CeeCee's Cat Candy

Butterfly Cats, Sending Mommy some warm, and Pawprints on- Hearts

So hi everyone,
This is CeeCee. Did anyone ever tell you that here at the Bridge we're Butterfly Cats when we choose to be? We have soft and silky angel wings, true. But we can sit by the Bridge Arch and wish Butterflies to you...to flutter around and bring magick!

Today I'm enjoying the warm up here with my Guardian Alex, and stretching out to sun with Boxie Brown. Both have taken a little time off from their vast duties to celebrate a gorgeous day we've sent our folks. Jack the large Fluffy cat came up the other day...he was mourning his person but he's doing so much better now...he had a purpose, of course, becuase he's going to reform how we animals fly on planes in cargo.

Yes, I have found my 'lady' and family up here....and bounded around with them and love them....there is nothing like a warm lap up here, and purrs and tuna and lots of soft warm breezes.

Yet, I wanted to send my 'foster mom' and 'foster dad' who became my lion hearted and tiger spirited pawrents for real...I wanted to send them some lovely warm weather and lots of love and purrs. I need to do that, because I know for them, it's been tough.

I know when Mommy went to the vet yesterday it was very hard for her to hear they hadn't sent my little mortal body out yet. I mean, the lady has been through too much pain, and this she didn't need. So when I watched over her last night I took away the headache that she's had for 2 days, and reached out to give her some sunshine and warm weather. We can do that up here, you know! We can bring sunshine and love and lots of light!

And I did.

And I know when Mommy looked at the little present like packages last night....with Oscar's pawprints and my pawprints in them....that she started to cry....and she was sad, remembering us. But ah, Mommy, can you know the wonder that I can know? That you were there for me, that you and Daddy fought so hard for me, that the fight wasn't lost, my dear Mommy, but simply conceded as I turned and saw Alex, wings spread out with crystals and healing energys surrounding me...and others...with such love...and it was time, Mommy. It was time. And even as I pressed my little pawprints onto your heart...well, Mommy, my mommy...you pressed your handprint onto mine...and our hearts belong to each other...and daddy's too.
And so, Mommy...please know...no matter how sad you are...that I'm well, and strong, and that as Oscar bounds by with some other funny and fresh boycats, and I hear Miss Charlotte whisper 'ah, but they bound back into time, to those who love them, eventually...' I turn and with a slow blink that bespeaks cat love...and I say 'yes....always'. For love will never cease when a heart is true.

love, with butterfly kisses,

A glimpse of answers and angels do show up sometimes, don't- they?

Dear Everyone,
This is Cee Cee's mom.
I wanted to share something that happened yesterday.
We were invited to a barbecue at the Rescue's Freeport office, which was lovely. It was to thank the volunteers and everyone who helped to evacuate during the hurricane.

When there, we met a young woman vet who had seen Cee Cee when she was at Howard Beach Animal Clinic.

She was a tall young lady, and kindness eminated from her. She said how sorry she was to hear about CeeCee. She hadn't known any of what had happened. She doesn't work every day, and she had not known of what happened with Cee Cee til she was told.

She was able to tell us that Cee Cee, during her time there, had her feeding tube kink. Apparently this caused problems. It might have been why it was removed.

She also was able to share a few pictures, a couple of them of Cee Cee eating some ham from her sandwich.

She didn't know alot-she did tell us that she thought that Cee Cee had been beginning to respond, but there were problems with the feeding tube.

I told her I was still very very upset, as NO ONE AT ANY TIME TOLD US THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE TUBE AT ALL!!!!

We didn't want to make her uncomfortable...she was kind, and obviously cared about Cee Cee. Yet...why didn't she say or do something? I understand having to pay back school loans and all...but we feel so upset, still.

But the pictures were nice to see...and she was a nice person.

But maybe it explained somehow why that bad vet took out the feeding tube.

Somehow it bought the grief and the anger back. I just feel so furious...why didn't someone do something?

I know, I know, she's at Rainbow Bridge and all. But that doesn't make it feel better for us.

I only hope that someday we can make sure this never happens to another animal or their people.

Sorry to vent,
Cee Cee's mom

Cee Cee crosses to Rainbow Bridge

Hi everyone,
Just to let everyone know, I am now at Rainbow Bridge. I know that mommy and daddy are sad. I am sad to leave them, but it was time. I know that it's difficult for them to understand, but I was ready to go. There were a few kitties who had decided that it was just too hard to remain in our fur forms here.
A lovely few cats came to take us...one of them was Alex. She told me not to be afraid, and told me that you miss your people, but that Rainbow Bridge is lovely, and when I'm up to it, I willl return to my people and meow.

I wanted to say thank you to the wonderful vets who loved me, little Dr. Miglirino, who was so kind. Dr.Paloni, who is so wise and fought so hard for me, and the staff who loved me and made me a nice bed and took such excellent care of me. If love could have kept me here, then they would have done so by sheer will and skill alone.

I want to thank Auntie Lisa and Alex, I want to thank my Kaci Sunshine and her mom for their kindness, and indeed, all of you.

Please, everyone, furred and their family and friends, please know that we here are fine, and I'm getting well again. Miss Mittens just came and said hello, and I'm going to go off with her later and see some of this lovely place. But for now, I'm sitting here, under a lovely shade tree, and sharing a cup of comfort with my wonderful Alex, who remains my Guardian Angel.

Please too, good people, if you have a feeling that a vet is not doing right by your cat, do get another vet. I know that my wonderful Dr. P and Dr. M and the whole staff of Vet Care Unlimited were ANGELS and perhaps things would have been so different if they had gotten my case first. But...one must not cry over spilled milk, and it was my time...and yes, I will return.

lots of love to all,
I love you now and always,
Cee Cee Ryder Knowles
