Bio:
Boomer lived in Illinois and California before spending the last 10 years of her life in Hawaii. When she found out we were moving back to the Mainland, she died. She was 23.5 years old and is buried in Hawaii. The second picture to the left was taken on 2-19-96. I had worried since she was about 16 that I would make her live too long because letting her go would be so hard. She had been winding down for about a week, but was clearly not in pain. I had the vet coming the next day at 11 AM to put her to sleep, but she died in my arms at 2 AM. It turned out I had pretty good instincts. I had guessed the right day, but had the time wrong. She had her own way for 23.5 years, including the last day. She was the Queen! I still miss her.

I'm in a CONTEST!


October 10th 2008 9:27 am   [link to this entry]

Mom entered me in the Coolest Cat contest, because she says I was the Coolest Cat EVER! I don't know about that, but I think it will be fun, and a fun way to commemorate my 36th birthday!

I hope her heart doesn't get broken if I don't win. But I don't think it will, because she already knows how maximally cool I was, even if everyone else doesn't!

Here's my vote page: http://www.catster.com/show08/vote_pet.php?i=283082

Thank you for looking!


12 years at the Bridge


February 19th 2008 7:34 pm   [link to this entry]

Today is my 12 year Bridge anniversary. I can't believe I have been gone from Mom so long. Time really flies here at the Bridge, because there is so much fun stuff to do here.

I was always a very happy girl. Even after I had my thyroid out at age 17, I still was happy. After the operation, I started making a funny noise. The vet came to my house to listen to me. He listened for about one second and said: "I damaged her recurrent laryngeal nerve." My WHAT? And if it's recurrent, won't it come back?

So, the noise I was making was purring! I could only do it on the exhale, and it sounded WEIRD, even to me. But I was happy, so I had to purr!

The sound was so weird, that Mom recorded it. Tonight, she put the sound on my page. We're having a little trouble with the player, (It works best if you push 'play', then pull the button all the way to the end. When it resets to the beginning, it plays perfectly!) but it really is me, in a 15 year old recording.

Check me out! And thank you to all of you, and to Catster. I know you all love me, and that never would have happened without Catster.


If I'm at the Bridge, is it still my Birthday?


October 30th 2007 5:44 am   [link to this entry]

If I hadn't gone to the Bridge 11 years ago, I would be 35 years old today. 35!

It's a good thing kitties don't live that long. My poor body wouldn't have made it, although my spirit was young.

At the Bridge, I have a young boyfriend (WallyA) and I can see Mom play with Arnold. He needed a home, so I had to make room for him. I certainly couldn't have lived WITH him! Boys!

So I guess if Mom remembers, I AM 35. I may not live on earth, but I know I live on in Mom's heart.
