Perfectly Parker - Remembering Our Angel

A year ago today we lost our wonderful, sassy, sweet, fabulous, gorgeous, loving and much loved Parker Pie.

There are no words to describe the hole that Parker's passing left in our hearts. She opened up a whole new world to us with our Cat Blogging friends. She was born a feral and died a much loved, spoiled housekitty. Not a day goes by without us thinking of something that reminds us of her. Ricky Tiki Tavi's meow, an empty (!) food dish, a chewed up toy mousie or the empty spot next to my pillow that was her special spot. If heaven means that you get to meet all of your loved ones when you pass, I look forward to seeing her and getting one of her trademark smoochies. No one gave 'em better.
We love you Parker Pie. We always will.

*Many thanks to the wonderful and talented Zoolatry for the great Parker graphic!

Parker Updates



Hey there kitties - just a little update on how I am feeling. I have gained back some of the weight I had lost and I am getting a little more active. I have been getting extra stinky goodness from Daddy and Mommy thinks that I may have "turned a corner".  All I have to say is that if turning a corner involves extra stinky goodness, I have my turn signal on!
Smoochies kitties - enjoy your weekend!

Remembering The Ones Who Came Before

Dear Payton,

I never got to meet you, but I have heard a lot about you and I know that you are the reason I have a home today. So... I owe you a lot. Mommy and Daddy are having sad feelings today, a few leaky eyes, but they are laughing too. They like telling stories about you. Seven years ago today, you suddenly left for the Bridge. I thought I'd let everyone see what a beautiful girl you were. I know that someday we will meet at the Bridge - we can compare notes about Mommy and Daddy and I can see for myself why they always say that I remind them of you so very much. You must have been a very wonderful cat.
So today my angel sister, I honor you.
Love,
Perfectly Parker

You got to go outside. You really enjoyed it too!

Mommy and Daddy said you were a most beautiful cat.
