Celebrating My 8th Birthday On March 27th!

Holy kittens and caboodles, I can't believe that I'm almost 8 years old but don't look a day over 3 *giggles* Mom & dad remembers the wonderful day when they brought me home from the breeders and that weekend, they even threw a Welcome Home pawty fur me and that was pawsome!

A few weeks ago a pawkage arrived from my girl Aria and Family, Snowmitts also received pressies in the same box from his girl, Bitta which he celebrated his special day on March 17th. Snowmitts is actually dating the sister of my girl! When mom helped us open the pawkage that day, we discovered that there were so many goodies inside and we were purry excited. Not only did my Aria and Bitta send Snowmitts & me lovely gifts but auntie Chris also sent meowmy some beautiful pressies as well. She was so touched by the thoughtfulness and so were we. Of course, I have enjoyed the pressies since the arrival of the pawkage. LOVE the treats!

Now let me tell you what we received: Mom got a really cute picture which she is going to pick out a special frame fur. It reads "Cats are like potato chips... it's hard to have just one!" How true is that *giggles* Auntie Chris also gave her a multi pack of Easter Kit Kats (mom's favorite candy) and a really cool pink rubber lint brush. There was also a special note enclosed fur meowmy.Now this is what we received from our girls, Aria and Bitta: Grandma Lucy's Roasted Chicken treats, Twitch FroliiCat toy, Kong wild tails toy, fleece mouse and a really cute Birthday card. The gifts were enclosed in a beautiful large Birthday bag which was so sweet. Since then meowmy did eat the Kit Kats and enjoyed those purrry much! of course she also shared those with daddy!

Thanks so much my darling Aria fur making my 8th Birthday extra special and to your pawrents fur thinking of my meowmy... Purrry thoughtful as always *blows kisses*

Well, I best get some sleep now since tomorrow will be a big day fur me. This isn't to mention that mom is getting tired and wants to go night night shortly.

I would like to thank Catster fur the pawsome cake and to every kitty fur their Birthday wishes. Sending a warm thanks to the following kitties fur their lovely gifties/rosettes: My Family (chocolate cupcake), My girl Aria (balloons), angel Moozer & Fam (big cake), Mittens & Fam (party hat) and Guido The Italian Kitty (tulips).

Our Brother, Cocoa Is Now An Angel!

Early this morning while everyone was asleep, Cocoa made his journey into Heaven... He gave no indication that he was ready fur the Bridge the night before and it came as a big shock to all of us... Cocoa was diagnosed not too long ago with Hyperthyroidism as well as having Cardiomyopathy for 8-1/2 years. He was almost 16-1/2 years old. Cocoa and meowmy had a purrry special bond and wow, what a meowmy's boy he was. They held that special bond up until the day he made his journey.

When meowmy came down stairs this morning at 8:15 am, she didn't see Cocoa and he didn't respond when she called him. She then looked over towards the dining room and saw him laying on his side, facing the patio glass doors. She had a bad feeling because he always answers her calls but this time, he didn't. As she approached him, he did not move so she knew something was terribly wrong. She picked him up and then collapsed while holding him in her arms, The night before, her dear furiend, Marie spent the night and everything was fine. Mom was crocheting while Cocoa was sitting on the sofa with her and auntie Rea Rea and they decided to go to bed at 12:30 am. Daddy was already sleeping since he had to get up early fur work. When auntie Marie used the bathroom at 2:15 am, she saw Cocoa in the flyer and he was fine. Daddy had to get up at 3:00 am fur work and there was nothing unusual with any of the boys. Meowmy and auntie Rea Rea took Cocoa to the vet at 8:30 and Doc Wray came up from surgery to check on our situation which was purrry nice. He said that Cocoa showed no signs of struggling to breathe and that he passed away peacefully at approximately 5:30-6:00 am. He also said that it was his heart that took him. He was such a wonderful kitty and such a good boy. Heaven gained a beautiful angel today but I know that we are all feeling so much pain as well as all of his wonderful kitty furiends. Cocoa will be privately cremated and returned back home the following Wednesday.

We will Miss Cocoa purry much but he will live furever in our hearts until we all meet again. Fly free purrecious Cocoa boy! You were a wonderful brother and loved so much!

Birthday Gifties From My Girl, Aria!

Today was such a fun day because my darling *ARIA* made it even more special fur me. As mom was going out the front door to get the mail, there was a Birthday pawkage addressed to me and to Snowmitts. The return addy was from our girlfriends (sisters) Aria & Bitta. We couldn't wait to open it so mom ran to get the camera and of course, Snowmitts and me. For some reason, Mitts really wasn't in the mood to have pictures taken. This wasn't to mention that he was having a bad fur day *giggles* His fur is purrry soft and long and lately he has been getting really bad fur static. I don't seem to have that problem.

Well, mom carefully opened the pawkage and there were several pressies wrapped in purrty yellow tissue with pink ribbon. There were also 2 Birthday cards with cute stickers on the envelopes. Aria's mommy was also so thoughtful to send meowmy 2 boxes of Robin Easter Egg candies which that's her favorite... always has been. Now let me tell you what I received and then Jaspurr will let you know what he received in his diary.

Birthday card with a cute orange kitty on the front, Temptation treats (chicken), Catnip pillow, TY chick plushie and Easter Robin Egg candies fur meowmy.

Thanks so much my beautiful Aria fur making my 7th Birthday extra special... I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful
girlfriend.

Since Snowmitts and I celebrate our Birthday's in the same month and only 10 days apart, we received our pressies together in the box. That certainly does make sense but then again, we have such smart girlfriends!

I'm Officially 7 Years Old Today!

Well, today I'm officially 7 years old which also mean that I'm a senior kitty, although I don't look it *giggles* They say that a kitty begins his senior years at the age of 7 but I think it should start at 10. Meowmy also bought me a really cute cupcake which she'll be taking pictures later on today and I surely can't wait to eat some of that, as well as sharing with my siblings...

It has been a wonderful 7 years with a family who has given me unconditional love and I'm looking forward to many many more. Unfortunately, I'm sad because my daddy won't be here to help me celebrate as he's out of state on business *wipes eyes* Daddy and I have a special bond and we're also best furiends. That's ok, I know that he'll call me just like he did with the others to wish me a Happy Birthday.

Well, time to go back to bed since I have a big day of ahead of me. Mom has to work later on but don't worry, she'll help me celebrate when she gets home. I love it when the day is all about me!

Thanks to everyone fur all of your Birthday wishes. Sending a warm thanks to the following kitties fur their gifties & rosettes: My Family (shrimpie), Aria (big cake), Mugsy & Fam (chocolate cupcake), Sofie & Fam (champagne toast), Karisma & Fam (birthday hat), Hondo & Fam (birthday hat), Tate & Fam (shrimpie), Bugsy & Fa (shrimpie), auntie Hazel Lucy (shrimpie) and Murphy & Fam (shrimpie).

I would also like to thank my beautiful girl, Aria fur wishing me a Happy Birthday in her Diary entry *blows kisses*

Heaven Has Gained An Angel!

Today was a purry sad day as we learned that our dear furiend and auntie, Hazel Lucy made her journey to the Bridge at 12:30 pm as a result from renal failure. She was such a beautiful kitty who started the Purr Threads here on Catster...Hazel Lucy touched all of our hearts in such a special way and she will always hold a place in our hearts. Our meowmy is also saddened and shocked by this sudden news as she was not expecting it. Please keep Hazel Lucy and her meowmy, Julie in your purrrs & purrayers during this sad and difficult time. It is never easy to say good bye but I do believe that one day, we will meet with our families again. Love you auntie Hazel Lucy and always know that you will live on furever in our memories *wipes eyes* Auntie Hazel Lucy has touched our hearts and will leave a lasting impression with everyone that was blessed to know her. I know that angel's Picasso & Kashmere will show her around Heaven and I bet that the Bridge is having a big pawty fur her arrival. Beautiful wings fur a beautiful angel.

So Behind On Catster!

Holy kittens... We are several months behind on Catster but now we're trying to catch up. We didn't want any of you to think that we left fur good as that would never happen. Sometimes our humans just get sidetracked and we just wanted to apawologize fur any celebrations that we may have missed.

Meowmy and I are purrry sad because we did miss my darling Aria's special day on January 29th. Hopefully, she's not too upset with me and I want her to know how much I do love her and that she'll always be my sweetie pie *wipes eyes* It was also Bitta & Mikey's special day (Aria's brother & sister) so I would like to wish them a belated Happy Birthday as well. Oh, and Happy Birthday to our bestie, Fido who also had a celebration in January...

We have had several snowstorms since my last diary entry and some of those were really big. Mom loves when it snows so she can run out there and start taking purrty pictures in the development. You know how mom is with the camera... Today, she and daddy are also celebrating their 11th year Annifursary together so they're planning on going to a nice dinner at one of mom's favorite restaurants.

Hope everyone is doing well and always know that you're in our thoughts even if you don't hear from us fur a long while.

Sending a special thanks to my beautiful girl fur the "Pucker Up" kissie giftie. Love you Aria *blows kisses*

We're So Excited To Be Meeting KiKi & Family's Pawrents!

We are so excited as we just found out from meowmy that we'll be meeting KiKi, Ember & Angel Sammie's pawrents this coming Saturday *does happy dance* They have always been such a purry special family to us and of course are also our New Jersey furiends...

Meowmy had a doctors appointment this morning and then back home to relax. She went upstairs to change into her PJ's before Therapy later and she saw that her hair stylist left a message letting her know that someone was having their hair done who recognized us from Catster. Mom's eyes got super big and round and called Louise ASAP! Well, she couldn't figure out who it was even after speaking to the Catster mom. Silly meowmy... even with the NJ hint *giggles* Finally mom gave up and it was KiKi's meomwy, Joanne. Mom was dumbfounded for words and was so excited. What are the chances that mom's hair stylist is the same lady who does auntie Joanne's hair? They spoke for a long while talking about Angel Picasso and Ember who was also diagnosed with Cardiomyopathy recently. Angel Picasso, Cannoli, Ember & Cocoa all share the same Cardiologist! We will keep Ember and his beautiful family in our daily purrrrs and purrayers... Well, our pawrents will be meeting KiKi's pawrents on Saturday and we can't wait. What a wonderful day this will be and I think they're even planning on having dinner together.

Sending a warm thanks to the following kitties fur their lovely Catmas cards: Boogers & Fam, Angel Calvin & Fam, Aria & Fam, KiKi & Fam, Karisma & Fam.
