Arrival Story:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Grief stricken after my sweet Abby went to Rainbow Bridge, I had no plans to get another cat. There's a saying, *the former cat sends the new cat* -- my angel Abby definitely had other plans for me! One month after Abby went to the Bridge, I learned that a friend was dying from cancer and desperately seeking a home for her two cats. It was only a few days after I learned of their plight that I made up my mind to adopt them. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ This is Kaci Sunshine's third home. A friend of mine adopted Kaci and her sister Mittens when they were a little over 1 year old. They lived with her for 8 years. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bio:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaci is my little sunshine girl. She's a sweet, affectionate snuggle-bug who is blessed with a sunny and happy disposition. She adores attention and loves being fussed over. In addition to being very outgoing and friendly, she's super-curious about everything! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kaci was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism in December 2008. She is taking medication and doing very well. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Her Birthday is May 1, 1996 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Her Gotcha Day is January 29, 2006 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A Cat's MEOW by Kaci Sunshine


Goodbye Rocky Ann


February 7th 2010 9:30 am
[ Leave A Comment | 3 people already have ]

With great sadness and in tears, we say goodbye to another good friend. We learned this morning that Rocky Ann is an angel. Rocky Ann is one of the loveliest and friendliest cats on Catster: always kind and thoughtful, funny and creative and unique in a very special way. Quite simply, she is all that is best about Catster and it will never be the same place without her.

Rocky Ann’s mommy wrote about her final hours in a beautiful diary entry that left mommy bawling. It was a time of gentle peace and deep love as she and her parents quietly said their goodbyes. Blessedly, Rocky Ann had a very peaceful transition to the Bridge. She was a great blessing in her parents’ lives and they loved her dearly. We can only imagine how sad and brokenhearted with pain and grief her parents are. We send them our love, purrs, condolences and comforting hugs.

Rest in peace, Rocky Ann. We love you and will miss you!

Sad purrs,
Kaci, Miss Mittens & mommy


Was the mystery bird a vulture?

Thanks to my friend Mei Li’s comment on my diary entry suggesting the enormous mystery bird might be a vulture, mommy searched online for pictures of vultures. When she saw a picture of a turkey vulture (aka turkey buzzard) standing with its wings spread, she said “that’s it!”

The article said turkey vultures live in groups near open or semi-open spaces and eat dead or dying animals. We live in a very populated area and this buzzard was alone on the front lawn of a house in a crowded suburban neighborhood in the middle of the day. Guess it can eat road kill like squirrels and ‘possums and little critters but that bird was so big one of those little critters could be no more than a snack. As my friend Ishtar commented, this winter many wild animals have been seen where they normally aren’t. The weather south of us has been very bad this year. We’re in the middle of a blizzard right now and down to the south of us it’s much worse. Perhaps hunger and bad weather drove this bird up north?

Now, please don’t laugh at my mommy! She’s a city girl and has never seen a vulture of any kind before today. When grandma, who grew up in the country on a farm, said it might be a vulture, that seemed so alien to mommy that she had less trouble believing it was a turkey or rooster and someone's pet! Anyway, if that was a vulture mommy saw yesterday, she can stop worrying about it because it can certainly take care of itself!

Still wish I could have had a peek at it!

Hugs,
Kaci

What the heck was that?!

In the "what the heck was that?" category . . .

Mommy went shopping this morning. What she came home, she told me something amazing she’d seen. She said I would have been fascinated by it but very frightened too.

As mommy was driving down our street coming home, she saw something strange on someone’s front lawn. And it was moving. She knew it wasn’t a dog and slowed down to look. It looked like a huge bird, the largest she’d ever seen! What the heck was it? At first she thought it was an enormous hawk but no, it was way too big to be a hawk. Then it turned and spread its wings and mommy saw that it was a very large ROOSTER or perhaps a TURKEY? She isn’t sure which but it was either one of the two. What the heck is a rooster or turkey doing running around on a front lawn in our suburban neighborhood? How I wish I could have seen it too!

Mommy debated what to do. She thought with the snow coming, the bird might freeze from the cold. She thought about getting out of the car and ringing the doorbell at the house. But she was too afraid of the bird to do that (MOL!) She thought about calling the wildlife refuge. The last time she did that was when she saw an injured hawk in our back yard. By the time the man got there, the bird was gone. They spent over half an hour looking for it and didn’t find it. (A week later, mommy saw the hawk a few blocks away, dead on the curb). Mommy had to give the man a $50 “donation.” So mommy decided to keep on driving and came home.

Humans often have very strange pets. This didn’t seem to be a “wild” rooster or turkey (like you'd know the difference mommy? - haha!) and is probably someone’s pet bird (and hopefully NOT someone’s dinner!) It probably got loose from wherever his humans keep him. Mommy decided to let the neighbors down the road deal with the bird and came home. She’s praying that it will be home safe before the snow starts.

Have a great weekend effuryone!

Hugs,
Kaci
