Jellicle Ball: Calling the Names of Honorees
[A large Persian carefully adjusts his white vest, adjusting a pin in the shape of a winged cat and attaching a small red heart-shaped tag to the chain of his gold watch as he sits in the garden pavillion. In the far distance, the last glint of sun catches the water on the river far below. Slowly the great face of the moon appears above the mountaintop, illuminating the garden, the assembled guests, and the large white cat at the podium in clear moonlight.]

She was my Meowmie's Mom. She went to the Rainbow Bridge last night. She has a kittie named Adlai Stevenson and a dog named Madchen waiting for her at the Bridge. Amelia |

Jellicle Ball: Calling the Names of Honorees
As the last echoes of the reading of the list the full moon, which had
been visible through the tops of the towering oak trees, rises into clear view. The moon, seeming much brighter than Amelia remembers, illuminates the entire garden and the kitties and others sitting there. As she looks around, she sees that the castle's spotlights have been turned off - all of the light in the garden is from the moon's light. Many damp eyes can be seen. Along the edges of the garden Amelia's eyes detect dozens of kitty and doggy forms, but when she looks closely she can see more garden behind them - through the kitty and doggy forms. It seems that the castle's resident ghosts have come out to pay their respects as well. Amelia looks over the edge of the heights upon which the castle is situated. Seeing the glistening ribbon of river far below, the patchwork of farm fields filling the valley, and glittering of lights from the village and the farm houses, Amelia thinks "Uncle Serge, I am so sorry you aren't here to see this." |

A thank you. Jellicle Ball: Calling the Names of Honorees
"Debby Hanoka" wrote in message ... Please add Francis, House of Simmons, to the list. sniff He was a memfur of Tuxedo Nation, always well dressed. Fangu, Rosco P. Catrane, Age 7 Sheriff of Catmerica Popping in to say a sincere thank you to Debby. Francis, my lovely, lovely boy is no longer with me. He died in my arms yesterday, out in the garden, on a sunny day, beneath the branches of his favourite willow tree. He was able to feel the sun on his face and the wind in his whiskers one last time. He was 16 and until very recently, lively, fun, and still hunting any rodent that made its way into the garden. He loved his hens (we have three) and could sometimes be found curled up asleep in the straw of the hen house. In the end, it was kidney disease that got him, and he also had dementia creeping in. Waffles misses him too. The Mighty Huntress of eighteen of her own years, wandered around the house last night, calling out, searching nooks and crannies for her boy. After a while she decided that this hoomin could be a source of cuddles and she stuck to me like a limpet last night. The hoominz of Chateau Wafflycat are grateful to have been able to spend part of their lives with the joy in life that was Francis. That little abused stray kitten we took in years ago, who took many months to get to full health, turned into the sweetest, friendliest cat you could ever meet and he graced our lives for many happy years. Francis will never be forgotten. Thanks, helen s |
