Hello to all of my kitty friends!
First off, allow me to apologize to my Catster friends. These last few months have been very difficult for my Mommy, and she is so very sorry for that. She honestly thought that her mourning period would not be as difficult as it was...only because she THOUGHT she was prepared for it. She saw my decline over my last 3 days, she understood that it was my time, and she made the decision to spend the weekend with me, stuck to my side like glue. She thought that she was ready for the outcome. She, apparently, was not. Although my passing was filled with love, and very peaceful, well, Mommy still mourns. On a daily basis!!!! I don't know what to do! I cannot remember a day since my passing that she has not cried.
As for my big sis JoJo, she has done nothing but HOWL! The day after I was gone, she did nothing but scream. It made Mommy's eyes leak, but still made her smile....knowing that she missed her little brother. I think it's funny, too....considering she hissed, hit, howled, kicked, bit, spat, etc., for the first 2 years that we were together. Approx. one year after we lived together, she let me bathe her!!!! Let me tell you, her ears were SPOTLESS! Nice and bright pink! I really was the neatest kitty. Oh, plus my belly ALWAYS smelled like Sweet-Tarts. Seriously. Read my earlier diary entries. YUM!
Ok. Guess that's it for now. Hope all of my kitty friends are doing well! FYI- if you have not had the chance, PLEASE stop by the Forums column, and take a look at the, 'Purr List'. The beautiful Miss Hazel Lucy is so caring, and does such a wonderful job. And, there are so many kitties that need help, purrs, nose-kisses, etc.!
Much love to you all!!

Hello dearest friends,
Just wanted to get one more Sheppy diary entry in, by me, before he takes over all diary entries from The Bridge. These last two weeks have been more than rough, they have been impossible. But.......
I am semi-content. My biggest wish was to be with my Shep, as he passed. And, I was. I was there to comfort him, to let him know how much I loved/LOVE, him. To let him know that I was there, holding him, kissing that soft little head, and rubbing that sweet little butterscotch belly. I don't know how he did it, but he ALWAYS smelled like Sweet-Tarts. He honestly did! I even made my parents smell him every time they came to visit. Their response was, "He smells like a blueberry Sweet-Tart!" He always smelled like candy. It really was the oddest thing.
As for his personality, he was 'one-of-a-kind'. He was goofy, he was happy, he was smart as hell, his intelligence sort of 'creeped' me out,
his devotion and love was unwavering, he was adoring, protective, (actually threw his body against my front door during a wind storm, growling and all puffed up, because he thought someone was trying to break in), he was a 'snuggle-kitty', that firmly believed in drooling, purring, rubbing, against EVERYONE. He was happy. He was so very special. That little face that I love so much is gone, and I think of him 24/7.
Thank you, to all of my friends, JoJo's friends, and Sheppy's friends. I will personalize all of my thank-you notes. But, at this moment, I would just like to send you love.
Love,
Precious Shep, JoJo, and Kate xoxoxoxoxo

Thank you all for your kindness, purrs, prayers, and friendship. My Sheppy has officially crossed over to the Rainbow Bridge. He was so tired, and his little body just couldn't handle anymore injections, medications, etc. It was a quick and peaceful crossing, and I am so thankful that I was there, holding on to him, as he took his last breath. Prior to going to the Cats Only Clinic, I took him outside, and sat with him in the sun. He hasn't been an outdoor kitty for 11 years, so I thought he might like to lie in the grass one last time. He did. He sniffed, found a spot of grass in the shade, and purred. We sat there for 30 minutes. He was content, and in no pain. By the time we arrived at Cats Only, he knew it was time. The vet was very sweet, kind, and caring, and I will be forever grateful for that. Sheppy will be cremated with his beloved 'Boogie Mat', catnip banana, catnip kitty, and a letter that I wrote to him today. The vet placed him on his mat, surrounded by his toys, and tucked the letter that I wrote in between his front legs.
I consider myself incredibly lucky, and blessed, to have had such a special and wonderful personality come into my life. He was, and always will be, so very loved. I also consider myself honored to have been loved by him. He was my sweet boy, and he loved me so. He was the definition of a 'mama's boy', through and through.
Godspeed, my sweet prince. Your Mommy will love you forever and ever.
Kate
