HollieCatRocks First Memorial November 26, 2011

OMC hai, has been some time since I did post, but a dear friend of mine PepiSmartDog suggested I write a memorial post instead of having mama write it. Mama as you know has just been in tears all this week, with the recent loss of mai wee one Monkey to my anniversary today. So due to that nothing mama would write prolly make any sense to anyone MOL. I thought I will take Pepi's advice and write a little something.

Well my big day was a year ago today, November 26, 2010. I still remember the emails from my goodest bestest, Boomie he along with another pal, HB came to the vets to stay with me so I wasn’t alone. I remember goodest bestest went to every single vet appt with me and also with Monkey in the months following. Himz and himz family has been there every paw of the way. I also remember the texts from my dear sweet allnighter buddy weeeeeee who I seem to recall he promiced allnighter on candle hahahaa. I am still waiting to repeat October 25/26 2009. "OMC its tuesday, Go to bed, sleep for 5 min" weeeee...OMC where was I? Que? Donde? HB and himz Mama and Lucy what can I say but thank you for your friendship and always being there for the honks, the mols and the classic classic moments...OMC, oh yes, and my very special bff pawsome Danapixie who really helped mama that day, who has been there thru it all, and who will always be in my heart pawsome. I remember a promice I made to a dear friend and no matter what has happened or where we are – he was there, as I would be for him, so thank you for your friendship.... Thank you to another who would always provide the bourbon and good times and for being such a good friend. Xo. *purrs*My special ChatteMuse CM who makes the journey easier, ty for you sweet one. Dominque and sister Rosie what I do without you? There are so many to name right now and you know who you all is. There was such an outpouring of love and support from the anipal community, mama was overwhelmed with all the messages, the emails, the tweets, the candles and the twibbons. I remember Pepi and Sammy meeting me and taking me in Pepi pram and I remember the tribute that #nipclub had a few days later that my dear friend Tiger (TheNascarKitty) thru in my honor.

What have I been up to the last year OMC well I has become a hostess on a more permanent basis with #nipclub. I also dj from time to time. I am still a wedding planner and OMC there has been back to back weddings! But thank cat now there is a team of AWP Comprised 4 others (FreshOtis, danapixie, LilyLuWhoT & nephew TigerBoyTheCat who are earthbound and me) What else did I do oh yes that’s right I organized all the quizzes and prizes for this years Anipal Academy Awards WOT? OMC. I was so nervous, but it turned out okay, my friend Maggie taught me well! It was soooo much fun! I am an angel kitteh to some Spike_cat, Pandafur, ChrisGroove1, Cheriswan and anyone who needs an angel kitteh...I still have all my furrrrrrrrrriends I did before but now being OTRB I can go anywhere I want and eat whatever I want and still maintain the svelte 16 lbs I am! MOL/BOL.I is floofiestness as goodest bestest refers to me hee hee. I am also on a relay team with Freddie, Lucy, and Monkey so that prolly help keep me in shape MOL. My dad came up here to join me and he always has fresh roast chickens and makes a cave or them for new OTRB arrivals, luff you dad.

Then when I was just getting settled up here laughing and playing and then my wee one Monkey joined me. It devastated mama for one he was so young only 6.5 years old in perfect health otherwise but HCM took him way to early more about that in previous post. I used to do everything with Mama, I sleeps with herz every night, watch tv with her, watch her cook/clean and even watch her workout and I jump up when she was punching and kicking during her workout to bat her arm or legs MOL. Monkey and Mittens are fur sibs and were inseperable. Mama heart was broken she lost us both or so she thought...All I can say mama is we love you, you are our heart. We are with you in everything you do. All you have to do is close your eyes and you can feel us there, you can hear us, we can still talk to you, we still with you in your heart and your soul...You are our forever family. My friend Pepi once told me the day I crossed was one day in my whole life. My whole life was a gift and you gave me the most amazing life on earth, is why I waited the first two years of mai life and remained feral until I picked you. Love you so so much Xoxoxox, As I say, its not goodbye, I will see you later...you are and always will be my forever fambly....and you will always be my heart....

OMC I forgot these two songs here my sister found for me and they have really helped. They are beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time but all in all has really helped Mama. It is about what was and what will be and the beauty of where we are now and the memories and the spirit are always with you. So thank you sister xoxox

Mai Wee Monkey OTRB September 10, 2011

OMC mai wee heart is broken, no one ever does wish or want their wee one to come join them in heaven so early. Mai wee boy is only 6.5 years old. Back in May, wee one had first episode with blood clots, which led vet to believe it was his wee heart. After vet visits, trips to ER and visits with Cardiologists, it was determined mai wee boy had a Severe Form of Hypertropic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy. But Mai wee one not look sick, on every exam he was bright, alert, attentive model patient. Good news, if any, was that he was not in heart failure and the majority of patients were worse off, the majority don't make it past ER. He beat those odds, or so we thought. Before wee one could get approved for heart treatment he had to have a full blood panel done to make sure he didn't have any kidney, liver, diabetes or any other kind of diseases, they said if he did, he may not be able to go on the treatment plan they wanted him on. Given the severity of his disease because his blood tests came back clear and his numbers low, he was on plavix, baby aspirin and Fortekor, which was right up his kitteh alley, it came in ear rub. if only the other meds were that way, mol. Mai boy gained all his weight back and was such a good boy during his checkups, taking himz pills and was eating and was even playing (not too much mama had to limit the activity) Then in September 6, wee one frew up and not eating. In his condition, one must not be lax, so mama had him in the vet 2-3 times acutally having him all checked out. His heart was good. His heart rate was down and he was okai, except no eat, and frow up. He checked out fine in the exam and he had 3 that week. Still nothing stop vomit. so wee one had blood test, and my cat, this broke mama's and mai heart. Wee ones levels for his kidneys were off the charts, and he was anemic as well, he not show bladder on xray anymore. This all in a span of less than 24 hours. Vet stated that monkey had a blood clot, which multiplied, and it attached itself to his kidneys and sent him into end life Renal Failure. He was not in pain at this point. However that being said, vet said he had less than a week at this point to live. If they tried to treat him with a transplant (kidney) or transfusion he would have a heart attack. They couldn't give him subseq fluids because of his heart. If they just let him come home, the toxins and poisons would spread and slowly kill him in less than a week. Mama was and all of us relieve he not in pain, but he would be if we brought him home. Mama did the only thing she could do, and sent Monkey to be with me. Monkey crossed OTRB September 10, 2011 at approx 940am. Monkey was surrounded by his human mama, me and wee ones and went in love and peace, with no pain, he was still himz at this point. His brother Mittens (Big stripes), needs so much love right now as they have been together since birth, always been Monkey (Big Stripes) and himz brother. Baby is so so sad as they were very close. Ginger and Malley are so very sad too. I don't think mama will ever be the same after losing me and then monkey in such a short time frame. Everyone has been so wonderful human and anipal. You know who you all are. Flowers arrived Monday from the vet, that really showed the compassion and kindness of them, and they have gone above and beyond and are truly amazing. I has never ever hear of vet sending flowers, not in mai life. I want to tell our human mama, that we love her and that we know she gave us the best she could, the most love in the world, took such good care of us, and she put us ahead of her own wants and needs, by letting us go. xoxoxo we love you mama. I has a picture of the beautiful flowers with mai beautiful brave monkey butterboy and some of him and his brother. We fly free wee one....

Lucy in the sky..... March 7, 2010

OMC well i has been neglecting mai blog lately, shame on me for that, but a lot has been going on. First Lucy didnt come home all day on March 5. I prayed and purred and tried to speak to Lucy to go home, no matter what. Well late that night, HB and his mama did hear a faint meow, it was lucy! The reason Lucy came home was to be with her fambly when she cross OTRB. Was beautiful with her fambly all around her....Well my dear sweet friend Honeybell @Wildboutbirds ;his sisfur Lucy, came to join me at OTRB on March 7, 2010. I remember getting the text in middle of night, and remember saying I take care of Lucy, she in good paws. I remember when I first did meet lucy. OMFC, weeeeeeeeeeeee HB and I were in DM Land, allnighter time not sure weeeeeeeeeeee, and he said something about Lucy...MOL! I say who the h** is lucy? MOL. She was a tuxie like me but she was in her twenties OMFC! Lucy and I were much the same. HB and his fambly are so dear to me, that I has even allowed Lucy some concessions that most wouldnt get. She wakes me up daily at 2am to go birding. I remember the first few times she did that, I say do you mind, I sleeping. She say I want to go birding. I say now? I am sleeping. She said now. I say bat bat bat, she say hiss hiss hiss OMC so off we went. So Lucy, we will fly free, we has no pain, we are kittehs again, we will love, we will hiss, we will bat bat bat and play and go birding. HB, mama nina, big guy and all, will take good care of Lucy and SIRG, and Shoofly too xoxoxoxoxo love you all.

Anipals Our furrrriend PierreThePoodle needs our help

Hai Everyone.... My bff pawsome organized a chip in for our dear friend on twitter/facebook. Please consider helping he, no amount is too small. xo see you soon

http://helpchili.chipin.com/pierrethepoodle


This is @PierreThePoodle story below written by Mrs @danapixie

"In mid December Pierre had a cough that would not go away, so his momma took him to the vet. It looked like possible Tracheobronchitis and temaril-p was prescribed. It seemed to help a little, but the cough was still there. Another trip to the vet and an xray and other tests were done.

The xray showed a curvature in his windpipe and a suspicious looking mass in his lung pushing against it. Making it difficult for him to breathe. It is not known if the curvature has been there since birth, and just now causing trouble. Stronger meds and steroids were prescribed. After being on the meds for about a month, they seem to be helping. Pierre is breathing easier and coughing less. He is even playing and running like the old Pierre!

His momma is heartsick over Pierre, very worried about what might be the problem. They are overwhelmed by the love and support that all Pierre's anipals have shown, and appreciate it so much! Pierre needs to go back to the vet to have another xray and additional tests done, to check on the mass among other things. Pierre's momma has been trying to keep up with the vet bills, as we all know, can be costly. They have helped many anipals in the past, and know it is our chance to help them.

I have set up this chipin to help us help them. Please think about contributing to Pierre's vet bill if you can. No amount is too small"

Usually when i do become ill, i always just need lots of rest and TLC. So I spent the last week or so, snuggled up by the fire, sitting with our wee ones trying to nurse me back.

Well some days has passed and I still not eating or feeling like something not quite right. It was incredibly cold snap here in bancouber as well -12 feels like -17 wot is that weather? MOL. After discovering that i did become seriosuly ill, very fast, and very advanced, the vet did say the likelihood i would not survive surgery, if i did, the quality of mai life would be reduced to a very poor one, mai whole system has shut down. I did has a system of support around me starting with mai human mama and wee ones, who never left my side for a second, was there holding mai paws, watching me sleeps, making me as comfy and loved as i possibly could be. My cat, the peace and love i feel right now, is like nothing i ever has known. I so thankful for they, and what we do has, for our family fur and human is the most wonderful family i ever did know.

Tiger has been amazing friend to me, and has always been there for me as well. To everyone i cant name individually, the kindness and love you has shown is beyond words and know you are all in mai heart, I has read each and every single message, every single dm, and emails, and is so overwelming to me..I was so leaky of joy when i saw not one but three twibbons from SpoilMinPin, Cheriswan and SmokeyPoodle and the candles just melted mai heart...I dont know who started the candle, but thank you, this all provides lots of comfort to mai humans and me, knowing I am and they is so loved.

well in my remaining time here i wanted to go out on mai terms, but vet seem to has other ideas, he placed me on this exam table and let me know I would soon be at RB, i say pffft, and kicked him with my back hind leg and i ended up kicking him in the face, paws to mouth, so he said oh holliecat (i had injured him before in the past when he was trying to give me vaccines MOL...more about that some other time) oh yes what i saying, he then placed me in mai mamas arms, my eyes were wide and they glowed, i purred and kissed her, she kissed mai forehead, and nose and mai paws, as I went to OTRB we started the journey to OTRB on Friday November 26, 2010 approx 345pm pst for new adventures SamTheCatRocks and I had an amazing ride & my entrance to RB by PepiSmartDog and were welcomed with open paws by TheRustCat, PuzTheCat and many others.

hmmmm 5 questions from my co-founder Herbie_Cat

A few days ago, one of my bestest friends and co-founder of FSP asked me 5 questions on his blog. Normally I so lazy I go for so long without posting, so thanks you Herbie for that....

Anyways, here are the 5 questions. @Herbie_Cat

1. When it comes to food would you consider yourself more a fan of savory or sweet?
I would think I consider myself to be a fan of savory mmmm chicken cooked, baked, bbq or on a skewer. Savory like the menu for wedding, paws to mouth, that will leave Hoover drooling. mmmmm savory like fresh fish....

2. If a genie came to you and granted you 3 wishes, what would they be?
1st wish is that all animals would have forever homes, none be homeless and none be subject to cruetly or harm. 2nd wish is that Sammy and I and our wee ones would live in St. Barts where we had kittehmoon forever. 3rd wish is every animal have one extra meal per day!

3. If given the choice would you rather read a book or see a movie? Why?
I would rather read a book, nothing is better than curling up and having a good read.

4. If you won the lottery, what would be the first thing you and your peeps would buy? First things we would buy is animal sanctuary that could house all the animals that not has homes in the world.

5. What one place would you love to travel to more than any other? Why? I would loves to travel to is Hawaii. I has never been, and looks beautiful.
