Arrival Story: I was looking for a successor for my first kitty, who died at age 23.5. I was looking at humane society kitties, but missed out on a few I liked. Then I went to a humane society foster home and saw Arnold. He was the first of his litter to leave his bio-Mom. EXACTLY the same way I found my first kitty 24 years earlier.
Bio: Arnold has lived in Florida and Georgia. He moves really well, as long as he has his Mommy! He goes to Church to be blessed with Holy Water every year on the feast of St. Francis of Assisi. He sits on my shoulder while they sprinkle him, and doesn't cry or try to get down! He loves going in his boat, but NOT in the water. And he is very proud of having been named in honor of a famous golfer (Arnold Palmer). He stands on the FLOOR, not the seat, in order to get a drink from the toilet. He's a BIG boy. He was a DAILY DIARY PICK, 8-2-2007, 4-9-2008, 7-23-2008, 7-28-2008, 9-21-2008, 10-13-2008, 11-5-2008, 1-15-2009, 10-5-2009 and 10-28-2009!!! AND he was DIARY OF THE DAY, (with his picture on the front page!) on 9-9-08!
Lives Remaining: 7 of 9

The Last Forum I Posted In: Yay me!!!!
MY DUDE PALS: Vincent was and is my first dude pal. I introduced him to his girl, Tigress. Moose is the funniest and sweetest guy I know. Simon just crossed to the Bridge, but will always be my bud no matter what. Rascal is always looking out for me, and is a great pal. Tooney has left for the Bridge, but he is a thoughtful and great friend. Handsome, too!
My Gal Pals: Scooter is a sweetheart and a special friend. Her leaving for the Bridge broke my heart. Sissy is a kind and precious Furt friend who loves her window sill. Elmo went to the Bridge at 23 years old. She was beautiful and thoughtful and kind. Elsa is a baroness of beauty and a princess of pulchritude. Annie is a dear Olde Furt who has health issues and my heart. And I love her brothers, too!
MY SPECIAL PAL: Calvin is my special pal and a constant source of laughter.
Last night my friend Merlin the Cat Wizard snuck away to the Bridge. He had been sick and in the hospital for several days, and had been suffering from diabetes for quite some time.
Today, Catster HQ made available the Brusselball rosette for us to give in honor of Merlin, the heart and soul of the Brusselball group. What a great tribute to the wonderful, magical Wizard!
Thank you, HQ, for being so thoughtful of our group and helping to ease our loss by making our favorite rosette available.
We miss you, Merlin. We send our love and hugs to your Mommy and Abby and Scooter. We love you all!
My best friend Calvin went away
One very long week ago today.
I knew that he was gonna go
But I still hate it, don’t ya know?
He was the best guy, handsome and funny
And since he left, my eyes are all runny.
I loved him the best, I always will.
I’ll love him forever, and further still.
The thing that I want to do the most
Is help his Mawmee who must be lost
Without his orange fur and bright green eyes.
We always miss something when someone dies.
But Calvin was special and I know why
It’s because his dear Mawmee would always try
To tell us with humor his ideas and thoughts
She was so good at it we all were caught
In his humor and kindness. And when he got sick
We all got together to try to do a trick.
We’d purr and we’d pray until he got well.
It worked for a while, then his blood count fell.
He left for the Bridge and broke our hearts,
We’ll remember him always, and that’s the art.
His Mawmee’s the artist, she crafted us all
Into Calvin lovers, a task not small.
So today I reach out to the Mom of my buddy.
To thank her for shaping me, like putty.
Into a Calvin lover. I’ve been one for a thousand days
And to tell you the truth, I will be one always.
I miss you, Calvin, buddy! Thank you for sharing him with us, Laura!
