A day of remembering ..

My Dear Diary,

Today is a day of remembering ....

4yrs ago today, I went missing and left Mommy forever heartbroken..

Today is also the day when my little brother-in-law, Baggy, was born and brought much joy into the world. He's spending his 4th birthday at the bridge today ..

Paws up for Catster !!!

OMC! Mommy & I (Preston, too) can't get over how PAWSOME Catster looks now - We love the new updated look!

The purple is so refreshing and pleasing to the eye!

We love the new layout - much cleaner and easier to navigate!

I think HQ deserves a paws up for all their hard work. I know there's still some bugs to work out, but for the most part, we LOVE it!

Thank you, HQ! :)

I do have one question, though. - Mommy forgot about our Catster Plus subscription and it ran out on us :( I lost some of my pictures as well as a few extras that was on my page. When Mommy gets Plus again, will all of that come back?

Purrs,

In the Spay Day Photo Contest again!

Last year Mom added me into the Humane Society's Spay day photo contest as a tribute to me and to help support the cause of raising money for spaying and neutering pets. This year she's doing it again and hopes you will help with the cause..

Every dollar donated in my name will help spay and neuter pets to control overpopulation, but if you can't donate, that's okay, sharing my page is just as helpful!

Hugs n Purrs,

Ginger's Story ..

Seven Years Today ~

My Dear Diary,

Seven Years ago today Mommy & I found each other..

Mommy always has a hard time with days like this because what was once a happy day, now feels like a sad one. Still, if it wasn't for today, Mommy wouldn't have ever found me. For that she does feel blessed. She also feels blessed to have such wonderful friends who remembered me today and left kind words and pressies on my page ..we both thank you with all our heart. No words can ever express how much it means to us.

Loving purrs,
~Twixy ( & Mom )

Remembering My Baby Girl ~

Today, three years ago, was the most hardest day I have ever went through. I was going through my day like I always had, till about 3-4pm in the evening. It suddenly hit me that I hadn't seen Twixy all day. I had two voices going on in my head ..one panicking; the other saying "she's on you bed like always". I dropped what I was doing and ran straight to my bedroom. No sign of Twix on my bed. I looked under it, then in the closet, then the window. Still no sign of her as I was running frantically through the house; calling her name. The moment felt so unreal to me. Like I was having a nightmare and would wake up any moment ...I never woke up from it. Twixy had vanished and I didn't know where ..or what had happened. I searched for her everyday; every morning, and every night. Calling her name and putting signs up. I did this for what felt like a century. Still nothing..

I was told by someone that they thought she was stolen. I just can't picture Twixy allowing a stranger to pick her up. She use to walk beside me while I was walking the dog (one of my fondest memories of her). I saw how she acted when someone would pass by..Twixy always hid till it was clear. Another person I knew told me it was possible a coyote had gotten to her ..I try to clear that thought every time it enters my mind. I know some people would tell me that Twix was just a cat and to move on. Apart of me can understand what they mean ..Things happen and sadly we are forced to move on ..but for me, Twix wasn't just some cat. She was my soul ..and losing her changed every aspect of who I was. I am not the same person and most days I struggle with the reality of that. I feel angry inside, resentful. I try hard to fill in this huge hole I have in my heart, but nothing fits. I have learn to accept that's how I will always feel. No matter what others may say; no matter how much time passes, Twixy will always live on in my heart.

With much sadness,
~Rebecca

Raising Money for Spaying & Neutering

My Dear Diary,

Mommy entered me in The Humane Society's Spay Day Photo Contest the other day. This contest is very important to me because it's all about raising money for spraying & neutering; which help saves thousands of lives. This is a cause that Mom says is very important because every day she sees lives that are suffering because of unresponsible pet owners not spaying/neutering their animals ..do they not know the heartaches they cause by not doing so? Mommy says these people just don't care and shouldn't have an animal in the first place....

Mommy added me so she could help this cause in my loving memory. it would mean a lot to her if I got some "votes" (You have to make a donation to be able to submit a vote). She knows times are very tight, so even just taking a look and sharing my link would be good.

A Special Honor ~

My Dear Diary,

I've gotten a really nice surprise today! My dear friend Blizzard from TKC honored me with the "White Star" today. For those who don't know what it is - "Each year on January 15th, a number of us white cats painstakingly choose some non-white kitties that have added something special to the Catster Community"

http://www.catster.com/forums/What_I_Love_About_Catster/thread/697940/1

I can't believe I got one !!! Thank you so very much, Blizzard, for honoring me with this incredible honor! You've made today a very special one. I will remember it always!

Happy Purrs,

Wishing Everypurr a Merry Christmas ~

My Dear Diary,

It's Christmas Eve today and Preston & I ..including Mommy ..would like all our friends to know that we're wishing them a wonderful Christmas day with their families. A lot of sad things have happened this month, and because of that, Mommy hasn't been able to decorate our pages this year. In fact, she hasn't done much ..like send Christmas e-cards or help me send pressies to all my dear friends. I'm going to have Mommy help me with those things after I get finished writing this..

I hope Santa Paws thinks I've been a good girl this year ..I have a very special wish inside of my heart and I'm wanting it come true. This wish is for my best friend Hannah and her family. Please visit this *LINK* to learn more..

Merry Christmas to all my dear friends. I love you all!

Purrs & Wishes,
~Twixy, Preston, and Mommy

~ Things I'm Thankful for ~

My Dear Diary,

I have missed writing in you! I thought today would be a good day to since it is Thanksgiving. Each year I try to do a little diary entry about the things I am thankful for!

Of course, these are things I am thankful everyday!

I'm thankful for having such a wonderpurr husband ..My sweet Alfie!

I'm thankful for having my best girlfriend & sisfur, Hannah, and my TWB family!

I'm thankful for my Mommy who loves me with all her heart even though I am missing. I'm still with her in heart and spirit.

I'm thankful for my brother Preston who helps keep Mommy going..

I'm thankful for my home, TKC, and all my wonderpurr friends there who are my extended family!

I'm thankful for all my wonderpurr friends who also helped me with our Auction for the Texas Wild Bunch family! I know Teri and her furramily are very grateful, too.

Last, but not least, I am thankful for Catster. Although I haven't been too happy with them since the new changes, Mommy & I are grateful we found this site, because if we didn't, we would have never met our special friends!

Thank you for being apart of my life! I love you all so, so much, and wish you a pawsome Thanksgiving day!

Hugs & Purrs,
~Twixy
