Anna Sue on Thankful Thursday

I've been on a constant diet for the last two decades.  

I've lost a total of 789 pounds.  

By all accounts, 

I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.

Hai Furriends and Beans..

Mom has put me on a diet because I am diabetic, and I am doing just fine so far! We discovered this before my brofur Napoleon had to run off to The Rainbow Bridge. Mom was pretty busy with worry. She is an expert at worry and had two of us to keep her worrier busy. I get an injection of insulin and go to the VET to get tested on my ear. Can you see where they steal my bloods?? It does not hurt, but Mom said it distracts from my beauty. I say it gives me character. 

We want to thank everyone for their kind words about Napoleon. We sure do miss him around here. He was here a long, long time. He was 12 years old when I came here in 2004. He was a great cat and is now at The Bridge with his sisfur, Georgia. This is one of Moms favorite photos of them, because she was so tiny and he was so big.. but she did not let that stop her from telling him what for!

We know they are happy and running free and healthy.

Thank you again for all your sweet thoughts for our boy.

We are Thankful for the Cat Blogosphere!!

Hai Furriends,

Napoleon here, remembering my sisfur Georgia.

She had a way of putting me in my place,

but I loved her anyway and still miss her.

She left for The Rainbow Bridge in April, 19, 2007.

It is nice to remember and honor her.

Happy Friday!

~ Napoleon

On the road again, goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again..

In the early '80's my bean sister tried out to be a clown with
Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey Circus.
At that time, hundreds of people went to the auditions all over the country, but very few were chosen to go to their 'Clown College' in Florida. She was one of the lucky ones (at that time) to attend and one of the few chosen to go on the ROAD with them. She was on the Red Unit and lived full time on the train. Gunther called her 'Clownie' and was always so nice to her.
When in Atlanta, all the clowns would come to our house and spend the night. We had a big breakfast the next morning and sent them on their way. They were all a lot of fun and of course had outstanding personalities. Below is a picture of her with our Rainbow Angels, Mr. Nicholas and Georgia. I am also there in the middle!! She enjoyed her years with them, but Momma was glad to have her stay home and begin a somewhat normal life.
The tabby is my brofur Mr. Nicholas, and on the other side of me is
my sisfur, Georgia. They are Rainbow Angels and we miss them so.

Hugs In Honor of Bonnie

Hugs are the universal medicine.

We were so sorry to learn that Bonnie had crossed the bridge.
We think our Rainbow Angel, Georgia was waiting to
give Bonnie a hug, just like she used to give her brofur, Napoleon...
... (if she will let her!) ...
Soar high pretty Bonnie. You will always be loved and remembered in our hearts.

We join many others at The Cats Blogosphere in a Hug Weekend Tribute for Bonnie.

Remembering Georgia

Just this side of Heaven is a place......

Hi Napoleon here.
A year ago today my little sisfur Georgia had to leave for
The Rainbow Bridge

She was such a tiny little kitten, and I was her protector.
I loved her very much.

Sometimes she didn't exactly love me back.
I loved her anyway.

I know she is waiting at The Bridge,
playing in the meadows chasing butterflies.
I love you Georgia and miss you so.....

Love, your brofur..
Napoleon
and Momma and the rest of The Bunch

Photo Hunters - Metal

~ A home without cats is like a garden without flowers ~

The theme for today at Photo Hunters is
METAL

This is our Rainbow Angel Sisfur, Georgia.
She had to go to The Bridge on April 30, last year.

She was a funny, sweet little cat
She was Napoleon's litter mate.

Mom's boy-bean brought them home with him one day about sixteen years ago.

He said he'd find them a home.
Mom is glad he didn't!

Georgia liked her METAL pan.

Safe Journey Sweet Girl....

Rest In Peace My Beautiful Georgia

You will always live in my heart
I love you

Still with me ...

Such an amazing outpouring of love for this precious cat that it has been my privilege to live with for the past 13 years.

The doctors said it is cancer.
I brought her home for the weekend, because she is still has happy moments.
I will take her in next week, and it will be one of the hardest things I've ever done, because she is still a happy cat. She walks with that tail high and her eyes are bright and inquisitive and so very loving.

Doctors said it would be fine to bring her home, and have pain meds.
She's eating (with and without my help), drinking, and using the litter box, although she 'did' get her nickname, Pissy Prissy Princess, by sometimes not using the litter box.

I want a few more years with her, but will have to settle for a couple of days, because I want her to leave before this terrible thing causes her to lose her bright and beautiful, trusting eyes. Yes, she trusts me, and I cannot let her down.

Thank you all so very much for your wonderful love and support for Georgia and me.
Do keep us in your prayers. I will need them all.
I so love this little cat.

In writing to another blogger, I gave my website to them.
Much to my surprise, when reading over it, I saw that Georgia and Napoleon are 15 not 13.
My sweet Georgia is older than I though she was.
This does not make it any easier at all, but did want to correct myself.

Thank you all again for the emails and comments about her. She has eaten twice today, so far, and is sleeping. I can see the tumor now...**tears**

What a great supportive group of people you are!

Georgia sometimes feels it's necessary to tell
her brofur, Napoleon to 'Back off!'
He, being one of the most gentle cats I've ever known, complies!
