Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day 2022 #SundaySelfie

Meows from Mudpie!

We weren't really sure what to do this year for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. After all, just last month we honored Tara and Truffles on the anniversary of their journey to the Bridge, and last week saw the celebration of what was Truffles' Gotcha Day.

Since this special day falls on a Sunday this year we thought we would create a selfie collage of all the cats that came before me. There's not a doubt in our minds that Mommy's angel kitties are watching over us every single day. 


We were heartbroken to find out that the Bridge gained another angel last week in the form of Sula, the San Juan Bautista Mission Cat. I was honored to get to interview her several years ago - one of my favorite interviews ever. Sula bravely fought cancer for the majority of her life. She was an angel here on Earth and now she's an angel in Heaven.

ABOUT RAINBOW BRIDGE REMEMBRANCE DAY:



This special day was created by Deborah Barnes – author, award winning blogger, and cat advocate in tribute to her cat, Mr. Jazz, who she had to say goodbye to on August 28, 2013. She shared the journey of letting him go in her book, “Purr Prints of the Heart: A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond,” a warm and heartfelt book that is written in the wise and comforting voice of Mr. Jazz himself as he shares his life and death journey to offer guidance and understanding through a cat’s perspective as to why sometimes letting a pet go can be the greatest gift you give them.

special event page for Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day has been created on Facebook so that people can share blog post links, pictures, poems, favorite memories, etc. 


We're joining our friends at The Cat On My Head for the Sunday Selfies blog hop!

Not a day goes by that I don't think of my angel kitties. As you get older and you look back and realize how many pets you've had and how short their lives are compared to a human life, it just makes me sadder. I love your photos of your kitties though how wonderful. Thank you Mudpie for sharing this day with the picture and the reminder that it is a special Sunday.

Mudpie, How lovely that you and your Mom made a collage of remembrance from those kitties who came before. I know what it's like, too. They may not physically be there, but the love is forever.

How sad about Sula. I remember her book. All your angels were beautiful. XO

M Dawson said...

Oh Sula looks amazing. She reminds me of Harvey when he had his ears done. I am sorry she has gone, I will go read your interview.
