Arrival Story: Where my Daddy use to work in Tucson, the landscapers found a litter of kittens outside with no mother. The employees in his department decided to give us homes. My Daddy picked me because I was the most scared. I was in the corner of the box by myself. I was so young I had to be fed with a bottle. I really was the baby of the family.

Bio: I was born in Tucson, AZ. I moved with my Mommy and Daddy to Irvine, CA in 2001. My human brother & his boyfriend still live in AZ and have 3 catsters & 2 dogsters of their own. My very favorite color is PINK. I truly am a Mommy's Girl. I don't think I could have loved Mommy any more than I did and I knew she loved me just as much.
I made my journey to the Rainbow Bridge on 2/06/10. I will miss Daddy, Mommy, Eric, Paul and all my Catster Friends.

Very sweet and thoughtful of all of you. Rocky Ann was a very lucky girl to have lived so many years and to be loved by so many of you on Catster.
We can't thank you enough for the outpouring of love during this sad time. You have really given us so much comfort. We want to thank you for all the comments, for all the giftees, all the pictures you have up on your pages of Rocky Ann, all the beautiful diary entries that were written about RA, all the pawmails, graphics, purrs, prayers and love. Thank you to Skeezix the Cat for the wonderful farewell he gave to Rocky Ann in The Cat's Meow Blog. Thank you to all the Hello Kitty Fans, Kneaders, Detectives of the Samoa Detective Agency, Pets for Obama, Cheeseheads and Super Strollers for your support and friendship. Most of all thank you to the people at Catster HQ who gave us this site to all come together. Thru Catster, Rocky Ann's spirit lives on.
Thank you for the memories. You've all touched our hearts in such a big way, not only this past weekend but the whole time that Rocky Ann belonged to Catster.
Love,
Judy and Terry

Notes for Terry & I to remember as we reread this diary in the future:
Rocky Ann was always a Mommy's Girl but the last few months, she was really friendly with Daddy. At the end she was both a Mommy's Girl and a Daddy's Girl. That made Terry so happy.
After we called the Pet Ambulance Service (they give you a couple of hours before they come out) and were laying on the livingroom floor with RA, it started raining out. Every once in awhile the sun would pop out brightly in between the clouds. We knew for sure there was a rainbow nearby. We didn't want to take the time to leave her side to look. We just knew.
We had Rocky Ann's 2 Hello Kitty Ty Angel Beanie Babies sitting in front of her blanket. The ambulance owner came into our house and met Rocky Ann and he said "And there's Hello Kitty!". We knew she was in good hands. We also thought it was nice that she had a female Vet help her make her journey.
Rocky Ann was all about drama. She was the Drama Queen. Her body left us in an ambulance on a rainy night. Seemed fitting for her.
I had the coolest Sanrio Hello Kitty Pet House ordered for her. I ordered it last week as I knew she wasn't going to make it to her April 7th Birthday. It was going to be an early birthday present. It was shipping out from England and the shipping was about as much as the house. I knew she would have loved it. The company was so nice and cancelled the order for me this morning.
We helped Rocky Ann take her journey to the Rainbow Bridge tonite. We wanted to give her that last gift because we loved her so so much.
Terry and I spent all late afternoon and early evening laying on the floor in the livingroom with Rocky Ann. She has never been one that liked to be held. So she was in a nest of pink Hello Kitty blankets. We were each laying on a side of her, petting and talking to her. We gave her lots of 'Eric Kisses'. She knew that Eric and Paul loved her so much too. We would warm up little blankets in the dryer to put over her to keep her extra warm. We knew in our hearts that it was time to let her go.
We had contacted Animal Ambulance Inc and they do home pet euthanasia. The owner and a Vet actually showed up in an ambulance. Terry and I were so happy we called them. They were both so sweet and were so careful with Rocky Ann. It was such a peaceful way for her to go. We wrapped her in a plush pink blanket and the Vet carried her to the ambulance like a little baby.
The tears are going to flow for awhile. Our house will never be the same. A piece of us left tonite. But we knew this is what we had to do for our little baby girl.
Maybe whenever you see Hello Kitty, a pet in a stroller or even the color pink...you will think of Rocky Ann.
I want to thank all of you for all the love and friendship you've given us thru the almost 4 years we've been on Catster.
