Living in a Cat's World ~ Even at the Bridge!

Five Years and a Special Bell!

Today is the 5th anniversary of my journey to the bridge. Thank you to all my friends who remembered me today.

Does your Mom believe in signs? You know, when something special happens that can't be explained?

Well, today Mawmee and Daddy were going to run errands. They decided to stop at a Circle K first and get a drink. Daddy went inside while Mawmee waited in the car.

She glanced over and saw a windchime in the little tree that was next to the car. It had a note attached to it. She got out and went over to check it out.

It was a pretty windchime with a note that said You have found a Ben's Bell. Here is a picture of the note.

Well, Mawmee got very excited because she had just read about Ben's Bells in yesterday's newspaper!

When Daddy came out of the store, Mawmee told him all about finding the bell. He thought it was very cool. Here is Mawmee holding the bell and standing next to the tree where she found it.

You can read all about Ben's Bell Project on their website. Today is the 10th anniversary of little Ben's death. He was almost 3 years old. There is a Facebook page too.

Ben's Bell will remind Mawmee of the kindness of strangers, and it will also remind her about how precious life is and how sad that Ben's family only had him for a short time. Ben still lives on through this special project. Over 24,000 bells have been distributed since 2002.

Mawmee is honored to have found this special treasure on a special day!

New Page!

Thanks to a cat, Rocky and I have a new page design! Those Catster cats have some smarts! Thanks to Pansy for helping us with code to be able to create something new for our pages.

Rocky and I keep busy up here at the bridge - between angel dust sprinkling, parties, and wing fittings, we are happy angels. It is difficult for Mawmee to visit our pages because she ends up crying. She says it doesn't matter how much time passes, we are always going to bring tears to her eyes because she misses us.

Thanks again, Pansy!

Birthday!

Today I would have been 17 years old! It sure makes my heart happy to see that my pals have not forgotten about me.

For those of you who know my cat brother, Calvin, you know that he likes to share secrets from the bridge. I'm glad the Top Dog hasn't found out that he is revealing all the special things that happen up here!

As all the angels know, there is a big bowling tournament every time a dog or cat has a birthday. Sometimes we even play together, but you know how cats like to catnap in between games - it takes us forever to finishing up!

If you hear any loud noises tonight, you'll know it is just the angels bowling!

Thanks again for remembering me on my special day! Let's eat cake!
