Zack has been sick for a while now but I could not bring myself to meow about him in my diary. I am an angel so that does that mean I am always happy? I wish that was so. It is almost unbearable sometimes to watch a beloved friend struggle for his life. All I can do is purr and be there beside him and hope that he feels me. I wish there was no pain, no suffering. I wish our life span was much much longer. I wish leaving earth would always be as easy as going gently to sleep. I wish I didn't have to stand by helplessly watch the tears flow from the sad eyes of frightened moms. I would give anything to make these wishes true but of course I cannot. So I purr and purr and when the fight is over I am there to escort my sweet friend to the Bridge. That is my job as an angel~a job I take very seriously. My purr is strong and full of love. I love you sweet Zacky~ Love always~ Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/568733 Wed, 11 Mar 2009 03:01:49 PDT Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/568733 I was fairly new to catster when I first met Cookie We discovered that we shared a birthday~ April ... Cookie We discovered that we shared a birthday~ April 1st~ except in 2007 he turned 20 and I had turned 4. Before catster I have never heard of kitties living to be 20! Cookie seemed ageless and I really thought he would live forever. He had such an amazing life. He picked his mom when he was a tiny kitten and she was a 5 year old girl. All it took was a wink and she was his! Can you imagine sharing your life for almost 22 years? There must be a cat shaped hole in his mom's heart. My angel pals and I will teach Cookie (once he is settled and feels confident about using his wings) how to visit his mom. Love is forever my sweet friend. Love also hurts Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/563926 Mon, 23 Feb 2009 19:55:41 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/563926 and I am actually smiling through my tears.

I am a DDP! Thank you HQ Someday I really need to solve the mystery about how you pic ... No actual diary entry. He is a winner?! Clearly we are not picked for our awesome writing skills. I am sorry I don't mean to sound ungrateful. I am very grateful. I know when I am on the homepage others will read my diary. Today hopefully you read about sweet Muppie I was so unhappy and frustrated about what was happening to her I had to write about it. I am thrilled that she is doing better. Remember when mom told you that she saw me and felt me for a moment? Guess what?My sweet friend Chelsea Louise's mom saw me and my friends as beautiful kitty clouds.How awesome is that? I best start at the beginning.. CL told me her mom was flying back to the USA from England. She asked me if I could keep an eye on her mom who is a bit afraid of flying. I have so many friends, I thought it would be fun to fly alongside her.I am a gurdian angel, after all! The word just spread, everyone wanted to come.... Please read the story. as told by CL She did such a lovely job,made my mom cry happy tears. Thank you CL! Love always Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/536616 Tue, 9 Dec 2008 10:46:49 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/536616 Many of you know sweet little Muppet's story. Such a rough start in life. Then the amazing rescue. ... Muppet's story. Such a rough start in life. Then the amazing rescue. Finding a mom who loves her with all her heart. The scary situation of needing surgery or dying. Surgery which she could not afford. The absolutely miraculous way catster came together to raise way over the $5.000 needed for the surgery. A successful surgery! So why am I so worried about Muppet now? Muppet was sent home on Friday. Mom was told she is making nice progress and she is eating. Well guess what she wasn't and isn't. She took her back to the vet WHO WAS NOT THERE! HE SIMPLY DIDN'T SHOW UP A new vet was found in the area. That is where Muppet is now. I think catster is collectively holding its breath. After all this there has to be happy ending to Muppie's story. Please let's all purr for this precious soul Purr Power Love always Wally A proud Muppethead HAPPY UPDATE I just received a sweet rosie from Muppie in response to the milk rosie I had given her: Hi Wally, I don't know what was in that milk you sent, but whatever it was it worked! *giggles* I can eat on my own now & I'm coming home tomorrow at 2 pm! *high-paw-five* Luvs & Hugs for you & your wonderful family, Lil' Grateful Muppet" And this update from her mom: I finally have some better news on little Muppet. She is eating on her own and my last report was that she was grooming herself and was alert being her cute purring kitty-self! Hurray!Her problem turned out not to be from paralysis, but from inflammation and pain. Once given proper pain meds and an anti-inflammatory, she began eating and has perked up. I had another vet consult with her surgeon and I feel comfortable now leaving Muppet in her surgeon's care. He didn't believe Muppet was in bad pain, however the other vet convinced him to put Muppet on Tramadol and it's working. HAPPY HAPPY DAY!! PURR POWER Love always Wally aka muppethead]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/534145 Tue, 2 Dec 2008 05:40:34 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/534145 It started late last night with an anonymous pretty red heart rosie. In it was the sweetest kimi ... kimi This morning I looked at again and my curiosity level just hit the stratosphere. It is so sweet, made mom leak of course ~so why anonmouise? At first I wanted to put in my diary to show my friends who actually read my diary (that is still boggles the mind of this kitty but that's another story) When I saved it to my computer the file had the name, loveisforwally. Again, so sweet. Suddenly I had a lightbulb moment. My sister in love~ Hannah is a detective in Samoa's detective agency. I have learned a trick or two from her. Do you know that when you right click on an image it will give you its "properties"? See it is rather difficult to be anonymous on the net. This one said the image was in a photobucket album named bobcat. Hmm.....I know a family on catster who has a kitty named BOBCAT They are friends of ours too! Could it be? The photobucket account is private so I could not go any farther there. I found Bobcat whose family includes my angel pal Rufus. Most of the gifts they have given has no pictures just wonderful heartfelt sentiments. Finally did find one...... DRUM ROLL PLEASE The photobucket account is named bobcat YES!!!! BUSTED!!!! Rufus my friend, I don't know why you wanted to stay an anon mousie but thanks for the fun and the most of all thanks so much for the wonderful kimi. \You are a sweet friend and I love you ! Meet me at The Heavenly Ice Cream Shop. I will buy you some salmon ice cream. Yummy! Headbutts and purrs Wally UPDATE I just got back from the candle site I have 32 candles from 3 countries. Reading all the lovely messages made mom teary again. All I want to do is leave my paw print on as many hearts as I can. So many wonderful friends whom I love so dearly. I promise to keep watching over you. I will always be there for you. Thank you dear Hannah for starting the candle lighting. I am almost ashamed to admit it but when Hannah first mentioned it to me ~my first thought was oh no, nobody is going to light candles for me AGAIN! I should have known better cause that's the kind of friends I have ************************ I heard from Rufus' sister Briana she explains that the reason Rufus sent the anon rosie (YEP I WAS RIGHT! IT WAS RUFUS!) is because he was afraid I would not like it. Hello? What's not to like. Silly dude. It isn't about how "good" a kimi is.It is about at the love and thought that went into making it. How could I not be grateful and touched by that. I will treasure it always. Headbutts and purrs Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/533683 Sun, 30 Nov 2008 21:38:02 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/533683 It is December 1st on the East Coast so I decided to start the day by making a difference in a kitt ... Best Friends. I found a beautiful brown tabby named GRISELDA whose face tugged at my heart even before I read her story. This is what the site says about her: Some people feel sorry for Griselda when they first meet her. She was born with a neurological condition that makes her shake uncontrollably. But she doesn't want people to feel sorry for her. She just wants them to love her! She's in no pain at all, and she's got plenty of ornery spirit in her. Though she's darling most of the time, she'll swipe and swat with her claws when she gets a mind to! She's not humbled by her condition on little bit. She came to Best Friends because her New York street was undergoing construction, and all the stray cats had to go. The others found homes, but Griselda's shakiness didn't appeal to people. So she came to Best Friends, where there are other cats like her, and where she'll be loved no matter how much she wobbles. I know my Wally will watch over her.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/533084 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 03:18:19 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/533084 Friday eve when mom was finally happy with my remembrance kimi and put up on my page, the first on ... Hazel Lucy She wrote: Your page is beautiful, just like your soul. And I know you will send your mom a sign soon. Hmm? I have been trying HL but maybe not hard enough so I concentrated really hard... I will let mom tell the rest. Time gets away from me when I am on my computer~especially on catster. It was quiet in my house. Only my computer light was on.I was actually feeling OK I just love making those kimis and I think Wally's turned out well. I remember glancing at the clock, it was around 1 AM Thought to myself time to go to bed. I felt one of my boys brush against my leg. I smiled and thought, see? Even they are telling you to come to bed. I reached down and stroked warm fur, felt the vibration of a running motor. Something made me glance at my bed (right beside my computer) My heart skipped a beat. Alfie and Teddy Bearz were all cuddled up together sleeping. I rolled the chair back but of course there was nobody there. I felt this wonderful peaceful feeling wash over me. I whispered: Thank you my sweet Wally Bear. Mom loves you forever and a day. UPDATE My sweet friends, thank you so much for your wonderful messages for the gifties and for using my picture. I am going to ask you to me a favor/ Please don't to make it your main. Mom is happy too see a stroll. Please tag the picture Remembering Wally And put your adorable faces back to where they belong. I have to share with you the most wonderful message my beautiful friend KC Sunshine ^PAWS^sent Your mommy's heart is hurting and she longs for her Wally angel so much. What a precious gift you gave your mommy -- your presence, a touch, contented purrs, a gesture of forever love that brought peace and a smile. May your presence and love fill her heart with comfort and peace.

I am still trying to thank each and eve ... Chelsea Louise wrote this morning~ Wally, you were just an Angel kitty even on earth. ...to remind us of why we are here in the first place. Unfortunately, it seems these angels just can't stay here on earth for too long. We are broken hearted when these angel beings leave but then we have to smile when we think of the love and all the things they taught us while we were here.... Of course Mom cried again but they are not sad tears. They are the kind of tears that bring relief ... What makes this even more special is the fact that Chelsea Louise and I became friends not all that long ago. She has read my diary. She loves me. Where else but on catster? Thank you CL. I am so grateful to have you for a friend. I love you too. My Sophie's mom wrote to mine telling mom to"hold on to her hand." She is one of the kindest humans. We are grateful for the never ending support and love. Hazel Lucy sent a heart asking me "to send mom a message" I have HL, I know she can feel my presence especially when we do my diary. If only she could kiss my head.. just once? The fact that she can't ever again do that, that is what so difficult to accept. Purrs purrs and more purrs...... Chelsea Louise asked to keep my eye on her sweet guy Skinner who is sick. I am doing just that! I love that sweet boy! I am also purring for Muppet to have her surgery and get well! Can you imagine? I can. So many are having such a difficult time~ Miracle and her family need a miracle and soon!! Their house burned down and they lost everything..How can you not have your own home when Christmas is almost here. I am purring for good news from the vet for my friend and catster bro Arnold P. He got another report that said they got all the bad stuff during the surgery. That is not what the first report said!! How can that be happening to my friend? I purr they can make sure without more surgery. Purring purring and purring. Angels have lots of time to do that.

Sophie write she was weeping at the very thought of new pictures of me! No crying my love! There has been enough crying. I insist in happy smiles! So many of my friends wrote as well. Thank you for writing but as always ~ thank you my great friends for reading my diary. This humble tabby is so blown away! Knowing that I am still loved~ is the biggest treasure of them all. My sweet friend Emily Felicity wrote that she can't wait to see my pix. She said that she will miss me (her parents will be gone from catster for 8 days! I will be right here waiting for you! Please tell mom and dad to have a safe trip!) Sweet orangie dude Titch dropped by to say I must have been a cute baby and that baby pix are their favourite thing! My angel pal Rufus dropped by with advice. Saying mom could always take a digital picture of the original.Hmm,that is an idea! Beautiful orangie, KC Sunshine ^Paws^ offered her mommy's scanner! How sweet is that? They live in NJ! Pretty Angel Tigger sent a pumpkin with the message that she was looking forward to seeing the pix! Catsy Angel Princesswrote: Doesn't your Mommy know that we angels are always working to comfort our humans? I know you guided her to those photos because your Bridge anniversary is coming. Aw sweet Catsy, I think mom is finally convinced. The picture were in such an unexpected place that she would never have found them without my help. Even my current main pix was a recent find. Mom and I were looking at my stars given to me when I first joined this awesome site. Well that led us to an old friend's page and his guestbook. I couldn't remember if I had signed it or not and so I looked and there was this picture that mom no longer had on her computer!

November 8 marked our second anniversary at catster. We all completely forgot ... Monty just payed for our subscription renewal. Otherwise who knows when we would have remembered. Now if only mom can not think about December 1st. Another thing is~Mom doesn't receive gifts well. She really prefers to give. This one really knocked her for a loop. Unexpected and sweet but she already paid some time ago. So they better give Monty his money back. We have 2 candles on our cake! I think Alfie should make a kimi to celebrate our two years on the best site on the net!

This ... Albie chosen today to be COTD is a such a joy. Now members of the wider community who may not even know sweet Albie can reach out and comfort his mom. You feel the empathy and the kindness of strangers. You feel the love. It is as simple and as complicated as that. When my Wally died, I lived on this computer. There have been so many heartaches here lately. So many fur friends who have left us just this past month. I have wept for Bee Jazzi Kinsey Mandy Macallan But there is always one that breaks your heart. Albie's death really devastated me. His sudden death; his sweet gentle face; His grieving brother Alfie; it all parallels our lives. I feel for his mom, Jennifer. I worry about their Alfie who is taking Albie's death hard... I am still grieving for my Wally. As the first anniversary of his death approaches it is like no time passed at all. Please don't get me wrong. I have come to genuinely believe in the Rainbow Bridge and that these angels are happy and enjoying their 1oth life. It's just some days it is cold comfort to me. I would give anything to kiss my precious Wally's great big head; to hug him and have him hug me back; To once again hear his mighty purr..... Love and Hugs Eva~ always and forever Wally's mama.]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/522978 Mon, 3 Nov 2008 09:36:04 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/522978 My sweet friend Albie arrived at the Bridge today.

It's a big, cold world, And I'm a tiny, cold kitten, Hiding here, under the bush. -I hear you, little one.- What did we do wrong? Why did they throw us out Of the warm house Where Mama is? They put all six of us Out here, alone. We huddled together All night, in the cold. But my brothers and sisters Have all stopped moving. It's getting very cold, And the rain is soaking me. I don't know how to find food, And I'm so tired. -Your brothers and sisters Have gone to a good place.- Please help me! Will I go there, too? -Not now, not yet. Cry out, little one.- Help me! Help me! Here! Under this bush! I'm hungry! I'm cold! -Louder, child.- HELP ME! SOMEONE! ANYONE! I'M LOST! DON'T LEAVE ME HERE! I WANT TO LIVE! -Look in front of you.- I see big shoes! -I put them on the path to you.- I see a face! -I turned it toward you.- Ah, warm hands have picked me up! -They know kittens well. They needed a new little one, Like you, To fill a hole in their heart, And an empty place in their home.- They have put me in their coat. I will love them. My purr will warm us both! -Farewell, child. Your prayer, And theirs, Was heard.- --Mike Blanche Perhaps someday the world will have more empathy and love for it's tiny helpless creatures. As the great Mahatma Ghandi said "The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated." The world is far from great, I hope one day it will be.

One of such kitties as s ... MR D , I always knew that this story would have a happy ending. I never imagined it would take this long. He was found exactly 6 months to the day he had gone missing. My mom received this letter from his mom, Karyn: ********************** Hi Eva I'm up, it's 11:50 pm and I am really tired but my husband has to get up very early and D is asleep on the bed. Sam has tired twice to get on the bed but then throws a hissy fit when she finds D in her place. So I'm now up to keep the peace. I can sleep tomorrow, no more D hunting for me. Darwin is in excellent shape, a little skinner but otherwise really good, with-out a mark on him. Amazing. I really hope things settle down here. I'll have to hunt through the cupboards, because when I was doing the trapping I brought some stuff to put in the water to calm them. I might just put it in the water here. Darwin is really good and very laid back, It's the rest that are saying where have you been and you are in my place. I suppose it's only been a few hours. You know I was in the cat suit well the lady said she saw that, then she saw it in the paper. When she looked out her window she saw a ginger cat and decided to ring me. Well like the rest I was around there like a shot and low and behold it was him. I called him he was sitting up a path to an old house. He meowed at me and kept meowing. I kept calling him and he came right up to me and I put down some of their treats. He eat them so fast I did a quick inspection of him to confirm to myself it was him then grabbed him so fast I didn't want to let him go. There was a lady in the street and I ask her if she could open my car so I could put Darwin in. I shoved him in so fast and shut the door then I went to the house he was in front of to make sure I wasn't steeling anyone's newly found cat (our Darwin) The lady in the house said yes there has been a ginger cat living under her house and meowing a lot but she said she hasn't feed him. This lady also had no idea I was looking for Darwin. I then raced back to the car not knowing how to get back in without letting D out. I tried to get the cat carrier but gave up. I just jump in car when D wasn't looking and crawled home with a cat loose in my car. LOL he was walking all over the car and it took me ages to get home. Now we are home as it's like old times with him, when I go to walk off he ankles taps me, then he tries to climb up on me. I pick him up till he wants down again, then it's back to the ankle taps again. LOL I'm so happy ************************************************** Oh happy day!

One of mom's catster friends wrote to mom that she has foster babies. Could she name one for me? First I must tell you, this friend is 16 years old. She has been fostering kitten since she was 11. Mom met her when she saw one of the fosters and helped her find him a home. She had no idea her wonderful friend, Brittany was so young. She confessed to mom worried that mom would not want such a young friend. Needless to say mom adores her. She doesn't have any idea how special she is~smart and funny and willing to say up nights for weeks and week bottle feeding these very young kittens. DearWally I know you are loved and you are in good and loving hands. I purr that you will find a loving forever home. Mom would take you if only you were not so far away. I will watch over you for all your days.

It feels like I have always loved her and I always will. I can't help but feel that she got shortchanged loving me. She is going to be upset that I said that but that is how I feel. Someday we will be together my love, forever and a day. Thank you my sweet friend Queenie and your lovely family for the wonderful suprise waiting for me this morning at TWT. WOW!

Noooooo Sweet *Elsa* also wrote. She used to write that her dad wanted to kidnap me. I would always write, OK! I would love to visit the little lioness It must have been the night for missing me cause I got an amazing letter from *Simon* He included a poem that he wrote. OMC! It is so beautiful. Mom cried and cried. She is somewhat obsessed with keeping my memory alive. The poem really got to her. Simon apologized for it being "late." It is the purrfect time sweet guy. An Ode to my furriend Wally I know you may think I am slow to the gate, Since this poem for Wally is coming so late. But it is not that I simply forgot About our sweet and dearest mascot. In fact, I simply couldn't find the words to say How deeply saddened I was that day... And the next... And the next... And the next... His absence burrowed into my soul I felt like my heart had turned to coal - The words, they simply couldn't come out right, No matter what I said, whether day or night. He had been so strong for me during hard times, And for him I couldn't assemble even simple rhymes. I felt like I'd failed him by not singing his praise But I was caught in such a tumultuous daze - My dearest Wally, my bud, my angel, my love I know that you are happy up above. You've told us, through Teddy, that you are keeping an eye On us, here on earth, from your perch in the sky. Please know that your departure truly shook the foundation Of this, our Olde Furts and Catster Nation. I miss you, your words, and I shed a tear Each time realize you're no longer here - But I just wanted you to know that I didn't forget, That I my heart and soul is full of regret That I couldn't express in a more timely way All that you mean to me every single day. The shock was so intense, the pain so profound, That until now I've been unable to utter a sound. I know you are finally healthy, happy and light Especially now that you have learned to take flight. Just know how much you have affected us here and that I look forward to when you will again be near. Thank you for all the love. I still miss you Love is forever Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/398939 Fri, 7 Dec 2007 18:48:22 PST Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/398939 ~I was lying on mom's bed with my head on her pillow.

I will leave that for the poets. I am physically purrfect and yet I still feel a little lost.. I had this dream of being with you in real life on Cat Island and it is very hard to let go of that dream.. I do want you to know that it is true what everyone says.. Love lives on.. I love you so very much..I have met many friends here and they all talk about their loved ones and how that is the one thing that is missing here. They tell me that the longing I feel will be less powerful but always there...until one day when we are together for all time. Life is a precious gift my sweet Sophie. I want you to be happy. Play and go strolling and roll in catnip.. When you go to sleep have sweet dreams..I may be there giving you gentle whisker kisses..

Almost all of them star ... *Tyler* wrote this awesome poem,I must share it with you. Mommy’s little baby boy, Little tiger, full of joy, It somehow wasn’t meant to be For you to spend more time with me. Mommy’s little baby bear, I looked for you, but you weren’t there, I felt you in my heart it’s true, And knew for sure that it was you. And then tonight as I reposed, A glistening angel before me rose, Her wings were pink and shiny bright, She hovered near to my delight. She gently whispered in my ear “Do not worry, do not fear, It’s no use Alfie, he’s here with me, Wally’s in Heaven now you see. His burden was a heavy one, So God saw fit to call him home, And now he sits upon the moon, Just know that you will see him soon”. Then up on angel dust she flew, And a certain familiarity grew, The angel smiled, and as she did I saw that it was my sweet Syd! Sweetest sister and brother mine Are now together for all time, They’re by God’s side and well I know, One day I’ll be asked to go. But just for now, Earthbound I’ll be, It’s by my mommy’s side for me, Another mommy’s baby boy, I promise I will bring you joy. And this sweet poem from the heart of my friend and catser brotherArn I'm gonna try to put in words my thoughts but it will be so hard. You see my buddy passed away, I've never had a sadder day. Dear Wally, how you broke our hearts. We knew you were sick from the start. Still, we thought you would outlive us, You proved us wrong; we want to cuss. But cussing will not bring you back, your presence we will always lack. But please, we beg, I hope you hear it, We want to know your gentle spirit. Your body must leave, we understand, We'll get through this by holding hands. But the loss we will not overcome if you don't still share with us some. cry cry We love you, Wally! Please don't go away forever! cry I honestly don't know what to say. You have touched my mom's broken heart and she is smiling through her tears. I live on at catster and in the hearts of all who love me.

Yesterday afternoon when I came home from the vet, my mouth was so sore after the cleaning I could not eat. My mom thinks I was also a bit loopy. My pupils were huge. Anyway, I kept going to my dish and look like I didn't know how to eat. In fact I only ate this morning~ a long time without food for me. Mom put my chow on the floor and sat down beside me. She was ready to coax me if need be. But I started eating. Mom said she never heard my motor go so loud! The cute part? I would stop eating and go and butt my forehead against hers and return to eat. I did this over and over again.. Gosh, it takes so little to make a mom happy. She says I am the best headbutter! Must be my big head.

You know mom always had a feeling that ... *GIZMO* said you were a rock cake, remember? We thought you would get to be a very grouchy old lady.......... This is mom's 3rd kitty~ the first Wally her beloved tux, Nikki the beautiful tabby never made it to their 6th birthday and now you, only 5 1/2 years old. I have great memories of you my sweet sis. Remember when I was just a kitten? You were the one who showed me the ropes. You even smacked me once or twice. But that's OK I learned from you that it wasn't cool to scratch the leather couch. I know I made a big mistake one day when I forgot myself and I thought you were my fur mommy. You were sleeping and I shoved my little face in your belly and tried to suckle. I was hungry!! You looked at me with the most amazed eyes! I didn't know your eyes could get so big! I heard mom laughing, but you smacked me good. You run off and after that we were never really close..I am so sorry about that... When I see pictures of sibs snuggling I always wished it could have been like that in our home.. I hope you are truly happy now. I know you have family but also so many friends at the Bridge. One day we shall meet again my sweet sister. Until then please watch over us. I love you~ Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/378344 Fri, 19 Oct 2007 18:30:14 PDT Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/378344 I love this and I just have to share it with you.

She went, they poked her in the hand Next she knew she'd been all scanned. They said it's probably not cancer but more than likely a giant ulcer. We'll know for sure this coming Tuesday In the meantime we want together to say: We love you so, and all your kindness. To not would amount to only blindness. So thank you all and every one for rosies and purrs for me and my "son". Arnold loves you so much and so do I. On that you can always and ever rely. From Arnold and his very grateful Mom OMC! Will not stop purring until Tuesday comes and we hear that all is well.

It seems Chrissy's mom also has health problems of her own. She very casually told me her mom had "minor" back surgery today. I don't know about you, but the word ~surgery ~scares me.

When we heard from her mom yesterday we were numb with shock. I am trying to smile through my tears.. I imagine the joy at the Bridge when ^Bill^ (An Angel now) and Amelia are reunited. So many friends will be there to greet her including our angels. I am so grateful to my pal, *Simon* I don't know if I could have done this without his help. What an amazing little dude he is. I simply have to share this poem that he wrote in Amelia's honor. I must purr for a miracle Amelia this cannot be true! But how can I purr for a miracle When I already got one - YOU! Your warmth your caring your spirit and love Is so divine It must be from above! So rather than wallow cry and pout I just need to remember What miracles are about. Just knowing you is such a gift That the magic is from Your spiritual lift. So thank you for answering my purrayer by having had Dear Amelia there Through the good and bad That life may bring She's always been Able to make my soul sing.

Well guess what? I have an awful lot of treats all of a sudden. MOL You guys are so sweet and such sweet liars I also added a little video clip playing with my mom bootlaces~one of my favorite toys. Forget story bought stuff. I am very happy with my bootlace! I also entered the photo contest, put a link on my page and guess what the link is not working and for some reason I can't access my picture. *sigh* I guess I will try again tomorrow. Not that I have a bat's in h**l of winning. Some very pawsome pictures are entered! And even if by some miracle I win?

But I digress...She came in and instead of going to greet her like I always do, I headed for the stroller and jumped in. OK mom, let's rock and roll! Wally, she said I am so tired... MEOW? MEOW? MEOW? was all I said~very loudly too! Wally please? MEOW! MEOW! MEOWWWWW!!!!! It worked. We went for a very nice walk. The sun was still shining the birds were singing. Wally was very happy with the breeze on his face. When we came home she had a little talk with me. She said, Wally, this is Montreal, very soon it will be winter and it will be cold and there will be snow... OK Mom, and your point is??? Purr Power, Wally PS. I just got a rosie from my sweet friend Hazel Lucy she said she would bet my mom felt better after the walk too... So mom agreed we should add this. Yes HL, you are absolutely right! Mom felt much better.Walking is the best exercise for non-felines. So let's see~ hmmm~ this makes me a selfless kitty who wants to go strolling for mom's health.

Well it all started with mom having a horrendous mo ... listen up *Arn* ~ we took the stroller! And for the first time I loved it! ( I have photos to prove it) Mom was excited cause she just saved at least $20.00 on cab fare. Of course that money and then some went to the vet.. It is a beautiful day here, still summer. The birds were chirping and people in cars waved to me and on the street they stopped to talk to me. What a handsome kitty they said..At the vet they have never seen a stroller and they thought it was the cutest thing! Except for one grouchy man who said, "now this has got to be one spoiled cat who needs to be pushed in a stroller"~ Mom got a bit miffed and said, "Well I don't think walking him on leash to the vet would work,do you?!" Are you getting a feeling that I am stalling talking about the vet? Cause I am. It was all OK, Dr Kalin loves me, she kept saying "Wally is the sweetest cat." I think she is pretty sweet too until she pushed a finger right into my back side~ How humiliating, how painful! I said a very loud OW~ OW ~OWWWW which they all found cute cause there was no M so I sounded so human....(well I am partly human!) She was reluctant to give me an enema without first taking an X ray. She showed the x ray to mom and my bowel was backed up way, way backed up. She said to mom I would have to stay and they would call her when they were done with me. Lucky for me I have no clue what an enema is but I was less then thrilled to see mom leave me. Mom was on her way out the door when the pretty tech lady, Dena came running after mom. They were so amazed. Dena put me in a cage where I would wait for the enema.She went to get a litterbox, but by the time she came back I pooped in the cage. I simply could not hold it. They were not "pebbles" this time either. I am so ashamed of myself~mortified!!*Wally turns crimson just thinking about it.*Doc was laughing. She thought maybe it was a combination of stress and her finger.She even said she had a "magic finger" Very funny. But at least I didn't need an enema!! Oh and the bestest news of all?! The strict diet my mom has me on is working!!! I lost over half a pound. Doc was so happy about that. She said that's 3% of my body fat. Keep up the good work.YAY!! So we had a nice stroll home and now I am going to take a nap with mom We are pooped~ MOL Purr Power Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/368255 Mon, 24 Sep 2007 11:23:20 PDT Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/368255 We have been without a server for the past 4 days.

Sadly I also missed giving my sweet nephew his first birthday party. I am speaking of the adorable Alex Finnegan "Finney", Finney is very special. Those of you who know him, know that he was one of the kitties who ate tainted food and came close to dying.

She looks at the computer screen and looks at me. She feels a wave of affection and comes over to me. Didn't have far to go ( I am on the bed next to her watching her check me out on the computer ) I will refrain from commenting on the absurdity of this. So where was I? Oh yea. She cups my face and lands a kiss right on my mouth that is smack in the middle of my FB and she says BLECH! BLECH??? Your breath stinks Wally-Bear. Well gee thanks for sharing that with the world, MOTHER! Worse! It stinks she said cause my teeth are not so groovy. I hate letting her brush them.

Her mom writes Raven spent 2 solid weeks waiting at the door for her daddy to come home. I am humbled by such love and devotion.

So when the PURINA EN came out and I liked it so much mom decided it was certainly worth a try. The change in my body was almost instantaneous. I am eating less,(pred made me hungry hungry hungry~ Normal poopies (Sorry if that is too much info. But it is such a big part of what IBD is. No more moaning and groaning in mom's ear at night (we share a pillow...when bro Alpha Alfie lets.) So thanks again KC for caring enough to write.

Jules Verne Cat of the Day when he died. This is different. This is silly frivolous fun but it is also personal cause it involves my amazing funny creative adorable bro. Yes you *ARN* I can't even imagine what he was thinking when he created a game using a vegetable ~ If you ask me that is all those yucky green things are good for but a game? I would never have thought of it! MOL When I saw everybody changing their main pictures to an image of bb, yea right I thought. Never happen. I changed mine for Arn cause I support my brother whatever is his endeavor and now the bb rosie is born! Thanks HQ! Congratulations Arn Your dream is a reality. How cool is that?! ****************************************************** I have admired Arn's poems in the Olde Furts Poetry Thread and now he has written one just for me. Here it is: Oh, woe is me, how can it be, I miss my Wally so. I took my pal to be my bro, His face, now, I don't see. cry Wally's a true friend, right until the end. To everyone he meets with rosies he does greet. Hope his 'puter's on the mend! So that's my tale of woe, My life seems, oh, so slow! Without my buddy dear, Seems no one is 'round here. I hope summer soon will go! OMC! How often do I get poems written for me? (Not Very) *Wally wipes a tear from his eye* I love you Arnold P! You are without a doubt the best. I am no poet so I will just promise you this: I will always love you. Forever and a day~ Thank you~ I also hope summer will soon go.....

I should say what happened to it. I am talking about glitterfy.com ... glitterfy.com Between Google's image search and this site my family and I were able to do some very original rosies and stars. So what did they do? They took away the upload feature. Now you can only do it by downloading their tool bar! Well guess what? Auntie H said go for it. (Remember it is not our puter we are using.) We did some research and while it does have some spyware in it~it is pretty much harmless. So guess what? We turned off the spy detector... Must say it did make us nervous. Imagine killing Auntie H computer too! But now it was a fight between human and the machine. So there we were loading and it was all cool until Hello? it informed us it was replacing the anti spyware software on Auntie H's puter with their better one! I don't think so!! How sneaky can they get. So we stopped everything and swept the computer. All cool. But I still don't have a way to add text and glitter to pictures. *WHINE* So why am I telling you all this fascinating ...not stuff ? I am hoping somebody reading this will know of another site that allows for adding text and glitter to a picture. *SIGH* I know! I will ask Hannah maybe she knows. She always has the most unusual pictures that's for sure. Well the day was not all bad! Managed to talk to my brothers! Yesterday I had a nice letter from *COOKIE* Although I must say I am really worried about him. His mom is going to be away at Grad school and Cookie will be living with his grandma. Well there is only one mom,yea? But at this stage you just don't want to stress out a 20 year old kitty. So that is the dilemma. What is more stressful? Moving or having grandma taking care of him..I know they will keep an eye on him but I love that dude and I want him to be in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest kitty ever! Had a nice chat with my other bros *ARNOLD P* who has been so supportive in these stressful times..And last but never least my funny bro *GIZMO* When I read his messages I am always grinning. He just makes me laugh! Some more good news. Sweet *Amelia* is doing better and didn't need a transfusion! YEA! The power of purr And also Sydney's nephew *Cassi* is doing so well they were able to cancel his 3 month visit to the cardiologist. More PURR POWER!!!!! Heard from my sweet adorable girl *SOPHIE* And I hope I will hear from her again tonight..Although I will have to go now or Auntie H is going to charge rent MOL One of the many wonderful things about sweet Sophie is that she understands. She loves me! YEA!! I love you too Sophie!! I think I will end this on that very happy note.

I am usually not this negative. My diary is called the diary ... ***ARN*** bought us zealies!!!! How awesome is that? I was just getting worried cause we were getting awfully low and we do love giving them to our friends and mom said. Wally! We can't afford any right now. So my dear sweet generous bro came to our rescue! My mom got all leaky eyed and gave my head a good soaking. Has she heard of tissues?? Thank you Arn, there are simply not enough words to describe how you have touched our hearts. This is the first time ever anyone has done this for us. We are simply overwhelmed. We love you! Then just now I got p-mail from my sweet friend Hazel Lucy She must read the diaries of her friends becuase she always has a sweet comment. But this time it was beyond sweet. She read my previous entry about me being stressed and she wrote asking if I have heard of Bach Flower Remedies. Well hello?! Somebody is having a blonde moment here. YES! We have it in the house for our wild child sister~Syd. Now why didn't mom think of this? Thank you HL you are truly a special friend. I also heard from my lovely and oh so sweet **SOPHIE** She just cheers me up by being a part of my life. I seem to star in her diary daily. That is so sweet.

I am not a jumper, not even when I was a kitten. V.E.T said this is because x rays showed I was born with a defective spine. HA!!! So now I am a big fat kitty and I jumped. Take a look at the second picture on my page. Photographic evidence. Leave it to my MOTHER to get the camera. OH! The perch is 45 inches from the floor! I measured it. Mom thinks I even lost a bit of weight and I have been feeling lots better. (Must be cause I am in love!!! Thanks my sweet **SOPHIE** Cross paws and purr for me every one.

At first mom got very busy. Sh ... He had not opened the door!!!! Reluctantly mom let it go. We spend a sleepless night, watching but not really seeing TV. Even Alfie felt something was up cause he was awfully whiny. Lying in bed we watched morning break, the sun rising was a beautiful sight. Wherever she was at least it was not in the dark anymore... Day passed with lots of pmail, rosies and stars. Mom went on her many tours of the neighborhood. Our lovely friends showing their support really made such a big difference. I hope you all know that. Thanks again from the depth of our hearts. We love and appreciate you (There will be more personal thanks in the coming days when mom's fingers function better!) Grandpa came home just before dinner time and was dismayed to hear that Syd was missing. He was tired but he wanted to help mom. They talked it over and again the nagging thought came up that she had to be in one of the apartments on our floor. Mom decided to go back to the hippies. This time B answered the door. The dining room table was visible from the doorway and mom nearly passed out~ Sydney was sitting in the middle of the table having PIZZA!!!! WTM??? The room reeked of you know what. We think Sydney was stoned. Cats get stoned? Does any kitty know? When mom got upset they kept saying~ "relax man!" RELAX MAN??? They said she had just strolled out from under the bed and they thought they were just being "good neighbors" by giving her some food first. PIzza with anchovies for a kitty? *sigh* It was hopeless they seem to inhabit another universe. So B says what about our reward? YEP, they got $100.00 It seems the poster in the elevator penetrated the fog they live in....... Sydney has not been a lap cat for a long time. (Well she does come to mom and sit on/ by her legs at night but she does not allow mom to carry her. Coming home not only did she allow herself to be carried but she shoved her head into mom's neck and PURRED. She has been sleeping in mom's lap as she types our diaries.(All of a sudden our Syd has turned into a Velcro Kitty firmly stuck to mom. She has not asked for food nor did she take any when mom tried to feed her. ( I hope she isn't expecting PIZZA from now on!) She also looks a bit skinnier, is that possible? Just in case you are wondering the hippies also have a sweet little kitty (who seemed to make herself scarce while Sydney was visiting.) What a good little hostess. Her humans could learn from her! So lucky Syd had access to water and a litter box.) So that is it. That was my sister's little adventure. When we think how much worse things could have been for grandpa and our Syd we are grateful we are all together tonight and reasonably well.. Can't wait for a good night's sleep. Mom is still officially on vacation. Tomorrow she is planning to sleep in. Well, after she fed us at 5:00 am One more time thank you lovely friends. We will thank each and everyone of you soon. My sweet Sophie, I love you. I definitely could not have done this without you.

I am happy about that cause I missed you all te ... **SOPHIE** and my bestest friends and bros in the world, *ARN* and ***GIZMO*** Where do I start? Mom mentioned something about Murphy's law: "If anything can go wrong it will." She never really felt right about going. A natural worry wart? Or in this case a bit of ESP? She took a great big book about Marie Antoinette by Antonia Frasier. She kept reading the same page over and over again. It was hot and wasps were everywhere and she is truly terrified of them. ( One time she was stung and landed in the hospital. (Wasn't exactly an allergy or she would not be typing this but it was a nasty experience anyway.) So this is the good part of the vacation. This morning she called home and got no answer. This is what was happening at home. Grandpa trips over Alfie (Alfie denies this but his name is not Underfoot for nothing!) Grandpa knocks himself out. At approximately the same time. The apartment down the hall has a fire. ( Later I find out that it is the elderly lady who has Alzheimer's and is living with her young granddaughter ( who is never home)~set fire to something on the stove The lady not the granddaughter.) Our friend Sandy arrives and can't get in (grandpa is still out cold.) Fire alarm is making me deaf. But I do hear the knocking. I scratch at the door like a good boy! Firemen brake the door down. Sandy calls an ambulance. By now grandpa is screaming bloody murder. HE HATES HOSPITALS!!!!!!!!!! Sandy calls mom who makes the two hour trip in one (Nuff said about that!) Mom rushes to hospital..Spends hours there. Docs can't accept a simple fall. They are worried about a possible stroke. So they insist he is staying overnight. Sandy stays at the house where now we have no door.(It has since been fixed) Mom comes home gives us great big kisses and hugs. First me and then Alfie rudely jumps into her arms. She stops and says where is my girl? House gets searched and searched again. Sydney is not in the house. Sydney is now officially MISSING. Mom and Sandy make a poster. Sandy and mom went to post them around the neighborhood. Mom called vets in the area and the SPCA I think mom is in shock. She finally sat down. Her suitcase is open on the bed. I barfied in it. Sorry mom. I can't take all this stress! SYDNEY ROSE please come home! Grandpa please be well! I love you MOM, please, be strong. PURR POWER~ Wally PS Mom thinks she is getting a summer cold. She can't stop sneezing and her nose is dripping. She is hot and she is cold. Really, I think we need divine intervention here! UPDATE No news. But I want to thank my best friend in the world, Arnold P for rushing to all the groups to post about my sister. At first we thought we didn't want to worry you all but you know what it really helps knowing you care. Thank you so very much for your good wishes for your rosies and stars Please keep purring. Mom went out twice since I wrote in my diary. Armed with Greenies (kitty crack) and Sydney's fave toy, the laser. Shines nicely in the dark. But no Sydney. We are purring and praying somebody took her in. Can't think of her out all night all alone. She is a house kitty. Please Sydney come home. Mom is going to go for another walk.

A sweet little friend of mine is going to Bridge. Her name is TAM ... TAMMY SUE* She is only 2 years old. She was never very active at catster. Just a quiet shy girl who was sick most of the time. Her sister *LAURIE* was COTW recently Tammy is very sick and there is no more help. The last gift her sad mom can give her is to release her from her suffering. I will be starting a thread in the forum: WHEN IT'S TIME TO SAY GOODBYE It will be titled. SAYING GOODBYE TO TAMMY SUE I will also begin a candle lighting. Let's show some love and support to Tammy's mom. Bridge kits, could you be there to greet Tammy? Thanks, I love you all.

Thank you sweetie. I hope you know I will always be your friend. I love you. I haven't really told anyone as yet. I want to talk about how blessed I am. The right words just just won't come. I wish I was talented poet like my friend *TYLER* but I am not. I think better late at night. I am just a kitty in love. I will try again..later *sigh* Purr Power, Wally *STROLLER UPDATE* It looks like our stroller quest has hit a snag. Not only are they very expensive but they want a ridiculous amount for shipping. Hello? We are the country next door! We are in Canada not on the moon! So how come it costs 3 times as much to ship here as within the USA? Not happy about this. I was all ready to give it a try. My friend *HAZEL LUCY* wrote to me just the other day encouraging me to go for it. She never even used to like to sit in the window and now she loves to stroll.

She did tell them the kitty must be a boy! We know how difficult it was/is with Sydney. We just can't take the chance that she won't adapt. Sydney is still holding a 3 year grudge... I guess we will keep waiting for our boy tux whose name will be PJ! PURR POWER! WALLY UPDATE: If you look at my page you will some changes. That's because something wonderful has happened in my life.

A sweet orangie's fight might be over. Jules Verne He is scheduled for the Bridge on Wednesday. We are all purring for a miracle. I am so sad for his lovely girlfriend Queenie* Thanks to *Chester* July 17th is Jules Verne Day on catster. I am also worried about our dear friend *ASHLEY* His blood pressure needs to come down or else! Listen to relaxing music, OK? Extra loving from mom might help. Although I know he gets all the love possible. Ash has a great mom and she adores him. We love you too Ash. On a slightly happier note,I finally heard from my friend *FIESTA CAT* I was worried about him but it seems it was only that his mom/typist was busy and could not write. While FC is has all the earned woes of a 20 year old kitty, he is hanging in there. Love you FC!

Mine also knows what it's like to lose a kitty to asymptomatic cardiomyapathy. We lost my sister Nikki the same way. I am sorry Wally, I am so sad you could not have more time in this lovely world. I know it is beautiful at the Bridge. My angel sibs and all the other Bridge kits will be your friends now until one day you will see your family again. Sadly purring Wally]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/337383 Sun, 15 Jul 2007 17:56:15 PDT Wally~4/1/2003~12/1/2007 ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/417764/diary/The_wallingford_chronicles/337383 I had a nightmare last night. A Scottish wild cat was trying to hurt **SOPHIE** He was big and ... **SOPHIE** He was big and ferocious.He was chasing my lovely friend. I wanted to help but I seemed to be moving in place as if on my mom's treadmill. It was awful. Mom had to wake me up, she said I was whimpering. So it all started with Google. Mom and I like to look at all things CAT. That is how we found the fascinating wild cats of Scotland. They are beautiful and frankly they remind me of me. Maybe even more of my feral friend **TINA** But the resemblance is deceptive. They have more in common with tigers than with us domestic kits. These Scottish beauties are also infamous for their inability to be tamed. There is only 400 of them left and there are humans trying to save them from extinction. Have a look at these beautiful creatures here So what was my dream all about? I love Sophie, I want her to have a long healthy and life but could it be that I am falling in love? Hmmm Speaking of falling in love, there must be something in the air. My Tiara *Elsa*and *Maximum Katzenfergnugen aka Max* are engaged. What makes this especially sweet is that they are both 16 year old Abyssinian cuties! A match made in catster heaven. My best wishes to you two, I love you both very much.I think Elsa will keep Max on his toes. She is a little flirt but totally harmless, a lot like me. MOL Also engaged are my young friends, *Vincent*and *TIGRESS* Not only that but they have a wedding date set for August 5th. ConCATulations you two. I wish you all the happiness in the world. May you have a long and happy life together.

Spent almost the whole night on catster. First I was talking to sweet ** ... **SOPHIE**. She kept saying she was tired and really going to bed and I was saying the same and then we would just chat some more! OMC! She is so easy to talk to..I just want to hear all about her life and her family. I feel like I have known her forever.... Then my sister, Syd wanted access to the computer cause she had to give ***Picasso*** his countdown rosette. Well we were ready to call it a night when mom gets an email from catster HQ informing us that Sydney Rose is being featured Diary of the Day (July 13) so of course I had to see her pretty little face right there on catster's home page. WHOA! Who else did I see? My lovely friend, **Hannah** is COTD! I couldn't have been happier. She is a sweetie and of course she is Sophie's sister. I wrote her a quick note, she was also awake. Now we are not talking midnight here like for those of you lucky enough to live on the west coast. We are talking 3:00 am and I think Texas, where Hannah is 2:00 ( I guess somebody will correct me if I am wrong) Anyway, she p-mailed me right back and said she got the news from ME I don't know but that made extra happy. In fact by now I was quite giddy. So lucky for me I had a picture of the lovely Hannah saved (her pictures are secured) and off I went to blingee.com ~one of my favorite sites~to make her a special star in honor of her special day. In a short while she had put the picture on her page. Thank you Hannah, I am honored! By the time mom and I got to bed it was after 4 and the sky was turning pink. It was quite pretty............I think we didn't so much fall asleep as pass out! MOL It seemed like 5 minutes later, grandpa was shaking mom (and therefore me!) awake~ We didn't hear the alarm! Grandpa had a big grin on his face. He asked mom does Wally always sleep on top of your head? Mom was feeling a bit grouchy (she doesn't do mornings well)and said somewhat rudely, I think~ how would I know, if I am sleeping? And then she stopped short. I think the words got through the fog in her brain. She looked at me and she looked at grandpa, WALLY, my WALLINGFORD? was on top of my head? I think she was thinking of Alfie. She looked at me and asked, "Is that true, Wally?" I tried to look nonchalant...and walked away..I am not telling.......

I know my mom would never stop looking either if I ever went missing. Thank Cat I live on the 6th floor of an apartment building and I have no desire to go anywhere. I like it here!

So it was a lightbulb moment for this occasionally not so bright guy. YEA! She has a pawsome family! 28 siblings, even a Wally for a bro. So then I remembered her lovely tabby sister *SOPHIE*! I do seem to fall for tabbies. My first big crush was on the adorable*Mercedes*(Mercy) and oh how my heart melted at the sight of the lovely *TINA*'s eyes. I have accepted that these lovely ladies will be my friends and that is all (Although it is a lot!!!) So Sophie~ she is lovely, as I said. She loves sunflowers and birdies, just like me! And she has Enya's lovely music on her page! But most important of all she is so sweet and kind. Even the name SOPHIE is special to us. It is the name of my bro,*GIZMO*'s mom.(Shhh, I think I am not supposed to say that. Hi Auntie Sophie!!*Wally waves at the screen*) We decided we are going to get to know each other and see what happens. (Cross paws!) I am giving my pal *CHADWICK* a birthday party on Sunday August 4. Sure hope Sophie will come with me. I am a kitty blessed with many friends. Some of them happen to be female but we are great buddies. I am also a bit of a harmless flirt.

PETER JENNINGS Mom is keeping in touch with the rescue network. No sweet boy tuxedos available right now. She could go the Montreal SPCA but she literally has anxiety attacks in that place. S0 many kitties in cages,their plaintive meowing echoing through the large room. Furry paws dart out~me, me, I am a sweet kitty! Take me home please... Sadly, most of them will die. We are ashamed to say that they do not have a "no kill" policy. There is a horrendous tradition in this city of ours of abandoning hundreds of kitties on July 1st which is officially moving day here. Humans cannot take their pets to a new apartment so they simply abandon them. Last year the SPCA received 800 cats. It was front page news. *sigh* So mom being overly sensitive will not step in there. Instead she dreams of opening a shelter of her own where every kitty will be loved and taken care of...maybe someday... PURR POWER!

I was sticking closer to her side and she looks at me and she says, Wally, is somebody cutting the grass? Hello? Do I look like I would have an answer to this question? But it did sound like that.(Noise has a strange way of bouncing in a concrete building) Finally she tears herself away from the computer and goes to the window. EEEEEK! It was a humongous bumblebee ! BUZZING!!! like crazy and guess what? It was inside the window! ( I don't think this registered on mom right away. I mean we live on the 6th floor. Ever window tightly screened. How did this bee get in our house? Well poor bee would not live to tell the tale. Mom murdered it.~One rolled up newspaper and one well aimed swat. Mom felt bad. But this was an invasion of our home! She is terrified of creatures that sting. She once ended up in an ER having been stung by a wasp. It did occur to her a bit too late that the poor thing was probably more freaked out then she was.. I guess there is one more bee at the Bridge today. *Sigh* S0rry Mr Bee.

They said we get 5 free zealies just ... know we opened it? Hmmm??? And if we open more than once do we get 5 zealies each time? MOL Just how smart are these computers?! We also read in the newsletter the most amazing and heartbreaking story: Prayers For A Long Lost Feline Please post a link to this website: www.mugoddai.com. This poor person lost her beloved kitty three years ago and is still praying for his return. It's a very heartwarming website dedicated to the return of her kitty. Perhaps some Catster people in her area can help. What an amazing woman.

I cannot stand losing friends.Why do kitties have such a shor ... *ASH* . I got a note from him and he sounds to me like he is resigned that he is life is about over. OH NO~ Please, not yet! I don't want you to suffer Ash but could you try to hang in there? You have so many friends who love you! We are all purring like mad........ Please Lord, hear our prayer. Ash's mom needs her boy a little bit longer. My sister goes to be weighed tomorrow. She is a bag of bones! 3 months ago she was 61/2 lbs. ( Down from 7 lbs. The doc thought it was stress from the ORANGIE (Have to explain here. Alfie is the sweetest cat. He is playful as a kitten and just being in her face is enough to drive Syd up the wall~literally. One day she will break her skinny neck. Silly girl!) The vet recommended a new food and said to bring her back to be weighed. She has been eating better than ever but to us she looks skinnier so that can't be a good thing. She is not acting sick. So we shall see. Wishing you all a great week-end.

Our friends *Fi ... Fido* *Boogers* and last but not least *Hondo* sent us the cutest Valentine's gift. They know I love Hello Kitty and we got the most adorable t-shirt. Mom squealed when she saw it! Now she also says OMC! Well first thing she did was to try and I emphasize "try" to put on Alfie. Well he totally freaked. Mom first showed him the shirt and he did allow her to put it on him but once she let go of him he streaked under the bed! We all were so shocked. Little Alfie aka the stuffed toy? So good old greenies came to rescue cause little guy likes his eats as much as moi. Anyway he got a couple of extra ones.....for being such a good boy?? In the end mom did manage to get a couple of pictures of him with the help of our grandpaw who is holding him...He does have that deer caught in the headlight look, don't you think? So I was next. Me, anything goes for me, right! I am the true stuffed toy in this family. But I am so ashamed to say..hangs his head...I am too fat! Mom did get in on me but we had to take close ups. You should see the rest of me ....well maybe you shouldn't. Mom keeps asking/wondering how did this happen?? How out of over 1oo,00o kits we meet the nicest kits and their families. This is all so unexpected. When we joined catster we didn't really know much about it. Mom thought it would be a great place to create a page for our Bridge babies, cause we don't want them forgotten. But she never realized what a lovely community this is..We have made so many wonderful furiends! (More to come about that another day.) I feel so warm and fuzzy inside, HEY! It matches my outside. MOL I will write more later but now we are going to post some pics. Thank you my furiends, you are pawsome and we wuvs you. Oh yes, forgot to mention but Sydney is naked and proud of it...as she said in her diary. So we didn't even try the shirt on her. Too bad she would look so adorable.
