Goodbye sweet Soraya
Early this morning my sweet sister Soraya went to Rainbow Bridge.
On April 24, 2007 she came into our lives when I found her in the animal shelter in Geleen. Last night all of a sudden she got sick, the vet could not help her anymore so the staff took her back home. Soraya softly purred and snuggled with them all night, until around 8 AM she peacefully went to the Bridge.
Thank you so much KC for this beautiful graphic of our beautiful girl!
Princes Carnival 2009
In the carnival period not the mayors are head of the towns, but the princes of Carnival are…
Last night the official Carnival (4 days) started. Earlier my husband Karl transported to Limburg again because he and I are chosen as Cat Princes Carnival 2009 of my hometown Heel!
…and SOMECAT sneaked herself in Karl’s duffel bag… (No, not Sassy! Hahahaha)
Prince Ruis I & Prince Karl I
After the official photo was made, we went on partying “Biej Wil & Vief“, the official Princes Palace in Heel during carnival!
Vief with Somecat around her shoulder…
Our friend Astrid (with the colorfull wig behind Luna) went with Luna to the ladies litterboxes.
Click the player below and sing along…
And that is the kind of music we will be hearing until Tuesday, hahahahah
Also in the drinking and partying crowd was my brother Bubbles.
The sleeping Princess… Hahahahahaha.
See here how Luna was able to come to Limburg and how she called it!!
Taylor… and our friends
It is now more than fourteen days ago that my doggy sister Taylor got a stroke. From an active old lady she changed into an unhappy and helpless dog…
You sent Taylor LOTS of purrrrs, kisses, healing vibes and thoughts. When Taylor got sick luckily also my husband Karl, my family-in-law and our friends Sassy, Asta, Opus and Momo were here in Limburg. So they were helping a LOT, too!
And could I tell you last Saturday that Taylor was doing much better, now I can say: she is completely better!!
THANKS TO EVERYONE!!
When our family and friends were here, we took some more photos of them with Taylor… It was when Taylor could not walk without being held by the staff.
Asta had a plan and made a route of yellow ducks in the garden…
… and Opus and Sassy were very curious…
She wanted to let Taylor walk on her own again… and it seemed working!
Asta, Momo and Mrs. OZ were following Taylor’s small steps.
They were practicing for hours, until it was dark outside.
And after a good meal it was time to sleep! We, all the Kattenpraat cats, are sleeping in the living room or somewhere upstairs, and the dogs, especially Taylor prefers her bed in the hall at night.
But this night started not as quiet as always…
Together with our family and friends we were with 17 cats and 3 dogs…
So many of you did such wonderful things to help my sister Taylor.
