I'm One of the Diary Picks!

Thank you to Catster for choosing me as a diary pick! I love Catster (and Dogster). It isn't every website that accepts and understands cats who love strollers or people whose hearts ache for their fur angels at the Bridge. So I feel very honored.

Thank you everyone!

It Will Be a Year...

It will be a year. My mom can hardly believe it's true. I've been at the Bridge for a year. In some ways it seems like I've been gone forever. Other times it feels like I just left. At feeding time, my mom automatically wants to still serve me a bowl. I sometimes wish she would! When she walks through the house, my mom will do a double take every once in while, thinking she caught a glimpse of me. I was always there. Why wouldn't I be there now? My years with my family flew by too quickly. I was a young cat, then an old cat in the blink of an eye. Now, I'm here at the Bridge. My mom hopes I remember how much she loves me. I hope my mom remembers how much I love her!

Thank you to all the Catsters for your friendship, kind words, and support! Many purrs..

My First Bridge Birthday!

Wow, this is a really big first for me. It's my first Bridge Birthday! I miss my family. And boy does my mom REALLY miss me!! I like being an angel. It's fabulous! I thought having fur was great!! Just wait until you try wings!!

My mom adopted a new kitty after I went to the Bridge; her name is Story. My mom has been spending a lot of time working with her. My human brother is the one who had the most difficulty adjusting to her, even though he is an old boy now in college. He grew up with me as his only cat his whole life. So he was just used to me and my personality and temperament. Story is very different from me, but still loving. It has been quite the change for my brother. It's nice to know that my human brother loved me so much. And I'm glad my brother is finally getting used to the new kitty, and liking her for who she is, since all cats are special even if they are different!

I have to go now!

Stay safe, & take care everycat!

My Urn..

I just posted a picture of my urn. It is picture #2 on my page. I'm sorry that the background is white. Hopefully you can still see it. My mom bought it shortly after I went to the Bridge. My mom had a difficult time finding the right cat urn for my ashes, and my mom never knew there were so many different types of pet urns. She thought this one was pretty. Surprisingly, it looks a bit like my newly adopted kitten sister, Story. Story's orange-cream colored markings are similar to my coloring, too. She doesn't act like me much though, except that she purrs a lot like I did. My mom LOVES cat purring. It is her favorite!!

My mom misses me tons, but she's glad to have the cat urn with my ashes. She's so glad to have Story, too.

Take care, everycat!

I'm an Angel Now.

I'm a new angel. I just received my wings this morning. Now I won't have any more health problems or feel tired. I was a very sweet boy here on Earth, and now I will be a sweet angel., I was never a lap cat, but I'd always follow everyone around the house. Then, I'd sit quietly waiting for attention. I was always very quiet.

Throughout my lifetime, my mom has gone into the doctor's due to breast tumors. Before and after they were removed, she would have to go into the doctor's office to get examined or for an ultrasound or a mammogram. The night before, my mom would be so nervous and restless, she wouldn't be able to sleep. So each night before her appointments, I'd sit next to her and purr, to help her fall asleep. It worked and still works like a charm. My purring is very comforting. I did this each and every night before all of her appointments for this issue, and only the night before, whether she was checked monthly, bi-monthly, every six months, or annually like she does now. My mom never knew how I knew she was going in the next day! So as you can tell, I was a super great and loyal friend...and smart! I loved my family!

Thank you to everyone who was my friend here on catster. You are all so nice! Thank you for always being so kind to me.

I Have a New House!

Hi! I'm sorry I haven't updated my diary. I just recently moved to a new house. I am beginning to adjust to it fairly well. My mom has been worried about me, because I'm an older boy cat. I seem to be doing okay though. At first I was scared, but now I am having fun exploring! I love to explore.

Hope everyone is enjoying their summer!

In the Doghouse!

My Chihuahua dog sisters just got a new doghouse shaped like a red barn! Well, take a look at the first photo on my webpage to see who is loving it! Once again, proof that living with dogs isn't always such a bad thing! Not to mention being in the doghouse isn't always so bad either!

I Have a Secret!!

You read that correctly. I have a secret!! I've been napping in my Chihuahua sister, Tinker Bell Forever's bed!! MOL!! I LOVE her bed. The second she climbs out of it, I take it over!! It is super comfy!! Did I mention that Tinker Bell is the princess of the house?! She would not like me sleeping there at all. So this secret is just between me and all of my fellow catster members. Dogs aren't allowed to read catster diaries are they?? Well let's hope not. Also, I am feeling daring today; for your eyes only, I posted a picture of myself chillin' in her special bed. I'm even next to her favorite stuffed plushie-Wubby!! MOL!! Take a look! Picture #1!! Shhhh!!

Christmas Tree=Fun!!

Today was a great day for an adventure. So I decided to explore under the Christmas tree!! Boy did I ever create some havoc!! First I almost knocked the entire tree down, when I jumped onto the table where it was standing!! I'm not a big cat so I attempted to squeeze my way underneath it, between a couple of presents!! Oops!! I was fatter than I thought!! One present dropped to the floor!! That is when my mom figured out what all the racket was!! The dogs did too!! They decided to start running in circles, while barking ... at me!

I loved being under the Chrismas tree!! Twinkling lights, sparkling tinsel, and dangling ornaments!! Can you say giant cat toy?!! So when my mom told me to get out from underneath the tree, I didn't listen to her!! You can't really blame a guy for having fun can you?? Well, my mom was afraid I'd get hurt. She decided to bribe me with some food! I'm more of an eater than an adventurer, and so you can probably guess I bolted from underneath the tree in about two seconds!!

My adventure was fun while it lasted!! I love Christmas trees!!

Thank You, Catster!!

I am the diary pick of the day!! This is so exciting! Thanks, Catster!!

Congratulations to all of the other diary picks of the day today, too!!

Last month, I received three Halloween cards from some of my new Catster friends in my new group (pen paws). Those were the first pieces of mail I was ever sent! So that was exciting.

Now, this month, I get to be one of the diary picks of the day! So I really am having a great time!! Oh, my mom also put some white lights on my cat stroller! And I got a few new patches for it, too!!

So things have been going well for me! Next thing I have planned is to make out a Wish List for Christmas, since I already saw my mom writing my name down on her Christmas list!

Take care all of you Catsters!!

Thanks again, Catster!!
