| PURRBY He first found me on Halloween night 95.Every night when I rode home on my bike he would be there in a flash.He loved my fish in my aquarium and never tried to eat them.In May 96 I met my dear future hubby.I moved in with his sister and him in July of that year.A animal had got at Purrby and messed his leg up really bad.Ramona called me and told me he was limping and I took him to the vet.He stayed overnight .They said he would have died if I hadn't brought him when I did.I took care of him everyday,letting him stay in my little room.When he was all better,I took him to the fish house and with a very sad heart set him free July 96.Where I lived they did not allow pets of any kind:(When I went back to feed him that evening he was gone.I advertised to no avail~announced "Pet Lost" on the radio.I had given up ever seeing him again. I was so miserably sad. Three weeks later...he found me. My mate and I had went out one morning early and he said "Look over there~ that looks like Purrby" I called to him and he slowly walked over to the car and hopped up on my lap. He was licking and purring,he was so happy and so was I. He came to the outside door of the apartment am and pm and I fed him losing many a dish:) Then we moved to his Dads apt in Sept.His Dad was very sick and could not care for himself.He moved into his daughters apartment.We just switched apartments. Of course this confused Purrby and he was lost to me again :( All I had was a beautiful gold charm cat that my mate got me. Purrby found me again. I heard him outside the door meowing.I opened the door and he ran in. He was home. He is so big now 25 pounds.He is so soft and cuddles with me,sleeps with me when my mate is out to sea.He has taken over my favorite chair.He jumps up in my lap when I sit in the chair,and licks me so sweet.He is my cuddle cat and he's on the internet in Cats~the Poly site and on his very own special pages. |

| Take Pause with Claws |
| January 14, 2002 I found no funny articles on claw clipping.It is a most dangerous and tedious chore.Especially with the Kat Demon Purrby.Of course he only turns in to the "Lion King" when I try to clip his nails. Cutting cats nails from personal experience A TRUE STORY Say nice Kitty Rub his nose While you are doing this have the nail clippers ready for action You by all means must keep him off guard Pick up his paw and gently rub the pad At the same time maneuver yourself in a defense and counter attack mode~ He knows what you're up to If you're lucky... you will get one nail by default If you're not... You must first give yourself immediate first-aid treatment !!! Now is the time you get a pillow The size will depend on your cat how big and fat or tiny and thin This sounds drastic But some cats hate to have this procedure done and they will bite, They will kick and claw there way out of your lap or chair~ I put my Purrby in a deep chair ~ When all of the above fails,its time for <ah no> the pillow!!! Place it over as much of his body that you can without cutting off his breathing By this time he will be breathing heavily and drooling at the mouth Take your best shots and hope for the best.

Purrby's Close Call with the Bridge I came in the back room where Purrby has been most of the day.I gently picked him up and held ever so gently and we had another talk.He kneaded my face so gently with his mittens.He purred,and rested so comfy in my arms,his tail wagging in happy mode.After we talked of many things I gently put him down and he ate from his bowl,the dry RD diet.I think he likes it.I just don't understand how he can even think of eating if he is filled up with feces again.With the utmost full intent I give Purrby my utmost promise that I will not let anyone stress him,I will not leave his side and take him to that place he knows is not anything like home.I told him,when he is ready I will walk with him part ways.I explained to him that when he chooses to go to the front gate that is far as I can go for now.I let him know if he was in pain or suffering I would continue to help him. He will be so happy when he passes through.I sang his Pretty Purrby Boy song to him and told him he was the best friend I could ever hope to have.He always remained by my side,he waited up nights for me when I worked.He found me three times when I had almost given up any hope of seeing him again and then he would just be there.The feel of his head rubbing the palms of my hand and then his body circling around my legs with that soft brush of fur. I told him that behind the gate and over the bridge the rainbows will be everywhere and lots of green grass~the best for his chewing pleasure.There will be fluffy white clouds to nap and sleep on.Most of all he'll remember me and how I loved and cared for him.He'll have butterflies and dragonflies to romp and play with to his heart's content.He'll always have fresh cool water that he can drink right from a stream.The air he breathes will be pure and free of dust and other things that make him sneeze. It is after all the heavenly scent of Rainbow Bridge and it is the best resort this side of mama's. I explained to him that he won't have to worry about the other animals fighting or hurting him.They will be so glad to see such a beautiful white cat.He will be the new boy in town and he will be so popular and he will have so many little baby kitties following him and mama cat around. I think he understands me better then alot of humans I know. He will forever be my heart.My Purrby Boy. He mentioned the story he wants to write and asked me if they have computers up there.I told him we would concern ourselves with the details later. I thought maybe he could tell me the story in my dreams and it would be so special that I would never forget it. Of course I will put it on paper for all the WWW too see<G>.He purred a deep sigh and said that's great mama. Then he added will your comfy velvet slippers that I put my paws in be there? I said if you imagine them there THEY will be there too,waiting for you. Just now I reminded him to not forget mail call.The way he sat in my chair in front of the computer and would say"Meow"Or the way he would stand on his hind legs and put his paw in his bowl as a form of exercise. That was a ritual with him and me. The bowl didn't get put down until... of course now I am hand feeding him,assuring myself that he is getting his nourishment and medicines. |
