Once upon a time...


We are taking part in the Once Upon a Time Blog Hop hosted by Lady Shasta and Lord Shiloh. We have our paws crossed that one day our fairy tale will come true.

Once Upon a Time.............there was a lovely Tsarina named Artemisia, nicknamed Arty Mouse. She ruled over her kingdom with wisdom and kindness and all her subjects loved her a great deal. They were heartbroken when she disappeared.

But the lovely Tsarina had promised to go on a quest even before she was born and she had to keep her word, no matter how much she loved her family. She had many miles to walk and much to do. He quest was very dangerous but very important.

Her Mommy prayed everyday that Arty Mouse would come home. Many, many of Arty Mouse's friends tried to contact her, sometimes she talked to them and sometimes she didn't.  They would tell Mommy when they heard from her and that made Mommy feel much better.

 Her brother Prince Socks got very ill, their Mommy was very worried but Arty Mouse sent a message not to worry that Socks would be OK, and that he would still be alive when she came home. And sure  enough he got well, in fact he got much much better and even though he was a very old cat, he seemed to act like a young kitten again.

So the Mom and the family waited and waited for Arty Mouse to come home.


One day a doggie showed up and told Mommy that Arty Mouse sent her. She said her name was Annie Tuiren and that she needed a home.

Then the Yoga kittens arrived.

Fenris was happy to have a kitty friend again. Arty Mouse was his special friend and he missed her a lot.

Then Daddy found Chimera, her eyes hadn't even opened yet. But Mommy did a decent imitation of a Mommy cat and Chimera thrived.

Scylla was happy to have some company while she waited for her Best Friend Forever to come home.

And they all waited rather impatiently for Arty Mouse to come home......................

(and since this is a fairy tale) and when she did they lived happily ever after. ~The End

I never met Arty Mouse - Sparkle knew her - but I am sending lots of purrs for her to come home!

Katie Isabella said...

I remember her very well. She is a beautiful girl and hard to forget even for those of us who did not have the privilege of petting her. I know the pain of her having gone walking about and from that moment you told us she had gone away, I have still hoped and prayed she would return.
Your story was dear and went straight to my heart.. I have tears in my eyes just reading it. And as I said, I understand the sadness. Hugs and still hope that one day she will let you know what is needful for you to know.

This is a true story..well some of it is, and though we nevfur met Arty Mouse here, we sure hope one day she might get herself back home with her furmily who so miss and love her.

Sending tons of purrs and hugs. Maybe her mission as she walks far far away is to hunt out those whom she sends and has sent to you:)
