I miss you so much, Kujo ~

From Kujo's meowmy ~

I still have such pain when I try to visit Kujo's page. I need to find her heavenly voice. I am sure she has one there. She always did with us. Kujo's absence from the family screams at us daily. I still look for her and for the dish towels to be on the kitchen floor where she put them daily. The lump in my throat just won't go away.

I want to thank all of you who sent beautiful gifties to Kujo when she crossed the Bridge. I will mention them in another diary... after these tears stop.

To Kujo from Meowmy

From Meowmy to Kujo ~

Part of my world ended yesterday when you went to the Rainbow Bridge at 4:25 PM. I was not prepared to say an earthly goodbye to you. You have given me your love for 14 years and that is not nearly enough time with you. You never hurt a fly, even though you became a "grouch" in your aging with the other cats... except for Cassidy. The two of you shared a very special bond that words cannot explain. Cassidy is wandering around today calling for you and hunting every place she thinks you might be hiding. She seems sad she can't find you.

When you first came to live with my son and his two daughters while they were living with your dad and me after his separation, I never dreamed you would be with us for the rest of your all-too-short life. You gave me so much joy and fun that first year. It was just you and me... no other kitties. You and I played hide'n'seek daily... but you cheated. You always looked where I hid and quickly found me. On the rare occasion that I did manage to really hide from you, you would meow in a pitiful manner until you located me. You loved to hide under things and jump out at us. You gave your meowmy more fun and joy than I can ever express.

Through the years, you have been a very special lady. We lovingly refer to you as "The Queen". You were a very gentle and most loving cat. You and I played "I love you" by blinking our eyes slowly. I had a bond with you that no one can ever break, my gentle angel. You can never be replaced. The hole you left in my heart and soul cannot ever be completely healed. You left some pretty special pawprints, my sweet girl. I miss you more than words can ever express. I am feeling so lost without you. I know Cassidy is too... Please come visit with Cassidy at night and sleep with her. You were her "rock"... and you did not know it, but you were one of my rocks. I have held you and cried and wet your fur during my times of grief. You never complained.

Losing you is tearing out a part on my being. Thank you for some very special times and beautiful memories. You will always be my baby. I love you forever. I will see you again one day, when my time on earth is over. Until that day, know how much I love you. I do know how much you loved me... your eyes said it all when you looked at me.

Your deeply saddened meowmy

I am 14 years old today!

Today is my 14th birthday. I will be quietly celebrating it. As most of you know, we lost our doggie brofur McDuff a week ago on August 7th. It has knocked the props out from under my pawrents... McDuff had always been healthy... It was so unexpected... Meowmy is trying her best to make my birthday special.

McDuff led my pawrents to a new Golden Retriever named Chance. Meowmy has tried and tried since last night to add him to Dogster BUT the photos are not working so we must wait until this glitch, in a long series of glitches on Dogster and Catster, is resolved.

Please remember Cocoa's meowmy Barbi today as she is having some surgery. She is in our purrs and prayers.

Sad news ~ Our dear furiend Cocoa crossed the Rainbow Bridge- during the early moring hours

Shortly before 8:30am EST, we got some very sad news. Auntie Barbi called Meowmy to tell her that our dear furiend Cocoa had crossed the Rainbow Bridge. He will always be a special part of our furmily and always in our hearts. He left some big pawprints in each of our hearts. We are all still in shock. Please remember Auntie Barbi and Unkie Rob and all the sad siblings that Cocoa has left behind to mourn and miss him. Cocoa was and is very special to my meowmy... she always loved to hear his cute little meows (sometimes very loud) as he chatted when Auntie Barbi and Meowmy were on the phone chatting. Rest in Peace, dear and special furiend. You will never be far from our hearts. We LOVE you, Cocoa.

Yesterday Catster lost the BEST of the best.

Yesterday was a very sad day, indeed, for my furmily and me and for so many Catster furiends. We were shocked and saddened to learn that our beloved furiend Hazel Lucy was to go to Heaven at 12:30 PM EST. Our meowmy had come home from getting her hair cut about 11:30 and turned on the catputer to see what was happening. She went to FB first and saw the posting about Hazel Lucy. The next hour we all spent our time crying and praying for Hazel Lucy and her wonderful meowmy Julie.

Hazel Lucy and her meowmy were and are such beautiful and caring souls who started the wonderful Purr Threads on Catster. Hazel Lucy touched all of our hearts in such a special way and she will always hold a very special place in our hearts and in the hearts of so many others. True love never dies and we do truly love Hazel Lucy and thank her for being a most special part of our lives.

Please keep Hazel Lucy and her meowmy Julie in your purrs and prayers during this sad and difficult time. We know that it is never easy to say our earthly goodbyes. We know that our lives will be reunited again one day and that, while absent from the earth, they are always present in our hearts.

We wanted to write yesterday but our meowmy just could not gather herself to help us. Hazel Lucy and Julie hold a very special place in our hearts and we found ourselves too devastated to write.

We still find ourselves shocked and deeply saddened but we know that Hazel Lucy is free of her earthly pain and is healthy again and is now happily reunited with her beloved furhusband Buddie. What a special reunion that was.

Hazel Lucy, we will forever love you and are so blessed to call you our furiend. Our meowmy is blessed, also, to call your meowmy a special friend. You are both dearly loved.

Meowmy did NOT allow me to paw in my diary after I found I- was a DDP! Pfffftttt.

You won't believe what happened to me after I found out I was a DDP yesterday. Well, here I was all prepared to enjoy the day BUT oh no.... to my shock and surprise, my meowmy spent most of the day in the bathroom... painting and spackling and whatever. She tried to tell me that it had been put on "hold" since my pawrents had begun this project just before Thanksgiving. So many things have come up to delay the bathroom project... like my human sisfur having her first baby in Arizona and my dad being gone for over two weeks. Meowmy had to stay home to take care of all of us kitties and give Hooch his shots twice a day. Then, when my dad came home, my pawrents did a marathon shopping spree for Christmas which was coming up in a week and they were NOT prepared. Shortly after Christmas, my dad's mother had to go to the hospital and was furry sick and recently she went to a rehab facility and is still there. She may get to go home on March 17th... that is the target date but we aren't sure. Anyway, all of this has put the bathroom on what Meowmy calls HOLD. Only this week has my dad been able to get the walls prepared and the baseboards put up. So, yesterday was paint day, as is today, if Meowmy has time. She has to take Mojo and Baby G to the doc doc but they don't know it yet. MOL.

When I looked at my page, I found that yesterday some furry sweet furiends helped me celebrate. *whispers* Too bad my meowmy was too busy. Pfffffftttt. I want to thank all my furiends for remembering me yesterday.

A handsome fellow DDP honoree named Francis and his pawsome furmily sent me a four leaf clover. They said, "Concats Kujo! Your a DDP today! Hope you enjoy your big day! Let's celebrate together! Have a great day! Love, Francis, Kibbles and Yoda" It was special to be a DDP with you, Francis.

The most wonderful Hazel Lucy sent me a lepruchan hat. She said, "Just because your family is so beautiful, and your mom is the coolest! love, Hazel Lucy" Hazel Lucy, know how much we love you and the pawsome work you do for others.

A sweet fellow DDP honoree for yesterday named Paris sent me a four leaf clover. She said, "Concatulations Kujo, this is so kool being a DDP together, I love it, you have a pawsome day and get all the treats and extra lovin you can, we love you. Hugs Paris ~" It was an honor to serve as a DDP with such a lovely furiend.

A special angel named Navin R. Johnson-Davis sent me a rainbow rosette. He said, "Congratulations on your DDP Kujo! I only wish it was for something funner! I hope that icky stuff gets you all fixed up soon & you are in my prayers & purrs. All my love, Navin R. Johnson-Davis" I love you, Navin R. Johnson-Davis. I love saying your name, by the way.

A very special angel named Tyler - Mr. Boombastic and his pawsome furmily sent me a fun mousie. They said, "Hurrah for Kujo! Of course you deserve to be in the spotlight! Lots of love from all of us xxx" Tyler, we have loved you since we first met you on Catster. You and your furmily are furry, furry special to us and you are all furry loved by us.

Sweet Teebo and his furmily sent me a lepruchan hat. They said, "Happy DDP! Here's a hat you can put on your head to keep your Mom from giving you laxatone. Purrs, Teebo, Callie and Rose" Teebo and his furmily are always so thoughtful and sweet to us.

The lovely Anna and her furmily sent me a lepruchan hat. They said, "Congratulations Kujo! here is a magic hat filled with lots of wishes for a wonderfur day! hugs and headbonks Anna and furryones" Anna and her furmily are always so kind to us.

Sweet Angel Wanda and her wonderpurr furmily sent me a four leaf clover. They said, "Congrats on your DDP today! We are glad to hear you are doing better, we know all about those poopie problems because of Marie, it is not fun. Love Wanda, Norman and family" Wanda and her furmily have been some of our most special furiends since we joined Catster. We love all of you.

The beautifur Ginger sent me a four leaf clover. She said, "Happy diary pick Kujo! I hope all is going well. I'll bet you will do all your favorite things today. If you look up at a star, and make a wish, I hope it comes true! Here is a lucky 4 leaf clover for you; good luck is a charm! Love Ginger xo"

And I had some furry sweet comments from some furry dear furiends. Thank you to all my furiends for helping me celebrate my DDP honor yesterday.

I am a DDP honoree today.

OMC! I woke up to learn that I am one of today's DDP honorees. Thank you Catster HQ and Diary Gal. Maybe the rumors are true? If you talk about such things as "newmies", you get diary honors. Huh? I thought we were not supposed to talk about such things. Somehow, however, our pawrents seem to take great pleasure in exposing our problems for all our furiends to read. Have we no dignity left?

My concats to two friends Francis and Paris who are fellow diary honorees today. Also, concats to Tux Royale who is a DDP honoree and to a very new angel named Fluffy, who is the DOTD. Fluffy went to the Bridge yesterday with the help of his sad furmily. You may want to stop by and leave your condolences to his furmily.

Speaking of newmies, I have had more newmies without traces of blood. Yes, Meowmy is still obsessing over my output when she sees me "going potty". I am still receiving the disgusting Laxatone every three days. Yuk. Meowmy says that since I only like dry food, she can't sneak anything into my food. I guess it is my own fault that I am forced AND I mean literally forced to take that disgusting stuff.

My first newmie that Meowmy has seen since my Laxatone- addition.

Yay. I did not get Laxatone yesterday nor today (so far). I had a "newmie" to use Hazel Lucy's phrase... she made it for the effur adorable Newman. Anyway, my meowmy, with her morbid obsession over my newmies, picked it up in a tissue and examined it carefully. I know... Meowmy is furry weird. After examining "it", she smiled and said NO blood to be seen. Maybe the Laxatone IS working. However, I know what that means, I will be adding Laxatone to my diet effury few days. I heard Meowmy say whatever works....

4 days of Laxatone is on today!

This will be day four of my torture with the Laxatone. Yuk. On day one, I was a very good girl and ate most of the finger length strand of the gel.

Day two found me just licking it once or twice and then my meowmy put what was left on her finger multiple time and proceeded to put it in my mouth each time so I had no choice but to swallow it.

Day three found me saying NO WAY. I ran under the catputer cabinet to hide. I thought I had gotten away withough incident. I found out that meowmies can be purrsistent. Meowmy allowed me to think I had won the battle. When I finally came out, she grabbed me and proceeded to do the "on the finger multiple times, each time putting that disgusting stuff in MY mouth". Can you believe this torture? And from my furry own meowmy!

I am off in search of a great hiding place because I know what is coming today. Catch y'all later!

I was catnapped this morning by my furry own pawrents.

I was catnapped by my furry own meowmy this morning! Can you believe that? It happened a little before 9AM. I was taking my normal morning snooze in the catputer room when the next thing I knew was that Meowmy was picking me up. I took her attempt at loving me to be annoying but allowed it. She carried me into the living room and stooped down and put me in..... THE PRISON CARRIER. I could NOT believe my kitty eyes.

My dad was part of this conspiracy to abduct me! He was standing by the front door with his keys in hand. The next thing he did was assist Meowmy in putting me into the car and he even had the nerve to drive. Off we headed to... THE DOC DOC. Why? I am okay and I haven't been acting sick.

You see, Meowmy found a spot of blood about dime sized on the cat litter mat back in December but she did not know what, why or who. Then on January 1st of this year, she found where one of us had missed the litterbox and gone a little outside the box on the litter mat. This time it was evident that the blood had come from... well.... you know where. It was mixed with the poo. This alarmed Meowmy but she did not know which one of us did it. She asked but none of us would tell her. She ended up thinking it might have been Mojo who has had some health issues in recent months but she was not really sure. So, Meowmy has been watching us like a hawk lately but none of us has slipped up in front of her UNTIL week before last week. I had an accident outside the litterbox and Meowmy scolded me. Then she picked up my accident and saw red blood outside the deposit I had made. This scared her. She called the doc doc and found out that my doc doc was away until today. So she made an appointment without asking me.

Since Meowmy found out who did "it", she has examined each of my deposits and there has been this bloody coating. I told her that she was one sick lady. Who looks at kitty poo and examines it? *shakes head*

I even cooperated for my meowmy this morning by "going" poo before we headed to the doc doc. I saw Meowmy gather it and wrap it in a tissue and then put it in a zip lock baggie. I thought my meowmy had lost it after I saw that but I did not let her know of my concerns about her new obsession with my poo. Little did I know that she was taking the evidence to my doc doc.

I was treated very rudely during my examination. Not only did they take my weight and embarrass me with 13.2 pounds but my doc doc expressed my anal glands. That was NOT cool nor was it comfortable. Then, my doc doc said she believes that I have an anal fissure. She said that I have to take Laxatone (about a 2 inch long string) daily for 3-4 days and then every other day for a while. If it doesn't clear up within a few weeks, then I may have to go back for a recheck. I liked the Laxatone I had after I returned home from my catnapping.

It was a furry stressful day for me. I think I will recover from the indignity of it all but Meowmy had better be watching for my new deposits. I may surprise her in new places. MOL.
