Friday at the Movies: Remembering Sweet Praline

Three years ago, today, our sister-before-us, Sweet Praline was helped to the bridge due to cancer.  Many of you remember the "Diva of the CB" as she was fondly known, but we wanted to share her with our new furriends.

Sweet Praline was a Himalayan/Red Persian.  Her registered name was Miss Paula's Sweet Praline and she was 15 1/2 years old when she left for the bridge.  Mom Paula said it would be easy to focus on the day she left, but she would rather focus on the happy memories.  Sweet Praline was almost 13 years old when she started blogging in 2008.  She never really acted her age until those last couple of months and would play like a kitten.  Sweet Praline didn't like catnip in her early years, but fell in love with the catnip, valerian root, and honeysuckle mice in her later years.  We thought we'd share a video of a senior ladycat enjoying her nip for today's movie. 

Sweet Praline will always be remembered with love and a smile.  When the pet psychic, Nancy, talked to Mom Paula a couple of months ago, she said Sweet Praline was still around and guiding Truffle and Brulee. Mom Paula asked if Sweet Praline talked to either of us and Nancy said she talked to Truffle all the time. We hope each of you will smile a little today as you watch Sweet Praline playing like there was no tomorrow.  

We miss you, Sweet Praline!
