Three month anniversary of my death.

It was three months ago today that I passed away from the Earth. Mom misses my sweet mini-nosekisses and my back massages. She misses me sitting behind her on the couch and our conversations. I have been sprinkling angel dust all over the family. Our new family member, Don Genaro, gives her nosekisses and nose bites!!! He is a character. I've also made sure that she gets some back massages.

I've been watching over Cauliflower. She has had so many changes with me and Fiesta Cat dying. I have helped her through the transition to a new family member. She's been handling it pretty well. She's a sweet girl, and is starting to share some of the sweetness with Don Genaro. She took such wonderful care of me and FC!!

Thanks to the Rainbow Bridge kitties and for all the welcomes and great lessons on how to be an angel kitty! I think I look beautiful in my wings.

Happy New Year to my Catster friends

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my Catster friends! Thank you for sending comfort to my mom and thinking of her following my passing.

Mom says that it has been a quiet holiday season without me there. She remembers all the wonderful times that she had with me, and is thankful for the memories. She knows that I am always there with her in spirit.

lessons learned from Zuni

Note from Mom:

I am so fortunate that Zuni picked me and shared her 9 years with me. She brought so much laughter and joy to our lives.

Note from Mom to Zuni

Dearest Zuni,
I miss you so much. It has been 11 days since you passed from this worl. I miss your little nosekisses, your headbutts, your massages, and you hanging out on the couch with me. I miss your talking, and your always watching me. You were such a sweet girl--always watching out for me.

I'm glad that your last month was a good one. I'm sorry for any discomfort or pain that you had to feel at the end. I would have done anything to help you, and I'm sorry that I was unable to.

I hope you know that I love you dearly. I'm glad that I was able to hold you the last 30 hours of your life. You were loyal and sweet to the very end.

As Daddy told you, we will definitely see you again some day. You are in our hearts always. I love you!

Pets and headbutts,
Mom

Watching over the family

Dear Friends,
I've been watching over the family. They've sure needed it! Fiesta Cat has been using the whole house as a litter box. I don't think there's a spot that he hasn't missed! Cauliflower threw up a hairball on my pawrent's bed. Mom has come down with a cold.

They'll be o.k. I'm watching over them and reminding them that I am taking care of them. FC is now peacefully sleeping on his heating pad. Cauliflower is hanging out by her cardboard scratching boards. She now has a "double wide" scratching board because my old one is sitting next to hers. Mom definitely has a cold, but she will heal.

Mom has started a journal to write about me. Dad wrote his own words in there for me today. The emergency vet and my regular vet have sent beautiful sympathy cards. The techs wrote that I was sweet, beautiful, and spunky!

Thank you

Thank you for all the sweet pmails and rosettes. I haven't been able to get back to you individually yet. It means a lot to me and my mom to have so many carrying furiends.

Quiet house

Mom keeps changing my photos around on my page. She loves looking at the pics and thinking of my sweet face. Mom feels that it's really quiet in the house without me. She says that I lit up the house, and it seems really dark without me.

Fiesta Cat is keeping Mom busy. His yowling keeps everything from being too quiet. LOL. He's now reminding her that it's dinnertime. It was only a few days ago that I was joining him in the food vigil. I loved to talk to Mom as she got my food ready. She would keep telling me that I shouldn't worry and that the food was on the way!!

It's very lonely for her on the couch. She is so used to have me next to her all the time. She also misses my massages on her shoulders.

From Mom to Zuni

Dearest Zuni,
I am missing you so much today. I just want you to know that I love you dearly, with all of my heart. I am so sorry that you weren't feeling well, and that your little body gave out on you. You will always be a part of me and a part of our lives. You will always be with us, even though your physical body is gone. Enjoy your time at the Rainbow Bridge, and we will be with you again.
Till then,
All my love,
Mom

Note from the bridge

Hi, Friends.
I could feel all of your wonderful purrs and good thoughts as I passed on to the bridge. It was wonderful to see all my angel friends who were waiting for me to help me with my crossing. I was able to spend my last 30 hours in my mom's arms. I stayed with her all night last night. I wasn't really able to sleep, but I stayed in her arms.

Mom & Dad had to make a very tough decision to help make my passing easier for me. Mom prayed that she would know when the time was right, and she believes that she did. I was just so tired after 5 seizures today. I finally was able to go to sleep because I became so tired. I stayed cradled in Mom's arms. I wasn't upset on the car ride to the vet, or at the vet's office. I was so sleepy at that moment, and my soul was ready to pass. Mom and Dad decided that I would be better off they were to put me to sleep, because the seizures were really bad. They talked to four different vets. They all thought that the cancer had gotten the best of me, and that it was time to ease my passing.

Mom and Dad are very upset, of course. I brought so much love into their lives. Of course, I will always be with them.
