I two months ago lost my cat, Augustus. He was a wonderful pet that we shamelessly spoiled. The profound sadness has dropped away and now the Hubby and I have had fun remembering all the good stuff about having our boy around to entertain us.

It was just a few days ago, my eye was caught by a headline that read “Lynx look to top pick Augustus for leadership.” WOW! I always knew that kitty was destined for greatness! He definitely demonstrated his leadership skills in his ability to hurry us to the treats or to the food bowl each morning to fill it for HRH’s royal dining pleasure. I quickly clicked on the article. Eventhough I knew it was not about our boy, I was still a bit disappointed to find that it was not about my Augustus at all… instead it was about an LSU Lady Tiger baskeball player going to the WNBA.

It was about that time I got notice that a friend of mine was starting her own jewelry business, DanaRuth Designs, and one of her lines was going to be pet jewelry. I couldn’t help but think about how a little Crown for Augustus’ collar would have been his “Cat’s Meow”. (I know she calls them Princess, but I wouldn’t have told my very manly cat that).
