Stay well and healthy, my dear little love. Wally, thank you for the beautiful Angel Wings. To me, you are "The Prince of Angels", no greater friend, or more caring Angel exists. I also want to send a message to my best friend, Chef Rooster. Watch for my lizard today, Cheffy, he will be coming for a visit. And my dear little pal, soc is celebrating his 14th Birthday today. Many Birthday Purrs to you! Sir Sonny Bono's two beautiful sisfurs are having their 2nd Birthday today also. Happy Birthday Presley, and Paris! More sisters birthdays...my pal, Hooch's sister, Callista (Baby G) is ten today. You don't look a day over five, Baby G. And his sister, Princess, is 8 years old. Hope you both have fun days. I was remembering something from my kittenhood... I used to hide when mom came around the corner, then I would dash out and bite her ankles. (sorry about that now, mom) But then the game would ensue. Mom would say "Zack! I'm gonna GET YOU!", and we would chase each other, I would run, then she would stop and I would chase her. That was a lot of fun, aside from the bleeding ankles, I mean. hehehe. I want to thank all my friends who helped mom get through this day, a year ago. I never sent proper thank you's, time gets away. Enjoy every day, my friends. Friendship and Love, ahhh, is their anything better...except maybe tuna?

You see, long before I was born, long before computers, and email and emoticons were around, people used to write letters. Remember those? My mom has always been a cat person. When she would write a letter, or send a card, she would draw the little cat face next to her cats names. Yeah, she signed the cat's names too. Silly lady. When visitors came over, they always remembered me. I was a people cat, very social. I greeted everyone, and never met a human I didn't like. (possible exception, the white coat guy) Anyway, people would even ask on the phone, "How's Zack?" So when mom sent a letter, or thank you note, she always added my name, and the >^,,^< cat face. When we joined Catster, many years later, it seemed only right to put it there too. So now you know! Purrs to you, my friends.

My husband had taken a part time job on Saturday nights, as a scorekeeper at a local car race track. Secretly I thought it was just his clever way of getting "a boy's night out". He would be gone from early evening until nearly one am. Not being used to being alone at night, I used to get jittery. This one night I had been watching TV, when I heard a noise in the kitchen. Now I have to break away, and tell you a side part. In our coastal town, we have thousands of Palm trees. While interesting and statuesque, they are home to the infamous "palmetto bug", or the large Texas coachroach. (shudders just typing it) Now, it is not a matter of how clean you home is...if it rains, these big bugs come inside. I have been deathly afraid/repulsed by them since I was a child. If I see one, my husband says my shriek can be heard to the next street. (probably so) So it has always been my husbands responsibility to be the "bug slayer". Well, back to that night. Yes, you guessed it. The noise was a big bug. BIG. I was utterly terrified, and had no idea what to do! If David had been home, he would have rolled his eyes at me, lectured me again, for the hundredth time, on how silly I was being, and how much I was overreacting. But he wasn't home... So I took a chance. "Zacky!" I yelled. Bug! Bug! He came at a mad dash. I pointed to the kitchen. "You have to help mom, Zack", I said. He looked at me, and I could see he totally understood what he had to do. He ran into the kitchen, (I was standing a full room away, such a chicken) and I could hear him jump onto the counter, then leap at the wall. Zack knocked the bug to the floor, and put his front paw on him. I told him "GOOD BOY", and he blinked at me, and held his prize. Now it was still almost an hour before my husband was due home. What was I going to do now? So I had another talk with Zack. "Zacky...listen carefully to mommy". "You can't let that bug go until daddy comes home, understand?". He looked at me, and blinked again. Now, I tell you this in total honesty. That cat laid there on the kitchen floor, for an hour and fifteen minutes, with his paw on that bug. Normally he greets his daddy at the door, but this night, when David came home, he stayed in the kitchen, completeing his mission. That is the kind of cat that I was blessed to share my life with for 13 1/2 years. Zack...you were a once in a lifetime friend, and I will love you forever~ ~~~~note: This story was read and approved by Zack ~~~~]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/597323 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 15:47:30 PDT Zack Beloved Angel (1995-2009) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/597323 A month has passed, since I left this earth.

Mom wanted to ask any of you who ... Kiwi. Mom wanted to ask any of you who have been through this, a question. It seems I act like I am starving. I literally push her out of the way when I see a can of food in her hands. Then I will dive into the plate of food like I haven't eaten in a week. However, I eat some, then go lay back down. in a few minutes she will show it to me again, and I act like I've re-discovered it. This goes on three or four times, and finally after about half an hour, I have finished my plate. I am eating like this three to four times a day, but still I am skinny as a rail. Mom says I'm a "one-hander". That's a cat that is lightweight, and can be picked up with one hand, as opposed to needing to use both. (And in Xerox's case, a forklift!) Mom thinks he must be w-a-y over twenty pounds. I wish he could give me some of those pounds now. When she picks me up, she worries that she is going to break me, I feel so fragile, so she uses both hands and cradles me. Anyway...she was wondering if this ravenous eating was normal for my situation? Okay, I'm ready for a nap again. My continued humble thanks to all~ >^,,^< Zack]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/566296 Tue, 3 Mar 2009 08:54:27 PST Zack Beloved Angel (1995-2009) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/566296 That's "good morning" in Spanish, for my international friends. :) Why am I saying that?

Sweet kisses to my fiancee, Kiwi. I just got back from the vet's offic ... Kiwi. I just got back from the vet's office, and I am still a little groggy from the anesthesia, so bear with me. It looks like I will be needing those wings after all. The vet did an ultrasound, and x-ray. It appears that I have cancer. A tumor, about the size of a nickel is attached to my colon. The vet could see the blood supply to it, and he said that the tumor was eating all my nutrition, and that's why I have lost so much weight. I weighed 8.1 pounds, almost half a pound lighter than last visit. He said it most likely has already spread, and could not say how long I have. Mom says I will have pain medication if it looks like I am hurting. (So far, I'm not). She says I have to tell her when I have had enough...I have to let her know when I am ready to go, otherwise she is going to keep stuffing me with Fancy Feast, and keep me around as long as she can. Once more, thank you for all the gifts and rosettes and pmails. We can still purray for a remission, or a miracle... I think I want to go rest now. I love you all, from the bottom of my heart. >^,,^< Zack]]> http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/563601 Sun, 22 Feb 2009 20:52:48 PST Zack Beloved Angel (1995-2009) ~ writing at catster.com http://www.catster.com/cats/64970/diary/One_cat_tastrophy_after_another_by_zack/563601 Zack's momma here...

Mmmm, I can still taste the melted butter, and succulent lobster. Friends Angel, and her brother Merlin, brought me a wonderful hammock and blanket. I will use that at next year's beach bash! We have decided to do it again next year. And the elegant Elsa, brought enough fresh sardines for the whole crowd! What a wonderful day it was. The kittens played on the beach, and chased sand crabs. We all remembered when we were young and carefree, like that. Ashley Jay, my lovely friend, read this beautiful poem.

Happy birthday to you Happy birthday to you May all your dreams and wishes come true Happy birthday to you Another year has gone Since last we sang this song We all remember when And so we sing again...
