Arrival Story:
Calvin was my aunt's beloved cat. When she passed away, her evil husband took all 4 of her cats to the Humane Society the day after the funeral. I "bought" all 4 of them back - found homes for 3 and kept him! He is a great cat, and I know why she loved him so much. Calvin made his journey to the bridge on October 26th at 11:35 a.m. after a six week battle with stomach cancer. Rest in peace, sweet angel. We will love and miss your precious face. July 19, 1991 - October 26, 2009

Bio:
Calvin is the most affectionate cat I've ever been around. He would spend all day in your lap if he could! He loves to snuggle at night and capture any body heat he can. We had to buy a king-sized bed because of Calvin. Clocks are not needed in our house since we got Calvin. He is the morning alarm clock. And you know if he is sitting in the kitchen by the refrigerator, it must be 3:30 p.m. With Calvin, you can't just give a spontaneous treat because then he will expect it every day at the same time! Calvin also sleeps in the cutest positions. His mommy says, "you can't get any cuter than that" about the way he sleeps! For an older cat he is always ready for fun, and he has quite an adventureous spirit.

My Pawsome Vet!

Mawmee got a card in the mail today. The front of the card has a pretty rainbow with the Rainbow Bridge story.

Here is what the inside of the card said:

Dear Strickland Family:

The Doctors and Staff of Crestwood Veterinary Hospital wish to express their heartfelt sympathy with your recent loss of Calvin. Losing a special friend is always difficult because of the close bond we share with them. Comfort can be found in the special memories they gave us that will last eternally.

To honor Calvin's memory, the Doctors and Staff of Crestwood Veterinary Hospital have made a monetary donation to the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Foundation. This donation helps support our work to improve the lives of animals and people through education.

The Kentucky Veterinary Medical Foundation



Isn't that way cool? I'm sure my vet lady and my favorite vet tech, Sarah, were chillaxin in the break room one day and started talking about me. They decided I was so pawsome that they wanted to take money from the gals at the front desk and donate it to this big foundation.

I wonder if there is a brick with my name on it or something? There is probably a big statue in the halls of the Kentucky Veterinary Medical Foundation building for everyone to see.

I wonder if they want one of my paintings to hang in the entryway? Dang, I think I'm more famous now that I'm up here at the bridge! Thanks to the vets and staff at my vet office for honoring me in such a nice way!


Calvin Collar Giveaway!

Hey cats, if you don't own a Calvin Collar, head over to The Cat's Meow blog and leave a comment for a chance to win one of my special Valentine collars!

Calvin Collars were started after I made my journey to the bridge. For every collar sold in The Cat in the Clover Etsy Shop, $1 is put aside. When $25 is reached, a cat is sponsored at Best Friends Animal Society.

In 2009, two cats were sponsored, and we hope to sponsor a bunch of kitties in 2010. We're pretty close to sponsoring our first one this year.

Thanks to all the cats who have their very own collar, and be sure to tag any pictures of you wearing a collar with:

Calvin Collar


That way I can see all of you in one place, and you'll even be featured over at The Cat in the Clover blog. Be sure to stop by there and see all your pawsome friends!

Thanks to The Cat's Meow blog for having our items in the Valentine Giveaway!


The Bridge's Newest Angel Pal


February 2nd 2010 12:18 pm
[ Leave A Comment | 6 people already have ]

As you know, when I was on earth, I used to pick a Pal of the Week and write about that pal in my diary.

Then when I journeyed to the bridge, I decided to change that a little and call it my Angel Pal of the Week. Unfortunatly, I haven't been very good about choosing an angel pal and writing about them. I think the main reason for that is that my earthly assistant is still very sad about me being up here at the bridge, and writing about my angel pals makes her cry.

So, until the big cry baby can pull it together, I'm going to do something a little different.

I now have on my page The Bridge's Newest Angel Pal. This will be the badge of a kitty pal of mine who has just journeyed to the bridge. Since I'm on the Welcome Committee, I get to see these cats first.

I sure was surprised when Alfie came skipping through the gate last week. Dang, he was way too young to come up here, but I know his siblings are glad to see him again.

So, until the rainbow flashes to indicate another pal is journeying to the bridge, I will keep the newest angel's badge on my page.

Sending purrs to your family, Alfie . . . . . . . . .
