Azriel was put to sleep on July 22, 2008.

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Wahoo! My mom loves stuffonmycat.com so much that she entered me in their photo contest! Lots of people had more intricate and exciting pictures, but I wasn't very patient. She put a sign on me and had Nibbles sit with me, which wasn't nice, but we'll see how it goes! Vote for me! =) You can see my pic right here, with Nibbles.

Wow, I made the Catster Diary Page!

Thank you, Catster! This is my second biggest honor, next to being on "Stuffonmycat.com." That is one of my mom's favorite sites because along with Catster, there are nerdy pages of cats everywhere which make her laugh out loud. Also, "cuteoverload.com" is full of cute and funny pictures which are so cute and snuggly... The picture which made Stuffonmycat was the one of me with my mom's book laying on me. She was doing a paper for one of her Graduate classes, and I was so tired but I wanted to be near her so I fell asleep right next to her on the couch as she was writing. I love when people cover me when I'm sleeping, so when she put the book on me, it was pretty comfy. Then she had to go and put the pencil between my toes, and I loooooove pencils (I love to steal them when people are using them, bite them when they're writing, and bat them under the fridge), so that was fun. My mom was so excited about the picture that she emailed everyone in her class at college, including the professor who seemed to love it the most. Its easy to please my mom because whatever I do, she thinks I'm the most beautiful thing ever and gives me good scratches under my chin and lots of snuggles and belly-rubs. I think it's just because I'm "me..." But we can talk! When I talk to mom, she talks right back (although she may not always "get" what I'm saying). We have good chats, especially if I'm on the sink or next to the tub and she's taking a bath. Those are some long conversations.

Thanks Catster, for putting me in the spotlight!

My Tail of Devotion for Azriel

Most people think I'm nuts for treating my pets the way I do--as they deserve to be treated--with overflowing love, respect, and common courtesy. This goes especially for Azriel, who is by far one of the most loving and one of the most human pets I have ever shared my home with. (She is currently purring and pushing to lay on the keyboard, so this needs to be fast...)

If I were to tell her something in her language, I would tell her this:

Azriel, you are the most beautiful little lady I've ever seen. I love when you lay at my feet on the bed and purr. I love your "kisses" which you bestow on any exposed area of skin, and your "hugs" which grab my hands. We've been through a lot together-- especially with your kidney issues. You've been so brave with all your vet trips. I remember when I found out the severity of your health--it crushed my heart. To think that I could possibly lose the one creature that actually is happy to greet me in the morning, my companion who "guards" the bathtub when I'm reading for hours in there, the cat who would never dare to harm one of the birds that you live with (even though they have clipped wings and can't get away) was one of the worst feelings I've ever had. My only regret is that I didn't find you sooner so we would have more time together. You're already eight or nine now, and to think that the time we have together could possibly be cut short is devastating. When I take you to the vet, don't be scared--they're saving you. I know you're frightened, but trust in me, I would never do anything to harm you or frighten you unnecessarily. You steal my pencils, sleep on my butt, lick my feet when I'm trying to go to the bathroom, and insist on laying directly in the line of traffic in the livingroom, yet these things make me love you so much more. Everyone who meets you is amazed at how gorgeous you are and how beautiful your many-toed feet are. You let strangers give you belly-rubs. You and your seven toes hold a very special place in my heart which can never be replaced. You are also one of the best snugglers on the face of the planet. I love you so much--and I want to thank you for loving me the way you do.

This is a special Tail of Devotion
