For Bonnie

Poem For Cats

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.

Hi Capt'n Jack and Sir Dante and your people. We're sending love and hugs to you this sad weekend on the blogosphere. We thank you for your kind and caring comments on my blog during the Food Dude's illness. I told the Food Dude I could get the cats to purr for him, and you all came through for him. I can't tell you how much that helped him, and me, and all of us! So many hugs and purrs from all of us in CA to those of you in FL.

Paws, Halloween and her people

My heart goes out to Bonnie's family. I am so sad about her.

And what a lovely poem. That is one of Mom's favorites. It always makes her cry and then run around hugging and kissing all of us Ballicai, one after the other.

Leaky eyes here.

Purrs and snuggles to you sweet fellows.
