I wish mommy a Happy Birthday. I am especially happy she is truly celebrating today. Last year's birthday was spent at the hospital. Although I love my mommy and would do almost anything to be with her....I don't really want her at the Rainbow Bridge. Not for a long time yet.
I wish you all a Happy Easter!!

While it is lonely to be away from my family on earth and be on the Rainbow Bridge...sometimes being on the Bridge has its advantages.
For example, I was able to witness Donny's proposing to Cloud - and their happy engagement at the LLS Valentine's Day party. I am really happy for them and wish them lots of fun in planning their wedding - as well as a lifetime of bliss and love. :)
Congratulations Donny and Cloud!

I've been following Halie's threads here and here. And then there's Molly, who also recent went to the Rainbow Bridge too.
These two kitties remind me especially of myself....we all passed away at age 4. Being adult cats, we aren't too tiny and vulnerable like a kitten would be....and yet, our life's potential was far too short. Of course, it feels like no kitty should ever have to go to the Bridge, I'd be happy to live forever, thank you very much. But the reality is that you think, now I'm all grown up, I can look forward to years and years of loving and attention and food and purring and cuddling and snuggling with mommy and/or daddy. And yet some of us are cut off from this in the prime of our life.
It just doesn't seem fair.
I don't begrudge anykitty that they lived a full life - I am really happy for them that they could. And of course it break my heart to know the tragedy of kittens that are so young that they don't even get to properly experience the world before they go to the Bridge.
I guess I just wish I could have experienced for a while longer the happily ever after that I was living. And I wish Halie and Molly could have too.

Dear lil sis Casey,
While I was alive, I'm afraid I did not think much of you. You invaded my space, my privacy, and more importantly you stole some of mommy's love away from me (you can take daddy's if you want...although he is mine! all mine!!!).
But today all I want to do is slobber you a BIG kiss and big hug for your touching entry. It was brief...but to the point.
I am proud of my lil sis. : )
Love, your big sis on the Bridge

One year ago yesterday, I had kidney failure and had to leave for the Rainbow Bridge. The kidney failure was due to lily poisoning. Mommy and daddy didn't know lilies were very bad for kitties, and they received flowers for their 2nd wedding anniversary.
So....NEVER EVER have lilies in the house. It's safer.
Anyways, I miss Mommy and Daddy so much. Esp Mommy, I had a deep connection with her, knew what she wanted, always listened to her, always stayed near her.
I know Mommy is very sad, and will forever miss me, no matter how many years have passed. But I hope she will remember our good times, even as she remembers the bad.

The Sibling Rivalry *Feline* Group has picked me to be the Sibling of the Week! What a wonderful honour! And for Emma to be so kind as to compliment me on helping out in the group....really it is nothing. We cats always like to fight and bicker among each other....but we like to share our experience and lend a listening ear to all those kitties (and their mommies and daddies) who are trying to figure out how to get all of us to get along. I think this is something every member of our group would like to do when they can...I'm just doing my bit!

We realize every day how much your name really suits you.
Because your mommy and daddy misses you every single moment.
We miss your little chirps to get our attention, quiet yet insistent for our love. We miss your loud meows when you've felt you've chirped enough and yet haven't got the attention that is your due.
We miss your loyalty, and your devotion - how you like to be near Mommy. How you like to watch her go about her business. How you come to the front door with us when we leave. How you sleep in the sofa right near that front door. How you wake up and dance at the front door when we come in, welcoming us.
We miss how you would come to our dining room table the minute we sit down for dinner...never to beg for food, but always to beg for attention.
And that you would jump and jump to make sure mommy and daddy noticed you and petted you. Right in the middle of dinner. Or conversation with friends.
We miss how you would come to watch TV with us. You would respect our cuddle time and instead settle on the armrest, the back of the couch, and be content. But made sure that you chirped once in a while so that mommy or daddy remembered to pet you.
We missed how you developed from a timid, scaredy-cat to such an open, affectionate kitty. A kitty that would come to welcome mommy's and daddy's friends, that would chirp to each of them to make sure they gave you the proper attention, that would rub yourself against their leg or their chair in affection, and then sit with them. And you also made sure that EVERYONE noticed you by sitting in the middle of the group, right in the middle of the living room rug.
Mommy misses how you would come to her in her sadness and cry with your little cries, empathizing with her, and comforting her by your presence and your affection.
Mommy misses how you would come to sleep with her in the night. How you would jump on the bed, look for a spot to knead and purr, and then circle about to get into the right position to throw yourself on mommy - literally. And then kept quiet and had a good nap, allowing your mommy to have her rest.
Most of all though, mommy and daddy misses your undying love and trust in mommy and daddy, when your history gave you no reason to love OR trust anyone.
Missy, we miss you so much!
This is a special Tail of Devotion
See All Tails of Devotion

I remember from time to time my mommy and daddy mentioning so often how they wish Casey and I could talk to them. How we could share our difficult lives before mommy and daddy came along to save us.
Over time, with tasty food, a warm home and many hugs and kisses, I don't remember much of what my previous life must have been. But there are some things I'll always remember.
I will always remember the dark days when I would run and hide. I never made any sounds, b/c I was always afraid I'd be "discovered". And locked up. Forever.
I will always remember the days when I had my four kittens. It is because I was protecting my kittens that I couldn't run off when the pound guys finally trapped me, a black scaredy-cat on a frigid Hallowe'en night.
I will always know a good home, in that a foster mom (even though she didn't write a very positive report about me) took me and my kittens in so that they could be looked after without fear and hunger.
I will always remember the shelter days, I hated them. So many strange cats, so many strangers who look at me all curled in the back of the cage, scared to death of the noise and unable to run away from all this noise.
I will always remember the days at the pet store, where the pet store didn't sell cats or dogs but chose instead to showcase those from the shelter for adoption. I remember the desperation of trying to get out of that cage. I knew my four kittens had already been adopted, and that as a black kitty, my chances were lower that I'd ever be adopted. And not being adopted meant being put down. Soon.
And I will always remember the day that a girl stopped by, on Christmas Eve. Because that was the day I lost my old life, and started anew.
Merry Christmas!
