Weekend of Remembrance

Our friends ~ Three Tabby Cats in Vienna ~ Kashim, Othello and Salome ~ 

are hosting a Weekend of Remembrance. 

Some years ago the entire Cat Blogosphere came together

 and remembered our many friends, 

loved and lost and it is time for this once again…! 

We have lit our candle in memory of of our brothers.

Our dear Moxie

Our Mickey , the black cat ...

who we miss so,so much

He is back home with us,

and that is a comfort.

We send purrs to all who are remembering 

the ones that have gone before.

The  blue sheet was done up by our Vet.

It has two pictures of Mickey and a poem.

The poem is "Beyond the Rainbow"

Beyond The Rainbow

As much as I loved the life we had and all the times we played,
I was so very tired and knew my time on earth would fade.
I saw a wondrous image then of a place that's trouble-free
Where all of us can meet again to spend eternity.

I saw the most beautiful Rainbow, and on the other side
Were meadows rich and beautiful -- lush and green and wide!
And running through the meadows as far as the eye could see
Were animals of every sort as healthy as could be!
My own tired, failing body was fresh and healed and new
And I wanted to go run with them, but I had something left to do.

I needed to reach out to you, to tell you I'm alright
That this place is truly wonderful, then a bright Glow pierced the night.
'Twas the Glow of many Candles shining bright and strong and bold
And I knew then that it held your love in its brilliant shades of gold.

For although we may not be together in the way we used to be,
We are still connected by a cord no eye can see.
So whenever you need to find me, we're never far apart
If you look beyond the Rainbow and listen with your heart.

What Mom Saw

Hi, Georgia here. As you know,

Mom likes to take pictures.

When the oil rig Rowan Gorilla III was in port

late this fall, Mom took some pictures.

This rig is a jack up rig.

These struts have always been above water.

They look pretty clean.

This part of the strut was under water.

Look at the difference!!

Now you know why we kitties do not like

to get our paws wet!!!!

Goodnight Sweet Praline

Our dear sweet ,beautiful friend Praline

has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

 We have known her for quite a while,

and we will miss her very much.

We know our Mickey will be there to welcome her .

We are purring very hard for her Mom Paula.

We know that this is a very sad,emotional

and difficult time. We wish we could give her a hug!

We are so glad we had the privilege of getting 

to know such a wonderful kitty.

Our world is a little dimmer, but the heavens are 

a lot brighter.

Until we meet again,Sweet Praline.

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow frail and weak

and pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then you must do what must be done,

For this--the last battle--can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,

Don't let grief then stay your hand,

For on this day, more than the rest,

Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,

What is to come can hold no fears

You'd not want me to suffer, so.

When the time comes, please let me go.

Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

Only, stay with me til the end

And hold me firm and speak to me

Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree

it is a kindness you do to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,

From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don't grieve that it must be you

Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close--we two--these years,

Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Mancat Monday- One Month

It has been one month since Mickey

went to the Bridge.

I miss him so much. He was a friendly,calm

easy going boy. Took things  in stride.

He was my calm when I was upset,

my silly boy when I needed a laugh.

He was a great friend and companion.

After 17  years,it is hard to let go.

You want them to live forever.

He is in a happy place.

It is those left behind that have to adjust.

Until we meet again sweet boy...
Love Mom and all the kitties.

I will still help the other kitties blog.

There are too many cool cats out there and 

we are interested in seeing them.

The sadness will ease and we will get back into 

a pattern . Right now, I am Spring cleaning and painting.

Don't worry, we will need to visit to get away from those chores.

 Have a good Monday and a good week.

It's Friday and the sun is shining!!!!!!!!!!

The weekend is here and we are happy.

Mom will be home,but she is doing something 

called Spring cleaning. We're not sure

what this means, but we hope we get some time to visit!

Mom has been pretty slack about helping us this week!

She also says that it will be sunny and warmer!!

That means a lot of snoozing in the sunshine!

We hope you have a sunny and fun weekend too.
