Hello Friends, well here we are on the last day of 2010, I can't believe how quickly it has gone by. There have been some significant cat changes in my life since this time last year.
For one, I started this little blog and made a ton of fantastic new friends who have commiserated with me in the sad times and celebrated with me in the glad times. I cannot begin to tell you how much this has touched my heart :-)
We welcomed Archie into the fold back on February 9, he was such a skinny kitten and now is a gigantic mancat! He is so good-natured and I thank my lucky stars everyday that he is part of our family.

And last but not least, Jimmy (aka Ash) came to live with us on October 30. As I was telling Chrystal the other day he is a purring, cuddling ball of mischief and we love him. Jimmy has settled in with the boys amazingly well, there is constant playing and galloping around the house and it is wonderful to watch - LOL!

I hope that my cat population is now settled for many years to come :-)
I wish all kitties and their Mums and Dads a wonderful New Year filled with health and happiness, warmth and love!
It has been a year of changes for us all. This was a wonderful post and we wish you a lovely happy and joy filled New Year.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great post. That is such a good idea to have stockings for all the ones that have gone to the bridge. We would have lots and lots of stocking but that might be a lot of fun. Start working on it now.
ReplyDeleteWe wish you a very Happy New Year and a healthy one too. Take care.
Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteOur past year started out with the passing of our dear little Sophie. We still miss her.
But there was a lot of happiness too, when we adopted three new young ones. Now there is never a dull moment!
Hope you and your furry ones have a wonderful year of joy, contentment, and lots of hugs and purrs!!!
We are very grateful for your friendship this past year, precious friends...We wish you all a very Happy and Healthy New Year filled with love and joy...xoxo...J, Calle, Halle, Sukki
ReplyDeleteSuch a great post! I know you miss your Molly and I send you many hugs and purrs. I am so very happy Jimmy came to your place, he is very special. Happy New Year to all of you from all of us!!!

Happy New Year all of you. Jimmy, you are a lucky sweet boy to be a member of this family.
ReplyDeleteGive your mommy lots of kissies.
What a wonderful bittersweet magical journey 2010 has been for you. We are so glad that Archie and Jimmy fit into your heart and family so well...and what you said was so true about Molly. We like the tradition too of keeping the stockings up for all those present in physical form or not...filled with memories how beautifully true.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blessing we feel from having your furfriendship -- may your coming year be happy healthy and fulfilling!

ReplyDeleteSounds like you guys have had a big year of changes! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteCaro
You are all SO beautiful. My mommy wishes she could snuggle all of you.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to all of you. The stockings full of memories is a lovely idea. We know how sad Molly's passing made you, but Jimmy came to help ease your pain.
ReplyDeleteA lot went on with your kitty family in 2010 - I hope for all sorts of good things for you all in 2011!
ReplyDeleteOh, can you hear me purring?? And singing a sweet kitty song? That's how I feel knowing that our tradition of hanging our Bridge Angel's stockings will continue at your home too.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we will take them down, and as we put them up and take them down each year we remember all the wonderful memories we shared as a family.
Here's to a healthy and happy 2011!
Purrs,
Cory & Family

I have so enjoyed getting to know you this year, too! I hope you have a great new year.
ReplyDeleteWe just found you, so we don't have memories of reading your past posts.
ReplyDeleteBut, we do like your tradition of hanging stockings for kitties in the family that are no longer with you.
"The Boys" and I also want to wish you a very Happy New Year.
It looks like you've got a houseful; each and everyone adds so much love and dimension.
2010 started with the loss of our boy Crystal. So many have been lost around the blogosphere this past year. It does help to have contact with others who understand. We like Cory's family tradition for the stocking of memories. We have lots of RB memories around here too. Happy 2011.
ReplyDeleteWe are so glad we got to know you this year! We hope that 2011 is a great year for you all!
ReplyDeleteIt was great meeting you this year. A toast to new friends and more fun in this new year.
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Genghis
Yes, it seems for every joyous moment, there is a sad one. However, Molly's life is something to be celebrated. I don't think either one of you could have asked for more -- with 19 wonderful years together. That's a lot of memories to fill a stocking with -- you better make it a big one!
ReplyDeleteAnd Archie and Jimmy have both turned out to be such wonderful additions to your family! We wish you all a Happy New Year and may you all live long and prosPURR!
Hello! Happy New Year! I'm happy to have found your blog through the Carnival of the Cats!
