Bonnie Underfoot showed signs of feeling ill early Thursday morning and was rushed to the emergency vet, where her heart stopped a little after noon. The vet used CPR and brought her back once, but the second time her heart stopped, nothing worked. This is devastating news. Bonnie and Victor have been blogging since December 2005 and are well known and loved all over the Cat Blogosphere. Theirs was one of the first cat blogs I started reading when I discovered cat blogs a couple of years ago. I always adored her feistiness. She was the inspiration for the Attack Tabbies club. She loved her Man and tolerated the Woman and the Boy, but she never got used to having Victor around. Sitting in boxes was one of her favorite things and she won the Silver Medal in box sitting in the Cat Olympics. I found Bonnie quite inspirational and wrote two limericks for her, which can be found here and here. I am really going to miss her. My deepest condolences to her family and especially to Victor, who always wanted her to like him.
Bonnie Underfoot has left us behind,
But we will always keep her in mind.
We love her dearly;
Our hearts are nearly
Broken to pieces 'cause she left us behind.

Wonderful limerick in memory of Bonnie. We are so sad to hear she has gone to the Bridge.
Sometimes the bestest of us furrys and non furrys go to the bridge too soon. I's only hope that every furry one knows how much those furrys loveds us while they were here.
Beautiful limerick, Karen Jo.
Even though you are feeling blue yourself, to come out and do these wonderful tribute limericks the last few days is a real testament to what a spectacular, caring, loving person you are!

Bonnie reminded Jan of her Jenny, who spent years demanding to be an only cat!
But she mellowed in her later years and we're glad we all, except Rusty and Samartian. had time to know her.
Bonnie will be missed.
May she find her way to the rainbow bridge. May her friends and family, those who loved her find peace.
Very nice limerick in remembrance of Bonnie.

Karen Jo, I only just saw this lovely tribute. Thank you so much! She's been gone a week today and we miss her terribly. I didn't know how much she contributed to the CB until she was gone.
Last weekend, Bonnie was in her cuddler when Victor popped up and touched noses. For once, she didn't growl or hiss, but touched noses with him. I was blown away.
Thank you. Big (((((HUGS)))))
Thank you, that was extremely valuable and interesting...I will be back again to read more on this topic.

Just how much can a provider legally charge to allow an insurance policy holder out of his car insurance?
Just how much does your agency cost when an individual needs to terminate and how much pressure can you use to maintain them?
What are some ideas or something like that we can say if our consumer has many months still left on his existing automotive policy? Surely, we are not going to wait until his renewal comes due every time.
