Lone Star Felines Rainbow Bridge Tribute
We are furry sad to say we have had to place our first rainbow by one of our Honorary Texan's names..  M&M, one of our furry first Honorary Texans crossed Rainbow Bridge 15 July, 2000.  M&M was a furry special kitty, and we send our Texas purrs to his brofur Lloyd and his Meowmie and Deowdie.  We will miss M&M, and he will always be in our thoughts.  M&M was MGD's secret pal in CLAW Flower Society and that was how we got to know him.  M&M also helped Spyder & MGD with their DCH doctorate paper for CLAW.  Lloyd misses M&M furry much, as we all do.
M&M, kitty angel, will be watching over us and purring at the Bridge while he waits for all of us.

BabyCat

A furball of mischief,
But as sweet as could be,
BabyCat was always running,
Scurrying, and climbing the tree.

Close to Meowmie
She always stayed.
Licking and kneading,
And with toys she played.

A beautiful leader
Of CLAW kitties she became.
To help and love each one
Was her aim.

Never a “No”,
“I don’t have time.”
BabyCat was truly
A kitty sublime.

Chloee   21 June, 1990-1 July, 2000
Chloee with her kittens
Chloee was Lady Blue's sisfur and brought forth many wonderful Maine Coon cats for her Meowmie's cattery.  She was a furry sweet and loving kitty, and a wonderful Meowmie to her kittens.  She crossed the Rainbow Bridge in her Meowmie's arms after a short bout with pancreas problems.  She will be missed by all her sisfurs and brofurs, and especially by her Meowmie.

Studley
Studley   20 Sept. 1984-24 July, 2000
Our new furriend and Honorary Texan Studley crossed the Bridge and is missed so much by his sisfur Doodle and their Meowmie.  Be sure to click on his angel picture and see his website.  He was a furry special kitty with a lot of personality and a great graphics artist.  He was always ready to pitch in and help with graphics, and in fact fixed up our pictures on the pictures page.  We will miss mew Studley.  Doodle & Shirley have created a wonderfur tribute site.  Click here.
Back to Lone Star Felines
BabyCat was one of our Honorary Texans, along with all of The Kittens Milliken.  She was so warm and furriendly and made MGD & Spyder feel furry welcome when we joined her guilds at CLAW.  Lady Blue wrote the poem above about her furriend BabyCat, and that poem really says it all.  The Rainbow Bridge has a new resident today, and we know BabyCat is feeling fine now and meeting up with old furriends.  We will miss her so furry much.

Dusty   1 June, 1994-7 July, 2000
Dusty has been made an Honorary Texan posthumously and we are honored to have his memorial here.  Dusty was also a memfur of the Fat Is Fun Furternity, which MGD & Spyder also belong to.  We will always rememfur Dusty with his "Fud Guy" neckerchief.  He went to the Bridge much too soon, but he is with furriends there, and is watching over his Meowmie, brofur Levi and new sisfur to Levi, Maggie.  See Dusty's Memorial Page here.  We will miss mew, Dusty.

            "He Was Born Into A Troubled Way"

He was born into a troubled way. But he struggled and fought to live. And live he did.
Everyday was a new discovery for him. He found life was not fair and life was cruel. And yet he struggled more to prove that he had what it took to make life grand and good. His Meowmie helped him along with love and care and tender caresses. Those caresses began to help him walk and then to run.
     He discovered that life was indeed grand and good. He discovered a whole new world of furriends-of CLAW furriends. Furriends who were amazed at his stamina, his courage, and his strength. He joined with them and they let him into their hearts. He went through Kittengarten and received his precious red cap that made all of his new found furriends very proud. His Meowmie glowed with pride at her sweet boy and wondered what she ever did to deserve such a wonderful kitten. Finally, it looked like he was going to make it into a grown cat’s life. And his frurriends cheered and purred at his progress. 
             But sadly the Great Cat had other plans for little Sebastian.
“I love you, little one. And I want you home with me. I want you to rest upon my lap.”
This brave little kitten looked up into the Great Cat’s eyes, bowed his head and said that he was ready. He took one last glance at his furriends and his Meowmie , gave them all a farewell lick, and then with four good legs he scurried off to Rainbow Bridge.
           He is there now running,  playing, and chasing those birds and butterflies while he awaits his furriends. And when he grows tired, the Great Cat opens his paws and welcomes little Sebastian into his lap.
   “Sleep, my little one, for you have suffered enough. Put your head on my paw and rest and be weary no longer. I love you, for you are now my little Sebastian.”

By Rosemary, Lady Blue & The Hannon Kitties
Our favorite Honorary Texan, Sebastian, has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, and we want to honor him here.  Otis and Lady Blue and their Meowmies have written some wonderfur tributes, and we created the graphic to rememfur Sebastian.  Sebastian touched our hearts in such a special way, and we all cheered his accomplishments and purred for him during tough times.  We know mew are feeling good now and can run and play like a kitten should.  It is furry hard to say goodbye, so we say Au Revoir and Adios to our special furriend, and we will see mew when we go to Rainbow Bridge.  The Kittens Milliken have a wonderfur tribute page for Sebastian and mew can see it here.
