Mancat Monday ~ Remembering Caesar

one year ago today.....
Princess: we had our last day with our handsome love tiger Caesar, he was my litter-mate and sweet brother.
This post was made by our good friend MissPeachie last year.
we love it. Thank you MissPeach

QUIETLY I WENT INTO THAT GENTLE NIGHT...

I will miss your happy face my beloved friend Caesar...

You have left to prepare a place for us...

You were the bravest Mancat I ever met!
Living a quiet life with those you love...

With GREAT courage in the face of trials...

Each colorful day,

you brightened it even more!

A friend to all...

Full of adventure when your days were new...

with your beloved Princess as kittens you two!

Always a splendid mancat,

gazed out across your world.

Thank you for the pleasure
we had knowing you were in our lives...

Your big shadow remains never to be filled,
like the void in our heavy hearts...

Don’t say, We have come now to the end.
White shores are calling.
~~~~~
You and I will meet again.
And you’ll be here in my arms, just sleeping.
~~~
What can you see, on the horizon?
Why do the white gulls call?
~
Across the sea, a pale moon rises.
The ships have come, to carry you home.
Our sweet Caesar
April 15, 1991 ~ January 20, 2008

I think about you constantly,
whether it's with my mind
or my heart.
~Albany Bach Reid

To all of our friends,
Thank you for helping us get through this year.
We could not have made it without all of you
We love you very much

Friendship isn't a big thing
- it's a million little things.

Frootbat and Flowers Friday and good-bye Blizzie

Princess:
Today Blizzie goes back to kollig.
mom is driving her (3 hours each way) and will be home really late tonight
I hope all of you have a happy wonderful Friday and a happysnappy week~end
I am going to go have a nap now with Pierro.

well, hmmmmm. . . Pierro loves me very much,
he likes to snuggle really close
however, he is a busy little kittyboy and usually finds something else to do

and just leaves me to nap on my own

Last Thursday (the 8th) was gramma's birthday (mommie's mom)
These are the flowers that mom and Blizzie got for gramma.
Aren't they pretty?


purrrs and love always
Princess

Whitecat Wednesday

Princess:

Okay, I am in the kitchen...
now, what did I come in here for again....?

oh yes, second breakfast!

Happy Wednesday kitties!

Of winter's lifeless world each tree
Now seems a perfect part;
Yet each one holds summer's secret
Deep down within its heart.

Mancat Monday ~ I am a mancat

Pierro:
When you are a mancat, you should hide so your beans cannot find you.
Keep very still when they come into the room


aaaaah drattt
okay so I am still working on this

don't worry kitties. I will do some more remembering Caesar posties
I just had to tell you about this hiding thing I am working on

Frootbat Friday

Pierro:

Hey you kitties that are getting snow we do not have snow
pleez share

Princess:
Happy Friday Happy Week-end

Here is a fun game for your humans to waste some time:
mom has not been playing this silly game much but she got it from a friend.

Now and then it's good to pause
in our pursuit of happiness
and just be happy.

Whitecat Word-full Wednesday

Princess:
mom is surprised that is has almost been one year since Caesar is gone.
So many kitties have gone to the bridge lately. We know their pain and deeeep sorrow
Mom says you must take your time to grieve, never rush or let others decide that your grieving should be completed.
One thing that was very helpful for mom was that she printed out many of the tributes to Caesar from all of you on your blogs in Blogger land and looked at them regularly. She also printed out a few of her favorite photos of Caesar and took them with her in her purse, kind of like she was taking Caesar with her. What ever works for you to give you comfort you must do that. Never rush your grieving, never push yourself to get over it and move on.

Thank you for the praise you gave Pierro for his very first solo Mancat Monday. He was so proud of your comments he raced around the house for two hours!

All of you are loved very much by me.
purrrs and

May the sun shine, all day long,
everything go right, and nothing wrong.
May those you love bring love back to you,
and may all the wishes you wish come true!
~Irish Blessing

Mancat Monday Pierro

Pierro
Today I am doing Mancat Monday all by myself I think Caesar is watching over me and Prinnie and he approves Prinnie will tell you more about that on Wednesday mom just read a note from Dr Fox in the paper about some old girl cat (like Prinnie, heehee) that got a noo boy kitten in the house and how that old girl kitty got mad and started peeing and pooping out of her litter box I think that is funny hahaha but Prinnie is not mad with me eventhough I do annoy her sometimes once I was eating her foods (oops) and she was licking me I am glad Prinnie is not angry that I live here and she does not pee and poop out of the litter box
mom thinks I am very very gentle I do get reely wild and frisky
sometimes I pounce on Prinnie and try to wrestle with her I just want to play with her sooo much but she hisses and tells me to stoppit sometimes I do but most of the time mom has to distract me with some other activity and then give Prinnie lots of kisses and pets

I like boxes

I think it is very mancatly to sit in the box

I hope all of you kitties have been good and are enjoying your noo toys
my noo toys are all over the house

we will try to visit more now that the Christmas holiday is over mom has been really busy and Prinnie and I have been suffering. by the way, Prinnie is doing okay she has had some tummy troubles but we think Prinnie is doing okay... mom is keeping a close eye on her she eats well and gets around the house just fine mom thinks perhaps she got worried for nothing two weeks ago
we are just happy that Prinnie is doing well we are taking good care of the little old white Princess and I am being nice to her really I am trying

Happy Snappy Noo Year to all of you
Here are two great quotes to get your January off to a great start!!
~~Headbonkies from mancat Pierro

Success isn't a result of spontaneous combustion. You must set yourself on fire.
~Arnold H. Glasow
If you want to make your dreams come true,
the first thing you have to do is wake up.
~J.M. Power

FROOTBATS Friday and Thursday and Happy New Year!

Pierro:
Happy Frootbat New Year

Prinnie and I have new toys

Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
~Alfred, Lord Tennyson, 1850

Mancat Monday Peirro and Caesar

Pierro:
hey kitties how are things here we have Andrei visiting and today is a busy day

I like to sniff the froot.

Caesar likes to sn-
no, he likes to wear the badge of froot

To think too long
about doing a thing
often becomes its undoing.
~Eva Young

day after Christmas Friday

Princess:

mom and Blizzie are going back to gramma and grampa today
They are visiting some more relatives and sitting around eating cookies and such
daddy has to work so he will stay home and do what we tell him to.

Pierro:

and and and Guess what?
mom says she is bringing home our cousin boy Andrei and he will live with us for four days and play. I am excited. I think Andrei is gentle and I will love him I will try not to be a scardycat

Andrei is 11 and very nice. 

Mom's sister adopted Andrei when he was only one year old.

God found him for Joyce and she went to Russia and got him. 

We love him very very much.

We hope all of you have a very happy and peaceful next couple of days.
We will check in and visit around

♥ God puts us all
in each others lives
to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.

Princess:

and remember, you are always loved by me and Peirro too

we are so grateful that you are part of our lives

No road is long with good company. ~Turkish Proverb

Love is like the wild-rose briar;
Friendship is like the holly-tree.

The holly is dark when the rose briar blooms,
But which will bloom most constantly?

Love always~

“While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born,
and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.
She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn.”- Luke 2:6-7

Princess:
Thank you for your purrrs for my suffering at the vet torture place.
It was horrible but they gave me some medicines that made me happy
and I am doing okay today.

Caesar was always a good helper

I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet

The words repeat
Of peace on earth,
good-will to men!
~Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
