. Back in late July, after work, I went to the spot in the park where I found Peasant so long ago and wished her a happy birthday. Then I continued on a mile or so away to where we lived years after that, and thought about Ambrose and the critters I knew back then.
Today is Bogart’s gotcha day, ten years ago. I loved his ornery self. Wish he would have lived longer than a year. He liked tofurky, lol. 
Last night I was spending time with my friends and one of them brought their dog along. At one point really late at night, the dog became tired and was like "let's go home, I wanna sleep! What are you humans doing?"
That reminded me of how Söpö would sometimes get confused if I stayed up late at night. She would come real close to me, look at me squinting her tired eyes and then go to the bed kind of like saying "come on already. I wanna sleep, don't you also?"
Such of an cute and good little cat. Damn, I miss her.

My Joon does that too.
She’s so funny. She will even do it during the day…whine and cry and follow me around. MY first thought is always that she wants more food but I find that if I go and sit down, either on the bed or on the couch, she jumps up, curls up and goes to sleep. Apparently she needs me there for nap time too, lol. I don’t mind especially when I need a nap too.
@StrangeOtter sorry you’re missing her. I suppose that never really goes away…just is stronger some times than it is at others. 
Joon sound like such of an angel. 
Yup, it can sometimes be hard. But I was lucky to have her.

You're her Emotional Support human.My Joon does that too.
This is a repeat post for my Facebook followers but I'm missing this snuggle bug this morning.
