My Life, by... a Princess

I am still here

Sometimes Meowmie gets really sad becuz she can see the pain in my eyes.

I don't sleep with Meowmie anymore and that makes her sad -- so last night she picked me up VERY gently and placed me near her -- she petted me and talked to me . I was so happy that even when I did move away to the foot of the bed, I kept looking at her instead of turning my face away. Then in the morning, I got up and limped over to her and stood on her stummick and I gave her a SMOOCH!! And I was SO pleased with myself -- Meowmie could see the smile on my face and the sparkul in my eyes -- Meowmie was very pleased too!!!

A coupla days later, she heard me singing on the other saide of the bedroom door (she keeps me in her bedroom cuz if I limped out I would hide and Meowmie would have a TERRIBUL time tryin ta find me!), and when she heard me singing she knew I was singin to my Mousie toy which I had in my mouth, and trying ta bring it to her -- so she she opened the door and there I wuz, sitting on the other side of it, with my beloved Mousie Toy right behind me where I had dropped it -- and she said "Oh Miss Princess!! What a nice Mousie toy! You are such a Good kitty!" and then she gave me TWO Pounces!!!

Oh, I wish my pain would go away. I want to play again and run down the hallway with Baby Twinkle, the two of us sounding like a herd of buffaloes. When I sleep I dream that I am happy and young again. But then sometimes the pain wakes me up. Meowmie can tell when I'm in pain by the look in my eyes -- but then there are times when I feel pretty good! And she can tell that I'm feeling good, by the way my eyes are big and clear and sparkly!

I am not eating as much as I should, but Meowmie gives me tempting foodies at all hours of the night and day -- and sometimes I eat it up.

Meowmie gets up ALL hours of the night to make me comfie or pet me or feed me -- yesterday all I wanted was some of Cee Cee's canned food AND some condensed milk -- yum yum! - annyway she told me that there is a Rainbow Brij that I will one day cross over and when I get to the other side, where there is green grass and beeootiful trees and flowahs and GREAT catnip and LOTSA animal frens, I will feel SO young and So happy and I will NOT have any more pain or LUMPIES!! Wheeee!! I was so happy to hear that!

And I sed "Then Meowmie you and I can play and run and walk all over that beeotiful place!" But she looked real sad and sed "Oh Miss Princess -- I cannot come over that brij yet -- there are other kitties and goldfish and maybe one day horsies and doggers who still need me here. I will miss you very much but I know you will only be a paw's touch away frum me and you will still be able to see me! And I want you to save me a place there pleez!"

Well, I was very sad to hear that she won't go there with me yet but I was happy that she gave me a speshul job to do there. I will save her a place and be so proud to do that!

Scuse me I am very tired -- I am going back to sleep. I will be happy when Meowmie comes home tonight -- how I wish I had enough strength to meet her at the door like I usta-- She would bend down and say "Princess - may I give you a KISS?" and I would stand up so she could kiss me on my frowzie little head.
