I crossed to the bridge and Mom lit a candle for me.........

My Mom still misses me and yesterday was especially hard. I know she wishes I could be with her always and forever. I'm her family and she says its hard without me. I was just so cute, fun and cuddly. She misses me sleeping on the pillow next to her where she would cuddle me.

Here is my candle for the next 48 hours where you can look at the lit ones and light one yourself.

Mom says "I'm the best Cat in the World"

I'm loved by Mom so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

Let me tell you a story. My Mom adopted me when I was 9 months old in Feb 1994. See Mom was only 26 back then and never had her own Cat before. She loved animals and grew up with dogs and wanted an animal of her own very badly. She didn't have a back yard at the time so she thought why wait for a yard when she could see what it would be like with a Cat. So she found me, Zeba!!!!! She says I was beautiful and full of energy and she fell in love with me the moment she laid eyes on me. I being Persian have a funny little nose and Mom said when she first saw me she thought wow that is one little nose! Over the years Mom has alway pet and rub me on my nose, boy does that feel good!!

My Mom said I was the funnest cat ever!!!!!!!

She told me there wasn't a person that came over to see us that didn't say I was one cool cat!!! Everyone loved me I was always so popular!!! My Mom's family and friends say they get a "kick out of me" and that I'm "so cool". I would run around and throw my toys up in the air and sprint around the room just to give my guests a good show. Mom would often try to "entertain" by showing my skills that I cleverly let her think she taught me. I would first telepathically tell her to get out lots of cat treats then I would perform. I would of course with cat treats in her hand do my best to sit when she would tell me and roll over as long as those treats were there following me in the roll. I would show the guests how I run at my Mom's heals no matter where she walks. She would try to show the guests how she couldn't even trick me, if she moved I moved, if she turned I turned, if she ran I ran. It was a show stopper!!! She would show them how if I was somewhere else besides her heals all she had to do was call out "Zeba come" and I ran to her faster than she could finish saying it every time! I even would do that for her when we were alone because I knew if she was calling me to come to her it would be a good reason. When friends and family stayed over I made sure I gave them a little tickle on their toes and pawed and playfully bit them while they were resting in bed. I could be the toughest of the tough and go after those toys like they would really regret it if they were real. I knew how to get those guests going and play with me. And if they thought they could play with me with their hand well they always called uncle first! I could catch their hand before they could even blink!

My Mom said I'm the best cuddlier ever!!!!!

I would delight my Mom in the morning when she would wake up and see me on her pillow. She would still feel tired so she would cuddle her head against me and try to fall back to sleep. I would roll my head around in what she says an adorable way and put my paw on her head and turn on the purring charm. It put a smile on her face every time!!!!! I would often lay on her lap and watch TV with her but only if she padded it with a blanket first so winter was our best time to cuddle. I always let her pick me up and kiss my face too even though it was just for her.

I gave my Mom 17 wonderful years the best of our life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just left last night to the rainbow bridge. Mom couldn't let go it was so hard for her. She stayed with me at the Vets for 7 hours just holding me because she just couldn't say goodbye. She thought I was improving a little more and took me home just for a few more hours and cuddled me some more and then took me to the Vets to help me make my journey to the bridge. Mom just had a hard time saying goodbye and held me for hours all day yesterday. I think I'm okay with moving out of my Mom's house to the rainbow bridge but Mom well that is a different story. She has her heart broken who could blame her I am a cool cat!!! She just loved me so much and for so long that she just had a hard time letting go and saying goodbye.

I'm going to do my best to make her heart heal and keep our memories going because she deserves to remember the love I gave her!!!!

It's not goodbye its just the end of the diary journal
