"October 2005. She was 13 years old -- lying in a warm place, on one of many rugs set out for her, near her food, with her head on her little plush heart toy. This was a few days before she left this world."
"This statue that I painted represents how Princess looked when she appeared to me in that "Dream", Feb 2005, when she almost died after Surgery. I placed the statue on the exact place she was standing in the dream. Notice the crescent moon on her chest."

Arrival Story: Looking for a cat in the shelter -- suddenly, in a cage, there was... a big hairy belly.... a paw stretched out of the bars, beckoning to me, two green eyes below a sweet kitty smile. She was charming me upside down. She had been there for almost a MONTH!! How could I have missed her!!!??? She of course went home with me!!!! The first couple of weeks in her new home, if I was in another room and she couldn't find me, she would call out to me in a special way, sounding like a little lost soul. Of course I'd say "Princess -- here I Am!!!" and she'd quickly come trotting over to the room I was in. She warmed my heart so much.
Bio: She misjudged her jump and fell off a bookcase one night -- ended up at the emergency vet's. Turned out to be shaken up but ok. The vet yelled at me for having a fat cat (she WAS 13 pounds then - but now she is a svelter kitty), but then told me that the only thing that kept her from breaking a rib was... her fat. (!!!) When we got out of the vet's at midnight we ended up stuck in a sobriety checkpoint - I told the cop "I'm ok -- but you better check HER (Princess) -- she fell off a bookcase!"
I found a lump on her bosom early in 2004 -- it WAS cancer. They think they got all of it out. It took her a long time to recover but she is running and playing and being crazy again. Unfortunately, 7 months later she had another operation to remove another lump and almost died from shock, after surgery. They had to put her in an incubator all night. That night I dreamed she had materialized through the bedroom window and landed on her favorite file cabinet, where she looked at me. She was "dressed" in the night sky, wearing the stars, the clouds and a crescent moon (I looked thru the Farmer's Almanac months later and discovered there really WAS a Crescent Moon that night!) - Her face was a greyish blue, and I could not see her eyes or nose or mouth because her face was all one color-- BUT her whole being was SO ALIVE and VIBRANT that I knew beyond a doubt (and with a great deal of AWE) that this was Princess. She looked at me, and she looked young and beautiful and healthy. I woke up and said "OH NO!! Did she die?!" but she had not - and I picked her up and took her home from the vet's the next day. She was SO weak, and I nursed her back to health. Months later, an animal communicator told me about that night -- "Princess was on the "edge" - she could have crossed over and died, but she decided to come back to you instead, because she and you still had some things to work out together". Wow..... When she came home from that operation she had a shunt, and was very weak. I gave her the very best care -- setting her up inside a BIG 16 foot square doggy playpen with her bed, lots of warm blankets, litter box and food -- it was a big area and she could not get out or jump over, so she was comfortable and I waited on her hand and foot and she recovered. But 2 months after that, she had a third operation... What a BRAVE kitty she is!!
------ Unfortunately the Cancer metastisized and she has fluid in her lungs -- One day, she jumped on a bureau with p-a-i-n in her eyes and meowed very sadly so I knew she was hurting -- we went to the vet and found out the bad news. The vet gave her two weeks to live ("Take her home, show her around the apartment and then bring her in to be euthanized"), and I was SO SO sad!!!!! And I was so ANGRY at the Vet -- Princess was NOT going to get put down after 2 weeks!! (With love, care and special attention, she lived for another 3 months) But she is a fighter -- and I want her to have a QUALITY life until SHE is ready to go (and she DID!). So she and I are fighting it as best as we can, mostly holistically. It's been 6 weeks or more now, and I know her time is limited but her quality of life so far is GOOD. And once in a while, I still get a SMOOCH from Miss Princess, who then looks SO pleased with herself!!!
***** Update - well, Princess and I tried very very hard to make things go back to the way they were -- but Cancer is terrible -- and Princess left this world on October 19, 2005. I have a TERRIBLE hole in my heart. She is VERY much missed.

I've Been On Catster Since:
Oh the other night Meowmie was sleeping and dreaming and...Woooh!! The dream was interrupted because suddenly Miss P was there!! And she and Meowmie were so happy to see one another-- there was cheek rubbing and kisseezz and general very good happiness!!
When Meowmie woke up she KNEW she had not been rubbing faces with HRH BBBT-- BBBT RAAARELY sleeps with Meowmie and rarely shows such affection.
Oh Meowmie thanks Princess from the bottom of her heart for that wonderful visit!!!
Yes, there is the Beautiful One, Up here, who wipes away EVERY tear, on whose lap we can all fit -- but sometimes we play play play so much that we don't always have "time" to sit on the Beautiful One's Lap.
Yes, there are kitties and pooches and skunkies and SO MANY animals hoo wuz hurted real bad on Earth when all they wanted wuz to give and receive LOVE. Oh they get LOVE LOVE LOVE Up Here and they are Joyful and So Happy and Healthy and Whole -- they shine with beauty.
I am very Glittery Up Here -- they gave me little wings but I don;t use em much cuz I can just go where-EVER want to go by thinking abowt it. And I think abowt Meowmie and she KNOWS I hav bizitid hur in hur dreems. Yes Meowmie, yoo and I both know, dat wuz ME!! (* * Smiles and purrs * * )
PeeWee iz Up Here (with her babies) -- what a streetwise and smart kittykat!! So is Buttons and Puddy and all her kittens, and so many other kitties, hoo are still watiting for their Loved Ones (justlike I am) and we all play and do Funny Kat Trix -- what FUN it is to be Up Here!!!
Are there Mowsies up Here? And Butterflies too? AND...buzzy Flies??? -- yoo mite well ask.
Yes of course there are-- and we all chase wun annuder, and have fun -- but this is HEVVIN and no wun gets hurt.
We all have Jobs, Up Here -- sumtimes da Beautiful One -- or Da Anjels, ask me to go ovur to some kitty or pupper or skunkie or hamstur, hoo just walkt in thru da Purlee Gates - and wat I do iz gently go ovur to them and show them my smile and then roll over so they can see my fuzzybellee -- and we play and wrassle and cuddle and then I take em to meet the beautiful One.
But even though I am VERY happy--
I miss my Meowmie.
Yoo know what I want to do wenn Meowmie FINALLY gets here?
I will RUN ovur to Meowmie, and JUMP into her arms, and gaze into her eyes, and rub my cheek next to hur face, and we will both sing my favrit song - "The Flower Duet". I think wenn that happinz, even the Beautiful One will cry with joy.
I have been Visiting my Meowmie in dreams lately-- oh how happy we both are!!!
In wun dreem, I was standing on the commode, where I would ALWAYS stand to get my "Brush", and Meowmie was brushing me and she could hear me purring!!
And then she picked me up she could feel some of my Cansur Lumps (she was VERY surprised that I still had some Cancer lumps!!) ... and then she tickled my furry belly and then she said something VERY silly --
Meowmie said "I know she's dead, but I have no idea what explanation I'm going to give them when I bring her in to see the vet!!!"
Sillee Meowmie!!!
Then last night she dreamed of me again!! Hee Hee!!I was on my back, wiggling and wiggling and she was tickling my belly and I was smiling at her!!! Oh we wuz BOTH so happy !!
Meowmie KNOWS that she is not touching Big Bad Fuzzy Baby Twinkle when she is sleeping, becuz BBBT sleeps at the foot of the bed, or under the blankie (the NURV of that Biggius BRAT!! I usta sleep RIGHT on Meowmie's stummick and give her kissiz!!)
Meowmie, I will LUV YOO FOREVER!!
Sweet Shy and Gentul Smoochiz
Frum your Princess, the Queen of the Kitties
