She walked in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright
Met in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
~Lord Byron
Sparkle was all about making a difference in this world for kitties who aren't as fortunate as she was, and as most of us are. So I convinced the Human to join in the Commentathon today (to be fair, it really wasn't very hard) to raise funds for Tabby's Place. We will donate $1 per comment (up to $100), so c'mon kitties--start meowin'! We will leave comments open here till Monday night at 11:59 p.m.
Wonderful tribute, making the world a better place for cats is a great way to live and be remembered indeed

Hi Spitty…Cat Scout Charles here. I have a good Cat Knowledgeable lawyer on retainer and I'd be glad to send him your way. Good for you getting your human to support Sparkle's Commentathon.
ReplyDeleteUnbelievably late - but wanted to say what a lovely tribute this is. Well done Spitty.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful tribute to Sparkle. She would love that other kitties are still being helped in memory of her.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful tribute and generous support for the Commentathon is the perfect memorial to Sparkle.

Dear King Spitty;
ReplyDeleteViceroy Oliver here, sorry I'm so late. I've been laid up in my hammock for three or four days now and have That Woman waiting on me hand and foot. I've been to the ol Vet & he took pictures of me insides. Eww. I'm just glad none of them insides had to come outside for the pictures. So of COURSE there's nothing wrong with me so I gots three days of anti inflammatory meds. Of course That Woman was quite inflammatory on the way home griping somewhat about there being 'nothing really wrong...again and yet she's 300 green papers less. She loves me so much I tries to tell her not to worry but then laying around alla time and not playing chase with her makes her upset.
P.S. I'll be really glad when the kittentots are gone.
Your pal
Ollie
Dear Spitty Cat
ReplyDeleteMiss Jack here, hope this finds you well rested after the holiday. I can vouch for Oliver's story though as That Woman has to pass me every time where I'm sleeping on the bed. I rarely come out to her in the living room unless those damn kittens (TDK) are put away. There's only two but it's practically a herd and alla us are quite...mature... and don't want such attentions as they practically run in, tails straight up and RIGHT INTO MY FACE... HHHHIIISSSSsssssssssss! Ugh! Damn things. You wouldn't perhaps, need a minion would you? We could send the one that doesn't have a home yet. She's quite loving to That Woman and purrrrs up a storm. That Woman calls hers Cosmo which is short for Cosmos since she looks like she has a gillion stars nestled in her black furrs.
Well, back to bed for me. TDK are due to be released into the house soon.
xoxo
Miss Jack
Heya Spittster!
ReplyDeleteThat Scrappie Cat here, I'm kinda nervous writin you a letter and all. I'm kinda a nervous, twitchy cat to begin with ya see.
