Miss Patches Lady1997 - Nov. 19, 2010
Oh, dear Patches, where do I begin? I guess it was when you came walking up our driveway after being abandoned by your previous owners. You were an "in charge" cat, even then. You told me, "I am here to stay, like it or not." And.......we loved it. You always were a Daddy's girl and preferred his lap. Funny how, when he was holding you and I came in the door, you would get down, really quick, like I would be jealous.
You were finally diagnosed with Auto Immune Deficiency (Lupus) right before your final breaths. Three different vets and tons of blood work, all of them thought it was thyroid. It was the AID attacking your thyroid, like it was attacking the rest of your body. I am not going into the ravages this thing took on your little emancipated body and I don't blame anyone; AID is very rare in felines, leave it to you to get something rare, you were a rare find! You fought such a valiant fight, such a brave little calico girl.
We will miss you signature "mack mack" and your soothing purr. We had eleven wonderful years with you. Many memories, but one that stands out is when I was diagnosed with an eye condition (macular hole) that finally warranted surgery. I cam home crying, you were in the gold chair, and I saw a big tear in your eye! You were a compassionate soul, a well seasoned traveler (going to Laughlin Nv. with Mittens for three years and staying in condos) and went camping in the Idaho woods. The first time I put your leash on, you fell over and couldn't get up. So funny. You loved it outdoors so I would put you out on our upstairs deck; you never tried to climb down, which would have been easy for you. You would scare me when you jumped on the railing in our bedroom, it was a long way down. You knew when I accidentally left the closet door open that houses the pump (someplace you were forbidden to go) and I could here you opening the door. You tolerated Mittens and Precious and actually got to love them, in your own cat way. They miss you, too, you know.
Three nights ago you slept between us all night. Now, this was unheard of as you never did that. If you stayed on the bed it was at the foot, or next to Dad, and only stayed a short time. We know you were saying goodbye. I touched you many times that night, always received a soft chirp. I could go on forever........
This morning we took your little body, wrapped in a blue towel with two of your favorite toys, and we laid you to rest in the kitty cemetery in the Big Piney Woods. You join Itsy Bitsy, a two day old kitten I fostered but was taken from me in a few hours; his momma refused to nurse him. There is a tile with a butterfly on it, on your grave and a candle is burning.
This closes another chapter in our life. I hope someday,the pain won't be so raw, the hurt so deep, and I can remember you with a smile, not with all these tears. Thank goodness for all the photos I have, The Big Piney Woods blog, and the website I made called "The Calico Girls" that I kept a copy of. (no longer online) You will always be a part of our lives, in our hearts you reside. Your pain is over and ours has just begun.
Love and kisses to you, lovely girl, RIP.

It's true, Miss Patches Lady won't be making that journey alone. She was too well loved, by so many kitties, so will have companions every step of the way.
We will miss you so very much - you (with Mittens) were the first kitties we met when we finally joined the internet some 10 years ago. As Toni knows, I loved you as if you were my own.
My heart aches for Toni and Ronnie, the pain is so raw just now but in time I hope you can look back on many wonderful times with your special girl.
Purrs and much love.
We are so sad and sorry for the loss of your beautiful, sweet Patches. You are in our thoughts and prayers. (((HUGS)))
Lots of (((hugs))) and Light from us at Fuzzy Tales....we're so sorry.
We just heard about your loss, and although we have not visited you before, we do know what it is like to lose a beloved friend. Please accept our deepest sympathy over the loss of Patches. The joy she brought you will be with you always.

I'm sorry to learn that Miss Patches has went to the Bridge. She will be sorely missed. It hurts to lose such a good friend; but, it is also comforting to know that she is no longer suffering. In time, the memories you shared together will be comforting.

*tears* Beautiful Patches reminds us so much of our Maggie May. They seemed to have the same tortitude and take charge attitude. Patches was a gorgeous girl and had such a wonderful and full like with you. She was so lucky to have found such a wonderful forever home after being abandoned. Please know you are in our thoughts and purrs during this very sad time. (((HUGS)))

What a lovely tribute to the beautiful Patches. Purrs and tail wags.
Hello Patches' momma. My name is Mayzie and we've never met but a furend of mind told me abouts your beautiful Patches having to go to the Bridge. This was a Most Lovely tribute to an oh-so-special girl. I can tell that she loved and was loved greatly. And that's the most any of us can ever hope for.
I hopes one day soon your memories of dear Patches will bring you smiles instead of tears.
Gentle wiggles and wags,

Such a loving and heartfelt tribute to Beautiful and Beloved Patches. This brought tears to Our eyes, and caused a great need to find a Royal to caress and love.
We have helped our share of many critters to The Bridge, and while the hole in Our heart remains, We are at peace knowing Our Furry Babes are free of pain and the darkness being Earthbound can - and does - bring.
Please know you will always have Our Love and do share deeply in your loss.
Blessings and Peace,

We are so sorry for your loss... Such a loFURly tribute to your beautiful girl. Our kitty friends get old and ill and when it is clear that they are suffering it is the last act of kindness we as PURRsons can do for them. Big hugs from our kitty family to yours.

An absolutely beautiful tribute to an absolutely beautiful girl ... I have tears running down my face after reading this. It has been a long time since I had to send my Max to the Bridge, and I know how much it hurts, even though it is the best thing to do. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Many, many hugs,
Momma Jan, Sabrina, Sam and Simon
I have only just "met" her and I am so sorry for her loss...
She looked a lovely cat and Im sure she was from this post. I know how it feels to lose a pet cat - My Sooty is still much missed even after 2+ years since his passing so I can understand...
I'm popping by from Zoolatry...
I am really so, so sorry for your loss. What a beautiful, amazing kitty! Although it's so raw at the moment, you have some wonderful memories...so much love pours out of your tribute.
My thoughts and prayers are stretching across the ocean to you this day.

Lovely tribute to Patches - we know she is watching over all of you as a angle above and waiting for you. In time your heart will hurt less and until then sending purrs to you all.
We are so deeply sorry for your loss. Patches was a gorgeous girl, and had quite the personality, too, from what you've said.
It sounds like you gave her a wonderful life after she was abandoned, and the love between you will never die.
We're sure Patches is just fine over on the Rainbow Bridge, but it's you, her family, that is left to miss her. Just close your eyes and you'll see her if you try.
There are no words to give to you to ease the pain in your ♥. Please know that you are not alone and that others care about you.
patches will be greatly missed in the CB. we enjoyed the stories of her and the other kitties. she was as unique as her markings.
Goodbye sweet patches!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde's Mom can't say much because this sounds so much like the way Samantha behaved when we had to make the heart-breaking decision to help her to the bridge (allergies kept getting worse & worse).
May the memories of love outweigh the grief of loss soon. Purrs & prayers.
Oh how awful. We're so sorry. Patches looks and sounds like such a nice kitty. Purrs to you and your family.
So Sorry to hear about Patches...that was a beautiful tribute to her. She may be gone, but she will never be forgotten. Comforting purrs are sent to you today.

A Message from Heaven
Speak not of death
for there is no such thing-
there is merely a parting of the ways.
I will walk on a little while
and wait
for you to count the sum of all your days.
And when you come
you'll find me waiting
with shining eyes
and silken well groomed fur.
You'll take me in your arms
just as you used to do
and angel choirs will be
drowned out by purrs.

Thank you for taking in Patches. She was SO lucky to have you, and you her.

Toni, that's a beautiful tribute. We cry for Patches again. She was the same age as Bonnie and it sounds like they were alike in other ways - running the house, preferring men, and so beautiful and proud. I can imagine how you feel right now; I wish I could say something to ease the pain. {{{hugs}}}

Oh Toni, Miss Patches was one of our very first friends here in the Blogosphere. You taught us all about the new way to speak through our very special creatures, our furry friends. You brought Patches into our hearts and our memories. This is so sad for us, it's like a passing of a whole way of life. Such a beautiful lady cat and her passing was way too soon. Be comforted that she will live in your heart forever and she was here for the time that you needed her.
Hugs and kisses,
Brenda, Beau Beau and Angie
Momma Toni -
This is Oscar's Daddy. I want to thank you so much for the comment you left on his blog, and for the sympathy you shared at his passing. I know that you fully understand the grief that our household is going through. I read the Big Piney Woods Cats blog and learned all about Patches; she sounds like one of the most adorable and wonderful cats in the world; you were truly blessed to have her enter your life, and she was blessed to have you as her Momma. My heart goes out to you and your cat-household.
I am so sorry for your great loss. I have been following your blog since The Calico Girls days and fell in love with each and every one of your cats. Patches was a darling and she will be sorely missed by all of us. We too will remember her fondly as the feisty, sweet and sensitive beauty that she was.
Big hugs,
5-Cat Style
Ohhh, we are SO sorry to hear about Patches. We did not know her before but we heard just today. We have now read back and see what a lovely, lovely girl she was, and SO loved. How wonderful that she had such a sweet and good mom for her life. We send our purrrsss and love licks to you and all fur babies there.

Mom and I are sorry to read on Abby's blog that Mittens is not doing very well. My purrs and Mom's prayers for Mittens and you. You have had a lot of sadness with your kitties recently. We know it is very hard.
