Today is White Cat Wednesday

Princess:
I am so glad I am all white.
I love being all white! -- and PINK

If you click to biggify this picture of me... you can see me in... almost life size cutieness!!!


I have a lot of awardies that were given to me. Caesar would have been so happy and proud to have them too. When we got awardies, he used to run up and down the stairs and say mao mao mao mao mao mao mao mao mao ...just like Caesar's muzzletwin: MaoMao.
I will display these awardies and then you need to tell me if you also awarded one of these to me. I think I have it all straight, but mommie has not been helpful

^This awardie I received from Stormiekins
Stormie is a very brave and sweet friend. I feel so blessed to have her as a model of winning attitude.
I will always treasure this awardie!


^Arthur gave everyone this award! I am a deep sleeper so I love this.
What a sweet picture of Arthur in all of his glorious whiteness!


^I am so honored to receive this awardie from sooo many friends: Diamond, Chen and Ollie and karl and Ruis!
Thank you for thinking of me - and Caesar, I believe, completely deserves this awardie as he was such a devoted and very caring mancat to mommie...


^I got this very lovely You Make My Day award!
Ummmm.... I can not remember who gave this to me... I am very *:embarrassed:* about this.
I am just so thrilled to know that I can make somecat's day.

I got this Toadally Awesome awardie from Mickey!
This one makes me smile big. I am proud to have it from Mickey.
He is a super nice kittyboy


and Lastly, this one from Stormie
I feel really honored to be thought of as "Excellent"


Thank you for these awardies. I am terribly sorry it took me a month and a half to get them displayed and acknowledged. I completely appreciate your thoughtfulness and kindness.

Thank you for your support and prayers! I can hardly believe it has been almost two months since Caesar left us! (eight more days will be two months)
Next month on the 15th of April I will turn 17 years old -- all by myself.
I just do not have it in me to have a big party. I do not think it will be a happy day here as well... just some cake and sadness and lots of pets and kisses from mommie and daddie
This is me, dreaming of touching my brother

Thank you so much for being my friends
I love all of you so much!

Within you I lose myself...
Without you I find myself

Wanting to be lost again.

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar

Princess:
Another Monday to share with you about Caesar, my wonderful littermate.
This is a cute picture of Caesar being such a great helper mancat.
He LOVED helping mommie.
He loved to follow mommie alll over the house and assist when necessary.
They were a team!
Here he holds the pot holders for mommie

He was always helping mommie around the house.

Mommie still cries.
She is doing better, however she still gets very very sad.
It is such a comfort though, for her to know that your beans understand this suffering.

Caesar had a wonderful life, mommie finds so many amusing and adorable pictures of us from the years past.
She gets great comfort looking at those pictures.. and when daddie can scan them, we will share them.

two things:
>mommie carries around pictures of Caesar, in a plastic bag. She can take it out of her purse and look at Caesar, and kiss him. She can take his pictures into the rink and carry them in her pocket. This helps her.
>Another thing.. tell your beans to take millions of pictures of you.

As long as I can
I will look at this world for both of us.
As long as I can
I will laugh with the birds,
I will sing with the flowers,
I will pray to the stars,
for both of us.

We miss you Caesar
As soon as forever is through,
I'll be over you.

White RexCats Wednesday

Princess:
Look!!
Miral and I won this awardie for being the prettiest girls
at the Red Carpet Buzz!
Miral and I went shopping together for our dresses. She helped me pick out mine because I was feeling sad, so she helped me.
I am so proud to have this awardie!!
I love my dress =) aren't we cute?!

Today I am going to sleep in my tentie.

I hope every cat has a very Wondermous Wednesday!
Thank you sweet friends for loving us.

And remember,
no matter where you go,
there you are.

Mancat Monday

Princess:
Mommie found this pin in the china cabinet.

She painted this pin a long time ago... perhaps, maybe ten years ago.
It is Caesar being an outside kitty (he has never been outside really)
you can click on it to make it bigger and see his pawpads
and the curl in his tail.
Caesar always had a happy mancat curl in his tail
Mom is happy she made this pin

Then here is Caesar in one of his classic mancat poses.

He really liked to lay in the sun.
He was so handsome
and soft
and wonderful

6 weeks now.
We miss him greatly

They say that time heals all wounds
but all it's done so far
is give me more time to think about
how much I miss you.

Forgetful frootbat Friday

Princess:

here are my two new blankies that mommie got me!
I think I like being spoiled now, more than ever!

this is my all pink one
for down stairs in the people chair

this is my polka dot one up in my own room:


Yes... I have those awardies. I mean it, I will put those up.... soon! I keep forgetttting
. . . . . nom nom nom

Also, I have not had a chance to visit all of your bloggies.
I try to read a few every day, and visit all of you. Mommie says I am so neat and tidy.
The house is noticeably much neater now than when Caesar was here with us.
Caesar was very messy, everywhere and left mancatmesses like this:

So, I am not sure what her excuse is. ...hmmm

I miss him and I love you ~

To the lamp of love:
may it burn brightest
in the darkest hours
and never flicker in the winds of trial.

Where you used to be,
there is a hole in the world,
which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime,
and falling in at night.
. . . I miss you.

Princess:
Hi everycat

You can click on this picture to see my Kohls shopping card

I was hoping to go shopping at Kohls with mommie today, but mommie says there is nothing there I would want... well, I need some more soft pink blankies!

It is really cold outside today... and windy.
So I will let mommie go to the rink and skate with her friendies
I will find things to do.

I hope you have a very nice day.
You are loved by me.

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar

Princess:
Caesar and I are littermates.

From the very beginning ~~
He was the best brother, such a sweet mancat.
He let me rest my head on him.
I miss doing that.
This is a picture (1991) of when we were 9 weeks old!
click on the pictures to make them bigger!!
look at Caesar's little legs *heeheehaha* *so cute :o)

and sometimes (2007) he liked to rest his head on me.
I miss that too. a lot.




I have received so many wonderful and beautiful awardies over the past few weeks.
I am soo SO honored and happy to have them, wowie thank you!
I have not forgotten them... just my fuzzy brains are not focusing so much.
I am having a ... a little... um, bit of trouble re-umm ...remembering which sweet kitties gave me them *extreme blushing*
I am quite embarrassed about that *blush*
It is getting better and I will put my awardies up soon.
I am so sorry :o(

Thank you everyone for your care and friendship,

the cards and emails.

Your support and kind words mean so much to us.
You give us strength!
Thank you

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

White Cat Wordful Wednesday

Princess:
Today is the day. One whole month with out Caesar.
We just can not believe it has been a month.

I do not think we could have gotten this far with out all of you, our kittie friends.
Thank you for loving us.
Thank you so much for being our friends.

We have Caesar's ashes in a box... and the box stays in our room.
See it next to me here?

Caesar's box is in the sunshine during the day and in the moonlight at night.
Here is Caesar's box moved to corner of the windows and I am in my big bloo and pink bed.

>>you can click on any of these pictures to biggify<<

I hope that today is your very best day ever!

Loss is nothing else but change,
and change is Nature's delight.

Mancat Monday ~Caesar

Princess:
This Wednesday it will be one month that Caesar is gone!
It still seems like only yesterday... we miss him soo much.
Mommie still cries a lot.
Blogging and commenting is still very difficult.

Everything reminds us of our wonderful Caesar.

When it is sunny out, Caesar liked to nap on the eating table in the kitchen.
The eating table always had a nice patch of warm sun from the big window.
He was a gentle and lovable mancat.
>click on this to biggify<

As always, thank you so very much for your love, friendship, purrrs, generosity and care.
Mommie feels very weak, she is still very heart broken.
She still becomes all of a sudden lost in thought about Caesar and everything else just stops.
You kitties have been a great support to us.

To live in hearts we leave behind
Is not to die.

Whitecat Wednesday

Princess:
Here are my curliepants. I like them.
easy wash and dry, a little brushing is all they need.
you can click and make the picture bigger to see my curlieness.


I cannot change the name of this bloggie. Yes, I know Caesar is not here but he is in spirit.
He has to be.... Yes, I keep thinking he will come out from behind the chair and meow happily.
And I will say "hey you, where have you been!?"

Mommie thinks that she will never stop being sad about losing Caesar.

I might not be blogging much. I will read your bloggies though.

I promise.

Blogging and commenting are really hard now.
I can continue to try to do Monday and Wednesday posts.
I think mommie and I just need a break.

Thank you for being our friends.
We really do love your friendship

Memory is a way of holding onto the things you love,
the things you are,
the things you never want to lose.

Mancat Monday ~ Caesar

Even in his youngest kittenhood
Caesar had what it took to be a brave mancat!
>You can click on it and make it bigger<

Princess:
This is a photograph of us in early June 1991. This photo mommie got from the breederlady.
this is Caesar and me and the all black kitten walking there in the middle is our brother. He stayed with his mommie and daddie when Caesar and I were adopted by our mommie June 27th 1991.

This is what Blizzie says about Caesar when she sees this olde picture.
"This is the most adorable picture. I cannot look at it without screaming with happiness. Look at his puffy muzzle, because he is in 'skunk mode'. And note his splayed paw, ready to swipe at his littermate's tail. Look at his stubby little ears bent forward they are so tiny!
My favorite part of his kitten body would have to be his chunky little tummy look how tiny he is and his hind legs, and his little tail. Prinnie looks like she's on a trail--! sniffing!"

This photo was taken almost 17 years ago!

To look backward for a while
is to refresh the eye, to restore it,
and to render it the more fit
for its prime function of looking forward.

Whitecat Wednesday or Thursday

Princess:
I certainly hope every cat is doing well.
Here, I am doing wonderful. My bloodworks came back and I am okay... I do need to continue on the Hills K/D but also I just have subq's one day per week. That is not bad.
Mommie went to the vet place and got me a sample of some different k/d canned foods. I tried the Purina one this afternoon and it was deeelish!

Mommie is doing okay. She misses Caesar. She cannot change this so she will just try every day to be brave and live happy and think of Caesar. She found some cute pictures of me and Caesar when we were kittens. She should scan them.

The storms yesterday that caused lots of damage, deaths and sadness in the south, are passing not so ferociously through Virginia right now. It is really windy here.

thank you for being our friends.
~purrrs, Prinnie

I would thank you from the bottom of my heart,
but for you my heart has no bottom.

Some things about Caesar

Princess:

Caesar always liked to climb on to the fridge and up to the top of the cabinets. It was a scary climb for him but he refused to believe that he should stop. Caesar liked to spend cold days up there because there is a heat vent up there.

Here are a few of many names that we called Caesar:
1. Holstein Kitty
2. Cowboy
3. Skunkboy
4. Mr. Peepee
5. Beeberboy
6. Loverboy
7. Love tiger
8. Softieboy
9. Two-tone tiger
10. Caesar puppy
11. Puppy guybert
12. Tigerpoos

Caesar really did not care what you called him. He was always happy and lovable.
Our house is really quiet now. Caesar used to be quite loud. He loved to meeyowl all over the house and he loved to make thundering elephants all by himself.

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to Heaven
And bring you home again.
