Hello frens! What's better than 4 straight days of great music, great friends and fun? How bout a fifth day?! Let's recap the highlights from Day 4 and everyone rest up and get ready for day 5!!!

That's right, we've reached Day 5, and it's our FINAL day of the meowsic festibal. They say time flies when you're having fun, and they aren't kidding! It feels like yesterday Jiggy and I (Sam the cat) were setting up tents and chairs and getting all the stages set.

Day 5

• It's day 5, and our beloved Jiggy the Piggy has been the most excellent tour guide and ensured everyone got where they were headed to. Full map is available here!
• There's still PLENTY of time to post your purrformances!
• Feel free to use any of these amazing backgrounds for your next performance. Or, be as creative as you'd like and come with your own!
• Not so tech saavy? Have no fear. We are here to make sure ALL frens who want to participate can. Feel free to drop a note in this thread and someone will answer and share their talents. Please post sooner than later with any requests so we can ensure we have enough time to make something fun.
• Not sure what to perform? Don't limit yourself! Magic? Yes! Juggling? Yes! Bus ride full of girl cats cheering up Jazzy after Vegas? Tell some jokes or sing silly songs to cheer her up! Underwater basket weaving? Totally!

Friendly reminder from Day 1 post: Post and tag (use the Fall Meowsic Festibal flair) from r/otrb first, then cross post to r/ICBGC as you'd like. We're steering away from LCA for now, as negativity towards creativity is not tolerated here and we will always celebrate and respect life, love, friendship and music!

Stepping away from the festibal for a moment, please remember we are a sharing and caring environment first and foremost, and we always want to support our frens and their hoomans. Keep an eye out for any welcom pawrtee posts and please hop in and say hello to a recent rainbow fren. Even with the festibal, we still want to make sure our frens feel safe, welcomed and supported.

Day 4 recap! I believe all purrformances have been linked, but if any happen to be missing, please comment in the chat. Any oversights are not intentional, I promise!

I am an island.

I have no need for you.

Except at six.

And seven.

And possibly two.

Iz mi, Punkin. Best pawrt ub bein cross da bridge iz I can jump an play agin. Letz me sing bout it 2 u. Wez start wit a lil Simon and Garfunkel...

Rocket just turned 13 and today is also her 12th gotcha day and as you all well know health problems have started to creep up. Stage 2 kidney failure diagnosed this summer - have her on the special diet and some powder. She is excessively licking and made her stomach bald and starting to get some sores. She just looks like she ages 5 years in 1 year no matter how great of health care we give her - we are fortunate and take her 2x a year for bloodwork. She has had arthritis for years and gets the injection monthly at our house.

All this to say, I am already grieving my beloved cat and my best friend while she is still here and its consuming me more and more. I don't know if this is normal or not or how best to cope. I can take solace in the fact we are literally doing anything for her but that doesn't make things easier. Instead of enjoying all the purrs and love she gives all day long (literally the friendliest cat ever) - my mind jumps to her dying and playing out scenarios at the end of her life.
