Thank You!

Thank you for my birfday wishes.
I appurrciates your kindnesses.

My bruvver, ROY BAXTER Baxter Boy & my dog bruvver, Spike Ellington came by to see me and we had some great treats & ice cubes (Spike & I LOVE ice cubes). After our birfday treats we played a really fun game of stick.....that was our favorite earthly game.

It was a furrific birfday...made even better by my Catster friends.

Purrrrrrrrrssssssssssss.

My Bridgeversary

Saturday was my 1 year Bridgeversary. Mama thought of me furst thing when she woke up in the morning.

That's nothing mew, though. Mama thinks of me alot. She worries if I'm sad or lonesome At The Bridge. I try to tell her I'm not but I don't think my voice is strong enough to reach her.

Mama has been sad this whole year hoping she made the right decision for me. I wish I could help her.

One thing I know for absolute certain is that my Mama loved me more than anyone else efurr did. And she still DOES love me.

I wish I could still be with her. I loved curling up next to her and watching TV together. Mama would pet me and tell me she loved me. Mama always complimented my soft cotton feet and my plush fur. Those good words made me feel so happy.

Sometimes I feel sad and sometimes I feel mad because parts of my life were so hard and just not fair. At least I know that I am loved and missed and that my Mama gave me the furry best life pawsible.

Guess it's time to stop feeling so sorry for myself. I'm going to go find my dog bruvver, Spike. What this cat needs is a really good game of stick!!!!

Posting from the Bridge

Today was a good day to die.

Does that sound pawful? Please don't think so. The sky was bright blue, the sun was warm and the breeze could ruffle all my fur. It was my favorite kind of day when I lived outside.

I have been at the dr vet Clinic for a couple weeks now. Mama had a really difficult decision to make. Oh! She agonized so much. She talked to efurry one about what to do with me. Mama loved me more than anyone efurr could (cuz you see I wasn't the most loveable boy--except to mama) and she wanted to do EFURRY THING that was right for me.

Finally, the time came for mama to have to decide about my future. Today she woke up and saw what a purrty day it was and she remembered how much I love days like this. She drove the almost 2 hours to the dr vet where I was & she talked one last time with the dr vet (mama worked with her for 10 years) and mama talked to her co-workers at the Clinic (she REALLY values their opinons) and mama decided that, for me, today was a good day to die.

I was soooo lucky. Because mama has experience taking care of kitties in all situations she knew just what to do to make this afternoon the best for me. I had THE most delicious lunch and she let me eat all I wanted (and THAT'S alot!!). I had plenty of fresh water to drink (I'm a diabetic & I like to drink alot) and the best thing of all?? I got lots of chin scratches & ear rubs from mama PLUS she constantly told me she loved me (which I knew).

Mama held me and we looked out the window at the pretty day AND at the backyard where I used to live (you see, our family lived just behind the dr vet clinic & the backyards were shared). Mama talked softly to me as I went to sleep, I heard her telling me how very very much she loves me.

THEN!!!! I woke up and I was in the softest green grass I efurr felt and when I started to look around I saw something big and black running straight towards me....WHAT THE..????

It was Spike Ellington, my dog bruvver, and he had a stick in his mouf. How wonderful. I have really really missed running & playing stick wif my dog bruvver. After we finished giving eachother lots of licks and nuzzles we began the greatest game of stick. I could run and run and run and run and not once did my heart feel funny and I didn't get all tired out. Spike was able to chase me and be chased too, his
ar-the-rite-us didn't hurt him at all. We had a most glorious afternoon. Almost like we were young and in our backyard again.

Later I looked down and saw mama driving home -- I could feel her sadness, I wanted to make her feel better, so I arranged for some of her favorite music to be played on her car radio. That put a little smile on her face, but she was still too sad. Hmmmmm -- what can I do? All of a sudden I realized that my bruvver, Baxter & his
fur-riends, Chumley & Fela & Tabby were standing beside me. They explained that sometimes if Bridge kitties try hard enough they can lift sadness off a mama. They said they would help me. We all concentrated really hard and some of the sadness lifted from mama. She seemed to know that I was in a good place with fur-riends who love me. Mama knows that I love her and I know she loves me
fur-efurr and efurr. Someday we'll be together again and I'll get more chin scratches and ear rubs. Until then Spike and I will be running through this soft green grass and playing stick as long as we want.

So, you see, today was a good day to die....

And The Rules Are.....

Ok, I furgot to include the rules for TAG in my last diary entry.

the rules are: each kitty who gets tagged must leave a diary entry giving the rules and listing 7 little known facts about themselves. Then they list the 7 kitties they are going to tag, they go tag the kitties & instruct that kitty to visit the diary page & see what's what.

It's really simpler than the way I wrote the rules.

Let's Go Have Fun!

TAG ~ I'm It!

For a kitty who spent alot of time alone and now gets to live inside with the family--that's blessing enough.

But now, I am surrounded by great Catster fur-riends!! And now I've been TAGGED by my pal, Mackenzie. I feel soooo fortunate.

What are 7 things to tell you about myself? I'll try to make it interesting for you.

1) My first mama loved me a whole lot, but I just couldn't get along with her baby, so she allowed me to go live with my now & furever mama.

2) For many many years I had my own house with upholstered chair, my own fenced yard & many many squirrels to watch. I couldn't live wif efurryone else cuz something's wrong in my head and it made me really mean and sometimes I even tried to kill my sister, Cagney. I just couldn't help myself.

3) Mama hasn't told hardly anyone but I have a heart problem and may not get to live with mama for alot longer.

4) I kicked my baby bruvver, Henry K. Derby, out of the hoo-man baby's crib. Now when the hoo-man baby isn't visiting I sleep in the crib. Ha Ha Derby!

5) I love my mama so much. When efurryone else gave up on me and I was about to go to The Bridge cuz of my head problem, mama said NO and she tooked me home and she has loved me beyond all measure since then.

6) One time I was running around the yard with mama and our dog bruvver, Spike. I decided to play a game--I jumped the 6 foot fence in one leap. WOW! That was fun. But then I got lost and mama couldn't find me. I heard her calling and calling me. And I even knew she was crying. But I was so scared I couldn't call back to her. Then where I was got real dark and I was REALLY scared. Luckily the next morning Dad came and got me. He said I'd spent the night in our neighbor's garage. I never did THAT again.

7) I know I'll probably go to The Bridge soon. And I'm sad to leave mama but I'm excited to see my dog bruvver, Spike. And play wif the hoo-man baby, Luke, who went to The Bridge in January. I do hope I get to stay wif mama lots longer though.

Now I'm going to TAG some Catster pals named:

heart Bijou
Calvin
Aloyisus
Haskell
T.C.
Wallingford
Maus

Just A Beginner

I don't usually say too much. And I don't socialize alot. I need to write a diary entry now because I am just TOO EXCITED and just have to share my good news.

Mama told me she has applied to adopt a Squillion for me. She said it was because I'm purr-ty solitary and it would be nice for me to have somefing of my own.

I agree. My bruvver, Oliver Winston Parsons Cat, gets most of the attention cuz he talks lots. With my Squillion I'll have somefing to keep me busy and somefing I can love on when I'm feeling shy.

I've already named my Squillion, but you'll have to wait and find out........
