The Rainbow bridge is what all cats and catpeople believe in. It gives us hope, and comfort, for we know, catlove is forever. Read on for the catstories below the bridge.





Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies, one who has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends where they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they each miss someone who was very special to them, someone they had to leave behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The eyes are bright and intent, the eager little body begins to quiver all over! Suddenly that lucky one breaks away from the group, and flies over the green grass, little legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. Happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands once again caress that beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together. . . .

Cat Haiku
You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
You must scratch me there!
Yes, above my tail!
Behold, elevator butt.
The rule for today
Touch my tail, I shred your hand.
New rule tomorrow.
In deep sleep hear sound
cat vomit hairball somewhere
will find in morning.
Grace personified.
I leap into the window...
I meant to do that.
Blur of motion, then--
Silence, me, a paper bag.
What is so funny?
You're always typing.
Well, let's see you ignore me
sitting in your hands.
My small card board box.
You cannot see me if I
can just hide my head.
Terrible battle.
I fought for hours. Come and see!
What's a 'term paper'?
Small brave carnivores
kill pine cones and mosquitoes
Fear vacuum cleaner.
I want to be close to you.
Can I fit my head
inside your armpit?
Wanna go outside.
Oh, no! Help! I got outside!
Let me back inside!
Oh no! Big one
has been trapped by newspaper!
Cat to the rescue!
Humans are so strange
Mine lies still in bed, then screams
My claws are not that sharp
Cats meow out of angst-
"Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
We could break so much!"
The Big Ones snore now
Every room is dark and cold
Time for 'Cup Hockey'
We're almost equal
I purr to show you I love you
Want to smell my butt?







The following stories have already been published,dedicated to all my friends who braved picking me up at my home when we planned to go out, despite being covered with cat hair by the time we were going out the door.
To the cat sitters who made it possible to have a 'normal' vacation every once in a while. And last, but by no means least, to all the little rascals, past, present, and future ones, who curled up in my lap, purring and trusting that I would watch over their sleep, making me realize the ultimate happiness would be the possibility to be re-born as a loved feline…. MREOW!!!
