Diana's favorite thing to do was purr. I'm not kidding. Her little motor ran at all times. Her other favorite hobby was throwing up hairballs which wasn't quite as enchanting. Diana's feet looked like little mittens since she had extra toes on each paw! Her distinctive tracks would even show up in the carpet!

She was a beautiful cat and you were lucky to have all that time with her. I am sorry she is gone.

This is a beautiful poem for our furry-friends:
Rainbow Bridge (Author Unknown)
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to
someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are
meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can
run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and
sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who have 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
very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run
and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops
and looks into the distance. His/her bright eyes are intent;
his/her eager body begins to quiver. Suddenly s/he begins to
run from the group, flying over the green grass, his/her legs
carrying him/her faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend
meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted
again. The happy kisses rain upon your face, your hands again
caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting
eyes of your pet, so long gone form your life but never absent
from your heart.
Then together you and your special pet cross the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your best friend. Diana was a beautiful girl! The lives of my family have been tremendously enhanced by the memorable cats who have graced our home over the years, as well as the dogs who have also been a major part of our family and who have always been loving friends with the kitties.
Thankfully, we do have wonderful memories of the love given and received so freely by all of us, whether human, feline or canine. We're truly never the same after they've once become such an integral part of our lives so please accept a hug from someone who understands and empathizes. :)

Please accept our condolences. We well know the sorrow of losing a 4 legged family member. We had to put our 14 yr old Golden Retriever down this summer. We just got a Golden Retriever Puppy this week - Simba. Gotta love the Puppy Kisses! We have a cat - Sasha - that looks very much like Diana. He is just one year old & very loveable.

Hi Stephanie,
I have 4 cats and they are all very dear to me. I really understand how close a person feels with their animal friends. After all, they are sometimes better friends than people. You were so thoughtful to share your memories with all of us and thank you for your sweet story about Diana. God Bless. Connie in Vandalia, OH

I so appreciate your kind words about my lovely angel-cat! I do miss her, but I have so many good memories (and now good comments) regarding her that I feel my life is still enriched by her furry little self. There's a new kitty at my house now, and we're getting pretty close. I hope all your little cats live healthy, happy, and long lives! Thanks for looking in on my Diana. Stephanie

Hi, When I saw your cat Diana my heart went pitter patter. My Kallie looks identical to your cat and she is now getting up in years. She is 13. I'm so thrilled to hear that your precious cat lived 19 years because I already worry about the day that Kallie will pass. Fortunately she is in good health. She also loves to purr. We just adopted 2 kittens that are sisters and Kallie is not too happy these days. I'm sure you are heart broken.

Like Cyinda says, thank you for sharing Diana with us. True love and joy shared between Diana and you.

Thank you for sharing such a wonderful story! It gives us all hope that we might be as fortunate as you & have our cat live such wonderfully long lives. Wow! to think how much you 2 have gone through. It's simply amazing to contemplate! & now your sweet furry love is purring in contentment & running through the wildflower meadows of the afterlife chasing dragonflies. Thank You!
