indoors Arrival Story: My husband (then boyfriend) and I were taking a walk. We heard loud dog barking/growling noises and squealing kitty noises which really concerned us. We followed the noise....and were totally stunned by what we found. We will spare the details as it gruesome and graphic....we just knew we had to get the cat away from that situation. When the man with the dog saw us, he pulled the dog away and left....and the cat ran off. Luckily we found him under a car....catching him was a whole different issue. This cat was hurt and scared beyond belief. We finally got him and took him to the vet. After he was released from the vet, he went to live with my boyfriend (now husband) across the street. He remained under the bed for weeks and would not let anyone near him. If you approached him or touched him, he would attack you and fight for his life. Not a good situation. We were not sure we could handle him, but we had to try...he deserved a second chance at a good life. We knew if we didn't keep him, no one would....so we did. To this day, he is still defensive, somewhat aggressive and has trust issues. Who could blame him? However, it does make it difficult in certain situations. We have had him for 17 years and he still attacks when he becomes scared. It is simply a fear based reaction. He does try so hard to be gentle and loving...and he is, in his own special way. We love him and accept him for who he is.....We simply allow him to be. At first we wanted to name he Cuddles....but given his personality we changed his name to CK....the short version of Cuddles Kitty. He is a great addition to our family and has a special place in our hearts. He is our special needs kitty who really learned to be a part of our family with the help and support of his bridge kitty sister, Jazzi Sunshine Angel. Forums Motto: Power of the Paw to All!!

Wishing you a peaceful day full of self discovery and compassion towards others....
"What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us. And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen."
I wanted to wish you a very special Thanksgiving Day! I am celebrating and giving thanks with all my angel friends at the bridge. We are watching over all of you.
I know this has been a difficult year for many of us....and yet, we get through each day the best we can....we keep hope and realize that no matter what, we have each other for support…something to truly be thankful for.
Often we spend a majority of our time working so hard to overcome and deal with the bumps in the road of life that I like to get up on Thanksgiving morning and truly clear my mind allowing me to focus on only the good...the things I am thankful for. Although we try to do this on a daily basis, life can get in the way.
Interestingly enough, we have to also remember that some things which we consider to be "not so good" can still help us grow and become stronger....therefore, something to be thankful for. With most all experiences in life, we can find something to be thankful for...we simply have to look and sometimes harder than others.
Today, as I celebrate Thanksgiving, I reflect on all that I am thankful for in my life....and my heart is over-flowing with an abundance of thankfulness.
There is too much for me to simply put into words to express my thankfulness, but I want you to know....how thankful I am for Dogster/Catster, community spirit, acceptance, valuable friendships and each of you.
As I count my many blessings, you are on top of my list.
Our hearts are connected by paws!
Shy hugs of thanks, CK and family
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”
– Melody Beattie, bestselling author and journalist
It has been almost 3 months since I arrived at the bridge. I still miss my family and I know how much they miss me. I am so thankful Jazzi Sunshine Angel and I were able to guide Ivy Joy to lives and hearts.....what joy they will have together on earth.
My family really needs her love at this difficult time...since Sissy has joined us here.
I received my beautiful angel wings....thank you Smudge for making them for me. They are purrfect.
