More sadness in The Cat Blogosphere this week. Cats of Wildcat Woods (http://wildcatwoodscats.blogspot.com/ ) said good-bye to their sweet Ivy.
![Ivy, Forever [Small]](https://i0.wp.com/15andmeowing.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Ivy-Forever-Small.png?ssl=1)
She was an inspiration to FIV cats everywhere, surviving for 17 years.
This week’s ROAR isn’t actually about cats, but I thought some of you may be interested. A while back, I told you about couponsfortroops: https://15andmeowing.com/2014/11/roar-coupons-troops/
It is a group anyone can join to send coupons to American service families that are stationed overseas. That group closed and a new one has taken over: http://www.couponsformilitaryfamilies.com/ . For the cost of a U.S. stamp, you can mail coupons to a family overseas. I always mail pet food ones as well as food and household products. All you need to do is go to the website and fill out a simple form, after that, they will send you the address of a family.
Congratulations to Pipo and Minko (http://webeessiamese.blogspot.com/ ) for being the first to get all 6 answers correct on the toxic/non-toxic plant quiz. They won a catnip ice cream cone and a chicken leg.
Phoebe will be here tomorrow with a new poem and photo of her purrince.
I am sure that those coupons are appreciated. Many military families are pet owners, too. Great idea.
What a great idea to send coupons to those families.
Sorry about sweet Ivy. She seemed a lovely kitty, we did not know her. But it’s still sad whenevfur we hear about new angels…
We are looking forward to a picnic with ‘chicken’ and ‘ice cream’! Thank mew so much!
It is always sad to see kitties go to the Bridge. I didn’t get to make the chicken leg yet, but I will today and your prizes will go out tomorrow- I will even throw in a fish :)-the catnip kind, the real thing would really stink-MOL!
Concatulations to Pipo and Minko! I’ll have to visit yesterday’s post and see their answers!
They knew them all- but, you knew the only one a kitty needs to know 🙂
So sorry about Ivy. Sometimes we do lose our best friends and we miss them until we them again!!
It is sad when a kitty ( or pup or person) passes.
We were so sorry to hear about Ivy. She was beautiful.
She was beautiful, I am sure her family feels awful.
We were so very sad to hear about dear Ivy.
We were sad too, there is just too much sadness in the blogosphere.
I am very sad about Ivy.
Concats to Pipo and Minko.
I am sure you knew her for a very long time. Sorry Flynn, it is always hard to lose a friend.
What a great way to help a military family!
We were very sorry to hear about Ivy. Too much sadness.
We agree, too much sadness.

Thank you- hope you have a great day too!
Aw what a pretty kitty Ivy was. So very heartbreaking to loose them :/ We have an FIV kitty here as well who is now 8 I believe.
Ivy was a beautiful cat. I’m very sorry for her family. I guess 17 is a good age for a FIV cat, but it never easy to say goodbye.
Do you know it’s snowing on your blog? Kind of refreshing on a very hot day!
xxoo
We’re so sad that Ivy had to go to the Bridge. Her mom and dad loved her so much, and we are sending lots of purrs and prayers their way.
Those coupons for military families sound awesome. What a great thing to do.
ConCATS to Pipo and Minko!
Thanks for this coupon info. Mom says that she is going to start doing that. It sounds like an easy way to help out our troops. Concats to Pipo and Minko. We know Mom Ellen makes great toys! XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
I am so happy to hear that your Mom is going to do the coupons 🙂 It is a nice way to give back for all the military does for us. And thank you for the compliment on my toy making 🙂
Reading about Ivy’s passing brought me right back to Truffles’ final hours…they were both lost to a blood clot. So heartbreaking.
