Elvira Mistress of Felinity, here.
It is with a very heavy heart that I come to you, this evening.
Sneakers the Texian Tuxedo, Friday the Bearded Lady, and I returned to blogging, after a year, earlier today ( One Moment, Please....a Looong Moment )...
then Daddy Kiril broke some news to us, news that hit Sneakers and I very hard.
Our dear friend, Jan Price, the human member of the legendary blogging team of critters known, far and wide, as the Funny Farmers...
had gone to Rainbow Bridge.
Due to health issues she and the critters had not blogged much last year, the last time to share the news of the passing of Mr. Percy, at 15.
The Cat Blogosphere broke the sad news, this morning.
The Tribute Wall of her Obituary Page is proof of the impact of this human on the Pet Blogosphere.
Miss Jan meant a lot to The Opinionated Pussycat Blog, even before there WAS a blog.
She and the Funny Farmers encouraged our founder, Mr. Sneakers, as he moved on from blogging on the blog of Daddy Kiril, to opening this blog in Jan. 2010.
She also encouraged Daddy in his own blogging efforts.
She left 108 comments, over the years, on Mad Macedonian, and 204 comments on this blog, thru the end of 2017, and continued to share thoughts with us, and Daddy, on Facebook, and e-mail, into last year.
We are especially grateful to her for the honor she and the Funny Farmer Felines bestowed on us in February 2014:
They interviewed Sneakers and I for a profile on Mousebreath, the award-winning lifestyle magazine for Cats and Cat lovers!

Interviews like this were held with many cat bloggers, over the years, helping to introduce the world to some of the denizens of one of the oldest creative communities in the blogosphere.
The Funny Farmer blog, in its heyday, was one of the best out there, and added so much to the world of pet blogging.
We send our purrs and purrayers to the Funny Farmers, and to the human family of Mama Jan.
Let me end by saying that it is my belief that our Nikita was among hundreds of other critters joining the Funny Farmers Percy, Cyndi, Rusty and Merci, as they welcomed Mama Jan into their loving embrace.
That must have been some event.
I was heartbroken when I had to post about Jan on the Cat Blogosphere today and I still am. She was a very special friend to so many of us. We'll miss her greatly. Take care of yourself Kiril, stay safe, healthy and virus-free.

We, too, were devastated to read of Jan's passing. She was a true and wonderful friend to so many of us, and we will miss her so much.
Stay safe and healthy, dear friends.
