Welcoming My Brother, Cocoa Into Heaven This Morning.

Early this morning while everyone was asleep, Cocoa made his journey into Heaven so Kashmere and I were there to greet him. 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. We gained a beautiful angel today but I know that my family is 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.

I will continue to look over my family and furiends *sprinkles mousie angel dust*

Welcoming Hazel Lucy Into Heaven!

Today was a special day as all of the angels were at the gates waiting to greet auntie Hazel Lucy... I stood next to my sister Kashmere along with so many others. I was holding a purrty pink mousie fur her and Kashmere was holding a cute Hello Kitty doll to give to her as soon as she arrived. We had a big pawty with lots of treats, toys, catnip and Hazel's favorite, baby food. It is always difficult when our pawrents have to say good bye but I know in my heart that one day, we'll all meet again. Hazel Lucy was the founder of the Purrr Thread here on Catster and her meowmy, Julie is well known fur the beautiful accessories (blankies, hats & scarves) that she knits. Auntie Hazel Lucy has touched our hearts and will leave a lasting impression with everyone that was blessed to know her.

Please keep Hazel Lucy's meowmy in your purrrrs & purrayers during this sad time and know that she's in great paws here in Heaven with her hubby, Buddie as well as many new and old furiends.

It makes me so proud that my daddy "Monte" takes such good care of him and of course, so do my other siblings. I have always had such a wonderful family and I was lucky to have celebrated 2 of my birthday's with them.

I have also welcomed my dear furiend, Mercy just weeks ago and I just wanted to let her family know that she's doing well and having a pawsome time up here in Heaven. I think she's helping Kashmere with the pawty *giggles* I have also recently welcomed my sweet furiend, Quinn C into Heaven.

I'm Celebrating My DDP Here In Heaven!

When meowmy signed onto the computer just moments ago, she saw that I was a Daily Diary Pick and that made her smile... Just because a lot of us kitties are no longer with our friends, it doesn't mean that we shouldn't receive honors... We are looking down at our family and furiends each and everyday and always protecting them. We are still with them in spirit and that is most important. I have greeted many of kitties since my journey to Rainbow Bridge and I want their families to know that we're all doing well and everyday is a pawsome pawty. Of course my Heaven home is full of all kinds of pawsome mousies. I also give each and every new angel that arrives a "Welcome To Heaven" angel mousie.

I would like to thanks Catster fur picking me today and to my dear Earth furiends fur their lovely giftie & rosettes: Sassy & Fam (trophy), Muppet & Fam (crown star), Karisma & Fam (blue rosette), Mercy & Fam (ice cream), Angel Bentley (ice cream), Elsa & Fam (tree), Sampson & Fam (shrimpie). Please know that I'm watching over all of you, but especially sprinkling healing dust over those special kitties that need extra purrrrs & purrayers. Thanks again to my dear furiends who still keep in touch with me and close to their hearts...

I am also excited to see that there is a little member added to my Earth family named Frosty. He is the cutest little White Ragdoll and is a purrry lucky little boy to have such a pawsome home and family... Welcome baby Frosty *blows angel kisses*

Happy 5th Birthday To Daddy Monte!

Today, my daddy, *MONTE'S* is celebrating his 5th Birthday. He was adopted from our Ragdoll breeder after I made my journey on December 8th and Monte was brought home on December 10th. My pawrents decided that adopting him (retired breeder cat) would be a wonderful addition to our home and it would also be extra special to have the legacy of me live on through my daddy. He is such a friendly boy and is always so sweet to my entire family. This is something that I would have wanted and so did my pawrents. He is actually the daddy of me, Cannoli, Karisma & PorkChop... We could see where those kitties got their good looks from *giggles* Mom is bringing him a cuppie cake tonight after work.

Happy Birthday daddy and many more pawsome celebrations to come *sprinkles angel dust*

Wishing Everyone A Purrry Happy Memorial Day!

First of all, I would like to apawologize fur not being as active on Catster lately. We won't want you to get the impression that we no longer care about our special furiend as that is NOT the case. Mom has been busy and then with Catster having a lot of these sudden changes, we had to get ambitious to jump back on... I think a lot of meowmy's feel this way after the Catsterland changes but we'll get use to it, I'm sure.

I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Happy & Safe Memorial Day and may your summer be lots of fun and exciting. Angel Kashmere and I enjoy summertime here at the Bridge with all of our angel furiends along with the yummmy smell of fish cooking on the grill. I saw that Catster was purrry sweet and thoughtful to give us some complimentary gifties fur Memorial Day/summer which will last 7 days. Our pawrents are going to a pawty at dad's sister's so we won't have a chance to send those in return, but please know we will. Mom is off tomorrow so hopes to catch up with everything, if not tonight.

By the way, mom has a surprise waiting fur my siblings but I can't tell you just yet because it's a surprise *giggles* Now what did she get them??? Maybe it's fur Monte's Birthday on June 15th? You'll know soon enough and photos will be posted! Oh, meowmy also bought them a really cool 32" Sisal clawing post from Smarty Cat and they love it.

Sending a warm thanks to the following kitties fur their summertime yummm yummms: Chloe & Fam (flag), Sally "sweet angel" (ice cream), Albie "sweet angel" & Fam (ice cream), Mouse & Fam (melon), Clawdia "angel" & Fam (burger), Rizza & Fam (burger), Tabby "angel" & Fam (burger), Angel Snowflake & Fam (burger), Spotty "angel" & Fam (burger), Sweet Pea & Fam (burger), Wanda & Fam (burger), Willie & Fam (burger), Baby Girl & Fam (burger), Mr D & Fam (burger), Andre' & N'Bikay (burger), Alex & Fam (burger), Calvin "angel" (burger), Ava Corrine & Fam (burger), Rusty & Fam (burger), Shadow "paws" & Fam (hot dog), Biscuit "angel" & Fam (hot dog).

Please always know that my beloved brother Kashmere and I are watching over you each and everyday and we love & miss you purrry much *blows angel kisses*


UPDATE: Just in case we don't get to write your names in our diaries fur the num numms... please know how much we appreciate it. We did our best to thank each and everyone in return with a burger, hot dog, ice cream or melon but sometimes, we fall a bit behind. We will try to keep up with it the best we can. Thanks again fur thinking of us!

Happy Birthday To Our Meowmy (from Heaven)!

Today is a purrry special day as it's our meowmy's 47th Birthday celebration. Last night, daddy took her out fur a delicious dinner and tonight, her sister "auntie" Lillian is taking her out to a Japanese restaurant. Afterwards, they're going back to auntie's fur the big cake celebration and pressies. Hummm... pressies??? Mom told dad to go ahead and watch the games with his buddies since she'll be out with her sister tonight. Dad bought mom a beautiful gift basket of her favorite perfume (Ralph Lauren "Romance" 3.4 oz), along with the shower gel & body cream and cute card. Mom was so excited and couldn't wait to wear it. Actually, he gave it to her last night before they went out to dinner. Guess what??? As some of you may know, daddy is away during the week with a job in Connecticut and he leaves on Monday Morning "purrry early" and arrives back home on Friday. That means he has the entire weekend with mom & siblings. Tomorrow, dad is taking mom to the Casino fur a nice lunch and of course, some of that slot playing. Maybe they'll win millions? Wishful thinking but hey, there's nothing wrong with that.

From Meowmy Barbi: I would like to take this moment to thank all of you for your beautiful Birthday wishes (on Catster and Facebook)... Sending a special thanks My Babies (pink cupcake), Hunter & Fam (big cake), Chris Kizer & Family "Bitta's mom" for the lovely Birthday card, Karisma & Fam (cupcake), Mittens & Fam (rose), Murphy & Fam (tulips) & Margo & Fam (rose). You are such wonderful friends and you have each made my day even more special. Love you lots and thanks again for thinking of me *blows kisses*

I would like to wish my pawsome brother, Cocoa a purrry Happy 15th Birthday today... I am celebrating up here in Heaven with my adorable sister Kashmere who is also celebrating her 1st year Annifursary at the Bridge. I remember welcoming her with open paws when she made her journey just a year ago. I just wanted to let each of you know that Kashy and I are doing well and we've met so many new Angel furiends. Please don't be sad as we will meet again and remember... we're celebrating Cocoa's 15th Birthday today on Earth and that's something to smile about. After all, he's a pawsome kitty and is loved by so many. Actually, Kashmere baked a really delicious cake to help celebrate Cocoa's Birthday and we're having a big pawty with hats, ice cream, balloons, etc. Even though we may not be with you on earth, we're with you in spirit and we Angel's have pawties, too *tosses mousies*

Thanks again fur helping to celebrate Cocoa's Birthday as well as remembering my beautiful sister, Kashmere. You are all so pawsome and I love you lots and please always know that I'm watching over you and of course, your mousies.
