Memories Monday- One year ago today...

One year ago today our Puff-Kitty died.

I can't say it gets easier... 

You just get used to the fact that they are gone away...

Puffy was daddy's special girl and the fact that she died

on Fathers' Day was so sad... 

A beautiful girl full of mystery who came to us and made us

better people and cat lovers.  Remembering her today and always.

Halloween- In Loving Memory of Puff-Kitty Silhouette

Last Halloween we celebrated Puffy's 13th Birthday...

We had no idea we wouldn't celebrate a 14th...

She could have been much older than 13 or 14...

She was a stray who chose us as her PURRsons in October of 97.

Her age was an estimate and only she knew her real birthdate.

Since she was a black cat- Halloween was her default birthday!

This was Puffy's window... every morning we had to open it

no matter what the weather...and if we didn't... Joy got it!

Puffy was our Halloween Kitty... we'd have the neighborhood kids

say "Happy Birthday Puff-Kitty" rather than "Trick or Treat"

to collect candy from our house...

She'd sit there quite proudly and accept their good wishes!

She always mugged it up for her special holiday photos!

This is Puffy's special oranament her Auntie Gail bought her!

So on this first Halloween we spend without our beautiful black cat...

We remember how she worked her black magic on us and

changed us from people into PURRsons!

In our hearts and minds you will be forever young.

That stray kitty who wormed her way into our hearts.

Happy Birthday Puff-Kitty! 

Thankful for reminders of our Puff-Kitty!

I was in Marilla today where Puff-Kitty came to us in 10/97.

Look at the big black cat at the Marilla Country Store.

Every time we see a black cat we are reminded of Puff-Kitty...

We say... AWW Puff-Kitty!

We miss you so...especially at this time of year when you came

to us and told us we were your PURRsons.

I even bought myself a Puff-Kitty top.

I will always remember you my black silhouette...

whenever I see a black cat!

Monday Munchies...

Puff-Kitty drooling over a tender young bunny...

Remembering a time when she was a stray cat and this guy

would have made a most wonderful breakfast!

She's been an indoor only kitty for 9 years now.

You are safe little one ;)

Thankful for the Magic Light Fairy

Beautiful Puff-Kitty Silhoutte is our black beauty.

Puffy says: It gets pretty tiresome being a solid color.

I wish the magic light fairy would give me some colors

and PURRhaps some stripes...

The magic light fairy whips out her wand and...

ZAP... colors and stripes!

Oh look I haz stripes and pretty colors...

Thank you magic light fairy!

Tuesday- TOYS!

Puffy is quite the black beauty...

She likes all the legends about black cats being GOOD luck!

Happy Halloween Birthday #13 Puff-Kitty!

Puff-Kitty is our stray girl who came to us 12 years ago in October of 1997.

Our veterinarian said that she appeared to be about 1 year old.

Since we didn't have a birthday for her we decided Halloween
was a PURRfect day to celebrate for a black cat!

Puffy is showing how much she looks like the kitty on the throw!
