Arrival Story:
I had recently lost the last of 2 cats I'd lived with for a long time. I'd moved to a new apt, recently disabled and living with severe depression. My best friend had been to the vet where she met this 8 month old stray who'd been brought in, given shots, tests and been fixed and was waiting to be adopted. I only went in to meet him, had no intention of adopting as I was unsure I could handle the responsibility. At the time, he was being called Opie. Well, I talked to him then was paying attention to a tiny kitten when he meowed. When I turned and looked at him in his cage, he'd stretched out full length and was reaching his (then) little hands out to me through the bars. That was it! He just knew there was a total sucker and someone who'd spoil him rotten. Which he of course deserves.

Bio:
Suleiman is the king of his castle, ruler of his domain. He decreed that I shall have no other cats, as there are no other cats. Only those things that my roomie has. He's cranky, cantankerous, stubborn and opinionated. He's also saved my life twice. He's very smart and clever. He has me wound around his little kitty pinkie and he knows it. He doesn't like most people, will normally hide out if there's anyone but me and my roomie ... but he does adore being worshipped for the magnificat he is! When confronted with something he doesn't like, he lets his opinion be known, usually by either blowing a sharp puff of air through his nose or looking at you like you must be insane and going "tah". Seriously! Unfortunately, my precious love, my best friend, confidant, companion and the most wonderful kitty in the world has been called home by the great cat Mother Bast on May 8, 2010. No one knows what was wrong with him, unfortunately. But it was time. I will love him always. My heart goes with him. I just wish I could go with him. That way we'd be together forever.

It's Strange but Wonderful Here

Once again, and I don't know how much longer I will be able to do this and have her hear me, I am whispering in my mommy's ear and asking her to write this.

I crossed the Bridge on Saturday. It was a very sad day but a peaceful one for me.

I've been trying to stay with my mommy, but I also know that I need to kind of step away and immerse myself in my new home, my new friends who are so awesome and many who said they used to come here with their people!

It's so beautiful here. I can be outside which I never wanted to be before, it was a hard, noisy, dirty, scary place to be. Here though, it's just warm enough, the sun shines on us, there's a slight breeze, there's wonderful soft grass and even patches of catnip and catmint!

There's fluffly, cuddly chairs too, I really like them. Oh and people! Well the people my mommy knew who she loved and who loved her and love kitties. (I still can't believe I'm not the only cat in the world - this is going to take a lot of getting used to!) Those people are of course always ready with a lap and a nice petting and talking to me. I still love to be talked to and told how handsome and wonderful I am, because I am! I am still the Magnificat.

I will always be with mommy, just not in the same way. I wish she could stop crying, that makes me sad. I wish she knew how amazing I feel and look and how marvelous this place is! Then maybe she would cry from jealousy and not sadness?

Don't worry mommy, I will always love you too. And I'll always miss you, no matter how well I'm being treated. You are the best at spoiling me and treating me as I fully deserve. And one day, before you know it, we will be together again. I know I can't wait for that. Getting to cuddle with you, talk to you, play with you, sleep with you - yes we do at least nap here laying in the sun or under a shady tree and the sun does set so we can have a nice long sleep if we want one.

I know you miss me mommy and I know you love me and I know you always will. I know you'll never, ever forget me. How could you?! I won't either, I promise. I love you mommy and thank you for helping me to not hurt and be sick anymore. That was a really good thing you did, even though I know you wanted me to stay with you. I wanted to stay with you! I just couldn't anymore.

When you finally get yourself here, you'll see and understand. And guess what, you won't be hurting or disabled anymore either! And we'll be a family again ... forever >^..^<

Sending my mommy Love, cuddles and purrs from the other side of the Rainbow Bridge,

Suleiman the Magnificat

 

Today was the day I crossed the Rainbow Bridge

I'm whispering in mommy's ear asking her to write this.

I have been sick for over a month and just wasn't getting better. It's not because mommy didn't try, the doctors didn't know what was wrong with me.

But Wednesday night I started feeling really awful icky. Thursday I only ate a little wet food. Friday I tried to eat a little, but I ended up throwing it up and started throwing up blood again. And it was really, really hard to breathe.

So today mommy, Aunt Karen and Aunt Susan went with me to VHUP. They all said that it was the best place, that the people were really nice and caring. They put a needle in my arm, called it an IV. Whatever, it hurt when the did that!

Then they brought me back in a room where my mommy and aunts were. They talked to me a lot, mommy especially. And she was crying which made me very unhappy. I never know what to do when mommy cries.

Then this nice lady doctor came in and she gave me some medicine she told me would help me relax. And it did! I actually fell asleep and it felt so good. Nothing inside was hurting, I didn't have to think about how hard it was to breathe and I just went with how great this felt.

I could kind of hear mommy talking like she was far away, but I understood what she was saying. And I could feel her petting and kissing me. That was very nice (don't tell her, she knows I normally don't like that mushy stuff).

Then the lady doctor came back in with this round thing and she took my hands, one at a time, and pressed them into it. She said it was some kind of clay? that would after being baked have my hand (she said paw, tah!) prints on it forever. And she stamped my whole name on it. Aunt Karen said she would bake it for mommy since mommy doesn't have an oven.

The lady doctor took that away, left for a few minutes and then came back in. She had another needle and said this one would help me sleep peacefully and help me cross the Rainbow Bridge. There wasn't anything I could do or say about it because the first shot had me knocked out.

So, here I am! This place is strange, there are so many cats and even people here. I never knew about other cats, I always thought and knew I was the ONLY cat in the world. But they seem nice and they're being friendly and helpful. And the people are being super nice.

I just wish my mommy could be here with me. I really miss her. And I know she misses me. I can look down and see her and she's sitting with my second favorite blanket (the first favorite went with me of course) and my little bag of catnip (do people like catnip?) and she just starts crying asking where I am, why did I have to leave her, why couldn't she come with me and how much she already misses me.

I am special, I am one of a kind. I'm special enough that mommy sang a song for me and with my help of course, picked out pictures and made a slideshow and put it on singsnap. The song is called Tears in Heaven, though I'm not crying yet. I feel so good, better than I have in some time! But I know she is very very sad and she is crying. Probably once I get used to things and used to feeling good, whole and healthy I might cry because I already DO miss her too.

If you want to hear and see the song, you can just go here, it's really safe, promise!

I'm happy that mommy did this, because it shows me how much she loves me and because it has so many pictures of me.

Yes, I have crossed the Rainbow Bridge. Yes, I still have to get used to this place and everyone here. And yes, I have to get used to not being with my mommy - at least for now. One of the others told me that someday she will join me! Won't that be the absolute best?

My mommy made a new picture of ME tonight and she added it to the Valentines Stroll. At my command, of course. Tah! I asked her to please put the picture on my page and to put it at the top so I could wish all of you a very Happy Valentines Day.

Mommy has started calling me her little Cupid, eww. She gets so mushy sometimes.
