My dear sweeties....

Today is the first time I have been able to come here and type since we let you all know about my journey to the bridge. It has not been easy for meowmy, even though she knew this day was coming...I flutter down to her so often while she is asleep and sometimes I see her pillow is wet...does she not realise I am with her still? And that I have no pain and am young and able again?

I was greeted by so many sweet furriends...my beloved Julesy, oh such a wonderpurr reunion, darling Catsy, Biscuit, Navin, Amelia & Hugo, Wally & Sydney Rose, oh so so many more...a sea of furry furriends waiting with open paws and gentle nosekisses.

I was watching just now as meowmy finally had the heart to take a look at the pm's and rosies I have received....oh and both her & I were so deeply moved by each and every message. We appreciate it so much, dear sweet furriends. In time I will thank each of you purrsonally, it is just a bit hard still...I hope you all understand.

I need to fly back up now, it's time for us to go spread some angel dust and purr for those in need...good bye my dear sweet furriends, I luv you all so furry much.

*and with one last flutter close to meowmy's wet cheeks Queenie flies back to the bridge to join all the other sweet angels*

Meowlo all my dear furriends!

Dear furriends.

Firstly I would like to apologize on behalf of myself and my whole furrmily for being away from Catster for a while. Meowmy had some things she had to deal with and to boot I got sick twice as well.

I also wanted you all to know that the vet lady told meowmy that my age seems to be catching up to me – my kidneys are enlarged, I have lost quite a bit of weight, I sleep even more and a few other issues also. The good news is that I don’t have diabetes or anything similar, which is meowvolous of course!

Meowmy has decided that she isn’t going to think negative, and is going to love me as much as she possibly can for as long as I possibly can. I am comfortable, sweeties, and I still have quite an appetite and come looking for my livings – so my Queenie spirit is still going strong!

Purrlease also purr for my dear furriend Ginnger, fondly known as Ginngie, who is also a senior fellow - I luv you Ginngie and I know you have another life or two in you yet!

Purrs & luv,
Queenie

The best gifties in life...

...are free! Oh how true this is, and my special birthday gifts are just that.

The first is the gift of having Catsy's diary as the diary of the day, with her sweet picture on the homepage. I can't look at it too much as my eyes still tear up! But thank you HQ for this wonderpurr gift!

The second gift is YOU reading this - my special furriends, my catster furrmily! We have met so many wonderpurr purrsons on this site, and it has truly changed our lives. No-one but a catster can understand the bond and the love, the support and the meowvolousness that is catster!

I also wanted to meow out a special thank you to my sweet furriend Alfie for my purrfect birthday picture and background! You and your furrmily have a special place in my heart!

Also to dear Gizzy, angel Maxy and their meowmy, for the sweet sentiments - you are all making me teary! *giggles*

Who could ask for a more purrfect sweet 16? I luv you, dear furriends...

Purrs and luv,
Queenie

A special life is now a special angel - ILM of Catsy

I am devastated this morning because I just found out that a very special girl, a sweet furriend, Catsy, has crossed the rainbow bridge.

She and her pawrents are an inspiration - a story of second chances, kindness and the power of the purr...and most of all of love.

Rest in peace sweetie, your purrfect soul will be with us all furever...

A very sad
Queenie

PS: Purrlease check out Rizza's Diary...but be sure to have a tissue handy! Thank you for passing along Catsys letter, sweetie...

A year ago today...

My heart was breaking into a million little pieces. It was the day my beluved Julesy (Jules Vern / JV to his furriends) left this earth for a better place after a long and very courageous battle with VAS.

Although I can now think of him with a smile in happy remembrance instead of only sad tears, I still tear up ever so often...but then I remind myself that he is still with me - and I can feel him. I feel him in the rays of sun on my face, I feel him in the gentle breeze that ruffles my fur, I feel him in the luv of Catster and the support that is still going strong a year later and always will, since the memories of those we luv last forever...

My Julesy, my luv, you will always have my heart and my soul and I know you will be there with open paws one day when the time comes for me to cross the bridge...I luv you so much and I hope your meowmy feels all the luv today too, because I can not imagine how difficult it must be for her if this is how I feel! We luv her too, and we will purr for her for strenght...

Thank you so much for everypurr on Catster for your continued support and luv, and for having the second annual Jules Vern Brusselball tournament yesterday - it means more than I can ever say, sweeties!

Luv & purrs,
Queenie

*wiping happy tears*

Just look at my newest gift....and my message...

"My sweet Queenie... I should have given this to you so purrrry long ago... And one day I hope we can but will you take this ring and pawmise to one day be my kitty wife *blush* I love you sweet lady... Yours always Julesy"

I....I am speechless....except for YES YES my Julesy YES! I purromise!!! I luv you so much and always will....you are my special luv, my soulkitty....

*hurries off to her basket to take out the box of buggies Julesy delivered one night long ago....holds them to her heart and closes her eyes*

Sad news - purrs purrlease!

Purrlease purr and purray for dear Simon ...he has been given about a week to live after his last vet visit and he and his meowmy are trying to make the most of their last time together...so join me in purring for the power of love and for strenght for his meowmy...

Another purrr request is for dear sweet Annie, who has gone missing :( Her brofur Rusty is one of my special furriends and my heart is breaking for her furrmily! Purrlease come home soon Annie! Help light her way by lighting a candle HERE *purrr purrr purr*

And on another more personal note...

I just checked to see who of my furriends are online....and noticed for the first time that my IM status was set on invisible! I don't know how long it has been like that and I don't know how it happened!

I have missed my morning chats with Tick and his sisfur P3! They must think I am avoiding them! *eyes tear up* I would never ever do that and I am so sorry!! I wondered what happened to them because I haven't heard from them in ages but now I think it must be because of this! I know their meowmy and some of the kits were sick a while ago but they must be better by now...I hope they still want to be my furriends...

Oh sweeties....you know I luv you and would never ignore you or try and avoid you! *wiping at eyes with paws*

The same goes for everypurr else that might have wanted to IM one of our furrmily....purrlease forgive us we luv you!

Sad purrs,
Queenie

PS: Just wanted to send some luv to my dear furriend Wally...keep on staying your special self, sweetie....I luv you lots and am always here for you!

A new furriend :)

I am so catcited! One of our favourite furrmilies's meowmy does fostering, and they have a new addition! A highly pregnant meowmy named Sweetie!! As everyone knows, that is one of my favourite words *giggles*

And it suits her...she is SO sweet! Stop by her page and take a peek....and keep watching because she is having the kits any day now!

Hmm....my guess is 6 kittens, 2 girls and 4 boys! Let's wait and see....

Purrs and luv,
Queenie

I'm a celebricat! *blush*

Oh my cat! Look at the pic my sweet furriend Wally took while flying past the NY museum of MA! It is the second pic on my page *giggles*

And he writes: "Not surprised, we all think you are a work of art!" *blushes and giggles more*

Oh Wally sweetie...you don't know what it means not only to hear from you, but that you have cheered me up! I have been a bit sad because I miss my Julesy so much...his meowmy has been busy and they have not been on catster for about 2 months...

So thank you for letting me know that I am a celebricat! MOL! Luv you!

Purrs and luv to everypurr!

A day of luv....and a bit of sadness

Meowlo dear furriends!

What a day Valentine's was! Luv and happiness everywhere, and so many happy couples bringing a smile to this old lady's face!

Yet it wasn't a day without sadness....two of my Olde Furt furriends are sick. Sweet and purrty Cybil is showing signs of old age, and my heart breaks when I read her diary - I luv you sweetie, and hope you have many more good days rather than bad, and purray that you can feel the summer sun on your fur again - I just know you will!
The other dear furriend is Isaac, fellow Queen and such a wonderpurr guy....he found out that he has aggressive, inoperable cancer and his latest entry has me in tears - it seems he has only a month or so to live :( BUT I will keep on purring, and just know that my stylish furriend will prove them wrong and hold on for a bit longer!

I luv you two both - so furry much! *wipes at eyes*

And then......

I miss my Julesy. Plain and simple. I know his meowmy has been so busy with her work that she doesn't have time to type for him, PB2 and Callie, (they have been gone from Catster since before Christmas) but it doesn't make my longing for him less. I was hoping and purrring and hoping some more that he would be able to at least come on today, this day of luv, and let me know that he is ok...but it wasn't to be. So this old lady is so lonely....and sad....and I keep blowing him kissies to the clouds, and just purray that he gets them and feels my luv for him burning as bright as always...and I keep on closing my eyes when I feel the sun on my fur, knowing that he is there with me, in my heart.

Luv to all my dear furriends, I luv you sweeties - and I purr for luv, happiness and health for you all....
