Weebie, wonderful Calico

[pomtzu]

I submitted Weebie for COTD quite some time ago and I find that today is bittersweet because my beautiful girl left me on September 30th this year as a still feisty 19 and a half year old (she had an incurable mouth inflammation that began to keep her from eating and I could not bear to allow her to starve to death and her vet, wonderful "Dr. Nick" said, "It's time".)

A friend who is an amazing sculptor in wood made her a gorgeous tri-color urn from the woods of holly (white), ebony (black) and stained maple (orange)and she is still with me on the fireplace mantle. And now, through COTD, she comes back to me with a final message in a way--so what if it took COTD a while to get to her! It is truly special for me to see her once more, as she was.

I am writing a memoir of my life with Weebie and hope to publish it in 2011 in some form or another....with pictures. You all have gotten a chance to preview what I hope to be a little longer story. She was the joy of my life for almost 20 years.

I'm so sorry to read that Weebie is no longer with you - in body anyway. Her being today's COTD just shows that they never really totally leave us. It sounds like she was a wonderful lady, and I know you must miss her immensely. Hopefully you will let us know when you are ready to publish your memoirs. I for one would love to read more about you and Weebie and your amazing life together. Won't you please give her beautiful urn a little pat from me as we close out yet another year. Blessings to you and yours.

I am sorry to learn that Weebie is no longer with you. She certainly looks regal in her picture. I think she is looking down at the site and thinking that it's about time she was chosen to be Cat of the Day.
