A Tribute to an Amazing Cat

A gift?

Dear friends,

I just noticed SIXTY zealies have mysteriously popped up in my account! Whoever gave this generous gift, please let me know so I can thank you more personally...

Until then, THANK YOU. Your kindness has put a happy ending to this tough day.

One year anniversary...

Today is the one year anniversary of my death. My girl is pretty sad today. She misses me sooooo much sometimes, I wish I could just be with her again and cuddle one last time. I'll let her write the rest...

Hey catsters, friends,

I will never forget your generosity and kindness that you gave me this time last year. I wish I was stronger, but being a part of catster was so painful for me sometimes, I fear I had to stay away more often than not... It isn't because I don't love you all... but my heart, even after a whole year of grieving, is still raw and painful. Seeing how much you love your cats only serves to remind me how much I loved mine. I am under the belief that I will never find another soul like Penny. She was willful, annoying, nasty, beautiful, clever, hilarious, gentle, and my best friend. He personality matched mine so perfectly that I didn't even know it until she was gone. I love Tiramisu, my parent's new cat, but she is not my soulmate as much as an annoying little sister. She is a pain, but very sweet and loving. I think Penny would laugh at her antics. Tira is Penny's antithesis. Sweet and gentle, but demanding of attention and food.

I have a new dog as well, Sport. He is amazing and clever and devoted to me. Again, he's no Pen, but he is a good substitute for a bed warmer.

I miss Penny with every fiber of my being. I realize now how much her life and death affected me. I am a different person today than I was a year ago. I am more focused on school, on my animals, on fulfilling my goals and following my dreams.

I hope she is happy us at the Bridge. I hope she is waiting for me. I hope she knows how much I love her.

Forever, your girl

I am loved and new kitten in the future

Darling Alfie gave me a lovely gift today. He is always so sweet. He also wrote in his diary about my girl getting another cat. She has started scouring the rescues and shelters the past few weeks for a little orangie boy cuz she loves us Orangies, but she doesn't want to compare the new cat to me. She is fostering a pup right now that isn't too friendly, so she might have to wait. We shall see. My girl says that when the time is right to get a new kitten, she'll know. And then I will be sure to let everyone on catster know too!!

Purrs, Penny
