Hope is the thing...
Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.
- Emily Dickinson

The Cat Blogosphere spent the 2007 Labor day weekend remembering our lost furriends. Thank you Kashim and Othello for hosting this weekend of silence and remembrance. We have thought again about Baby, the one before me, Mom posted a remembrance on our blog in the past. Our hearts go out to all who have lost a loved family member recently.
I've put together a Cat Blogosphere Wall of Remembrance. Names on the wall came from Jack's Farewell Friends Friday and Sophia's In Memorium postings on the Cat Blogosphere, Kashim and Othello's list, plus anything I picked up in my blogosphere roamings. Like the wall in DC, names are arranged in chronological order when I could figure them out. If you want a name added, or know the month of a name, send me an email at tarameezerATaolDOTcom (replace the AT with @ and DOT with . and squish all together) and I'll update. Panels can be added as needed. Leave a comment of remembrance if you wish.

How wonderful to have a Remembrance Wall! Too many cats left us and August was just not a good month! But they will all be remembered and always loved!
