I don't know if all of you know about the bridge list you can add your pets name on for the monday night candle light ceremony. It's wonderful, I have 4 of my cats names on that list since 2000. The person who adds the names is very punctual, and it is nice to know that they do a ceremony for all our babies every monday!

Well it is May and the countdown begins. His name will be Frankie(named after Franki Valli) I guess I am starting to collect old rock stars cause my 1 1/2 year old Abyssinian is named Dion, named after Dion Dimucci, the guy who sang "Run around Sue", and "Why must I be a teenager in love".

Frankie is a baby Ruddy Abyssinian approx 16 weeks old. I have my 3 older stray cats that I rescued thru the years one of them is 16 yrs old. I really enjoy the abyssinian breed so I decided to add another one to the household. Dion will now have a baby brother to do mass destruction with.

Here is his picture... He needs his little eyes cleaned, but never fear I will coddle him when he gets home!!!

Last year about this time my Abyssinian cat named Tommy went to the vet for a bad tooth and never recovered from the anesthetic he died march 21st 2004.

Here is Tommy's story:

Tommy was born somewhere in Oregon Dec 31,1998. The lady who bred abyssinians had died, and Tommy was going to be put to sleep if somebody didn't adopt him and his sister. A lady in Denver Colorado had adopted them and they were flown to colorado. Tommy's sister died in flight.

Tommy's new home was not a good one, there were over 100 cats where he lived. My ex husband was doing remodling for a woman who bred ocicats, and she rescued Tommy from the home with 100 cats and brought him into hers. I saw Tommy one day and fell in love with this little lost soul.

That is how he came to live with me. He was a very heartbroken little guy when I first brought him home. He hid in the towel cabinet for months only to come out to eat and go to the litter box. I worked with him each day for 6 months until his little personality started to shine thru. Tommy eventually turned into a sweet loving cat with lots of kitty kisses to give.

My exhusband turned into one of the biggests regrets I have ever made in my life. He became very abusive and decided he was going to move his girlfriend into my home after I had to leave for fear of my life. I took all 6 of my cats with me and very few belongings to a very good friends house. The cats and I stayed in a bedroom for 8 months. It was a tight living situation and very stressful for 8 months until we moved to Nebraska.

After we all got settled into our new life in Nebraska. Tommy and the other cats were so happy. They had plenty of room to romp and there was plenty of cats things to do in this big house.

Tommy always had bad teeth because of his breed. Abby cats seem to have alot of dental problems. I took him to the vet last year in march for what I thought was a bad tooth. The vet gave him ketamine for anesthetic and tommy never recovered. He died 3 days later. He was only 5 years old.

I now have another abby cat named Dion. He is another little sweetheart. I just noticed today that he has a tooth bothering him, and he has to go to the vet this afternoon for the same problem Tommy had. Yes, I am very scared!!!

I also wonder if the stress that my babies had to go thru during the 8 months we had to stay close confinement didn't contribute to Bubbas cancer. Bubba was my best friend that just died in December of cancer. He was 14 1/2 years old.

Thanks for listening to me.....

I posted this in "yea her name was nothing" but this is for all of you!!!!!! I hope you enjoy this.. It helped me alot!!!

I know what you're thinking. You think I'm dead. Because you cannot see me with your human eye, cannot feel me with your hands or hold me in your arms you think I am gone forever. You recall how I looked when I left this place and you cannot remotely imagine that I could possibly be alive in another place. You are racked and torn by the pain of our separation and it blinds you to that which is right in front of you ... me.

How many times since I left your immediate sight have you been told that I'm dead and you should "get over it?" How many times have you cried yourself to sleep because you feel like an outcast, believing you're supposed to get over me because that's what people say is normal but somehow you can't and no one seems to understand?

How many times have you put yourself through such excruciating pain because you aren't willing to consider that I am not, by any means, dead?

I want you to do me a favor and go back in time with me. Remember the glorious day you brought me home - was I not the most intriguing creature you'd ever met? Did I not make you laugh and giggle? Did I not look at you with such adoration that you wanted nothing more than to spend the rest of your life with me? I wanted this too.

Remember the days when I was in my prime and we did many things together. You were so proud of me! I was a good friend and I took care of you when you cried, were angry or felt down and unhappy. When you didn't have a lot of time for me because of your obligations, I waited patiently for you. I was always there when you needed me. Did I not look at you with such acceptance and patience that at times you felt perhaps a bit unworthy? You were never unworthy in my eyes.

Remember when age crept up on me, my bones became stiff and my movements slower. Still I met you at the door when you came home and followed you around the house. We'd been together for so long, I was your very best friend regardless of what you were doing, saying, thinking. Did I not look at you with such kindness and understanding that you felt overwhelmed? I couldn't get enough of you.

Remember the last time we saw each other with earthly eyes. You tried to be brave but I knew you were crying ... I know you so well. Better than anyone else in the whole world. Did I not look at you with such pure trust and love that you yearned only to hold me close and keep me with you always? Did you not promise that you would love me forever? I believed you.

If this is so then why have you let me go by thinking I no longer exist?

Remember the depth in my eyes all those times I looked at you with adoration, acceptance, patience, trust and love. Who created this depth and love? Would the Creator diminish the song of our laughter which was created in the name of love? I am no longer an earthly figure, this is true. My body was only part of who I really am. My body would have been but a mere shell on earth if it were not filled to overflowing with my soul, my spirit, my loving light. When we met you thought I was cute, sweet, pretty and adorable. But what kind of relationship would we have had if this is all that I'd been? How could you have loved me if I'd had no spiritual substance?

We are all made up of energy which resides far deep down inside of us, it is our core, our soul, spirit and loving light. It is the energy that is all of life ... it has no beginning, it has no end. It simply is and always will be and without it there is no life. You can't see it with the naked eye nor can you hold it in your hand, it is simply a certain knowing that this energy does exist. It's a knowing just as you know that our love existed on earth - you couldn't see our love in a solid sense, you couldn't gather it all up and confine it to one place. But you *knew* it existed. There was no doubt in your mind.

They demand you get over me, insisting that I'm dead and you'll never see me again because animals don't go to Heaven. Oh really? I'm here to tell you different. You were worthy of my love and undying devotion on earth as I was of yours. Do you really believe this love would be snatched from us *forever* by a loving Creator simply because I wasn't human? Was I not a living, breathing creation with personality? How could I have been so if I didn't possess the energy of soul, spirit and loving light? And if this energy is and always will be, then how can it be that I am dead? If my core is not of the energy that is all of life then I was never alive to begin with. But you know better.

You cry because you miss me, this I understand. I miss you too - I miss the belly rubs, hugs and kisses that we shared. But life does go on beyond these wonderful, fulfilling physical connections. I came to this place to live a whole new life, not because I didn't love you anymore or because I wanted something better. I came here because it was time for me to go to the next phase of my existance, something all living creatures must do eventually. It is the normal progression of life. I was not taken away from you because you cannot take away that which was never owned. My presence in your life was and is a gift to be cherished and honored just as I cherish and honor you.

Life is not simply about being born into a body, living a certain number of years and then dying. Energy cannot die. We are blessed with time in a body so that we can learn, share and grow. It prepares us for the next phase of our eternal life. The body holds within it the true life force of our existence...our soul, spirit and loving light. Without these our bodies would be empty, blank, void of feeling and expression. Without our energy we would indeed be dead and could never have experienced our love for each other.

You say that all you have left are memories. Not so. You see, when I took leave of my earthly body I left a little something behind for you. You can't touch it, hold it or examine it for what I left behind is far too uninhibited for confinement. I left behind a piece of my soul. I placed it right next to your own which is quite fitting as we were always side by side in our earthly life together. I love you too much to have left you with nothing but memories which tend to fade and grow cloudy as the years go by. I love you too much to have vanished without a trace. How selfish it would be of me to remove love and light from your life.

I understand your tears, each one you shed is testament to your love for me and I am honored and humbled. But don't forget the good things we shared - remember and smile. This is an honor for me as well. And when you need me I will be here. Close your eyes, relax, take slow, deep breaths and picture me in your mind. Shut off the world and your notions of what death is and give me a chance. Look for the subtle signs I send you. Don't stop being proud of me, I am a friend to be proud of, I am still your friend and soul mate. Don't memorialize the death of my body but instead honor and celebrate my never-ending life for it is eternal and forever as is my love for you.

Until we meet again...

I lost my best friend Yesterday. Bubba was my cat since the day he was born on Friday, July 13, 1990. Friday the 13th is supposed to be a "bad luck day", but for me it was a very magical day. Bubba and I were Best friends. He was always there for me when things were hard and kept me going. I lived for that cat. He slept on my side of the bed for over 14 years. Last month Bubba started to get under the weather. We went to the Dr. and gave him antibiotics and he was not getting any better. He started to get worse and worse till he couldn't hardly walk anymore. I made another appointment with the vet tuesday night for him to see Bubba the following day. I knew this was going to be our last night together and that my baby was dying. The day I dreaded the most came and I had to say say good bye. My last act of love was to free him from his pain.... I love him very much and have an empty spot in my heart.
