Hey It’s Jet Here.
Before we begin our post, we have sad news to share. Yesterday, unexpectedly, my remaining feline brother, Puffy, crossed Over the Rainbow Bridge. We will post a proper tribute on Thursday. Mom did that text thingie as she left Dr. Schaffer’s to Miss Linda, Savannah’s (my BFF – best feline friend) Mom. Within half a day, Miss Linda told Miss Ann from Zoolatry, who made a beautiful badge and some of our blogville friends were already sending their thoughtful condolences. Talk about the Power of the Paw! (POTP) Thank you so much for wrapping your virtual arms around us.
Puffy and Fluffy gave their paws of approval this year when Mom, wearing her Kitchen Counselor hat, submitted a recipe to Miss Sharon from Good Mews. Good Mews is a 24 year old no kill, cage free feline shelter in Atlanta. The cookbook contains 300 recipes from volunteers and supporters. The cost is $16, click here to purchase a cool holiday gift which helps felines find forever homes.
We remain inspired by the blogville connections that arise from posting and the kindness and good that gets done.
Another great let’s help some felines, day.
Thanks to Sugar and Kol for initiating Tasty Tuesdays, today is our thirty-fourth participating post!
Hey... It's Jet Here 
I could not like post as I felt very sad :-(. Thoughts with family xxx
Hey Archie, Hey Henry, Hey Oscar, Jet here
Totally understand, thank you for your sympathy.
We are so sorry to hear about Puffy. Miss Ann’s badge is beautiful 🙂 That book looks great 🙂 Thinking of you all xx00xx
Mollie and Alfie
Hey Mollie, Hey Alfie, Jetty here.
Thanks guys. (Mom’s NJ term of endearment.) Aww, thanks on Miss Ann’s behalf… we though so too.
We hope Good Mews sells lots!
Thinking of you as well. xoxoxo
We sure are so sorry to hear about Puffy. It is so darn sad to lost a fur friend. Big hugs coming your way.
That cook book is such a good idea. Hope a lot of copies sell to help those animals in the shelter.
Take care
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Marg.
Thanks for taking the time to send big hugs, they sure feel warm and cozy.
We do too… love when it’s a win-win situation! 🙂
Hi sweet Jetty – so sorry to hear about Puffy – I know your Mom gave him a wonderful life full of love and kindess – I think he truly just needed to be with Fluffy at the Bridge. sending big hugs to your family xoxoxo
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Wendy.
Thanks for your compassionate call to Mom last night. Sorry I was busy wrestling Little Miss Chewminator!
We think the same in our hearts… they were litter mates and had that special connection.
Love your hugs, Miss Wendy… thank you xoxoxo
Aw Jet I’m so sorry you lost your BFF.sending you lots of *healingsnoogles* and (((hugs))) to help you feel better…Looks like it’s a good day for cookbooks…my Mom wrote about one today too…Take care my furriend
Hey Giz, Jet here. Hi Miss JG.
Thanks for your healingsnoogles and hugs, they help a lot.
Great kitchen minds… 🙂
Mom and I are so sorry to hear about Puffy. It must be an odd feeling to go from 2 cats to being catless. Mom can’t imagine it having had at least one cat in her home since she was 7, I am not sure how I feel being a dog. At least the two are together again, maybe Puffy was just heart broken? Big paw hugs to you and your mom.
Hey Emma, Jet here. Hi Katie.
Yes, this morning was weird… Mom secured the cat door on our gate realizing we didn’t have to watch our tails anymore. Mom realilzed she has shared her homes with felines for the last 30 years with 3 years of exceptions. 😦
You are wise to think that Puffy and Fluffy needed to be together, we quite agree. Thanks for the hugs. xoxoxo
Maybe you guys can adopt a cat or two that need a home – that is what mom usually does. Just can’t be without cats.
Hey Emma, Jet here. Hi Katie.
Mom would contemplate (VBP) that idea except we have a bunch of things in this place called (flux – VBP) so, we need to put this in the later pile.
We’re so sorry to read about Puffy’s unexpected flight to the Rainbow Bridge. We know he’ll be greeted lovingly upon his arrival.
Hey Whisppy, Jet here.
Sorry we have to meet under these circumstances. Thank you for taking the time to write such comforting words to us. We know our brother, Fluffy will be waiting for him to help him cross. This gives us great comfort.
I came to say sorry your sweet kitty had to leave for the bridge and send love, hugs and purrs.. GJ x
Hey Ginger Jasper, Jet here.
Thank you so much for taking the time to send love, hugs and purrs, we accept them with gratitude. 🙂
oh gosh i’m sorry, that is very sad news. that cookbook sounds huge, with 300 recipes? the typical pet cookbook doesn’t even have half that amount, sounds very interesting!
♥ yuki and rocket
Hey Yuki, Hey Rocket, Jet here.
Thank you for your condolences.
I believe the cookbook is for human food…
Jet, JJ and Miss Lori,
I was so sorry and shocked to hear of Puffy’s passing. I feel like I knew him thanks to you, I loved seeing that picture of him drinking from the sink. Fluffy will be happy to see him again and take good care of him.
Your job Jet is to take good care of your Mom buddy, give her lots of extra loves from us.
Your pal Snoopy (and Mum)
Hey Snoopy, Jet here. Hi Miss Annette.
So sorry we are just responding to your kind words on Puffy’s passing now. We have been woefully behind in comments. Yes, we really believe that they needed to be reunited, even if it meant over the Rainbow Bridge.
Oh, I do take care of Mom, promise! 🙂
Sorry to hear about Puffy. 😦
Hugs and licks to cheer you up. And what a lovely badge!
Hey Blueberry, Jet here.
Thanks for sending the licks and hugs, we feel comforted already.
We agree, Miss Ann is so thoughtful. 🙂
Hey Big Guy, JJ and Miss Lori, you already know how Mom and I feel. Wrapping arms and paws around you all, Savvy
Hey Savvy, Big Guy here. HI Miss Linda.
Oh yes, we felt them ever since the ladies spoke. Thank you so much… for the badge, for your support, and for being in our lives. 🙂
Sending Jetty kisses, JJ hugs and lovies from Mom.
Lori, Rachael, Jets and JJ. I am so sorry to hear about Puffy. Losing two is such a short time must be so hard. Our thoughts are with you. Hugs. Rebecca, Jack and Ginger
Poem For Cats
Author unknown
And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don’t they understand? asked God
That you’ll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is….forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am….forever and ever and ever.
Hey Jack, Hey Ginger, Jets here. Hi Miss Rebecca.
Mom’s got some water in her eyes after reading your beautiful poem, which resonates perfectly.
Thanks for sharing such meaningful thoughts and comforting words.
Words just never seem to be enough when you lose someone you love. So sorry for your loss.
Hey Ogee, Jet here.
Thank you for taking the time to share comforting words. We hope to get to know you better under happier circumstances. 🙂
That sounds wonderful, Jet! Looking forward to it.
Hey Ogee, Jet here.
Sorry we’re responding so late, we’ve been digging out of our comment backlog!
Ditto, Jet. Way behind on my reading and posting. Thanks for catching up with us!
Hey Ogee, Jet here.
Thanks for understanding… 🙂
I’m so sorry to be hearing about Puffy. He’ll always be in your heart and your memories will always be with you.
Hey Amber and the Pack, Jet here.
Amber, I know you and your family know only too well what we’re feeling today. Thank you for your soothing words.
We just heard about Puffy. It’s always hard to lose a friend. May the memories of love outweigh the grief of loss.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde & their Feeders
Hey TMNKH, Jet here. Hi Feeders!
What a profound saying, would you mind if we share that with others at their time of loss? Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. Hopefully we can get to know you better under happier circumstances. 🙂
Not at all! We first started using it years ago and like it so much we have it as a card on our cafepress store. It stems from what what mom’s grandparents taught her as a little girl. Death is part of life, but we’ll all be together later in heaven. Until then, the memories of the love we share helps those of us left behind to wait. And mom found that to be true. You’re still sad, but if you focus on the love, it makes things easier, day by day.
Hey it’s Jet here.
Thank you, we continue to appreciate your beautiful words regarding the circle of life… thanks for writing back. 🙂
oh NOES, Jetty! We so very very sorry about Puffy. We’re sendnig out purrs to you & your mom today….
Hey FaRaDaY, Hey Maxwell, Hey Allie, Jet here.
Thanks so much for your kind words of love and support. Please forgive our deep delay in responding to your comment.
We heard from the Zoolatry girls that Puffy has passed on to Rainbow Bridge. We are so sorry to hear this and hope your memories of him will bring you comfort.
Hey Team Tabby, Jet here.
Please forgive our extreme delay in thanking you for sending such kind words of comfort on the passing of our feline brother,Puffy. We’re adjusting to a house without felines.
Jet, Kirby and mom,
just want to say we aren’t to good at explaining ourselves all the time in times like this,to ones we care about. But we just want you to know, we care and are here, and are so glad you have so many good blog friends on here to help you along this way. You are truly a great, kind, and caring dog Jet- your ma’s not too bad either 😉
I am so sorry for your loss, but I know if she was friends with you Jet she must have been a good cat, and without a doubt is perched happily atop a special cloud, made of the softest yarn, and filled with catnip, playing and making new friends. Wishing you lots of healing thoughts and prayers! “We lovez you Jetty!”
*I meant he sorry Jet, it kept auto-correcting
Hey Kirby, Jet here.
No worries, Little Dude. 🙂
Hey Kirby, Jetty here.
Dude, you are the kindest of friends, taking the time to write words of comfort and support. We feel so blessed to have made such sweet connections as we have with you.

Oh no! Awwww I am so sorry. Goodbye, beautiful Puffy.
This is so sad… Sending you lots and lots and lots of purrs

Hey Nellie, Hey Kozmo, Hey Bob, Hey Cinnamon, Jet here. Hi Mommy.

Hey Cody, Hey Dakota, Jet here. Hi Miss Caren.
Thank you for your kinds words and prayers. Sorry we are so woefully behind with our comments, we’re finally digging out.
Hi Jet – we were so sad to read about Puffy. The acd6pack knows about how much love cats bring to a home. We don’t mention them much, but we have two. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time.
Hey ACD6pack, Jet here.
Please forgive our bad manners, we’ve been digging out of our comment backup!
Really? We didn’t know you had 2 felines. Thank you for your kind words of support and understanding. 🙂
So, so sorry about Puffy! Sending hugs! Woofs from Jeffie and Rudy and meows from Skeeter.
Hey Rudy, Hey Jeffie, Hey Skeeter, Jet here. Hi Miss Sue.

We are so sorry to hear about Puffy’s passing. That is a beautiful badge Ann made.
Hey Fred, Hey Gloria, Jet here. Hi Miss Janet.
Thank you for sending your support. I know, she’s so talented. Miss Linda, from Savannah’s Paw tracks is so thoughtful to have alerted Miss Ann.
We are so sorry to hear about dear Puffy. We all send you lots of hugs.
Hey Brian, Jet here.
Thanks so much, we accept the hugs with deep gratitude.
Hi Jet, How cool that Savannah is your BFF, her and Scylla are very close and we all just love her here. That cookbook looks purrfectly delightful and we will have to try to buy Mom one for Christmas (she can use all the help she can get in the kitchen). We will be back Thursday to read Puffy’s tribute. Mommy says that they always live in your memories and that if you are really lucky sometimes they come back to visit you when you are half asleep. ~Fenris
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Alasandra, etc…
Really? Did you meet Savannah in blogville, too?
Listen, Fenris, I’ll give you a tip, Mom’s the Kitchen Counselor and consults via technology (shocking but true!) and has a free newsletter and FB if Mom has any questions. We think we might buy the book for Mom for Hannukah!!!
Mom says the same thing about visiting when 1/2 sleeping… 🙂
Sending thank you Jetty kisses and JJ hugs.
We’re so sorry for the loss of your dear Puffy.
Nubbin wiggles & hugs,
Oskar & Pam
Hey Oskar, Jet here. Hi Miss Pam.
Thank you for taking the time to express your comforting words. We love receiving nubbin wiggles and hugs from you guys. (Mom’s NJ term of endearment.)
I’m so sorry to hear about Puffy. I’ll be thinking of you.
Hey Clowie, Jet here.
Thanks, we deeply appreciate your comforting thoughts.
So sorry to hear about feline brother
Benny & Lily
Hey Benny, Hey Lily, Jet here.
Thanks guys. (Mom’s NJ term of endearment.)
So sorry to hear your sad news xx
Hey Misaki, Jet here.
Yeah, it was a bummer. Thanks for sending your thoughtful comment.

Hey Chancy, Jet here. Hi Miss Mag.
Thanks for sending thoughts, prayers and nose kisses, they mean the world to us.
We are visiting from Alasandra’s blog. We are so sorry to hear about Puffy. Run happy and free at The Bridge, Puffy.
Hey Sissy, it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Jenna.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and express your kind words of comfort. We like the image you wrote about running happy and free. 🙂
I am so, so sorry to read your news about your precious Puffy. I so hope you are finding comfort in your memories of your life together that can never be taken away and in knowing that you’ll see Puffy again one day–And what a beautiful and amazing day that will be…
Hey Golden Pines Gang, Jet here. Hi Miss Kim.
Thank you for sharing such beautiful sentiments regarding our boy. Mom always tells us (and others) to keep your memories in a pocket on your heart. So, that’s what we’re doing.
Woof! Woof! So sorry to hear about Puffy. Sending you Lots of Golden HUGS. Will check out the cookbook. Happy Tasty Tuesday. Lots of Golden Woofs, Sugar
Hey Sugar, Jet here.
Thanks for sending golden hugs, we love those at Casa Jetty!
Yippee, let us know what you think of the book. 🙂 Cooking and food always make us feel better.
So sorry for your lost. Bless Puffy.
Hey Maggie, Jet here.
You are so kind to take the time to send comfort and support, thanks Maggie.
So sorry.
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Bernadette.
Please forgive our bad manners, we became woefully behind in our comment box. Thank you for your sympathy. 🙂
Sorry for your lost, Jet.
Hey HIro, Hey Suki, Jet here. Hi Miss Dianda.
Sorry we’re so late in thanking your for your words of condolence. We appreciate you taking the time.
It’s okay, Jet. 🙂 I hope you are all feeling better! Tho, the feeling of losing someone never leaves, doesn’t it?
Hey Hiro, Hey Suki, Jet here. Hi Miss Dianda.
We’re getting there. JJ and I have healed faster than Mom… she occasionally goes to feed Puffy, or finds some fur on something… it’s weird not having felines in the house anymore. 😦
We’re so very sorry that Puffy has crossed the Bridge to be with Fluffy. We’d like to include Puffy in the November issue of Our Rainbow Friends, if you don’t mind. Would you be so kind as to email us with Puffy’s age or date of birth to include in his memorial? And if you have a favorite photo of him you’d like us to use, please attach it. Or we can use Ann’s memorial badge, if you prefer. Thanks for allowing us to honor Puffy.
Hey it’s Jet here.
OMD, we’re just reading this and the page has turned to December. You are simply so very kind. We will email in a moment…
We are so sorry to hear about sweet Puffy 😥 Sending our hugs and purrs of comfort your way.
Hey Sherlock, Hey Ash, Hey Traveler, Jet here.
Thank you for sending so much love our way this week, we really appreciate it. When we saw that you posted Puffy’s badge on your blog, we were stunned and deeply moved. 🙂
The Producer’s been away for a couple of days so I’ve only just seen this. So sad, thinking of you all.
Hey PZ, Jet here. Hi Raffles.
No worries, we appreciate your kind and thoughtful words… they really help lift our spirits. 🙂
Pingback: Follow Up Friday – The Puffster Edition | Hey… It's Jet Here
I’ve had a hard time keeping up with blog news b/c I’m out of town but I just saw this today and I’m really sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to lose a friend.
Hey Boomer, Hey Dottie, Jet here. Hi Miss Emily.
No worries, we know you’re there for us. (Is this your Best Friends time?) No, it’s not easy, however, with the loving arms surrounding us from Blogville, it sure is a lot easier.
Yes, I am at Best Friends right now. I was able to catch up on reading blogs over the weekend. Again, I’m very sorry.
Hey Boomer, Hey Dottie, Jet here. Hi Miss Emily.
Lucky, lucky you. We wish you the most fulfilling visit. No worries, perhaps you can say a little something for Puffy at Angel’s (Mom forgot the second word of their resting place…)
Angel’s Rest, and I’ll be there later this morning. I’ll say a little something for Puffy.
He Boomer, Hey Dottie, Jet here. Hi Miss Emily.
Oh thank you for helping Mom with the name and thank you for doing that for us. Sending Jetty kisses and JJ hugs of appreciation.
It’s the least I can do for you. It was a really nice day here in Kanab and it was very peaceful at Angel’s Rest.
Hey it’s Jet here. Hi Miss Emily.
Well, it means a lot, thank you again. 🙂
What a beautiful experience, we’re soooo happy for you.
Thanks! 🙂
most welcome.
