Farewell from Julie

Julie posting from the rainbow Bridge

Julie: Hi friends. I am sorry to say that the 

breast cancer I had some time ago has reared its

ugly head again. I was enjoying life with Mum

and Auntie L and Uncle J. We had moved in with them .

They have two cats...Summer and BC(black cat)

I was also losing weight. In spite of this, I was

doing Ok. 

Lately, however, I started to not feel so well.

Mum took me to the Vet and we got the bad news.

That evil C was back!

Here is my last picture and last post.

As you can see, I am at the Vet place

getting ready for my final journey.

I am happy that Mum and I moved in with

Auntie L and Uncle J and my fur cousins

BC and Summer.

At least she will not be alone when I go to

the Bridge.

Julie:

 

Mums eyes are very leaky as she does not

want to say goodbye. I do not either, but I just do

not feel well.

Over the next few days Mum will post some pics of my

 fur cousins, Summer and BC.

 Maybe they will carry on the blog.

I have really enjoyed visiting with you, my friends.
I do not want to go, but I am not feeling the best.

Maybe on special times when the moon is right

I will pop in to say Hi!
I will miss you my friends!
I will miss you Mum!!!!!!!!!!!

Mum: Julie, I will always love you and miss you!

 Julie:  July,2009 - November 6, 2023

Some Sad News

Julie: Friends, I have some sad news.

My furcousin Mindy  from Team Tabby has crossed her

Rainbow Bridge

Mindy was a really sweet, gentle soul.

Though very shy, she loved her mum and dad.

She also loved sitting on top of  her cat house and

watching all the dog walkers going by.

The people enjoyed seeing the "cat in the window"

as well. 

 

Mindy was a sweet, shy kitty.

She enjoyed a happy life for almost 21 years!!

Mum and I send lots and lots of purrs to her Mum and Dad.

Georgia is Gone

Georgia: September 2003- August 2020

 My sweet,beautiful gentle girl is gone.

Orange for Crockett

Today we are celebrating the life of sweet  Crockett

This would have been his 5th Gotcha Day.

He is with treasured friends at the Rainbow Bridge,

however we will miss this sweet kitty.

We send lots and lots of purrs and head bumps

to his family as they miss him so much.

Thoughtful Friday

Before we start our post, we want to recognize the

passing of two special cats that have played a big part

in the Cat Blogosphere for many years.

Daisy

She entertained us with her wardrobe and her charming life

and the many things she explored and all her antics

on her blog"Daisy the Curly Cat". 

We also remember Maggy.

She lived in Florida with her sister Zoey and the 

Zoolatry human.

When a move north was necessary, Maggy stayed 

in  Florida with her new "mum"

While they were separated, the love was never lost.

Visits and news were often shared.

We loved seeing Maggy and Zoey and their

antics  on the Zoolatry blog

We will always remember these two very sweet cats.

For our post today we present our close ups!

Here is Georgia  highlighted by the evening sun.

JJ after he had a good long drink from the water bowl.

You can see he has a water mustache.

Julie in the kitchen window highlighted by the evening sun.

Saturday will be a bit rainy, but the sun returns for Sunday.

We also look forward to warmer temps.

Maybe Spring really has arrived!

Either way, you know we will be having FUN !!!

We Has a Sad !

Like many of our friends in the Cat Blogosphere, 

we are very saddened by the passing of our 

Devon friend Flynn.

One of the first cats we we met when we first started blogging.

We enjoyed the adventures of Flynn and his late  brother Eric.

While we have many,many happy memories, we miss these boys.

We send lots of purrs to his mum and dad as they now

have an empty home.

Thanks for the memories Flynn.

Purrs!!!!!!

Goodnight Sweet Prince,My Little Treasure

My sweet Treasure crossed his Rainbow Bridge tonight.

Bit by bit his body just started to shut down.

Improvement in one area was accompanied by a deterioration

in another. He would rally for a very short time,

then relapse.

There was no hope of any meaningful recovery.

After a long visit at the hospital, I made the painful

decision to let him go. 

I will miss you by my pillow and will miss the 

licks you gave me when I scratched your chin.

Thank you for being a part of my life sweet boy.

We will miss you.

Treasure
1997- 2016

Finally Friday Close Ups

Georgia: Well, another week is ending and we are glad.

It started very sadly with the passing of dear

Billy Sweetfeets Norton Gingersnap

We always enjoyed his dancing Tuesdays.

We know it is a sad home right now.

There are other sad homes.

Visit the Cat Blogosphere to pay your respects.

In  other news, mum was lazy, busy and did not take many

pictures of us.

Therefore, we are doing the Friday Close Ups

That is a win-win!

No camera in our faces and some (older)pics for you.

JJ

Julie

Treasure

We purr you all have a FUN weekend !

Goodnight Sweet Prince

A long time blogging friend has gone to the Bridge.

He crossed his bridge on Thursday,April 28, 2016.

Dear William was a handsome and thoughtful

House Panther and friend.

We send huge purrs to his purrson and his siblings.

We will really miss you William !

Goodbye Dear Monty

Like most of the Cat Blogosphere, we were saddened to hear

that Monty crossed his rainbow Bridge.

We gave many fond memories of him and of all the fun we had.

It is always sad to say goodbye to a fine kitty

 and we send lots of purrs to his family.

Teach the Bridge gang how to do the Q Monty !

Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day

Today we remember some family members that have

crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

We are sad that they are gone,but thankful

they were in our life.

Zee & Zoey have created a very special day to honor and 
remember those cherished pets we have lost but not forgotten"
 ~ Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day ~ 

Our blog founder Mickey.

He and Mom were best friends for almost 18 years.

He was a great friend and a kind and gentle cat.

We miss your easy manner and friendship.

Mickey loved his grass, and Mom liked picking

it for him. She fed it to him a blade at a time.

He had her trained well.

He loved looking out windows and enjoying wiffies.

He liked to participate in "Meow Like a Pirate Day"

But his biggest joy was his dear Miss Peach.

From their wedding, October 31,2009.

We miss our sweet Tiger.

She was a sweet girl and quite a talker too.

A spirited kitty with lots of Tortitude!

She enjoyed life and lived it to the fullest.

We miss you and love  Tiger.

She crossed her Bridge in her 18th year.

This is Moxie and he crossed his Bridge in his 3rd year

just months  before we started blogging.

He was a cute little imp and had a big hold on Mom.

Moxie was a littermate of Tillie and Georgia.

It was pretty hard to get over his passing as he was

quite a character!

The last in our remembrance is the hardest.

Our dear sister Tillie. She crossed her Bridge in her 10th year.

She had a big hold on Mom's heart and still does.

She was sweet,a Diva, demanding of Mom's 

attention and a silly girl at times.

She loved boxes no matter what the size!

Like all of us, she loved "Meow Like a Pirate Day" too! 

Here she is with JJ and Tiger.

Mom had a special bond with Tillie as she does with 

pretty much all black cats.Tillie wanted to be near

 Mom all the time too. In  many ways  she still is.

Mom thinks about her all the time and still misses her.

We miss all of our siblings.

We are glad we had the time with them that we did.

We will always remember them.

To all others remembering a special friend, we send you

love,hugs, purrs and we share tears as well.

"Part of Me..."

I thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.

I thought about you yesterday and the day before that too.

I think of you in silence. I often say your name.

But all I have are memories and your picture in a frame.

Your memory is my keepsake, with which I'll never part.

God has you in His keeping. I have you in my heart.

I shed tears for what might have been. A million times I've cried.

If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly. In death I love you still.

In my heart you hold a place, no one can ever fill.

It broke my heart to lose you, but you didn't go alone.

For part of me went with you, the day God took you home.

and I had fun taking Mom's seat  at the computer!! 

Mom loved to take face pics too.

I know they give her great memories.

I do miss you Mom.

Saying Goodbye to Tiger

Georgia: Once again, sadness has come to our home.

Our big sister Tiger has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.

Tiger was 17 years old and was showing her age. She slept more

and did not always want to eat. Mom took her to the Vet

Thursday evening and she stayed there. The Vet gave her

fluids and medicine. She also did blood tests that showed

Tiger was not doing well. Mom left her there to see if

she could rebound.She did for a bit, but it did not last.

Rather than have her alone at the Emergency Hospital, 

Mom brought Tiger home Saturday afternoon and looked after

her. She was restless and did not want to eat. Mom set her

up on her heating pad and she slept.Every time she woke,

Mom gave her a pat  and told her she was a good kitty

and that she loved her.

Around 3:30 AM, Tiger's breathing slowed and she passed

gently away.

Mickey and Tillie were there to welcome Tiger to the

Rainbow Bridge.
