Jewel of California!

Thank you!

Hi Everyone,

Jewel's mummy here....I just wanted to thank all of you for your purrmails, rosettes, stars & poems....it's very hard to deal with the fact that Jewel's really gone, but I'm trying to take it all one day at a time.....I don 't know if I'm going to be able to respond to each of you personally, I don't think I can read the emails again without crying uncontrollably....I did want to say that I appreciate every kind word and I'm happy to know that Jewel was very loved by all of you and that you've all been very purrsome friends to her!!!

Thank You,
JEWEL's mummy

Goodbye World, Hello Rainbow Bridge....

Hello Fellow Catsters,

This is going to be MY last journal entry - my mummy will take over after tomorrow....

It has come to my attention that my failing health has now caught up with me & the time has come for me to leave this world & cross over to the Rainbow Bridge! I'm excited to go yet sad to leave my home of 15 years.....

For quite sometime, my diabetes has spiraled up & then down, then back up again only to come back down, but then back up again....it's a never ending ride....recently I've had other health issues that just added to my already delicate health....obviously nothing is else can be done for me... and me, my mummy & my vet think it's best that I leave this world now (actually tomorrow afternoon!). I'm being a brave kitty because I know my mummy & her daughter LOVE me so much that they want me around forever...but unfortunately I think my 9 lives have ended here....I've had a PURRFECT life - I mean, it's been 15 years, 2 months & i believe 13 days, don't know about the hours, minutes & seconds, but I won't go there! MOL! I've been pampered & I couldn't have asked for anything more!! I can't believe I've outlived all the other cats in my hood!

Anyways, so tomorrow I'm going to say goodbye to my mummy & her daughter and start my new journey to a place where there's LOTS of catster friends, TONS of catnip to sniff & roll around in, tons of food buffets to feast on, no health complications of any kind or human veterinarians, no medications whatsoever, and where I can sit and watch over my mummy & her daughter!

Okay, so I'm told I don't need to pack anything since everything I will need will be on the other side....I'm going to look for Gracie & all my other catster friends that have gone before me....so look out for me, I'll be the one with the stylin LION haircut & the BIG PUFF at the end of my tail :)!!! I wanna see everything & do everything at least ONCE on the first day!!

So all you Catster furriends that I leave behind, please look out for my mummy & her daughter, I know that they are very broken up about me leaving and right now there are no words of comfort for them, but please keep them in your prayers....I know mummy will be on here sometime soon to see that she's not alone!

I love you Mummy!! I may not physically be here with you, but I am in spirit!!!!

Purrs & Kisses,
Love,
JEWEL!!!!

My Kitty Time-Out....

my mummy still puts the cone on my head so that I won't lick my feet...apparently it's going to take longer for my boo-boo's to heal because my diabetes complicates my healing process....

i wear the cone for 12 hours then mummy takes it off my head and wraps my 2 hind feet in gauze and something that looks like ace-bandages....i try to flick them off - but apparently it's stuck to my feet until mummy takes them off....and then after 12 hours, i wear my cone again.....ugh.....back and forth.....

i've been banished from mummy's bedroom because apparently she doesn't trust me in the hallway (since i always manage to leave a mark!)....i'm only allowed in the living room, dining room & kitchen...that's okay cuz i leave 'my mark' so mummy will definately see it....she can't miss it!!!

anyways, i'm back on my insulin shots twice daily, get glucose readings 3 times a day and still on epakitin 3 times day....i'm getting tired of being poked & wrapped & coned!!!! make it stop........heeeh heeeh, no vet visits for awhile - whew!!!

til next time...

Purrs & Kisses,
Love,
jewel
