Grover's Point of View

Wishing Simba a safe journey

It is with great sadness that I must write this diary entry. One of my very dear friends will be leaving for the bridge tomorrow. Simba has brought such joy to so many. I know her mom is completely heartbroken. I know this because my heart is breaking right now thinking of losing my dear friend and knowing that her mom will be sad.

I was trying to think back to when I first met Simba and I just can not remember that day. It seems to me as if she was always there. I just thought it would be that way forever. Or maybe I just hope it would.

I know I was always thrilled when I would get an email saying I had a rosette from Simba. I knew it would be the highlight of my day that day. Her rosettes were always funny. They always got a big laugh from me. Even when I would be away from Catster for a long time. Simba never forgot me. I will always be greatful for her friendship.

Simba, thank you for allowing me to share in your wonderful life.
May you find great peace at the bridge and know that you are loved by so many. You will never be forgotten. You will live long after you are gone. You are in all our hearts. Nothing will change that. We love you sweet Simba.

Until we meet again.
Your loving friend,
Grover

My Birthday came early!!

I think I had the best day ever today! There was a little mix up and it was posted in several groups that my birthday was today. Well, technically my birthday is Saturday.
But, I sure did have a good birthday today. I have not been able to be on Caster much lately and was afraid everyone had given up on me. I had been fussing at mom to stop working so much and help me get on the computer more often. Then today mom told me about all the posts in my groups that were about me and I got so excited. I had to get her to type a message for me to send to all my groups to let them know it really wasn’t my birthday and to let everyone know how much I appreciated them thinking of me. Now, I know my friends haven’t forgotten about me and I get to celebrate my birthday for three days (as Rocky Ann pointed out). This is the kind of birthday I like, as long as I don’t have to add two more years to my age, I am all for this.

I already have so many friends to thank. Thanks to all the cats that posted Happy Birthday wishes in my groups.
And Just look at all the nice gifts that were left on my page:

A nice Happy Birthday pmail from Pooters
A heart rosette from Samoa, Calvin, Violet, Gleek, Spunky, Sugar and Autumn
A bird rosette from Mercy, Oly, Noah, Petrie, Oliver, Shamus, Rico, Petals and Alexis
A rainbow rosette and a birthday Cougar Song from Navin R. Johnson-Davis
A bright shiny rainbow star from Angel Dexter – his birthday is today
A big birthday cake from Sidney – there is enough for all of us to share, yummy
Some big colorful balloons from Gimme, Ele’ and Ambro
A cupcake from Ashlye, Cinderella, Sock, Simi, Awnee, Jinx and Baby
A cute mouse from Rocky Ann
A cupcake from Murray
A birthday hat from Diego and LuLu
A cupcake from Ginny, Emma, Charlie, Molly, Belle, Doofus, Remus and Shadow
Another cupcake from my best pal Ripley
And last but certainly not least a birthday hat from my best pal Milo – he sent it to me a few days ago, he did not want me to forget my own birthday, MOL.

I want to thank each and every one of you that have made today such a special day.
I know I have said it before, but I am going to say it again. I have the best friends in the world. I will thank you all individually as soon as my typist has more time.

Thank you all again.

Love,
Grover

Sad Day

Today, I lost my best friend. I am so sad to have to be writing that my best friend Milo went to the bridge today. He was the best friend a cat could ever have. He was only four years old and we should have many more years of fun together.

I am so sad and the worse part is, mom is not here to hug me and tell me everything is going to be alright. I wish she were here with me. I think she needs a hug as much as me. I hope she gets finished working early and can come home and be with us.

I know Milo's family is having a hard time and I don't know what I can do to help them. All I know is to let them know that I am thinking of them. I am sure Grandma's kitty Rhubarb is watching out for Milo. I bet they are curled up in a comfy bed taking a nap right now.

I hope Milo knows, he will ALWAYS be my best friend!!

I love you big guy!!
