We went to the Blessing of the Animals/Pets at the Grotto today. Lots of dogs, all sizes and breeds, some cats, and people even brought sweet boxes of their deceased pets ashes. Very touching. Father Leo did a wonderful blessing with heartfelt prayer and even holy water. Joey was fine with the blessing, could have done without the water 🤪

This little Jewish family takes all blessings offered!

The "Titanic Cat" who foresaw the sinking and retrieved her babies before the ship sailed. 😮
Jenny the cat was the Titanic's mascot, brought on board to help fight rodents. She lived in the ship's galley and was cared for by a laborer named Jim Mulholland.
During the sea trials, Jenny gave birth to kittens and Jim found them a comfortable place next to the ship's galley. Caring for the mother cat and her kittens broke up the monotony of Jim's work preparing the Titanic for sailing. Jenny seemed content with her warm place near the boilers, her babies, and the kitchen scraps that Jim brought her. However, as soon as the ship docked in Southampton, England, just before it began its maiden voyage (to New York), Jenny took a good look at her surroundings and quickly began grabbing her kittens by the necks and carrying them out. One by one, down the gangway she led them out of the ship.
Jim watched her carefully and realized that "this cat must know something that no one else does!". He then quickly gathered his few belongings and left the ship as well.
Years later, Irish Road published Jenny's story after a journalist spoke to a very old man - Jim, who told the story.
He survived thanks to the cat and her kittens who warned him.

“He thinks cat owners suck,” the cats said. “Actually, you know what sucks? ‘Hillbilly Elegy.’"

Today we are deeply and profoundly mourning the loss of Mitchell the MeowSpace cat. At 18+ years old, Mitchell has lived an amazingly healthy life, and when on Saturday we noticed his breathing quite labored, we kept watch over him all night, then decided to take him to the ER early Sunday morning. After a thorough exam determined he had either respiratory or heart failure, we asked what could be done. The answer was medication 3 times a day for the rest of his life, which could mean days, weeks or months (not more than 6 months). He HATED and fought us viciously every morning when we gave him liquid Gabapentin for arthritis. He would certainly dread 3 daily battles of us forcing meds down his throat.

At 6 months old, when he adopted us, we promised to love him, care for him properly at any cost, and not force him into a miserable existence. We promised him a gentle and painless transition over the rainbow bridge when the time came.

So Sunday morning we said our very painful goodbyes and held him close and kissed him as our very gentle and kind vet administered a medication to put him into a deep sleep, followed by the medication to free him from this world.

Mitchell adopting us changed our lives utterly. We had never been owned by a cat before—just dogs—and the new education opened up love neither of us knew even existed. When our two old dogs crossed the rainbow bridge, Mitch was so lonely that we decided to open our home to another cat, who turned out to be Flopsie. The two of them bonded thoroughly and lived a beautiful 14 year together before she passed away. She had been a serious overeater and we needed to find a way to keep her away from Mitchell’s food. There was no good answer, and I had an idea. Corey Bruesch, our son, materialized my idea by building the first MeowSpace. The rest is, as we say, history. Life and livelihood changed by a funny little orange cat with attitude.

Mitchell was named after the street where he found us. Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that he loved having his nose covered by blankets, human hands or arms or legs or necks, or other pets. He will continue to be the MeowSpace frontman. www.MeowSpace.biz.
