Hello my friends.

The time for my journey to the Rainbow Bridge has arrived. I have put up a brave fight. But I am tired and I don’t have much fight left in me.
I have had a wonderful life with my family and don’t want to leave. But I don’t want to feel bad anymore. I love to sleep, but not because I don’t like being awake.

I will be so happy to see my little Wriggley and so many of my angel friends.

This has been so difficult for my Mom and Dad. So many of our Catster family have reached out to my Mom and she is very grateful as am I. Thank you for your sweet words and thoughtfulness. Thank you Queen Tallulah for being with me during these last few weeks. I can't wait to meet you in person.

Well, off to get my bags ready. I hear those ladies at the Bridge dress up alot. I have to look my best.

Many purrs of love

Stripey

Mom here

Stripey purred till the end. She was a sweet gentle soul that will be missed terribly. She had one of the loudest purrs I have ever heard. So loud sometimes it would keep us up at night. As timid as she was, she loved to snuggle up to me on the sofa. She would sit with you for hours and knead and purr. She loved having her head scratched and loved a good brushing.

We tried to make her last weeks as comfortable as possible. We hope that we did.

She is now with her Wriggley and she can snuggle with her as she did with Nonny for 13 years. Not seeing the sisters together again will be hard for our family. Hopefully, I can find more photos of them sleeping and hanging out together.

She was destined to be a stray that dodged cars, snow storms, and other dangers. But instead she became a deserving house kitty that loved to sleep on beds and enjoy the comforts of living inside. She loved to look out the window. But never wanted any part of going outside after we brought her in.

She didn't eat today and we knew she was ready. She passed away in my arms and purred till her last breath. She truly passed peacefully and I felt her leave us for a better place. Thank you to Ocean State Veterinary Hospital for their compassion and kindness. Sweet Dipey, Rest In Peace our little liar. Mommy and Daddy loves you and will miss you

Thank you to our Catster friends for their support during these last weeks. You helped me through this difficult time. I can't say thank you enough.

Taking a break for a few days from Catster. If we miss anyone's special days, we are sorry.

We're so sad for you and wish there was something we could do to take the pain away. I promise you that I also met Stripey here at the bridge and she's a sweet girl, everyone already loves her. Please know that my mommy is here for you if you want to talk or just need a cyber hug. Love you guys!

We send our hugs and purrs at this sad, sad time. Someday, when you are looking at those photos of Stripey they will bring smiles, not tears. She had a wonderful life with your family.
Hugs, Skylar and family
