thank you to all my furriends!

Instead of trying to post in all the groups or trying to p-mail everycat that gave me a Febreze Collar, I thought I would just put it here.

So, thank you to all my furriends who thought of me & gave me a collar. It was so hard to keep track of all of them coming in, but wanted you all to know that I appreciate the kindness.

I've been tagged!

I was tagged quite some time ago by my furriend Sammy.
It's the 5 game of tag - I list five great things (about me), and then go and tag five other kitties!

1. I was a pretty laid back and easy going kitty.

2. I was the one in charge at my house.

3. I greeted everyone at the door, friend or foe.

4. I was the one that brought our family together. If there was a "fight", it was me who started it. I would try to beat up on either Chip or Ginngie, but they rarely got into it with each other.

5. I was daddy's boy, from that first time he saw me at the vet. He couldn't resist me!

I tag:

Mr. Pink
Precious
Oingo
Buster
Ginger

Tag!

I got TAGGED by Boingo!

Here are the rules of the game! Each
player starts with seven random facts
about themselves. Cats who are tagged,
need to post in their Diary the rules &
their 7 pawsome facts. Then choose 7
cats to tag and list their names. Don’t
forget to purr them a pmail that they
have been tagged and to read your
Diary or send them a fun Rosette
announcing they've been Tagged!

7 facts about me - ok so some of these I'm repeating from the last time I was tagged...

1. I was a very social kitty, never met a stranger that came to our door.

2. I LOVE our RBK group and all my furriends I've met there. Momma loves it too!

3. I always loved to lay on anything leather, Momma's or Daddy's shoes...it was the best!

4. When Daddy adopted me, I had a bad sneezing problem that eventually went away.

5. When Daddy adopted me, he hadn't had a cat, but when he saw me he just knew I had to come live with him.

6. I was pretty good about taking the medicine I had to take near the end. Once I had taken it, I realized how it made the pain go away.

7. I used to sleep beside Momma in bed. One night she knocked me off when she moved the covers! MOL

ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS!!

ok, we've seen several versions of this game! So, I'm gonna kinda improvise!

1. I want all sick kitties to get better & spend a happy holiday with their pawrents.
2. I want my little guardian angel kitty (I'm a guardian over him), Romeo to find a furrever home.
3. I want my family to have a happy & safe Christmas.
4. I want my brothers & little sister to get all the treats & toys that their little hearts desire.
5. I want all my Bridge furriends to have a happy holiday & watch over their earth families to keep them safe.
6. I want to spend a happy holiday with my sweet girl, Precious.


now, I'll send this to 5 kitties that I'd like to share their Christmas wishes. But, I don't expect them to do it. It's hard for our pawrents to find the time.

Mr. Pink
Precious
Manya
Ginger

I am thankful...

for so many things....

thankful that Daddy saw me at the vet that day & decided he had to have me. He gave me the most wonderful home & family.

I am thankful for my brothers Chip & Ginngie. They were great playmates & buddies.

I am thankful for Momma & Daddy taking such good care of me when I was sick. They did everything they could for me, including making the most loving decision they could when I could no longer take the pain.
I love them so much & am so thankful they found the strength to do that.

I am thankful for all my furriends I've found here at the Bridge and Catster. My beautiful girl Precious, my good buddies, Albert, Ginger, Mr. Pink, Gizmo, Buster, T C....and my new furriend Lucky. There are many more.

I am thankful for anyone who is able to read this too!

Purrs & hugs, Sparky

Poem for Cats

My buddy Ginger posted this at RBK. I had to put it here in my diary so Momma could come back & read it whenever she wanted to.


Poem For Cats

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Where has the time gone?

Seems like only yesterday that I was at home playing with my brothers, not a care in the world. Ok, maybe there was a care...I was hiding something from my momma & daddy. They found out about it, but I hid it for too long. I was sick & they couldn't do anything to help me...as much as they tried. So a year ago, November 9th....I came to the Bridge.

I was kinda scared, 'cause I didn't really know what was gonna happen. Momma & Daddy tried to explain it to me, that I would get so see Great Grandma, my cousin Holly, they named all kinds of humans & animals alike. So, I was relaxed, somewhat. I knew that I would no longer have this pain. I could act like a kitten again. What was there not to look forward to?

Well, I found out. I didn't know what it was going to do to my family that I left behind. I tried to go back to comfort them. Ginngie & Chip knew I was there. I had to go back for them 'cause, although it may sound strange, they needed me to help them get thru the fact that I wasn't coming home. They knew, I told them and they stood guard over me the night before I was coming here to the Bridge (there's a pic on my page). But they didn't realize how much different it would be without me in the house.

Well, once I realized how much everyone missed me, I was on a mission to send a kitten or a cat to my family to help ease their pain. It took me some time, but I finally found the right family....and found the connection that would introduce them to my momma. It worked & Maggie was brought into the family. I knew this was gonna happen, but just 2 weeks later, Rudy, her littermate, joined the family.

So, here I am, 1 year later...at the Bridge, watching over my family to make sure that they aren't remembering just my passing, but what I brought to their lives. I know they remember all the wonderful times we had, I just want them to remember that more than the sad times.

Please don't be sad for me. I am happy here. I am healthy & no longer in pain. I know that's what you wanted for me.

For anyone who reads this, please purr with me for my family on Friday. Momma knows it will be a tough one on Daddy, but I'm not sure she knows how she will react to this day. She sure acts strong, but sometimes she just needs to not be.

Purrs & hugs to everyone, Sparky

5 months at The Bridge

WOW! Can you believe I've been here 5 months? I sure can't.
And neither can Momma. Everytime this day of the month rolls around she looks at the calendar & remembers that day....

Momma says it must've been the right day...it was a beautiful November day, the sun was shining and the air was warm.

She & daddy both knew that it was the right thing. I wasn't myself, I had lost so much weight, I just kinda laid around. I did spend time with my brothers though, they knew what was happening....and they knew it was time too.

That day they didn't know about Rainbow Bridge...or petloss.com....or Catster. They kept telling me who all I was going to be with, Great Grandma, our old dog Ralph, our guinea pig, Spazzie, my dog-cousin Holly....I know they were just trying to help me and even though I was scared, I was so tired.

Now that I'm here...and Momma found petloss.com, it really helps us all a lot. I know Momma really misses me and Daddy really does too. He can hardle get through a candle ceremony on Monday nights, even though I try to comfort him. Momma thinks she deals with it maybe kinda better because of all my Catster friends...and it makes her happy to know that I am happy. She still looks at pictures of me from right before I came her & it makes her so sad to see the sadness & pain in my eyes. She knows that I am no longer in pain.

I've missed so many things with my family....Christmas, New Year's, Valentine's Day & now Easter. I know they think about me all the time & especially miss me on holidays.

I just hope that they know I miss them too & that one day we will be together again. We'll all be healthy & happy, together.

Just my thoughts on my last 5 months.

Purrs & Snuggly hugs, Sparky
