Daily Diary Pick, October 29, 2012

I am so honored up here at the sunny and breezy Rainbow Bridge, to see I’m one of the Diary Picks chosen today when I wrote about my anniversary of coming up here.

THANK YOU my friends, for rosettes and pawmails and comments. I love the photo made by Rory and Family just for this occasion!

May all of you on the East coast of the USA be kept safe right now, as I can see Hurricane Sandy is being quite rough. Even at my home in far-away Windsor I see strong winds, dark clouds and rainy weather affecting the city. I think the hurricane’s effects are very large across half of the country.

I hope you can all make your Jack-o-lanterns without any windy and rainy weather. If not, then at least the winds are going to blow the ghosts and goblins far from your homes!

We’re praying you’re all kept safe.

Rainbow Bridge Anniversary, Oct. 24, 2012

My dad knew this anniversary date was coming. He told a friend often, that on October 24 it's the day I had to go to the Bridge back in 2006. I know my Dad has been thinking of me a lot lately; but he does that practically every day anyway.

He just got a little bit sad when he received a beautiful photo of me today from Lynzee for my Bridge anniversary. Just seeing my face up close in such a pretty picture made him wish I could come back down to earth for a little visit with him. Thank you Lynzee and family, we all love the photo.

Thanks to my Catster friends for rosettes and pawmails and sweet photo attachments. I will try to press my Dad's hands to the keyboard to send out thanks. If I can do that, he would like to feel my soft fur on his hands again anyway.

I truly will be thought of in loving memory.

Thanks again!

Thanks For the Diary Pick, Friday, July 27, 2012!

Thank you ALL very much for visiting me and Thanks to Catster for choosing me as one of the Diary Picks - Friday, July 27, 2012!

Yesterday Dad was again outside and he looked to the kitchen window and there was Elsa watching him and he again thought she looks like I did when I was younger. I think Elsa misses him so much when he goes outside, that she has to sit in the window and be sure he’s within eye-distance! I notice when he’s at the computer, she sits in her little box on his desk while he works! When he goes to bed, she’s the first one to join him and lies down beside him! She loves him :o)

Elsa is a long-haired kitty like I was, but she did not gain weight the way I did. My weight gain could be (if anyone knows about this, let me know) because I took depo-medrol pills for my flea allergy; I guess that causes weight gain. But I’m not sure whether I was a big cat because of those pills or because I was naturally going to be a big kitty.

Thank you for the special paw mails for Friday’s Diary Pick, from ANGEL BUDDIE..ALWAYS LOVED, Smiley Cassanova and Manytoes!

Merci Beaucoup - Diary of the DAY - Thurs., July 26, 2012

I don't think I am French but speaking French sometimes sounds so sophisticated and glamorous! Merci Beaucoup and thank you very much for the honor of being Diary of the DAY, yesterday, July 26!

Maybe only poodles are French, n'est ce pas? Isn't that so?

Thank you my Catster friends for Special Stars and Rosettes you have given me, to adorn my page, and for comments and pawmails.

Merci to Lynzee, Tundra, Rory & Manytoes and also We Bees Siamese (Pipo & Minko) for making me photos for my Diary of the Day!

Other Diary Picks for July 26, honored like I was are:

Socki - (Catster #1259703)- Go see how pretty and orange she is, she just joined Catster last Saturday; she's from England, not France! So I should stop trying to speak French! Socki lives with Charlie, a 12 year old girl who has an identical twin sister named Emily! Charlie got Socki only last April, so she's recently now been given her Forever Home. They are so new to Catster they have only 1 friend; so I'm going to ask pretty Socki to be a friend - I hope you will too.
and
Scooter - (Catster #287719) a handsome Ragdoll, who wrote about Ashlynne and Beepers' Mom visiting them. One Catster Mom visits another!
and
Sugar - (Catster #916917) a pretty Tortoiseshell kitty who was taken to the Bridge recently on July 17 at the age of about 14. She's gone to join her pretty Tortie sister Zip at the Bridge.
and
Mikey - (Catster #1217778) a handsome orange & white boy in the United Kingdom who just had his first anniversary of his Gotcha Day on July 25.

My Dad's Mom's birthday was July 25 too (she was my Grandma-Human but she passed away in May 2011) so it was very nice for me to be Catster Diary of the Day July 26 for my Diary of July 25, her birth-date.

Thanks once again to all of you for your gifts and comments!

Thanks to These Catster Friends!

To my Catster friends, thanks for your best wishes for my Birthday & Gotcha Day on July 19, 2012. You made my special day a great celebration.

My last diary mentioned how my Dad chose Elsa because he felt she looked like me so I put on a new picture of she and I together due to the magic of Photoshop and I think we look a little alike, when I was younger!

Also since my Gotcha Day was also July 19 back in 1993, we put on my Catster page my very first photo my Dad took of me when he got me home. This was after the Vet cleaned me up from the flea bites and from the little care I was given at my previous home.

I don’t look that good in the photo so you can imagine how bad I looked before Dad got me. I looked so pitiful at my previous owner’s house that it made Dad find out from the owners that if they did not want me, he would take me! And he GOT me! He got me July 19, 1993 and took me right to the Vet for care, then was able to bring me to his house July 21, 1993 which is the date of this photo.

Later I bloomed into a fluffy kitty! When Dad first got me he had no idea at all that I would turn out to be a fluffy cat.

Thank you for the special paw mails from Jezebel and Elsa (Elsa’s brother Pumpkin Latte recently had a one year birthday!).

Thank you Lynzee, Tundra, Rory & Manytoes and also We Bees Siamese (Pipo & Minko) for making me photos!

My Birthday and Gotcha Day, July 19, 2012

Wow, my Dad got me 19 years ago today, on the 19th!

And with my birthday being guessed as being born in 1991 I would have been 21 today; too old for a kitty on average, but there are 21 year old kitties who are very special! Up here at the Bridge I’m much younger than that now.

Last night when Dad was outside he saw Elsa looking out the window at him. He thought it sure looked like it was me looking out at him, in my younger days. He had chosen Elsa from the Humane Society because she looked a bit like me. Then as I grew older, I gained weight and got fluffier and later on my ears crinkled and it seems I didn’t look quite the same as I did when I was younger, which maybe you can notice in the photos on my Catster page.

Thank you all for your nice comments, pawmails and gifts and I got a nice photo for this special day from Lynzee, Tundra, Rory & Mantoes! I’ll add that to my Catster page and there is a picture of me and my sister Serena who joined me at the Bridge last year which I’m going to add too. She and I have shining eyes, but it shows how she used to stretch out when lying on the floor; so CUTE!

Also I will add a photo of me on some pillows that is cropped to zoom in on me, and a pic where I look like I have such a sad face, and one where my ears look curled up. The ears got that way when a hematoma in each ear dried up and left the ears crinkled. Dad better get my prettier pictures scanned so they can be on my Catster page!

I have to now go glamorize myself because the angels prepared a big party for me at the Angel Inn. Platelicker let me know about this. His Angel family, Angel Raincloud and Angel Cartman, told him that this is what is planned! I think I’ll look just gorgeous in my white fur jacket!

Thanks to all of you again!

I Met Angels October 24, 2006, Near Hallowe'en

Thanks kitties, for your pawmails, gifties, comments and a photo made by Manytoes & Family and a photo made by We Bees Siamese! Today is the anniversary of my Bridge day which happened October 24, 2006. Dad does think of me a lot, especially since he can see my photos on Catster many times.

At my end of the Rainbow Bridge we are preparing for Hallowe’en. Here there are only good witches. They are dressed all in white and have purrfect angelic faces. They don’t use a broom to go anywhere; they fly with angelic wings. And they spread only good and happiness to us.

I’ve been watching my Dad struggling with keeping up with Catster. It seems the processor on his computer is outdated so he sits and sits a long time waiting to move from one Catster kitty to the next and he has to give up because it takes too long. And he had company for a week and there was not much time to visit Catster. But he holds the cursor of the mouse to each kitty’s name who is a Diary Pick or has a Birthday, Gotcha Day or Rainbow Bridge day, and he writes down their Catster number so that one day he can go congratulate them. It’s faster at his office to check out Catster, but he is too overwhelmed at work to squeeze in very much Catster time. Sometimes he will stay a bit after work. He is hoping to catch up to all kitties who had a special day lately.

Thanks for these pretty Gifties from:

A Rainbow from Samsara, Colette, (Angel) Marrakech, (Angel) Misha, (Angel) Cappuccino, and (Angel)B.A.
A Red Heart from Milo, Smokey Joe, Mallee, Timmy, Ziggy, and Sam.
A Rainbow from Da Tabbies O Trout Towne.
A Rainbow from Bella, Calli, Orange Ruffy, Smokie-boo, Natalie the Nat Cat, Princess Antonia Llwellyn of K, Louie The Lover Angel Guide, Cee Cee Ryder Knowles and CK Angel R. Knowles.
A Rainbow from Teebo, Callie and Rose.
A Rainbow from Kiki, Jack and Kosuteh.
The Star of An Angel from the Family of Felix & Critter.

Thank you all so Very Much! Happy Hallowe’en too!

Love Samantha, xo

Dad Was Determined That I have a Gotcha Day (& Birthday)!

Dad just had to adopt me, and save me; he couldn't get my eyes out of his mind. As I described in my Arrival Story, Dad got me July 19, 1993 and decided July 19, 1991 would be my Birthday with that 19th date being the day my happier life really began.

And today is July 19! Thanks for all your gifties and pawmails and photos (one is of beautiful pink roses!) in celebration of my Birthday and my Gotcha Day today! I'm very touched by your furriendship.

I added three pictures to my page: one that Tundra and Family made me to celebrate today! Another of Felix and I enjoying the day on Pillow Clouds at The Bridge! And the other of me giving Tabatha a few words today.

Thanks again to all of you; you all have very kind hearts.

Love Samantha xo

My Sister

I put a new picture on my page today. It's very pretty and was made by Rory and Family and I love the colors! It shows me sitting all alone on the shelf.

However, I'm not really alone here at the Bridge. My sister, Serena, joined me at the Bridge on June 13, 2011.

When kitten Serena joined our house in August 1994 I had been with my Dad and with Felix for only one year. As Serena grew, I always watched out for her in a motherly way. This was very noticeable to my Dad.

But, Felix was another story; he sometimes would attack me and I accepted it! I'd lie down and growl right back at him. I don't know why I didn't run away, I just stayed there; oh we made the most horrible loud noises! But he did not attack me often; I think it was a male kitty vs female kitty thing.

So I'm very motherly again to my little baby sister Serena now, way up here in kitty Heaven. Felix is nice up here too; and Georgina's here though I never grew up with him, but we look at old home movies of us, at the Rainbow Movie Theatre, and we laugh - and we cry.

And Serena looks all young and smooth again, like she did years ago. We're just going to be sisters together again up here, in a motherly-daughter kind of way. I'm glad I can hold her once again.

Rainbow Easter Sunday

Tundra made me a pretty Easter photo that makes me look like I'm in an Easter Basket - what a smart idea! I Love IT!

Here at the Rainbow Bridge most of us take part in the Rainbow Easter Parade! We dress up in such glamourous gowns and wear gorgeous hats.

I bet you all know who is designing our Easter Parade hats this year - it will be Hazel Lucy!

We are all going to be the grandest kitties in the Rainbow Easter Parade!
