Arrival Story:
We thought it was time to get Mercy a playmate and decided to go to the local Humane Society to look at kittens. They were all so adorable but my husband took a special liking to the tiny, two-pound, whining, and sickly looking kitten named "Henry" who was alone in his cage because his mama and siblings had already been adopted. This poor little baby had also been neutered the day before and had an URI but we wanted to adopt him anyway, so we brought him home, renamed him, and set him up in one of the guest bedrooms to recover. Milo's nose was so runny he was making bubbles when he breathed, but he was otherwise calm and affectionate. We gave him alot of TLC, brought him to see our longtime vet and after he became healthy, he met Mercy. Even at two pounds, he decided right away that this big girl was good for tackling and was usually hanging onto her neck. The two of them became very close.

Bio:
Milo was very loving and affectionate with the entire family, including the dogs. The night when our dog Butch passed away at home, Milo was right by his side. When we carried him, he insisted on turning his body so that he could look us square in the eye and lick our faces. His nurturing nature was very important as our kitty family grew, especially for shy little Sofie. Whenever I would open up a can of unsalted green beans for the dogs he would jump up on the kitchen counter because he liked to drink the juice. Milo was always a sweetheart and never once hissed at anything or anybody. He had surgery to remove a bladder stone in late 2006, and in mid-2007, he was diagnosed with Immune-mediated Polyarthritis. UPDATE: Milo passed away suddenly at home at the age of 4 on Thursday, November 1st, 2007, surrounded by the family that he loved and that loved him so much.

Today, November 4th, is my pal SAMMIE's first birthday at the bridge.

We know your mommy misses you so much, Sam, as all your friends do, and it'll be your mommy's first birthday on the 8th without you, too.

Love,
Milo


Icy the Angel

On Wednesday, October 28th, my pal ICEBOX joined me at the Rainbow Bridge.

Icy has always been such a good friend to me and gave me the nickname "Biker Dude Milo" after seeing a picture of me next to a motorcycle. When I went to the Bridge, her Momma made my Mom a beautiful little basket with a candle and a stuffed white kitty in it.

Icy's Momma loves all her babies, but Icy was her baby girl. She'll be updating her diary soon, but in the meantime, we were given permission to share the email that her Momma sent to a few friends the day she passed:

Subject: We lost Icy!

My poor, poor Icy baby.

I found Icy on her cushion tonight. She curls up in the late afternoon and sleeps for hours. I went to wake her up for her nightly ground beef feeding to get weight on her, but she isn't going to wake up. She left us several hours ago and I wasn't there to hold my baby girl.

Icy was born with a heart murmur and we knew it was coming, but it is always always too soon and sudden. I wanted a Rainbow Bridge page ready for her when this day came and I have hundreds of butterfly graphics as she loves watching the butterflies out the window in the Butterfly Garden. I just could not ever find the time.

My hubby takes this stuff way harder than I do and he is going to totally lose it, and today is hubby's birthday.

Milo

EDGAR just notified me that I'm one of his five semi-finalists for having the Best Ear Floof!

Thanks for the pink rosette, Edgar. What a tough job you have! And thank you to Hazel Lucy for the congratulatory watermelon.

Additional thanks to the anonymous friend(s) who left me a new set of wings, and to all my friends who stop by occasionally to visit with me.

Love,
Milo
