Arrival Story:
Athena and her brother were brought to our local Shelter when they were kittens by a woman who said her husband was going to shoot the cats if she didn't get rid of them. We adopted them from the Shelter.

Bio:
I believe she was abused at her first home. For two years she wouldn't play in paper bags or boxes. She was scared of buckets. Today she does wind sprints through the house, tumbling under the kitchen table and chairs, dragging herself from one table leg to another, rabbit kicking the chair legs. Athena follows me around, constantly. I call her my shadow. Her eyes search mine and our souls entwine. After my two operations with me being in considerable pain, she would never leave my side. She and Apollo would push up against me, usually one on each side, no matter where I was resting. Taking turns when eating or taking potty breaks, one always stayed with me. One night the pain was so bad I couldn't sleep. Athena cuddled very close to me, purring really hard and the pain actually went away! Athena always comes when I call her. Her gentle paw on my arm and her green/beige eyes convey her love.******************* Athena made her journey to the Rainbow Bridge on October 16, 2010 ... still my Love forever.

ATHENA'S DIARY


Good Bye

It has been one month since I made my journey to the Bridge. Mom still cries a lot because she's still in the habit of glancing at the chair under the table or the couch in the den to check on me. The other night she looked up the stairs to see if Apollo was coming outside with her and in the shadows at the top of the stairs she thought it was my face she saw on Apollo. Of course we do look alike except he is much bigger than me — the big lump!

Apollo still tests for my scent in the house but that is gradually fading away. He and Mom find comfort in each other — do take care of each other.

Thank you, everyone, for your purr prayers for me and my family. They are helping Mom through this difficult time. Thank you to The Drifter and family, AnnaBelle and Family, Sky, Merlin,Wilson J. Scooter, Kally Kat, Pepper and Family, Hunter, Kaci Sunshine and Family, Calvin, Nuk Anuk, Hooch, Milo, Tweetie, Rufus, Marina, Tosca and Velvet, Tweak and Family, Vincent and Family, Cody and Family, MacCallan and Family, Bella and Family, Buddie, Mercy, Rubert, Tommy and Family, Blade and Family, Ava Corrine and Family, Karma Kitty and Family, Arthur and Family, Catsy Angel Princess, Edgar and Family, The Olde Furts Group, Mr. Fuzz and Family, Twix, Misha and Family, Tabbie and Family, Little Bit and Family, Twix, Chai Latte and Family, Ele, Tigger, The Canadian Rainbow Crew, Delyte and Family, Hambone and Family, Pooters, Kitty, Eli and Family, Toffy and Vanessa, Hunter and Family, Bo and Family, Abbey, Gimli and Family, Maggie Moo and Family, Kitanna, Mr. Sam, Nala Sue, Elise and Genny, Casey, The Bush Furs, Howard and Family, Elsa, Taz and Family, Alabaster and Family, Ashley and Family, and Ginger and Family, Pigeon, Peaches, Tasha, Toby Aragorn and Family, Boo Boo and Family, and Spit Fire for the special stars and rosettes.

Thank you Scooter; Lexi and Family; Squeakers, Sandy and Munchkins; Bruce and Family for the gifts of Catster wings, Louis LeBeau, Ethan and Family for the Catster candle.

Thank you for the snail mail cards from Siouxsie, Ayla Bell, Luna Fae, Finn McCool, Jonnie Gato and Mom; Maizy, Tigger, Smithwick and Mom; Dashy, Lilly and their Mom and Dad; Pepper and Mom; Marina, Tosca and their Mom, even though it's hard for Mom to read them because her eyes are full of tears when she does.

Thank you to Willow, who gave me the beautiful wings in my pictures.

Thank you to Sky and her Mom for the card and towel with my name and hearts lovingly embroidered on it. And thank you to my dearest Toulouse and his Mom for the cards, floral arrangement and loving support.

Thank you, Natasha, Shade, Sassy & Pepper, Felicia and Family, Finnigan, Sophie, BK, Soc, Tucker, Critter, Tasha, Riley, Ludo, Cheyanne, Muffy, Ozzie, Dusty & Family, Bella, Shadow, Kiwi, Zoe, Miranda, Roxanne, Bumpurr, Cowboy, Cruiser, Truman, Wuss and Batman; everycat and everyone for your comforting words, purrs and love to help my Mom through this part of her life when I can no longer be with her. Forever in your heart — until we meet again —

Purrs and Love,
Athena

I was tagged by my dearest Toulouse to play tag!
Here's what we have to do....

Welcome to the new edition of "2009 Get to Know Your Pals". Copy this diary entry, and paste it into your diary. Read then delete my answers. Then you can fill in your own! We can get to know our pals better!! Have fun!! Then send a rosette or pmail to 4 pals and ask them to post it in their diary!!!!
Here we GO!!!!!

1. What color is your collar?
I do not wear collar.
2. What kind of food do you eat?
Dry cat food and sometimes a shrimp when Mom cooks some for herself.
3. What are your favorite treats?
Since the cat food scare, Mom doesn't trust any kitty treats. That's OK ‘cause I didn't care for extra treats that much.
4. Do you have a Valentine or significant other??
Of course, my dearest Toulouse.
5. Do you get Table Scraps?
Well, except for those shrimps, I'm not interested in food off of the table.

I've been tagged by Cheyanne.

Here are the rules: When you get tagged, you post in your Diary (1) The Rules of the Game (just copy and paste these if you like), and (2) Seven Pawsome Facts About Yourself. (3) Then choose 7 kitties to tag, and list the names of the 7 kitties you are tagging. Don’t forget to purr them a pawmail informing them that they have been tagged and notifying them to read your Diary, or, send them a fun Rosette announcing that they've been tagged!

I've been on Catster so long that my life is an open book. I think everycat knows everything about me, tee hee. Well, I'll think of something . . . . ummm??? . . . . . thinking . . . . .

3. Is there anycat that doesn't know my special boyfriend is Toulouse?
4. Mom says I run through the house like a "wild animal"!!!
