Cleocatra of House Stott, queen of the Grays, passed away while I was at work today. She was almost 18. She is missed.

Every year during the period between the First Calling of Names and the Final Calling of Names it hits me how quickly our loved ones are leaving us. It is just as hard the other weeks of the year, but it is now that it really hits my heart. Sammy

Please add Tommy, House of Paul.

Mine friends, if I could have your attention, pleeze. It has become time for a very special part of the Jellicle Ball - the Siamese Cat Chorale will now perform "Cat Angel" for us. And if we are furry lucky, we might be blessed with a chance to see our loved ones who have preceeded is to the...

As time flys and kittahs dance, the night speeds on. Soon it will be time for the MC to proceed with the calling of Angies song.

The local band, arranged to spell Hercule and his band, arrives and sets their gear to the ide of the main band area. They bring banjos, guitars, violins, juice harps, harmonicas, a wash board and a wooden spoon. The gear is old and well loved, but obviously functional. Hercule chuckles as he...

What can I say about my little orange buddy Sundance? He was with me for over 18 years, from the day I adopted him and his sister to the day the TED freed him from his suffering. I adopted Sundance and Cassidy together when they were five months old, but Cassidy lived only two more weeks. The TED...

Ali and I never actually met, but my hoomin Paw used to read to me about her from Facebook. There was much to admire about Ali - how she lived much longer than the vets initially said she would, her willingness to be a foster Mom to a bunch of foster kitties and doggies, her ability to train...

I work wif mine hoomins in pet rescue (though they usually don't know, since I ghost to where we're working) and I am moved by really touching stories. Grandpa Mason was one of those stories. Mason was rescued off the street as a weak, sick old mancat. He was VERY feral and didn't like much of...

Ladies and … Ladies and gentlecats, goggies, squirrels, skunk, raccooms, possums, and all of our offur guests, welcome to the 25th annual Jellicle Ball. We thank our wonderful guests, and I’m sure we all love dis beautiful setting in the Ozarks. This is both a sad and a happy occasion....

A local kittah of a lovely dusky silver with blue eyes and a hot pink bow greets guests and helps them sign in and select a glow stick. Daisy-Chan and the Countess sign in followed by Pepe, Gigi, and Rocky. She selects 2 glow sticks.

Daisy-chan face is straight but the tears roll as she speaks. How can you describe your savior? The reason why you are alive and shouldn't be? I was in a long dark. I do not know how many years for sure it was but I had no home. I lived off mice and bugs. I had many litters and most were...

A local kittah delivers a letter to Prince to read. Tears flow as he reads it to all: Smile with me as you read of her life, for that is more important than her end. Iowna was born Iowna Link to a very prestigeous line of beagles and show winners. She was no backyard breeder product but from a...

I hope you all will excuse a human intruding into these proceedings, but I need to offer a tribute to Dink. Dink was a Corgi doggy, and he lived with my son and daughter-in-law. Dink kept them safe and kept them company. When I had to stay with Sean and Katie after a family tragedy, I was...

"Silly Bobcat!! Thinks he can keep ME out of the Computer Room. Good thing the Moon is *almost* Full. He keeps forgetting that I come into my Power on *every* Full Moon Night." Hummmmm. I forgot the rooms in this new apartment are much smaller than they were in the old apartment. Oh well it...

Rosco: Meowmie Debby wrote this. I let her meow this herownselves. Meowmie Debby: Lilith Kitten Gordon-Mahoney was the first cat I raised -- or who raised me -- from kittenhood. She was born feral at the end of January in 2001, right around the time my grandfather started making his own final...
