Those Were the Days

Kitties, I loved my rugs, mats and blankies.  I got under them all the time; I napped under them...I would crawl under a partially lifted blankie and then, walk off down the hallway with it on my back.  It used to make my mom laugh every time.  I loved my cubes and tents too and one of my fave places was on our rocking chair.  I had a teddy there on one side and a dolly there on the other.  I would lay with my headie in the dolly's lap.

Here I am on my back as I usually was for naps, up under the hump in the mat that I made as I crawled in under it and turned over.  I fell fast asleep.  See my toesies?

Me and My Hubby...

Kitties, now Nikita, aka Nik and I are both OTRB but our love lasts forever.  Here we are.  Isn't he a typical mancat?  Asleep.  Heeeeee.

Fly Away Home

Furriends, dear furriends, today is the Angelversary of my Admiral's passing to the Rainbow Bridge.  My tears are falling just as much as I write this as they did when she left me.

Here is what I wrote that day.  One of the worst, hardest and most heartbreaking days of my life up to that day in time.

Please know I am putting my soliloquy here again in loving tribute to Lady Bianca, Admiral.    I miss you terribly dear girl, but the gift of Kathryn Isabella has mostly dried my tears, beautiful Tortie girl.  Mommy loves you.


From December 14, 2011
My little one flew away to the Rainbow Bridge today. We, her Doctor and I have worked very hard to enable her able to enjoy her life and all the love she has received and that she freely gave back, but she was tired and whispered it was time to go. She flew away and took my heart with her. I will always love her and I will always miss her. She was the most loving girl I could ever have been fortunate enough to have. We have just sailed that sea of grief and tears as far as we were able to go together. Thank you darling girl, for choosing me to take care of you and love you these fourteen years. 

To all of her friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart for caring about my girl in the last stages of her illness. You have truly been a comfort. Much love to you all.

My Anniversary

Five years ago today, Nik (@catrulers) and Admiral (whose given name is Bianca)   (@admiralhestorb) joined paws together for  marriage.  Admiral flew to the Rainbow Bridge not too long afterward, but Nik and Admiral's love is a lasting journey into tomorrow and tomorrow and beyond.  Their love lasts forever.  

Now Admiral's dear Nikita is on the Bridge with her. He flew away to join her December 26, 2015. But until then, she kept watch over him to keep him happy and safe.  They are together again, and they await their families by and by.  Rest in peaceful slumber,  precious fur babies. Mommy loves you so much.  Both of you. 

Look at ME, Kitties

Kitties, just a month before I went to the Rainbow Bridge, mommy got up early one morning and look who she saw in the darkened living room when she turned on the light!

She praised and praised me for being the consummate hunter I was!  I was proud and happy to show off my work.

GOTCHA!

Look what I got for you Mama!

My Flickr friend Anne Varney crafted this of Admiral for me of stained glass.  I have all my kitties done by her.
