Caturday Art
One year ago today, our wonderful Mauricio (Mau) became an angel and flew off to the Rainbow Bridge. He hadn’t been himself for a couple of weeks, but the vet could not find anything wrong with him.
Through the years, Dad Tom and I have lived with many terrific cats, but none was like Mau. He was a character and loved to tell us stories and just jabber, especially when carrying a toy in his mouth. Mau was always a happy cat. He loved his beautiful and sweet wife Allie as well as all humans and his fursibs.
When Mau passed, a light went out. Our home was too quiet and our hearts hurting.
When we adopted Kizmet in December, she brought some of the spark back; though, not one day goes by when we don’t think of or talk about our Mau.
To celebrate and remember Mau as well as help out Kizmet in her quest to win the Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Superheroes Sidekick Calendar Contest, we are having a comment-a-thon. I will donate $1 for every comment on today’s post (made prior to Monday the 19th at 5 p.m. ET) in order to add votes to Kizmet’s pursuit. She is currently in third place.
Mau is participating in Athena Cat Goddess Wise Kitty’s Caturday Art blog hop. If you’d like to do the same, click on Athena’s badge.
Sunday Selfies Reminder
We will be having our blog hop tomorrow, and all the Kitties Blue have their paws crossed that you will join in the fun. All anipals are welcome regardless of species. This is a great place to meet and make new friends whether furred, finned or feathered.
Tomorrow we also will be remembering two friends who recently gained their angel wings: Clooney (Clooney’s Num Num Fund) and Finley Rose (Lone Star Cats).
Mau was the first cat that I have ever connected with. He understood me and tolerated my clumsy attempts at petting and affection. I never tired of his talking, all were sweet whispers to my ears. I can only say that Mau left me a better person for having known him. Your warm and welcoming home gave him the best life any cat could hope for. 💕
Such a beautiful tribute to Mau. Losing our precious babies never gets any easier.
We miss Mau too. Leaving our comment so you can get another dollar. Big hugs

Beautiful tribute to Mau. Purrs and hugs
I can’t believe it has been a year since you went away my friend. I remember when my mom and I found out you had gone we cried and hugged each other for The longest time. You were my first friend at Cat Scout and you introduced me to you gorgeous sisfur Ms Lisbeth. You and I will celebrate in the stars this weekend. Hugs to your family anAngel kisses to my love Ms Lisbeth.
Fun contest for the Helen Woodward Center. I hope Kizmet does well in the contest – at least well enough to get in the calendar. We’ll pop over and cast a few votes.
Lovely tribute to beautiful Mau xx
Wonderful pictures of Mau. Still praying for Sawyer. Good luck Kizmet! I will vote for you again. I followed Finley and gang for awhile. Her parting is sad – as all are.
Continued prayers for Sawyer and good luck to Kizmet 😻

I will never forget your cute and sweet face. I could tell in every post that your family loved you and that you were special. You are missed and, if you see Sawyer wandering about outside down here below, direct him back home please. He is missed by so any.
We often think of Mau, Cat Scouts just isn’t the same without him. Sending comforting purrs and paws of love.
Sending you many purrs as you remember sweet Mau today. I’m hoping he will guide Sawyer back home to you. ~Ernie
A year has passed already dear Mauricio. You were the glue in the friendships within your family as I was in mine. You were one of the first to give me a big head bump when I came to the Bridge and tell me it would be alright and when you stepped aside I was all the great Scouts and friends you brought along. Oh Mau you are dearly missed by your family and by ours. Comment-a-thons are a wonderful way to pass the love onto others in our name. You are a very special fellow and live deep in all our heart!

Sending you hugs as you remember your sweet boy . XO
While all the kitties and pups are special, there is often one who stands out and is never far from your thoughts and heart, even after they’re gone. Mau was one of those.
He was a handsome guy. We sure miss him at scouts. Sending more prayers for Sawyer.

It’s really hard to believe it’s been a year. Such a special and sweet guy. Hugs from all of us.
Sending hugs and purrs today for all your family for Sawyer. Angel Mau was quite the gentleman always so formally dressed for sure the James Bond of the Feline world
Hugs Cecilia
Mom Janet, Dad Tom and Kitties Blue,
It is so wonderful to see this tribute to my handsome husband. He misses you as much as you miss him. We watch over you from the Bridge all the time. We have each other as well as lots of friends to comfort us when we get too homesick.
All of us at the Bridge are purring and praying for Sawyer’s safe return.
Love,
Angel Allie
A loving tribute to Mau, whom I remember and love too. Our babies are cherished and terribly missed when they travel on to the Rainbow Bridge. They are unique and firmly in our hearts forever.
What a beautiful tribute to Mau on this sad anniversary. We know what a hole it leaves in your heart when you lose a furbaby. Our hearts go out to you.
That is a lovely tribute to Mau. He will always be loved and missed.
Dear, sweet Mau. One of the best friends Angel Sammy ever had and a friend who welcomed Teddy after Sam left us with open paws. Mau was a friend to all – and an extraordinarily sweet boy who left a permanent hole in his family when he flew off to the Bridge. We understand that – totally. Love seeing the photos of darling Mau and remembering the fun at Scouts he and Sam had. Life of course moves on but in our hearts there is a place that will never be filled no matter WHAT. It would be a wonderful thing if Sawyer would come back home to bring some comfort to his family on this occasion and we will hope for that……..
Love, Pam and Teddy
Mau sweet Mau, always remembered 💞♾
Purrs to you as you remember Mau.
We remember Mau, with love in our hearts. They are never really gone, are they – our angels? They are always there, just around the corner, waiting, watching over us. They know, as do we, that the day will come when we will all be together again.
This is a wonderful tribute to your precious Angel Mau.
We sure hope Kizmet will gain enough votes to win!!
It was so sad to have more angels leaving…we didn’t ‘know’ Clooney, but we have known Finley since 2009…they both will be very missed.
A loving remembrance for sweet Mau. Wonderful photos of Mau and his fursibs. He’s a special kitty loved by all of us.
Best wishes for cutie Kizmet !
