Dear friends,
Thank you for sending my mom and me sweet messages of comfort this past week. My mom has been really sad and missing me this week. At first she wasn't sure why (I knew all along) but she realized that along with the lovely change in seasons this week came a new season, without me.
And although she, Lucy, and Sophie delighted in opening the windows and feeling the cool Arizona autumn breeze blow through the house, the open windows were a reminder to mom of me. I loved to lay in the window and click at the birdies passing by. And although she can't see it, now I am laying outside in a field of catnip, chattering at birdies and butterflies as they fly by. Happy and content and peaceful.
love,
Sally

Dear Sally,
I miss you so much. It's hard for me to think of you without crying. It's been 5 months and three days since you passed and my heart is still broken. I was looking at some photos of you today; you were so beautiful and so sweet. Such a cuddler- always in my lap or near me. You were so quiet but the noises you did make were so cute. And your little white paws- sometimes when you were sleeping in my lap, I would hold your paw in my hand. You always let me. I loved your little paws.
I didn't know you were so sick. I wonder if I had known, if we could have seen a specialist, a cardiologist, and if I could have had you here longer. I'll never know. It just breaks my heart to think of you, so sick, on your last day here on earth.
I loved you so much. I miss you like crazy. I really hope that there is a rainbow bridge and that you are there, chasing butterflies and rolling in catnip. I love you.
Love,
Mom

Hi friends! Just wanted to write a little note to let everyone know that I am doing well here at the bridge. I miss my mommy so much (and she misses me, too). My dear friend Aragorn taught me how to fly to the lowest cloud and watch over her and my sisters Sophie and Lucy. Plus, I know for sure that I will see her again when the time is right. Until that time comes, I'm busy napping in the catnip patch and chasing butterflies! Just the other day I sent one down to my mommy and it made her smile. When I saw her smile, I smiled too!
love,
Sally

My thoughtful and sweet friend Nük / Anük wrote these beautiful words:
Every time I see the blue sky - I think of your beautiful eyes. Every time a gentle breeze ruffles my fur - I think it must be your wings beating near. Sending you enigmatic cat smiles and a gentle cheek rub for your mama.
Mom and I both smiled when we read it ~ so beautiful. Thanks Nük / Anük, you are amazing!
love,
Sally

Dear Sally-mander,
I've been thinking about you and missing you so much today (and every day), baby girl. It's been exactly 4 months since you passed away and went to the bridge. It feels like a lifetime ago and at the same time, it feels like it just happened moments ago. I've found myself looking at the clock today, thinking about what was happening at each moment on May 9th. It makes me feel so sad. I should probably stop doing that : )
Sending you big hugs, cuddles, and kisses every day, but especially today. I love you.
love,
Mom

Dear Sally,
Hi baby girl. I just wanted to say thank you for visiting me in my dream last night! It was wonderful to see you and I had been so hoping that I would see you in my dreams. I love you.
love,
Mom

My family lives in Arizona and it doesn't rain there very often but when it does ~ holy cat, it pours! Phoenix summers are considered monsoon season and the monsoon creates big, loud, and wet thunderstorms.
Being the brave kitty that I am, I LOVED the rain and thunderstorms! I would run to the window and watch, with my tail twitching. My scaredy cat sister Lucy and my scaredy dog sister Sophie always hid, together, in Sophie's den.
I think I've mentioned it before in my diary but thunderstorms were always a special time for me and my mommy. Because the scaredy girls would hide for hours, mom and I would sit together, just the two of us, in the window seat and watch the storms. We would hang out together cuddling and watching the rain.
It's been a rainy summer (partly because I know how much my mommy loves the rain so I sent a little of it her way!) and every time it rains, my mom thinks of me. Of course, she thinks of me all the time anyways : ) but especially when it rains.
It's raining tonight in Arizona ~ a big thunderstorm. Here at the bridge I am nice and dry but still watching the rain and my mom from a big puffy cloud. And I can see my mom in the window, thinking of me and smiling.
love,
Sally

Thank you, Catster HQ, for honoring my dear friend. Sweet little Lilly, one of the newest and most beautiful angels here at the bridge, is today's Cat of the Day.
I hope that seeing Lilly on the homepage of Catster brings a smile, through the tears, to her family. They love her so very much and miss her so deeply.
Sending angel purrs of comfort to Lilly, her kitty sister Lucy, and her family.
love,
Angel Sally

Yay! Mom added more photos to my page. She owes a huge, heartfelt thank you to her sister (mom to my fur cousins Max Cat and Baby Marley).
Mom was frantically searching for photos of me a week or so after I made my journey to the bridge. She knew she had pictures of me as a kitten during my very first few days at home but she couldn't find them anywhere. Mom remembered that she had sent a doubles to her family because she was so excited about me. Of course, that was 9 years ago and mom knew it was a stretch to think that anyone would have saved photos of her kitty for 9 years. But she asked anyways, just in case.
And wouldn't you know it? Aunt Sarah had the photos, ALL OF THEM! And she mailed them to mom. I know that mom's eyes leaked when she saw the photos of me as a cute little kitten ~ she was SO happy and thankful that Aunt Sarah had saved them for all of these years (even after moving across the country!). Thank you! Check out my newly posted photos!
I would also like to let my friends know about my kitty friend Teddy. He made his journey to the bridge suddenly on Thursday, August 14th. His mom is heartbroken and misses her Teddy so very much. He was only 8 years old. Sending angel purrs and whisker kisses to Teddy's mom and family.
love,
Sally

My little sister Lucy has been sick for three weeks now. Actually, she's been sick on and off for nearly 3 years. Before I came to the bridge, I was a big help to my mom when Lucy was sick. I would cuddle with little Lou. Even though I didn't really like to cuddle with her, she LOVED to cuddle with me. So, when she was sick, I'd give her some cuddles to make her feel better.
Also, with all of her sickness, she has had to change foods many times. She's the pickiest eater you will ever meet. Yeah, I know ~ she's silly like that but it always worked out for me as she would let me finish her meals when she was done! I helped mom out with the food changes, too. Lots of times Lucy wouldn't even consider eating a new food unless she saw me eating it first! A true copycat!
It's kind of hard to be here at the bridge, watching them. I know my mom is worried and I know Lucy doesn't feel very good. I'd like to cuddle with both of them and make them feel better (and they would like that, too).
So I will watch over them and send angel purrs to little Lucy. Even though she could be an irritating little sister at times, she's really a sweetheart and I miss her. Feel better Lucy!

Dear Sally,
Hi little one, it's your mom taking over your diary once again. It's been nearly 3 months since you passed on to the bridge. I'm still (and always will be) missing you, baby girl. Time hasn't healed the pain and sadness of saying good bye, although time has maybe given me some perspective. I've found myself remembering moments with you that I couldn't access for the last few months. The memories were too clouded with grief. The grief is still there but there's space now for thinking about you and not just how/when you left.
I've found more photos of you. Really cute ones of you as a baby, an adolescent, and a big girl. So cute! And so sweet! The other night I swore I saw you sleeping in one of your favorite places under the kitchen table. Just for a (precious) moment.
I bought your kitty sister a beautiful new kitty bed. I thought she would like it but she has no interest in it : ) She is just so sensitive to anything new, she kind of needs you to show her it's okay. I think she relied on you in so many ways (even if she drove you crazy at times).
Lucy's been sick but is feeling better today. Thank you for watching over her. Sophie is Sophie ~ her eyebrows have turned gray and she spends most of the day sleeping. She is still addicted to milkbones and green beans. You would think she was a puppy by the ways she prances around the kitchen, wagging her tail when I start cooking green beans!
I've been thinking about adopting a new kitty. I've decided to wait for a little while. The first priority is for Lucy to recover from her illness. The other thing is that when I think about a new kitty, I want one who looks just like you and who acts just like you and who cuddles just like you ~ I want you. That might be a sign that I'm not quite ready. But I will be ready one day and I hope that you will help me find the right kitty to bring into our family.
Take care, little girl. Enjoy your time in the catnip patch, playing with your angel friends and chasing after butterflies. I love you.
Love,
Mom

I am sending special angel purrs and kisses to my new cousin Baby Marley. She doesn't have a Catster page up yet. She is a little baby that was adopted by my mom's human sister from a rescue group.
Marley was found as a baby near her mother who had passed on to the bridge. She was taken in by a rescue. She was thought to be about 8 weeks old when adopted by my aunt a week ago. She weighed less than 2 pounds; the rescue had already had her spayed before she was adopted.
Unfortunately, Marley has become very, very ill and now weighs only 10 ounces. She was taken home by the vet this weekend in critical condition; the vet is hopeful that with special round the clock vet care including putting Marley back on the bottle and giving her sub q fluids every two hours that Marley might be able to pull through. They are not exactly sure why she is so ill and not eating or drinking; the vet thinks that Marley may be younger than 8-9 weeks old and was spayed too early. Her little body is having trouble healing.
She is so adorable and she is doing everything she can to pull through~ we have all been so worried about her. Sending angel purrs and angel kisses to baby Marley.
Love,
Sally
7/21/08 ~
UPDATE! Baby Marley is home from the hospital! Her mom picked her up this afternoon. Her weight has gone up from 10 ounces last week to 1.4 pounds today. She is feeling better and has rediscovered her purr! Her mom said Marley looks so much better compared to Friday when she went home with the vet.
She is also officially on Catster! Click on her name to meet her!
Thanks to all the kitties who are purring for her ~ it's working!

I've been tagged by two of my favorite Catster friends, Oliver and Dewey
Oliver and Dewey are so darn adorable. Their pictures are so cute and they write the best diaries! Check out Oliver's photos in his fish hat and the photo of Dewey yelling out the window!
I am supposed to write 6 things that I don't like. Since I am at the bridge now and I like everything here (although I miss my mom and my family), I am going to write about 6 things I didn't like before I came to the bridge.
1) I didn't like when Lucy played rough with me. She's a crazy cat and she likes to chew but I don't like to be chewed on!
2) I didn't like riding in my carrier or going to the v-e-t. Yuck.
3) I didn't like when mom was busy (i.e., not giving all of her attention to me). And believe me, I let her know it!
4) I didn't like it when the doorbell rang or when Sophie barked when the doorbell rang. I would run and hide under the bed!
5) I didn't like when Mom trimmed my nails. I tolerated it but I DIDN'T LIKE IT!
6) One night long ago, a big fluffy male tomcat climbed onto our roof and peeked into mom's bedroom window. I DID NOT LIKE THAT. I hissed and yelled at him and he went away. Stay off of our house! Don't peek in our windows!
Oliver and Dewey also tagged my doggie sister Sophie so I will let her tag six friends to forward this to.
Angel purrs,
Sally

In the last two and a half months since I went to the rainbow bridge, I've met so many amazing angels. There is a special community here within the greater Catster world ~ the angel community. Although it is a community I (and many other angels) wasn't expecting to join so soon, the support and understanding of all the angels and their families has helped me (and my mom) cope with my sudden departure.
I've also had the opportunity to meet some amazing kitties (and their moms, dads, and families) here on Catster who are living with and fighting the same disease that brought me to the bridge too soon- Cardiomyopathy (HCM). It is such a serious disease and many cats and their parents don't even get the chance to try and fight it as the symptoms often don't appear until it is too late (as in my case).
I am sending angel purrs and angel kisses to my special kitty friends and all the kitties here on Catster who are brightening the lives of their families and friends while bravely battling HCM. Sweet little Lily, beautiful ♥ Chloe ♥, sweet Cocoa, and his baby brother handsome Picasso (Needing Your Prayers). Thanks to these kitties and their families for their thoughtful messages. Picasso and Cocoa's mom has been a tremendous support to my mom with her comforting words and has helped my mom to come to terms with the reality of my disease and the emotions that follow the difficult decisions my mom had to make when I became sick. Thank you!
Angel purrs,
Sally

I've been watching my family from above, sending angel purrs to them- especially my mom who has been so sad without me. My sisters Sophie and Lucy seem to be doing okay. They are as silly as ever!
It rained a couple of times in the last week and I laughed my kitty angel bottom off just watching those two silly sisters of mine! They are such scaredy cats. Well, scaredy cat and scaredy dog! The two of them hide from the rain together in Sophie's doggie den! Ha! MOL!
When I was there with my family, I loved to watch the rain! That was always a special time with me and my mom- I had her all to myself for hours since my scaredy siblings were so busy hiding! Mom and I would watch the rain from the window seat and she always gave me extra loving because I was her brave girl. I know the rain this week made my mom think of me; it made me think of her, too. I even saw a little smile cross her face as she sat in the window seat, watching the rain. It was a special smile for me. It was my mom's "Sally smile."

Oh my cat! The Rainbow Bridge Angel Babies (RBAB) have given me the special honor of Angel of the Week!
And, dogster Daisy made the beautiful animation on my page of me as a kitty and a big girl sitting in a purple flower. Thank you Daisy!
This is such an honor! Thank you so very much! I'm still learning to use my wings and learning my way around the bridge- I'm really still just an angel kitten!
Thank you to all my doggie and kitty angel friends!
Love,
Sally

The following is from a post by Ellie and Helga on Dogster.
If you ever love an animal, there are three days in your life you will always remember . . .
The first is a day, blessed with happiness, when you bring home your young new friend. You may have spent weeks deciding on a breed. You may have asked numerous opinions of many vets, or done long research in finding a breeder. Or, perhaps in a fleeting moment, you may have just chosen that silly looking mutt in a shelter -- simply because something in its eyes reached your heart. But when you bring that chosen pet home, and watch it explore, and claim its special place in your hall or front room -- and when you feel it brush against you for the first time -- it instills a feeling of pure love you will carry with you through the many years to come.
The second day will occur eight or nine or ten years later. It will be a day like any other. Routine and unexceptional. But, for a surprising instant, you will look at your longtime friend and see age where you once saw youth. You will see slow deliberate steps where you once saw energy. And you will see sleep when you once saw activity. So you will begin to adjust your friend's diet -- and you may add a pill or two to her food. And you may feel a growing fear deep within yourself, which bodes of a coming emptiness. And you will feel this uneasy feeling, on and off, until the third day finally arrives.
And on this day -- if your friend and whatever higher being you believe in have not decided for you, then you will be faced with making a decision of your own -- on behalf of your lifelong friend, and with the guidance of your own deepest Spirit. But whichever way your friend eventually leaves you -- you will feel as alone as a single star in the dark night.
If you are wise, you will let the tears flow as freely and as often as they must. And if you are typical, you will find that not many in your circle of family or friends will be able to understand your grief, or comfort you.
But if you are true to the love of the pet you cherished through the many joy-filled years, you may find that a soul -- a bit smaller in size than your own -- seems to walk with you, at times, during the lonely days to come.
And at moments when you least expect anything out of the ordinary to happen, you may feel something brush against your leg -- very, very lightly.
And looking down at the place where your dear, perhaps dearest, friend used to lie -- you will remember those three significant days. The memory will most likely be painful, and leave an ache in your heart.
As time passes the ache will come and go as if it has a life of its own. You will both reject it and embrace it, and it may confuse you. If you reject it, it will depress you. If you embrace it, it will deepen you. Either way, it will still be an ache.
But there will be, I assure you, a fourth day when -- along with the memory of your pet -- and piercing through the heaviness in your heart -- there will come a realization that belongs only to you. It will be as unique and strong as our relationship with each animal we have loved, and lost. This realization takes the form of a Living Love -- like the heavenly scent of a rose that remains after the petals have wilted, this Love will remain and grow -- and be there for us to remember. It is a love we have earned. It is the legacy our pets leave us when they go. And it is a gift we may keep with us as long as we live. It is a Love which is ours alone. And until we ourselves leave, perhaps to join our Beloved Pets -- it is a Love we will always possess.

Hi little Sally,
It's mom again. I was just thinking about you and your paws! They were so cute- all big and white and soft with totally pink little paw pads. I love(d) your paws (even when you tried to get me with them!). Sometimes you would let me hold them when we sat next to each other- so cute! And all your kneading- believe me, sometimes it was a bit painful to be on the receiving end- but still so sweet. I remember noticing, even the very first time I met you as a tiny little baby, your paws were just so cute!
Oh, it also totally cracked me up how when I was in the bathroom with (cat forbid!) the door closed, you would start poking those cute little white paws under the door! A little privacy, please!
Love you,
Mom

My dearest Sally,
Hi baby girl. It's your mom again, hijacking your diary to write to you. Today is seven weeks from the day that you passed. Again, I think it goes without saying (yet I feel compelled to say it again)- I miss you so much. So many things remind me of you and remind me that you are not here with me. I try so hard to imagine you at the rainbow bridge, happy and healthy and chasing butterflies. But it's hard as my mind often goes to other places.
It's hard for me right now as I find myself perseverating on that final day with you. All the scary, sad, and traumatic things that happened. I suppose that it's normal to keep thinking of that day as it has been less than 2 months. It's still so fresh in my mind.
I hope that it will fade with time and I will be able to instead focus on the nearly nine years of healthy and happy times that we had together. And I'm not even talking about super special days or anything- what I really miss are the normal, every day type moments- like seeing you all sprawled out in the window seat or on the back of the couch. Or that silly tap, tap, tap on my shoulder with your paw and little "mew" sound you would make when you wanted to sit in my lap. So, so sweet and cute.
I've been experiencing some guilt and lots of what ifs. Sometimes I was busy doing something when you tapped on my shoulder- now, of course I would drop everything to hold you in my arms. I also (of course) wish that I hadn't taken you to the groomer. Even though the vet and the cardiologist said that you were so sick and the heart failure could have occured at any time, even just from running around the house or climbing the stairs, it just breaks my heart that this happened there. I'm sorry.
Another thing that bothers me is in your final moments, when you were in my arms- I couldn't see your eyes and you couldn't see mine. I was holding you, touching you, and telling you how much I loved you and what a sweet girl you were. But I couldn't see your eyes and you couldn't see mine and that really bothers me.
I truly believe that you know how much I loved you and still love you and I know with all my heart that you loved me so much, too. And deep down, I KNOW that you knew that in those final moments and in every moment that came before. I think I just needed to say this out loud and acknowledge how I feel about it. Maybe by acknowleding it, I will better be able to move past it and think about all the other moments and days that we had together.
I'm not sure when I will give you back your diary but I think that the next time I write to you, I'm going to write about a happy memory I have of our time together- there are more than a million to choose from : )
I love you so much.
Love,
Mom

Hi sweet Sally,
It's your mom- I have totally hijacked your diary. I just wanted to let you know how much I have been thinking about you. It probably goes without saying that I miss you so much.
I put some photos of you in new frames yesterday. I'm upset with myself that I didn't take enough pictures of you- I just didn't realize our time together would end so soon. I (naively) thought we would be together for so much longer.
Yesterday, for a moment(actually most of yesterday afternoon), I went into a panic- I convinced myself that I have more photos of you on my old cell phone. The panic part was that I couldn't find it. I still can't find it, but I'm not done looking. I think there is a short video clip on the phone of you lying in my lap and purring, too. I will find the phone.
I wish I had taken more photos of you. I wish that I had photos of you in your favorite places- the kitchen window, under the kitchen table, the window seat in the family room, in your kitty tree and condo, under the ottoman, pretty much everywhere in the house.
One of my very favorite visual memories of you is how cute and silly you looked lying on the back of the couch with your paws hanging down either side and your cute little chin resting on the back of the couch. Lounging. I didn't know our time together was coming to an end and for some ridiculous reason, I never took a picture of you in that silly position. So instead of a photo, I will keep that memory in my mind forever.
I also don't have much video of you. Thankfully, about a month before you passed on, I made a little video. It was a Saturday and we were all at home, hanging out. I remember thinking how that was my favorite kind of day- home, relaxed, spending time together and enjoying each other.
I got out the video camera and videotaped you, Lucy, and Sophie. Just for a few minutes. I was actually thinking more about Sophie being almost 14- I wanted to capture some "everyday" moments on video. At the time, the video didn't seem like anything too special- just my three little girls hanging out on a Saturday afternoon. Now, of course, it means so much to me. There you are, looking as beautiful as ever, following Sophie around and just being you. Beautiful, sweet Sally.
I love you and I miss you.
Love,
Mom

Dear Sweet Sally,
It's been 5 weeks since you passed away and my heart is still broken. At times I feel almost normal and can think of you and smile. And, of course, at other times just the thought of you brings me to tears. Such a sweet kitty and gone too suddenly and too soon.
I was looking through pictures of you today- you were the tiniest baby when I brought you home and I had no idea what I was doing- I'd never been a kitty mom before! I had a roll of film from the first week that you entered into our lives and I could only find two of the photos. I looked everywhere for the film and just couldn't find it. I emailed your aunt (my sister) just in case she had saved any of those pictures- I was so excited about you when I brought you home that I sent family members doubles of some of the photos. Well, I owe my family greatly because your aunt had saved the photos- ALL of them! And she sent them to me. And they brought a smile to my face- you were so cute!
And to look through the photos and watch you grow from a tiny kitten into a mischievious adolescent (with the beautiful dark fur spreading across your little face) into the beautiful Sally that I knew so well and loved so much. In a lot of ways, I was so lucky to have you for nearly nine years.
Love you and miss you,
Mom

I was tagged by Missy! You just choose 5 things that you like doing and tag 5 of your furriends.
Five things I like to do to have fun-
1. Cuddle on Mom, especially if she is lying down- cuddling includes headbonks, kneading, sometimes sniffing her face, drooling, and hugs!
2. Investigating purses and bags- I must know what's inside! Also inspecting the contents of drawers and cabinets.
3. Stalking feather and fishing pole toys, especially when they are being pulled away from me......
4. I like to follow Sophie when she has a treat- I have found that is a great time to investigate the strange species of dog. She's too busy to mind me sniffing and inspecting her!
5. I LOVE to sprawl out on the window seat in my favorite kitty bed and watch birds fly by.
Tagged again by my friend Nermal!
Four jobs I have had:
1) Baby sister to Sophie and big sister to Lucy
2) Fashion inspector specializing in purses.
3) Supermodel- I'm a beauty!
4) Carpenter specializing in testing hinges on drawers and cabinets
Four places I have lived, been:
1) As a tiny baby, I lived outside in Phoenix (but for less than two weeks!)
2) Home
3) I went on an airplane ride once with Mom- and I didn't mind the airplane thing at all!
4) I also went on a road trip once to Iowa and you know what? I really liked it- I sat next to Mom in the car and slept most of the trip!
Four places I would rather be:
1) Home with my mom and my family.
2) Home with my mom and my family.
3) Home with my mom and my family.
4) Home with my mom and my family.
Tagging my friends:

I miss seeing you in the mornings. I miss stepping over you, all sprawled out, on the stairs.
I miss how you scratched at the back door to let me know that Sophie was ready to come inside. And anytime I was petting Sophie, you joined right in on the loving (and vice versa).
I miss hearing you meow while I am on the computer, right before you jumped up into my lap. I miss your little paw tapping me on the shoulder when you wanted extra attention.
I miss that silly clicking sound you made when you were watching birds fly by the window. I miss seeing you all sprawled out on the back of the couch- I keep finding myself reaching to pet you- you were always so close by.
When the next thunderstorm comes, I'll miss seeing you bravely watch the rain from the window seat (while Sophie and Lucy hide!).
And even though it happened so rarely, I miss seeing you and Lucy cuddle together and groom each other.
I miss how you would wait around the corner when I opened a can of wet food and then meow until I brought your plate to you. And how you would eat yours and wait patiently until Lucy was done and then finish hers, too. And the funny thing is, Lucy misses that too. She looked for you the other day- first when I got the food out and then when she was done eating. She's really been missing you.
I miss how you would sometimes swipe Sophie's food and bat it around the house. Sometimes you would eat a little bit of it, but usually it ended up rolling out of your reach, under a door or the dryer.
I miss your purrs. And your kneading. And cuddling with you. And how sweet it was when you would lay on me and press your forehead on my cheek! I loved how anytime a blanket was brought out or clothes or a towel were left on the floor, you were there within moments, lounging on top of it.
I miss catching you opening drawers and cabinets- you always looked so cute standing on your back legs! And you were so smart. A genius, really. And so beautiful. And so sweet.
I miss your beautiful blue eyes. And your sweet little white paws.
I miss everything about you. I loved you so much and I can't believe you are no longer here. I miss you, Sophie misses you, and Lucy misses you. I keep expecting to see you in all of your favorite places. And although you were a quiet cat, the house just seems so (too) quiet without you.
