Bardo

Bardo is the intermediate or astral state of the soul after death and before rebirth, in Tibetan Buddhism.

In the seven weeks since Celestial Sweetie left her Earthly body, we've kept her beddy, bowls, ramp, and toys in situ, and offered love and light to her spirit.

Seven weeks for this transition time, as we've given daily thanks for her journey with us, and our prayers for her soul and all souls to achieve higher rebirths as they move toward enlightenment.

Queen Sweet the First, Miss Growly Pants, Murder Mitts, and my Swee Wee.

We'll never stop loving you.

At Home

It's Sweetnesday, and Queen Sweet the First has come home.

Thank you to Ellen for the purrfect art to go with.

17 July is National Tattoo Day, and it just so happens that I have an appointment to have my Celestial Sweetie tattoo brightened with a ring of flowers.

I've chosen blooms that she lived with when an 'O' Cat.

Pics to be presented in the future, but let's have a moment of fun for this particular holiday:

 As I work from home, Celestial Sweetie was my all-day companion.

If she meowed, I'd stir her food bowl to make it more enticing.

If she jumped onto the bed, I'd lay down next to her for a brief time-out.

If she voiced her opinion of my online conference calls, my co-workers would call out her name.

If she wandered to the spare bedroom to nap on the cardboard, I'd sneak a peek through the partially open door to make sure she was okay.

Celestial Swee Wee, from late June 2024.

We'll tell more of her story later, suffice it to say that she was a braw lassie, with plenty of fight in her every single day.

She was small.

She was tough.

She was a lovebug.

She was unique.

❤️💔❤️

Good Bye

Sweetie earned her angel's wings yesterday afternoon.

It was time.

A constant in our lives since mid-2009, she enjoyed her retirement years inside and was pampered.

Farewell, little one.

A tiny cat leaves very big holes in our hearts.
