I am a Queen

All of a sudden one of the darn fingers just fell off....

I had a wonderful 4th Birthday this week. My mom works with children and she made me a birthday Crown with some of the schoolage children. I liked it and thought it was neat to smell all the little hands on my crown that helped with the design:) I also had Heart Shaped cookies instead of real people cupcakes this year. Mom said I have to loose some weight so that is why she opted for the dog cookies instead. They were yummy. Cyrus and I both inhaled our cookie. I also had a birthday party on one of the groups this week; it was very sweet of all my pals to celebrate my Birthday...thank you all so much!


Not sure what the age of 4 is going to bring but mom says I am becoming a snoop again in the house. The night after my birthday, while mom and dad went out to eat; I found one of moms gloves on the hall tree. It was so pretty; fushia and super soft. I brought it into the den where I teased Cyrus with it and it became a tug toy. All of a sudden one of the dang fingers just fell off. CYRUS yelled now look what YOU DID!!!! I politely collected the glove and stuffed in under my chest as I lay looking innocent on my bed. When mom and dad came home she immediately saw the ripped fushia, cashmere finger of the glove, laying in the middle of the floor. She asked US what happened to HER glove!?! I looked guilty as sin; Cyrus tucked his tail and whispered; "see, I told you; we are in trouble!' Mom scolded us in a matter of fact tone she gets sometimes with dad when he forgets something important, then she saw me laying on the glove!!!! Mom swiftly picked it up from under my chest and quicker than lightning she opened the trash can and threw it away. THEN SHE SAID...KIARA that was BAD...Naughty girl! I felt so bad about what had happened. I spent the rest of the evening trying to smile at mom and make up for the glove. Mom never stays mad too long. I have to control myself better on my snoop missions.


Hope everyone is staying warm. Going to snuggle a bit with mom and then its off to bed.
Sweet dreams...

My Boots the cat made his journey last night to the- bridge...

My cat brother Mr Boots left for the bridge last night. Yesterday was very emotional for mom. Boots started to shut down slowly three days ago and had made his spot behind the door in the computer room for his special place to make his journey to the bridge. He was not in any pain but slept non stop for two days with just a few sips of water when mom and dad offered him...yesterday morning he drank a tiny bit of milk for my mommy. She let him have that since he loved to drink milk from pops cereal bowl as a kitten. Mom and dad decided to let nature take its course since he was not in any pain and avoid stresssing him out with a ride in the car to the vet..he really did not like riding at all in the car, and mom felt strong that he would not make the ride. I am glad that they made that decision for him so he could go peacefully at home wrapped in his favorite blankie.
Boots made his journey last night to the Bridge and mom said that was his gift to us for Christmas. She told me that Boots was very old and that he knew we were all upset. He did not want to make that journey on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and so he went a day early; he wanted to join the Christmas celebrations at the bridge with all the angel kitties and pups. Mom said he did not want us to continue to be upset.
I will miss you Mr Boots my friend but mom told me that you will be in our hearts forever.

Mom found this poem yesterrday and she really liked it when she read it:

And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.

Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.

But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.

Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.

Kiara and the NC Pack

Boots the cat with many many lives....

Well this weekend started off wth a lot of sadness. Our cat Boots is very old... (not sure exactly of his age because when he came to live here the vet estimated him between 3 and 5) He stopped eating on Friday and was sleeping non stop...no pain... just sleeping and hiding as if he were trying to go off by himself to die. Mom cried a lot Friday night and did not think he would make it through the night. This morning he perked up and ate some tiki cat food...although he has made his new sleeping spot under the computer desk in dads puter room. Mom thinks he is really ready to go the bridge but since he is not crying or showing any signs of pain she is planning to just let nature take place and see what each day holds.

Mom prays that he will just go peacefully in his sleep when it is time. He might just fool mom and dad again...we had this scare twice now and its like he gets a new life:)

Last night I made dad let me go into the puter room to see him. I just layed down and looked at him. He raised his head and we touched noses. Even Cyrus has been showing interest in him and lays outside the puter room on the floor looking into the room to see if he is ok...they do not get along...Cyrus refers to Boots as the ole' Cuss. Boots scares Cyrus and Cyrus is not much of a cat lover. I love Boots very much.

I think Boots will go to the bridge when he is ready...and if he gets in pain my mom will know that she will have to take him to the vet to help him to the bridge...I pray that he goes peacefully right here at home under the puter desk...that way he can be with all of us when he decides it is time to journey. I keep telling him not to be afaid that it will be ok. He looks at me and tells me he is not afraid and that he will make the journey when he is ready:)
