A day or two ago a dear furriend, Oly wrote the following in Hazel Lucy's purr thread:
"We are purring for everycat/dog who is not doing well. We try to send a rosie to all those we are purring for, but sometimes that's just not possible. But please know we are always purring for you all!
We are so thankful for this list, because it actually helps mom feel "useful" on here.
We thank all of you who are purring right along with us."
And I wanted to share my reply to her here as well, because I truly meant it:
"Oly & everypurr....you ARE useful sweeties! Simply coming here and posting a purr helps so much - and I think you only realise it when you or one of your furblings are on the list. I know we felt so much better when Scottie had a lip ulcer a while ago by coming here and feeling the power of the purr.
It means so much to worried meowmies and daddies to know that they are not alone and forms a beautiful blanket of care to envelope them in, weaved with threads of love and purrs. And of course Hazel Lucy is the gentle paws that puts this special blankie around your shoulders.
We luv all of you! "
So purrlease when you have a minute to spare, visit the Catsters in need of serious purring thread to join in the circle of purrs and the power of the paw ~ it can work miracles not only in kitties but to soothe worried meowmies and daddies.
Some days are happy when a kitty or doggie is better, and some are sad when one gets a bad diagnosis or leaves us for the bridge - but each day is worth it.
Dear, big-hearted and much loved Hazel Lucy updates the list (which can be found in the first post of the thread) each day, and I send out a HUGE hug to her for her hard work! She is an earth angel!
Always purring,
Snowy

Yes! A year ago yesterday, 30 June, was the wonderful day I became Mrs. Snowy Ciatti by marrying me beloved Martin!! I am a day late in this entry because meowmy was so busy yesterday - but I thought and dreamt of my beloved the whole day!
I can't believe it....a whole year of love, happiness, warmth, care and pure joy - I couldn't have asked for a more purrfect husband!!
Martin - I love you always and forever my soulcat...with every fibre of my furry being!! I can't wait to spend the rest of my lives with you - I know the best is yet to come!
And thanks to Catster for bringing us together....I am so glad I found this site where I met the love of my life!
*happy purrs*

...of a very special woman. Today my diary is dedicated in the memory of Laurel Jaffer, meowmy to one of my oldest, dearest furriends Aldo, his sifur Tess and his doggy furbling Noelle. Aldo always called me Snowstorm, and Noelle loved to lick me...
I cannot begin to write it as perfectly as my sweet furriend Hannah's meowmy did, but my meowmy will try.
* * *
I wanted to write this yesterday (thursday), but just couldn't bring myself to do it....I never imagined how deeply the loss of Laurel would affect me. But then she was a special, strong woman, and one couldn't help but be affected by her touching your life. And seeing her memorial picture and the posts all over catster today has made me cry so much - Laurel would have been so touched and I think maybe even surprised...she always thought that she wasn't a loved person, that she had only a few friends - oh how very wrong she was. I hope she sees all of the love and smiles.
As Hannah's mom already stated in her diary, Laurel was a complex person and anyone who was truly her friend would understand what we mean by this. But this didn't make me love her less - having known her background and what she had went through and was still going through, I understood.
Amongst other things, Laurel was a gourmet cook, a gifted writer, a great photographer (examples can be seen here) and more... She was so talented, extremely intelligent (she had a master's degree) and such a fighter... the only problem was that her poor, tired body couldn't keep up with her mind or spirit. Knowing that she has now been freed of her prison of pain is a great comfort to me.
I know she is also with her beloved rainbow bridge cats, especially Tabitha who was her favourite...and she will be there for Aldo, Tess and Noelle when the time comes too. Her furbabies were her life, and I know they must miss her terribly as well...
I will miss you, Laurel....the good and the bad, the chats about food, literature, speciality coffees and teas, your concerns about Aldo's health and Noelle's weight, the simple line "brb - litterbox" which always made me giggle, oh and remember the day that you finally felt so much better, and got dressed up and put make up on for the doctor for the first time in ages? You did it while we chatted, asking me this skirt or that one? Tights or pantihose? You sounded so much better, and I was so happy because it sounded like a breakthrough and I know you felt so much better...was that truly only 2 months ago?
Rest in peace, my dear friend...till we meet again.
Love always,
Carli

Oh my!! What an exciting day this has been!! Meowmy and daddy left this morning, saying that they are going to the post office. When they returned, they had a big package and a smaller one, BOTH for me!!!
I was so excited, I couldn’t wait for meowmy to open them!! The first, big one was my hand-made cat tent, made byTeal'c's, meowmy! She also sent meowmy themost beautiful cat cards that she makes! All of the money she makes goes towards her kitties – and they are a big furrmily, and most of tehm are rescues!! Teal’c brofur Moo, had to have surgery, so the money of our tent was going towards that!
The next package was from my wonderpurr husband and love, Martin !!! I was such a happy kitty when I saw it!!! Inside was three cans of Fancy Feast – two of them medleys, which is not available here in South Africa yet! He also sent me the sweetest card with three meowvolous photos of him, so now I can stare at his pictures even when I am not online!! But the best part was my GORGEOUS necklace
!!!! It is sooo beautiful – the chain is made from little hearts that are interlinked, and it has a lovely silver filigree heart with a purrty red heart hanging from it! Further, it has tiny crystal flowers too!! I LOVE IT!!!! And it is just my size…Martin’s kind meowmy made it for me, to Martin’s specifications!!
So what a happy day!! Of course I had to have a photoshoot right away to show of my great purresents!! Thank you Teal’c and my love Martin!!!

Oh this is most wonderpurr and exciting!!!! Myself, Queenie and Toby have volunteered to be mentors at the 'adopt a dogster/catster' group!!
This means that we will be assigned kitties who need guidance or who are new or who would simply like a mentor/big brofur/sisfur!!! Then we can help them find their feet, help purrty up their pages, make furriends or simply just BE there for them and show them that they are special!!
The group is http://www.dogster.com/group/June_07_adopt_a_dogstercatster_ event-8605 and anypurr is welcome to become a mentor or to request a mentor!
I am just too excited and can't wait for a kitty to be assigned to me!!! Yay!

I’ve been tagged!!! This is a new meme game doing the rounds on Catster and it is furrtastic!! And to my surprise, I was tagged by a few kitties too!!!

Shwizz
Ted E. Bear aka Bear

The rules:
Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write on their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don’t forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.
My seven random facts:
1. I am smitten with the handsome and meowvolous Martin, my fiancé!!
2. I like baths! MOL…you read right! Ahhh…that shampoo massage is the best!
3. My favourite thing is to be carried around like a baby by meowmy, and to sleep under the covers between her and daddy.
4. I am scared of watermelons. I am fine with vacuums, dogs, etc...but put a watermelon down somewhere and I will hiss at it and walk circles around it MOL!
5. I have caught - to meowmy's horror - a gecko, grasshoppers and once a birdie.
6. My favourite Fancy Feast flavour is savoury salmon. Yum!!
7. I think Black Cats Crossing our Paths is the best group on Catster, and I just adore all the black beauties there!! Thanks to Ashley Jay for starting it!! We are currently 1200+ members strong and I am proud to be an admin!!!! I just HAD to get that off my chest! : )
