Really Bad Week

I don't really like bringing my personal life into this, but the reason I haven't paid tribute to my two friends who went to the Rainbow Bridge this week before now is that I had a really bad week at work with lots of overtime and I just haven't had the time to do it before now.


Mu Shue Pooh King Cat was helped to the Bridge on Tuesday because he just wasn't having any fun any more. Mama Laura is grateful for the extra two weeks she had with him when she took him the first time and he definitely wasn't ready to go. Mu Shue was a wonderfully sweet Mancat who really knew how to take care of his family. When the fire broke out and Mama Laura wasn't home, he herded Lilly Lu and Iris under the bed away from the fire and saved all three of their lives. He had to drag Iris by the scruff of her neck, but he did it. He was a true hero and a wonderful cat, but the time came when he just had to go.

Kayla said, "Mu Shue, it's time to come home --
To stay by my side and nevermore roam."
Mu Shue answered the call,
Though he'll be missed by all.
Together they watch over Mom Laura's home.


Fatty was a stray cat who lived in the basement of TT's apartment house. I won't call her feral, because she wasn't. She would come into the apartment to visit and was very friendly with TT and especially Shadow and the Mom, too. She never quite moved in, which turned out to be a good thing because she had FIV. Did she know she was sick and didn't want to infect the other cats? We will never know. When she became obviously sick, the Mom took her to the vet and found out the awful news. By this time, she could hardly stand and the Mom made the very hard decision to send her on to the Rainbow Bridge on Thursday. I know that I'll really miss her and I know that she is in a better place now, but it still really hurts that she is gone from the world we know. I am so glad that she knew love and kindness before she went.

Fatty just loved the great outside.
When the weather was bad, in the basement she'd hide.
When she got really sick,
She sought the Mom so quick.
Now she's at the Bridge, where it's all nice outside.

Fatty


Sadly, Miral has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.  Please stop by and offer her family some consolation.

Fatty is a stray kitty who has been hanging around TT's house for a while.  At first the Mom and Dad thought she was just visiting and had a home, but they found out that she didn't have one.  Now Fatty is slowly moving in, but for now she just visits and apartment and sleeps in a cat bed in the basement, where the washing and drying machines are.  Molly and TT don't care much for Fatty, but Shadow likes her a lot.  Fatty still spooks at loud noises and sudden movements, but she does let the Mom pick her up and carry her around a bit.  Shadow has even shared his catnip with her.  This is a big deal, because Shadow really loves his catnip.  Fatty still has her meals outside the apartment on the stairs.  She likes Temptations, but has them outside the apartment, as well.  Fatty is spending more and more time inside the apartment and has even napped on the Mom and Dad's bed.  Soon she may move in for good.

                                     Fatty still mostly lives in the basement,
                                     Though the Mom is trying to get her to relent
                                                    And live upstairs
                                                    With catnip airs.
                                      Fatty still likes to sleep in the basement.
