===========

Thank you all for your purrs, prayers and beautiful, caring comments about our Auntie Kathy's passing.  We are truly blessed by your love and friendship.

Thank you to our friends at Zoolatry for this wonderful memorial badge.

Farewell, Auntie Kathy.

Back in July, many of you began helping us purr and pray for our amazing Auntie Kathy (who had been diagnosed with cancer in April).  Your friendship, love and support was -- and is -- a great source of encouragement and strength, and we are so very grateful for all of you. :)

We wanted you to know that Auntie Kathy lost her battle with cancer this past Sunday night.  She was at home, and her passing was peaceful, with her two beloved daughters, my sister and other loved ones by her side.  We miss her already, but know that she is now at peace and in a much better place.

To know Auntie Kathy was to love her.  And everyone who met her did just that.  She had a smile that lit up every room she entered, and she was a source of peace, kindness, wisdom and hope to all with whom she came in contact.  She was also a huge animal advocate, who along with her daughters (my cousins) Mari and Alysa, fostered many a kitten for their local animal shelter.  Oh, and she was an awesome Scrabble player (everyone -- and I mean everyone -- in our extended family knows well the bitter taste of Scrabble defeat at her hands). ;)

Auntie Kathy was truly exceptional and remarkable.  The world, and all of us in it -- humans and animals alike -- are better because of her.  Here's a wonderful collage of her, through the years, that our Uncle Eugene (her brother) put together:

Godspeed, Auntie Kathy.  We love you always.

         

Queen of the Castle :)

Hey, was that you who knocked on the door of my carpeted castle?  It was?  Well, come on in for a  visit, because to know me (Swizzle) is to love me!  We can sit together and play some track ball, and you can pet me and give some brushing.  Doesn't that sound fun?

Our sweet friend Swizzle is available for adoption at PAWS.  She is about 6 years old, spayed, current on all of her vaccinations, and has tested negative for both FIV and FeLV.  She is tolerant of some other cats, but does not like dogs.  She would do best in a quieter home. Come meet Swizzle today! :)

Max on Monday

Here's our friend Max, posing handsomely on this chair...

... and showing the proper technique for drinking from the faucet.

Happy Labor Day to all of our friends here in the States. Of course, we also wish all of our other friends a most magnificent start to the week. :)

Friendly Cat Friday - Jack III

Here's sweet and friendly Jack III. Seriously, how can anyone resist that adorable face?  Or those cute paws?  Or those white whiskers?

This tuxedo mancat is about 4 years old, neutered, up-to-date on all his vaccinations, and has tested negative for FIV and FeLV.  Bring some sweetness into your life ... adopt Jack III today! :)

(Almost) Wordless Wednesday - Sisters

Cinnamon and Ginger (she's the one in the basket) are incredibly sweet senior sisters in search of a nice quiet forever home (together, of course).  While they seem to be okay with living in the PAWS records room, these beautiful ladycats are purring for a forever home with some nice sun puddles and some windows that are always showing "Bird and Squirrel TV."
