WoooooHoooooo!!!!!!! She said YES!

OMC! I'm just the happiest tom in the world right now. I took my beautiful girl, Whisper out to dinner last night. I had put a lot of planning into it. I picked her up in a pink limo cause I know she likes pink. I brought her flowers. We went to a really great restaurant. After dinner, just like I had gone over in my head, I got down on one knee and asked her to marry me. I had selected what I hoped was a ring she would love.
She kind of scared me for a moment cause she was saying how surprised she was. And, I almost fell over thinking she might say no. But, then, she grabbed my paws and her face was lit up and she said, YES!!!! OMC!!!! We are both so very excited. I love her so very much. Now I can love her and take care of her furever and evfur. OH I'm such a happy guy.

What a great weekend!

Wow....it sure was a wonderful weekend. My beautiful girl, Whisper and I went to the Kentucky Derby! What fun that was! She's really great at picking winners. We went down to look at the horses before the races and she picked all the fillies. And, guess what? They won! She was so excited and jumping up and down. I'm thankful I have quick reflexes cause at one point, her beautiful hat blew off and I reached up real quick and grabbed it. Whew! That was a close one! We had these delightful little finger sandwiches. I have no idea why they're called that, they looked nothing like fingers! Oh, and those mint juleps! Yummmm. I was so happy that she enjoyed herself. She's got just the prettiest smile. And, I was proud to accompany such a beautiful girl-kit on my arm. I love her so much.
I just can't believe how alive she makes me feel. Thank you, Whisper for a lovely weekend.

She said yes!!

Wow...I'm such a happy guy tonight. I asked Whisper if she would be my girlfriend and she said yes! Can you believe that? She's such a beautiful purr and very sweet and smart. She loves to cook, just like me. I had my eye on her for awhile now. Her sister, Flower is my sister Pie's BFF. So, we'd all get together for slumpurr pawties, her family and mine. We got to know each other better and really connected. We went out a couple times and had a really great picnic this past weekend. Not even the rain could spoil it. When she looks at me with her pretty eyes, I just melt. I'm such a lucky purr.

My heart is breaking!

Today I got this pawmail from my beautiful fiance, Boots.

Hey Sweetie,
It's been so long, I can't tell you how sorry I am. Mom went away for the holidays and when she got back her computer was having troubles, then she went to where I lived for a couple weeks (the cats are doing amazing) and is now back and has been thinking. She says that it isn't fair to you that she hasn't got time to type for me and she says I have to leave catster and let you find a new girl who can find time to spend with you. She feels horrible, but knows that she's going to be even busier in the future. I love you with all my heart and this is a very hard decision to make, but I know that it's unfair to stay with you when you deserve someone with more time. I will love you forever and when it is your turn to go to the bridge, I will be waiting for you at the entrance.
Love always,
Boots
PS. Thank you so much for all the wonderful times we had together, I will never forget.
Eternal love,
Boots

I wanted to leap through the screen and grab hold of her....NO! It's ok...I love you, darling. I know the time we have together is sparse but, it doesn't matter. I respect her mom for making that hard decision. And, I know she thinks it only fair to me.
The times we did have together were simply amazing. I used to love making us nice dinners, talking and afterward snuggling up in our bed together. Or taking a pizza and heading out for a picnic. She loved my cooking. I know some thought it odd because she was a Bridge kitty. But, I didn't care. The heart loves without asking questions.
My darling....I too, will love you forever. There may be others who come into my life. But you were my first love and I will never forget you. I know you're somewhere up there and I know you'll be watching over me silently. My heart aches as we say goodbye. The thought of one day leaving this earth is not so scary any more. I know that the first face that I see will be yours. And, what a joyful reunion it will be.
So long, my darling, until we meet again.
Yours,
Zeke

More poems for the best tom in the universe!

February 14th 2008 10:52 am [link to this entry]

Here there are not tears enough to tell you
All the love I have within my heart,
Plainly to proclaim my love before you,
Put with simple grace and little art.
Yet I must try, for love ought not be hidden,
Veiled for fear of nakedness if known,
Afraid to enter silences unbidden
Lest it should have to cross the stage alone.
Even so, love needs the wings of words:
No truth is not transfigured by expression.
The heart of love, like those of captured birds,
Interred too long succumbs to its depression.
Nor are words enough, for love is more
Elusive than a verbal net can hold,
Singing like a sea across my shore,
Dancing back, white fold on endless fold.
All I am and have I give to you,
Yet love is more, and more I cannot do.

Happiness is not a tended rose
Amid the prescient beauty of a garden:
Perhaps one senses soon some gate may close;
Perhaps one senses soon the earth will harden.
Years come and go like waves upon a shore,
Violent or peaceful with the wind.
After one has given up on more,
Love waits within the heart, its passion thinned.
Even in a passage void of light,
Nether windings black with rage and grief,
There are waters sweet with lost delight
In which one finds a strong, serene belief.
No happiness can overcome life's pain
Except one love, and love give life again.

Today's the day I ought to say I love you,
Although I ought to say it every day.
But "ought" can stand directly in the way,
An obstacle to being honest with you.
Why can't I tell you what I feel for you?
Because a feeling's too complex to say,
Wrapped in an appropriate cliche,
Offered on the day I "ought" to tell you.
And yet this squeamishness is just a pose
Dissolved into the river of my love,
Which needs no more than one word for its name.
Beneath my wordy sophistry it flows
Like truth that one need neither test nor prove,
A happiness I need but speak to claim.

Valentine's for lovers and for friends.
All my love goes out to you this day!
Love is something different from desire:
Even, silent, peaceful as the sky.
Nor is love interested in means or ends.
There are no selfish needs that it must weigh.
Instead, love's plenitude itself inspires,
Needing neither cause nor reason why.
Each day my thoughts enchanted with you lie.

I love you Darling, more then anything in the whole Universe!

My darling Boots left me this for Valentine's Day!

I just have to share what my girl left me for Valentine's Day. She's such a beautiful girl and I love her so much. Thank you, Boots for these beautiful poems.

Happy Valentines day Zeke! Here are some poems that made me think of you:

Be my Valentine: What does that mean?
Each of us must walk through life alone,
More deeply desolate than we have known,
Yearning for a truth we've never seen.
Valentines are from beyond that dream,
Are like a sunrise on a world of stone.
Little on this journey can we own
Except as miracles might intervene.
No way but through loving might we give
The freedom of our being to another.
In such a sacrifice we hope to live
No longer bound by dreams of flesh and bone,
Even as we bind our lives together.

Before I knew you, I had always loved you,
Even as I dreamed of whom I'd love.
My inner picture was a portrait of you
Years before your heart my heart would move.
Vistas of enchantment are but rarely
As we find them in reality.
Love with you is what I dreamed, but really,
Eden as no dream could ever be.
Nor is this the magic of the moment,
The proper costume for the holiday.
In words like these one finds the winnowed ferment,
Not of the desire, but of the way,
Else lost amid the longings of the day.

Happy Valentine, my love!
All my love is yours.
Praised be love that brings us home,
Pilgrims to these shores.
Yearnings here find harborage;
Vanities, sly smiles.
All that righteous anger rends,
Love here reconciles.
Even in the darkness where
No bitterness finds rest,
Thoughts of you are like a dawn
Intent on happiness.
Nor would I have so light a heart
Except that I am blessed!

You are my heart, my hope, my help,
The passion that is me,
The whole of which I am a part,
My peace, my ecstasy.
You are my future, present, past,
My ship, my sail, my ocean,
The wind that brings me home again,
The home for every motion.
You live within me, yet I am
Without you all alone.
With you I am full of light;
Without you I am stone.
Is this foolish? Yes, perhaps,
But also it is true.
I think of life as something I
Can spend with only you.
Ah, my love! Love longs for such
Sweet celebrants as this!
Love is a burden and a joy,
Slavery and bliss.
This day of love come love with me,
Come sing with me my song.
Come be my Valentine, and I
Will love you my life long, my love,
Will love you my life long.

I love you Hon! You are the light of my world!
~Boots

Wow...a daily diary pick!

Gee...I would never have imagined that I would be one of the daily diary picks! I'm going to have to make this a little more interesting then. I do get a bit lazy about writing. There's just so many other fun things to do.
Callie and Buddy are sure getting big! I still like to run after them and play tag. But, Buddy thinks that now he's a little bigger he can beat me at wrestling. NOT! I still have that weight advantage and my height to take him down. Gently of course. Mom yells if she sees we're getting a little too rough. But, hey mom....he gets rough with me too. Those little nails of his hurt sometimes. Callie likes to try and get me too. I guess cause Pie and Shadow don't want to play with them they see me as a big ole kid. I am! I'm enjoying having them around. And, you know what? Kitten food tastes really good too...MOL! I can't help myself. If you leave it....I'll get it. Mom says that I'm just an eating machine.
It was a wonderful weekend! I got get all dressed up and go to the Sweetheart's Ball with my sweet girl, Boots. She looked so purrty in her red dress. I sure do love that girl! She dances so gracefully too. She just makes my heart go pit pat.
Well, gotta scoot. I have to check out the window and see if there's any birds out. I doubt it in this weather. I wonder where they hide when it's this cold?
