Remembering Friends
Today, we celebrate Rainbow Bridge Remembrance Day. Established in 2015 by Deb Barnes (The Chronicles of Zee and Zoey), this special day is for pet guardians to honor the memory of those beloved pets in their life they have lost but never forgotten. It’s held every year on August 28, in honor of the day Deb had to say goodbye to her Ragdoll cat, Mr. Jazz, the meow author of Purr Prints of the Heart – A Cat’s Tale of Life, Death, and Beyond.
In the past, we have remembered our family members who have received their wings and gone to the Rainbow Bridge.
This year, we are honoring our sweet Fiona who lost her battle with CKD on December 1. Instead of remembering all of the Kitties Blue angels, however, we are remembering our angel anipals with a special graphic.
So many of our anipals are as dear to our hearts as our own, and we miss them terribly. So, we decided to remember and honor them today. Kitties Blue and I know that many more friends have received their wings during this past year, but it was not possible to list all those here. If we have missed anyone who was especially dear to you, please accept our apologies.
These are the angels in our graphic, beginning in the upper left corner and continuing clockwise.

So many sweet angels…they are all precious and will always be loved and remembered.

So, so beautiful. Many purrs and prayers to you as you remember your gorgeous Angel Fiona, and all of the angels. Until we all meet again.
I love that graphic! Fiona is such a beautiful girl – every bit as much on the inside as the outside. She was the first kitty in the Blogosphere that I felt a special connection to for some reason. Some things can’t be put into words.
We’re sendin’ hugs and purrayers.
Luv ya’
Dezi and Raena
Dear Everyone,
thank you for including Queen Penelope in your Rainbow Bridge Remembrance. I bet her and Fiona had a great time reading all the blogs today.
Mommy has a quote on the fridge that she read to me while making our breakfast it says, “Some angles choose fur instead of wings”.
I believe you are surrounded by many angels!
Purrs Marvelous
What a wonderful graphic and memorial to all of the sweet Angels. Thank you for including Angels Ellie and Trooper.
The Florida Furkids with tons and tons of love and smoochies to Mau from Allie.
So, so beautiful. Many purrs and prayers to you as you remember your gorgeous Angel Fiona, and all of the angels. Until we all meet again.

This is a beautiful post remembering our angels. Thank you for including Snowball. XO
That is such a great picture of Fiona with all the other kitties around her. It is so good to remember all the fur babies we have lost. Great post.
That is a beautiful graphic and a wonderful way to remember the pals we’ve lost in the past year. Sending purrs & prayers of comfort to all who are feeling a loss today.
What a beautiful graphic with sweet Angel Fiona as the “centerpiece”……we all really did lose a lot of wonderful “babies” this past year and there will be a lot of memories shared today in their honor. Thanks for including Sammy in your poster……we are trying to keep the “happy” in our day because he really did make me SO VERY happy.
Love and Hugs,
Pam (and Ted too)
We’ve lost a lot of amazing pals, haven’t we? Purrs to all their humans today.
It is always sad when our loved ones pass away.
A beautiful remembrance. Today a photo of my cat Trinity, whom I lost to brain and lung cancer last November 9, came up in my Facebook feed. She was the sweetest cat, and I miss her so much.
