Yesterday, the cat blogging world lost one of its brightest stars, when
Sparkle the Designer Cat passed away at age 11. Her wit and wisdom - so richly evident in her books and through her amazing social media presence - were unmatched, and she was an inspiration and a true and supportive friend. Sparkle's greatest legacy will most certainly be her compassionate and tireless efforts on behalf of shelters and rescues, and for feral and homeless cats all over the world - even at PAWS, where she and her human recently sponsored three cats (Patch, Sweet Pea and Oreo) who are waiting for their forever homes.
Fly free, Sparkle. You are truly one in a million, dear friend, and we will love and miss you always. Thank you for all you have been to those of us fortunate enough to have known you, and for all that you will continue to be for so many.
If you'd like to express condolences to Sparkle's family, please visit her blog

Beautiful tribute. RIP to a cat blogging pioneer, champion of those cats who have no voice and shining light.
I shall remember Sparkle, always. Always and forever.

We are so sad to read about Sparkle's news. This is very lovely tribute for her. We will miss her forever.
Yes, it was truly a sad day and a great loss of a wonderful kitty. I know some people can't understand why anyone would mourn a cat they never met in person, but it makes perfect sense to me. We get to know these blogging cats almost as well as we know the ones in our own homes, and our hearts break when it's their time to leave. RIP Sparkle. She will be forever in our hearts.
This is a lovely tribute to her, and I think it is wonderful that her generosity made it possible for Patch, Sweet Pea and Oreo to find forever homes.
A lovely tribute. Sparkle will be greatly missed by so many.
A beautiful tribute. Sparkle will be missed by all. She was a special kitty who did so much for others. Farewell, beautiful girl.
Sparkle truly did Sparkle- she will be missed by everyone.
The world is a little less bright today without Sparkle in it. She will be missed by us all.
Shine in the sky bright Sparkle! Me-Ommmmm
Such a sad day. Sparkle we will all miss you!
We love what you said here, such true words and a heart-felt tribute to Sparkle. We will miss her so much.
I'm so sad for Sparkle, but she's adored by many.

RIP Sweet Sparkle. May your star shine bright on us.
Beautiful tribute. We shall miss her.
Purrs xx
