06/06/2023 - We love Poof. He was the softest and silliest grey and white Scottish Fold around. He was very big, so we called him a Gros Chat. Se ne pas un petit chat, il y a un gros chat. It was so easy to make him purr. He had such round fea tures and was so soft. His last two years were difficult. He survived a rough illness in April-May 2021. The vet said he wasn't going to make it, but he did, and ended up living another comfortable 2 years. At his peak, he was 17 pounds, but went all the way down to 7 pounds during his illness. During his last 2 years, he maintained a weight of 10-12 pounds.

He loved basking in the sun, rolling around in catnip, eating temptations treats, and eating grass.

His last words were "eeeeee."

From Jennifer, Al, Brendan and Brianna.

06/09/2023 - It's been one week since you left us. Seeing your sweet round face makes me sad and wanting to see you in person again, but it also makes me grateful you were here with us in the first place. We are so lucky to have adopted you after your previous owners gave you up for 2 boxer dogs. You are special and we would never have given you up.

06/12/2023 - It's over a week now Mario. I'm growing sadder with the realization that you are gone from us forever. It's painful, but at least you're not suffering anymore. Miss my sweet Poof. xoxo.

06/18/2023 - It's over 2 weeks now Mario. Feeling sad all the time. Miss you so much. We have your tree and other plants, even a palm tree, ready to go for your memorial. I bought you a small cat statue with wings, not sure if I'll put it outside at your tree or keep it in the house with your other stuff. But we miss you terribly. Hope you are well and happy and playing and eating with new friends, maybe even your mom and siblings. Hopefully xoxo

06/16/2023 - Today is 2 weeks Mario. Somehow we have to move on, but it's hard. Missing you more and more each day. I think reality is setting in after the schock. Not a good feeling. Rest well sweet Poof. xoxo

06/13/2023 - Miss you so much Mario, my Poofy cat. Needing to bring you "home" soon. Feeling sad. xoxo

06/20/2023 - Miss you sweet Mario. It's almost 3 whole weeks. I can't believe it. It is not the same in our house without you. I don't know how to move forward without you. We will be planting your tree soon. Your memorial tree. My sweet Poof. Miss you so much. We will continue the Monday night vigils. Goodnight sweet kitty. xoxo

06/21/2023 - We planted your tree tonight Mario. A pussy willow tree. It's very sweet, like you. A memorial for you. We miss you so much sweet Pooof.

06/23/2023 - It's been 3 weeks today Poof. Feeling so sad without you. Miss you so much. It's raining today, you must have sent that to us since it's a sad 3-week day. You're always with us though. Always. Miss you sweet Poof. Love you and hope Rainbow Bridge gives you health and happiness. xoxo.

06/25/2023 - Miss you so much Mario. My sweet Poof. Your memorial tree looks so nice. We're not done yet though. It's a weeping pussy willow tree. There's white stone around it and other plants. We also hung your framed paw prints in our living room. I just miss you so much Poof. Love you.

06/30/2023 - Well today is 4 weeks since we saw you last Mario. Each day I miss you more, I miss petting you, feeding you, listening to your purr, brushing you. But I am glad you're not suffering with your arthritis, hard of hearing, laboured breathing, inability to eat properly and without medication in it, your inability to sit properly or jump and run. But we all miss you so very much. Love you Poof. We'll continue the Monday night vigils and we have your tree outside which helps us cope. Please be well and happy. xoxo

07/01/2023 - Happy Canada Day Poof in Rainbow Bridge! Hope there are many nice things to celebrate. We will be here missing you on our first holiday without you. Love you Mario. xoxo

12/01/2024 - Goodnight my sweet angels, we decorated our tree today, Breezy & I. Last night your ornaments were the first ones on the tree. A little orange bird for my Pines, and a little green bird for my Mango. Every time I walk by them I think of you too. And of course Poofy's big white soft ball ornament, for my Poof. I miss you friends so much, Christmas will never be the same for me, but I have to be strong for my kids. They deserve a Christmas, but I know you three are all missed by everyone. o my Pines, Poof, and Mango. Please watch over us sweet friends, bring us home healthy and safe. I must make my donations in your honour soon. Goodnight sweet angels, sleep well together, stay warm and dry, miss & love you all so much, :( xoxo

12/02/2024 - My sweet angels, Christmas this year will not be the same, ever, without each one of you. Pines, last year at this time you were starting to not feel well, and we didn't know it. Pictures of you with Breezy, I'm so glad we got those, just before you became really sick. You looked so tired, your feathers weren't vibrant, you were getting sick Pines, I wish we had known. Maybe we could have gotten you to a vet Pines. And saved you. But we had no idea. And Poof, I really wish you were here, sitting under our tree. Miss you so much, And sweet Mango, you should still be with us, this Christmas. Our negligence ruined that. I'm so sorry sweet bird. Friends, please bring Brendan home next Tuesday night safely, I will be worried. Need your help again Poofy. Help my health too sweet friends, please watch over us. Goodnight, sleep well together, stay warm and dry, miss & love you all so much, xoxo

12/03/2024 - I can't move forward this Christmas without you, my sweet friends. You need to please be with me, right now, every day, deep in my heart, so that I can get through this season without you three. Pines, it is almost a year that things started to get bad. We had no idea last year at this time. I wish we knew. You must have felt weird, it didn't just happen overnight. But you were still eating and drinking and flying, until the day I noticed you were limping. What happened to my Pines, my sweet sweet bird? Missing Mango and Poofy so much too, I'm so sorry friends that you cannot be here. We need to work together so that we can be together through this season. I really need that. Poofy, please watch over Brendan, next Tuesday night, bring him home safe. Please. Goodnight sweet angels, sleep well together, stay warm and dry, love & miss you all so much, xoxo

12/04/2024 - Needing my sweet angels tonight, Pines, Poofy, and Mango-bird. I have so many memories and flashbacks of you all, some good, some bad. But mostly bad. Not that your memories are bad, I just remember the struggles you all had and it hurts me so much. I should have done more for you all, I should have brought Mango to the vet, I should have kept Piney in the house with me, that Xmas Eve she should have been in my room, so many things I did wrong. I should have kept Poof upstairs the last two weeks, i mean, what harm could he have done? i'm sorry friends, I try hard, but not always right. I'm so sorry. Please watch over Brendan Poof, I can feel travel coming about, starting Tuesday night. Please bring him home safe, always, and all of us. Help with my health friends, I am struggling with that and anxiety. Goodnight, sleep well together, stay warm and dry, miss & love you all so much, xoxo

12/05/2024 - My sweet angels, my friends, I miss you all so much. I'm so very tired, I need to rest. I need to know that you are all with me, deep within my heart. Please. Please send me signs. My sweet angels. Pines, in another week it will be a year that you became paralyzed, and then very sick. And I still don't know why. Why you left. Why you were taken from us. I still cry for you every single night. I miss you so much Pines. I always will. And Poofy. And Mango. My sweet angels. Please watch over us friends, bring us all home safely, and watch over Brendan Tuesday night Poofy, bring him home safe, and always. Goodnight sweet friends, stay warm and dry, it is cold out, sleep well together, miss & love you all so much, xoxo
