aww...I'm sorry Tani....I just lost my Cat, Fen about a week ago =(

*offers a hug* I am sorry to hear that. :(
Maybe they meet wherever they are now...

She was my lil Black Fenway...dorky name i know, but I always called her Fen....she was an inside cat, but she got out one day. She came back the next night but another day later she attacked me when I tried to pet her. I took her to the vet and she had gotten Rabies....

i'm so sorry Tani i know how you feel
my dog died just a few hours ago and i'm so sad i just can't stop i have cried so much...


would you mind if i take The Rainbow Bridge for a spanish translation?
i hope my little dog there's too

Wow, so many recently, my cat passed this last Sunday because of a heart disease we found... it was horrible, I'm still torn up about it.
Sorry for yours, and Tani's as well... She (my cat) was like my best friend.

I'm sorry for your loss -=(

-hugs-

*hugs* I'm sorry as well. It's tough losing such a close friend.

I'm so sorry... At least you got some final time together, time to say goodbye, but that doesn't make it any easier when they're gone. I went through that a couple of years ago but reading about yours makes it feel like it just happened yesterday, and The Rainbow Bridge made me cry. Thank you for sharing that, and best wishes to you.

It's hard but you know we will see our loved ones someday.

Here's Love for you Tani. <3

Hope you feel better soon.

i know how it's like dude. i know how it's like.

Sorry for your loss. *pats on shoulder*

You both were given a brief moment to be together beyond what anyone could have dreamt possible. Those days were wonderful. They will always be remembered, by you, and by all of us who were here and hoped for the best.

My sympathies.

*hugs*

Im sorry to hear that. I know how hard it is to lose something you love so much. I lost my dog over two years ago and it still hurts..

Best wishes to you through these times of triuble

trouble*

Eh... i'm so sorry :C

My condolences, Tani...

That was... beautiful.

My condolences. *hugs*

I lost a cat a few years back and I miss her so much. I can't wait to see my Turnip again when I get to the Rainbow Bridge

I know full well the hurt you're feeling. One of my own cats suffered a tragic end just before Halloween. The loss of a beloved animal companion is INCREDIBLY painful. My heart goes out to you with all the compassion and sympathy I can send your way. <3 <3 <3 <3

Sorry for your loss. ._.

Awwrs losing a pet sucks

*Sniffles* poor kitty.

I remember when my cat passed on on 2004. she got a stroke and lost partial controll of the left side of her boddy.
and even so she was a smart cat. she compensated by walking against the walls to get places. but eventually she lost the abbility to swallow, and we put her to sleep.

Those memories are so touching... RIP Ashati.

Kitty shall rest in peace. He's in a better place. Be the best memories remain on your memory and never go away. *hugs tight* You have my condolences Tani

My cat Oscar, since he left the world just the day before I went to Anthrocon, still tears at my soul. I feel your pain, Tani, I really do. I wish I could give you a hug right now. :(

I'm so sorry to hear that *hugs you tight* but now she is in a better place, and I think that she will miss you as you do http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N3N1MlvVc4

im so sorry to hear hear, years ago i witnessed my dogs head being stepped on, and it haunts me to this day. *hugtight*

R.I.P. Ashati.

hugs sorry for the lost

I have lost animals too, i know how much it can hurt. Best wishes.

aww me sowwy for your loss too i lost my pet cat boots just a couple years back i grew up with that cat and a dog went and killed him everyday i always think boots will come back to me but i know one day we will meet again, and i hope you and your pet meet again too i really go my friend

wow, never heard of the rainbow bridge..gotta say..i like it.
never easy to loose a pet..a pet is somebody who doesn't care what you look like..doesn't care about your social status..or how much money you make..just loves you for who you are..the definition of a true friend.
my condolences.

That is so sad. I'll be dealing with the same issues for my dog Captain Midnight shortly too and I've seen many a friend to the next life. I'm sure your cat will miss you too. *hugs*

The hardest decision I ever had to make was five years ago over my 14 year old cat. With bad arthritis that had him barely able to move without Cortisone shots and an infection that couldn't be gotten rid of while the Cortisone was weakening his immune system, it was decided it was time for him to go, especially since the infection had already destroyed one of his eyes. I swear I could still hear him running around my mother's house until I moved out.

An all too familiar feeling. It's been since March when I lost Patches, but spending 17 years with her, the time apart has no measure, as if it all just happened yesterday. Like any loved one, a piece of you goes missing until you eventually meet back up with them. It's comforting though, to think of her keeping my friend's little brother company, as they both watch over, maintaining a silent vigil.

I was lucky in that I too got to say goodbye and can take solace in knowing that I was there for her in the end. My vet does paw imprints on ceramic plates and I got one that's a yin yang, with her two front paw prints as the dots. It's probably my most prized possession, along with her urn and a tuft of fur from that day, as well as the first photo of her and I the day I got her and our last photo the day she left.

I will say it gets better, but it's never easy. I'm so sorry.

*hugs*
mein lieber kater oscar ist letzten donnerstag gestorben....iwer hat ihn überfahren ;(

Aww I'm so sorry
Ashati mustve been a great friend so no wonder u feel this way

I've lost some pets myself so I know how it feels

If u ever need to talk about it or get something off yur chest contact me and I'll do my best to help u

Im sorry!! *hugs tightly* Ive lost all my cats :/

BTW, I read this and it was like.. instant tears ;;

*hugs Tani* i can pretty much imagine how you feel... my beloved cat was at the verge of death, too about two years ago. Every single day since then i consider to be a gift.

*hugs* sorry to hear of the loss of the loved one

I Loved You Best

So this is where we part, My Friend
And you'll run on around the bend
Gone from sight, but not from mind
New pleasures there you'll surely find

I will go on, I'll find the strength
Life measures quality, not its length
One long embrace before you leave
Share one last look, before I grieve

There are others, that much is true
But they be they, and they aren't you
And I; fair, impartial, or so I thought
Will remember well all you've taught

Your place I'll hold, you will be missed
The fur I stroked, the nose I kissed
And as you journey to your final rest
Take with you this: I loved you best

Jim Willis

Beautiful...just beautiful.

Aww, Tani... *Sniffles and hugs you tightly.* I dunno how to express how sorry I am for your loss. My kitties are very special to me, too, and I dunno what I'd do if I lost one. :(

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Tani. *hugs*

<3333

the rainbow bridge part made me tear up ;__;

awwww *cries* im really sorry hun T-T

Damn 5 seizures? That is really sudden...

-hugs-

I wish you all the strength and love in the world.

Wow tani, that second entry in this pic made me cry a bit I'm very, very sorry for your loss. never know what else to say, but '*hugs*

I am very sorry to hear about ashati :( and I'm saying it as a friend, your loss was hard, I know how it feels. *Hugs* But I know that as much as you love ashati you must remember she loves you back, but I think u know that ashati won't want you to worry about her that much, but also neverforget her.

Sleep tight =/

Es tut mir so leid das zu hören. Es ist nie einfach, jemanden zu verlieren den man liebt.
Aber wo auch immer sie nun ist, sie wird bestimmt eine schützende Pfote über dich halten.
*Hugs*

:( I'm so sorry, Tani.

And I forever curse whatever creator made the bond between us and animals and then gave them so few years.

Aaaaaw, as long as she lived a long and happy life Tani thats all that matters, she was quite the cutie and a mischeif maker too, judging by the pic :3

Sorry to thear about your loss. May better times come to you soon.

*hugs*

sad to hear i really am

And that after it seemed she got well...

my deepest sympathies T_T

Aww, I'm sorry. It's always so hard when a pet dies. *hugs*

Lovely picture of a lovely person (I can tell just by looking at this). You have my sympathy..

My wolfy heart goes out to you tani. when I was working at a boarding kennel I grew close to a husky that was a regular boarder, around this time last year. she died at the kennel do to an infection we believe , the owners couldn't afford the treatment and couldn't get back from their trip and didn't want to have her put down. but sadly she died in my arms on xmas day, I was with her for her last hours of life.

I hope you feel better hun

My sincere condolences... She sounds like a great cat.

That Rainbow Bridge story is beautiful. You have my sympathy - Ashati is there though, having a wonderful time. :3

*hugs you tight* I offer you my deepest sympathies....I'm sorrry that Ashati passed, but she will always be there with you

that is the day we never want to come..but we know that someday it comes.

mein beileid tani *dich umpfote*

My condolences, I know what it's like to loose a pet that is part of the family.

I'm really sorry...
*hugs*

Awww....
I'm sure shes in a better place now...

I can't help but get teary eyed with this....our cats are like our children to my mate and I and a friend of mine is also dealing with the hard fate of reality with thier dog, Travis. He can hardly walk and is in more pain than a dog should have to endure...but her husband still allows him to stay alive because he simply can not let him go.

He thinks he's doing the Travis a favor by keeping him alive...but how humane is it to keep them here with us when those last remaining days are in agony? My heart truly goes out to you and I pray your heart will mend from lossing such a precious gift.

I know that I haven't responded much, but i wanted to give my condolences. *hugs* I don't know what I would do if I lost my little ones. *hugs again*

*hugs* Dude, I know that simply my words cannot make this get any better, but I'm gonna say it anyway. I'm just so sorry, that's horrible. I know how it feels to have a cat that's as close as family, your best friend. I don't know what would happen if my beautiful kitten left me.

I also offer my condolences.

Cats are odd creatures. When they pick their human, they take on traits of that human. They love that human far more unconditionally than a dog ever could. Every cat has their own quirks- Mine's a stoner while I remain clean for example- the catnip is his huge vice. The truly bonded ones will try to hide when something is wrong with them hun- I learned this from my first cat, Bebe. A truly precious thing. She would sleep against my side. She would high-five me She would 'sass' back when I told her she would get no more treats that day. 21 years after I watched Bebe born, I lost her to liver cancer- It crushed me to the very depths of my soul. I became depresed for the first time, and I pray, the last. She was given a proper burial under a catwood tree in my back yard- but that's no tthe point. Here's the point for you, TaniDaReal:

Continue living, remember all the wonderful moments with your beloved. And know this. The spirits of cats are guardians to the humans they loved. I watch my current cat, Kamekaze, playing with apparently nothing at times. I watch Kame doing things only Bebe would do. And it tells me that my Bebe is still there- heling teach Kame her old habits, to help soften the loss of a lifeling companion that, despite her old age, lived a very full life as cats go. 12 years may seem like no time- but for a cat it's a lifetime too. Remember the good, not the last days. Cry your tears when you have to. You might not like this last suggestion, but it saved me when I was in my ruinous funk: Find yourself a kitten- free or not, one that needs to develop. Don't expect this kitten to instantly become your- they need to choose you as well, which takes time for some. Put your energy towards new life, to commemorate your dear one's loss and celebrate life, for in death, there's nothing for the living as humans go.

Cats have been revered as gods and the handmaidens of gods and spirits since ancient babylon. They are special, and still are. There is no creature truly like a cat- especially like the cat that makes you their human.

I truly understand the feelings of your loss. Every time I think of Bebe, I still cry. Bebe passed on in 2004. And Even after I moved out of my mothers house, she still came with me and guards over me. I visit her tree every time I visit my Mother.

Blake "Chitter Nodrey" Deaver.

i'm sorry for you, tani... loosing your cat is like loosing a wonderful, close friend...
may the great spirit protect ashati's soul on her journey...

*dont say anything... just lay down an fresh rose on the ground for your kitty, sitting down near too you. No one should be alone if an beloved character gone*

*huggles Tani tightly* Please accept my most sincere condolences for your loss, Tani. I was right there with you hoping she would recover from her previous stroke and continue a long and healthy life. She was able to give you more time together, and I'm sure she knows how much that meant to you. You're very lucky to have had such a wonderful kitty in your life. She'll be happily waiting for you on the other side of the Bridge. *huggles again*

my condolances sweetie, it sucks to lose a beloved pet.

*hugs tight and cries* I'm sorry this happened, losing a precious kitty like that is so hard...

Ahh I´m sorry to hear that.
May she rest in peace.
*Gives a big bear hug*

it's a hard thing to have a beloved pet pass hope you well.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I tried reading your comments but I remember reading that rainbow bridge thing when my cat Tucker died. It didn't make me feel better, it made me cry.

Figures I get choked up just thinking about it. *hugs* You'll be okay.

Viel viel Kraft für diese schwierige Zeit. Wir wissen alle wie sehr du sie geliebt hast. And die schönen Momente kann man sich immer wieder erinnern, denn diese nimmt dir niemand mehr!

Alles Gute !

I'm so sorry =(
I know the feeling..Take your time and hope you get better and think of the best things you have gone trhough together. Someday you may meet again. I hope the same with my beautiful partner, the one I lost and still miss enormously.

I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.
Take all the time you need for yourself and your friends.

Beautiful souls, you and her..

I completely understand how that feels, I've lost my share of loving friends like that
*hugs* strenght on this

*hugs* I'm sorry to hear that and I know how you feel. *hugs*

Im Stillen und von Herzen tiefes Mitgefühl, viel Kraft und alles Liebe,

Ponch.

*snuggles* sorry for your loss of a family member. My thoughts go out to you.

i feel your pain two years ago i lost my rat Peanut to a tumer we used to watch horror movies and eat popcorn together altho i think she just liked the popcorn

"many of us claim life to be unfair but few of us know how true that is"
rest in peace my beloved peanut ???-August 15,2007

Sorry to hear that. At least you got to say goodbye.

It was in 1997 when it was time for our dog (she was almost 16). I still think about her.

It's impossible to read 'The rainbow bridge' without at least some tears welling up.

*hugs* I'm really sorry fro your loss. I lost my dog at 9 months old and he passed right in front of me.

I'm very sorry for your loss.As long as you remember them they'll always be with you and in your heart.

omg *hugs* at least they are now in a better place

*HUG* I am with you, Tani.

It's nice to see someone who cared so much for a pet... was that the picture you took just beforehand?

I'm sorry hun, just straight after gaining such confidence after getting better...

*offers hugs*

I too am sorry to hear of your loss Tani. At least you were able to hold her and say goodbye. *Offers hugs*

I know well what it is like to lose a beloved pet cat. My last cat, Wolfy, vanished/disappeared completely over 2 years ago now, I never got to say goodbye to him. He went outside one afternoon and just vanished, was never seen again.

Really sorry, to hear that. It was interesting but sad to follow what happened.
I know how hard it is to loose someone you really love, and i hope the pain will leave soon,
giving more space for the wonderful memories about the time where you two were together.

The zoo i visit often, has the same "Rainbow bridge" text by the little graveyard in the middle of the park.
It's so touching, and i really feel with you by reading it...

I'm sorry to hear about that *hugs* Dunno what to say... I'm sure she's in a happy place now.

I am really Sorry about your loss, I know loosing a pet is very hard.

I am sorry for your loss I know how it feel to lose a pet. "hugs"

Im very sorry for your lose Tani

*Gives you a hug as he cries softly*

When your time in this world finally comes to an end, may you be reunited with your friend so you may both spend eternity together. Never to be separated again, every day filled with happiness and love.

Very sorry for the loss of your sweet kitty Tan *nuzzles*

Aww im sorry to hear about that Tani, you loved her soo much

*is about to cry and stuff* I miss my ratties x_X especially my sweet mimi. I could'nt be there when she passed since it was a bad snowstorm and we were living in my dads workplace since we had no power or heat at home.

And i was'nt there for mimi when she passed. but i was heartbroken when we went to the house and i found that she'd passed away..

And her cagemate Hime passed away shortly after. She passed away in my hands... and i was'nt alright for a few days after that.. losing a pet is like losing a family member. Its so hard. And i hope your alright.

I hope that you feel better soon. And its nice that you have her represented in your artwork. She can live on forever in this work through the hearts of everyone who sees the pictures of your beloved cat.

Feel better soon Tani

~shukie

So sorry to hear that. Thankfully she's in a better place now

"The rainbow bridge"... brought me to tears ... for i too remember the loss of a dear companion of my own long ago...

we (those of us whom have had and lost a pet before) know the depths and meanings, emotions and reflections our pets share with us. always remember them...we all wait to be with our beloved friends.
you have my condolences, Tani...Ashati may have been lost, but she waits patiently for you now, remembering all the times you and she spent together and looks forward to having you with her again someday. remember her always *hug* she'll always be in your heart
*Tanek*

Ach man. Du Ärmste. Einen geliebten Freund zu verlieren ist immer schwer. Ich kann gut nachvollziehen, wie schwer der Schritt gewesen sein muss, sich tatsächlich einzugestehen, dass es nicht mehr geht und Ashati einschläfern zu lassen.

Ich hoffe, der Ort, an dem sie jetzt ist, ist in einer schöneren Welt als die unsere.

Wenn du jemand Aussenstehendes in deiner Sprache zum Reden brauchst, tu dir keinen Zwang an. Ich weiss, wie schwer so etwas sein kann... Man, ich weiss nicht, wieso, aber das bedrueckt mich jetzt richtig.

I am so sorry to hear that.
I have had my cat for many years now, and the thought of losing him is horrible enough...
Again, I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Just remember, you made her life a good one.
May her good memory always be with you.

I understand how you feel... my tabby cat had died in my arms as well...
he had cancer... and I didn't want him to suffer...
probably the most difficult decision I have ever had to make...

*offers many hugs and cookies in condolence for your loss* =u_u=~~

breath deep love, things will pass back into normality, but mourn all you must, you where given two great mounths to say goodbye, and tho it dosent ease the passing, know she knew it was time befor you did, cats, and animals in general, alwasy do.

*hugs * sleep well

My sincere condolences, Tani. To part with a beloved friend and family member is hard, and life is all too full of these instances.
"The Rainbow Bridge" is quite a beautiful piece, by the way. Thank you for sharing.

My Condolences as well. It hurst when you lose a loved one, even with those that walk on all fours or walk not at all. They are no different as part of family. An old saying comes in to play " Time heals all wounds."

So sorry to hear that...

I am so sorry, loosing a furry loved one suck *hugs you SOOO TIGHT*

The peace of death is finally hers, but not before the peace of hearing your voice in her darkest hours.

thats sad
R.I.P Ashati

I'm so sorry. Losing a family member is the hardest thing... the hurt never really goes away completely.

"You risk tears, if you let yourself be tamed." (The Little Prince)

I'm glad you had such a good friend.

*hugs* im so sorry may she rest in peace

my cat whom i had for 18.5 years passed last may... and honestly i am still trying to get over her passing, on the bad days when i close my eyes i can see her last moments before the doctor put her down in my arms and well i can understand the kind of pain you are going through... my thoughts and good tidings go out to you... hang in there.

Vor zwei Monaten starb einer meiner Hunden, Ich war dran, Verwandte zu besuchen. Also war es eine verspätete Trauer, als Ich nach einer Woche zurückkehrte. Trotzdem schmerzt es noch sehr. Einen geringen Trost kann Ich Dir geben, als Tierärztin habe Ich viele einschläfern müssen, aber bis jetzt habe Ich immer das Gefühl, während die Kleinen endgültig einschlafen, zeigt ihr Gesicht Dankbarkeit für diesen letzten Gefallen.

I'm sorry for your loss, Tani.

i am sorry hun, i hope you feel better soon, i am sure she is looking down on you and watching you

i've been there...she will always be in ur heart and nothing can take those special memories away! take care

Wish I could find the words. Usually words dont fail me, but they do here... We furries, I think we -get it- more than any other group of people around. As such, we are very close to our so called 'pets'... even the word friends falls short.... they truly are our 'loved ones'... and we go through the SAME heartache and pain when one dies as if it were a human 'loved one'. I see nothing wrong with this... and I think that the fact that we regard our 'pets' as 'loved ones' is a very, very good thing, even if it does hurt more when they are gone.

My most sincere condolences :(

Very sorry to hear that, I know how much it hurts to loose a member of the family (and screw those who say that pets are anything but just smaller, fuzzy family members) like that.

I am also sorry to hear that... *gives hugs*
You know what they say... Life is short. But every good times you've spent with her is worth everything.

Indeed-time well spent is always worth it. Tani's time with Ashanti sounds incredible. I'm sure they were the best of friends.

That's sad :(

We all have to leave soon or late, But I'm sure you offered to Ashati as munch love as she could have.

Goodbyes are painfull but regrets kills and I think there's no many cats that had the luck to live as well as Ashati lived thanks to you, you'll have nothing but good moment spent to think about.

I wish you the best.

Sometimes I have dreams where my beloved Precious or Oreo will come and sleep by me, their paws padding gently up the bed, stopping, and laying down next to me. The soft purr can almost be felt; almost a sound, almost a feeling. And sometimes I've felt that while I've been awake. I have faith that your Ashanti will visit you. Don't cry too much, because she would want you to be happy. Its okay to miss her, but don't let it eat you up, either.

I'm sorry she passed the way she did. But if nothing else, God, or who/whatever is out there, let you have some time to say goodbye, build more memories, and give you as much love as she could before passing.

Some advice: take a break, and mourn properly. This is perhaps the best way for people to heal. And I hope that it helps you as well.

My deepest sympathies. I know what it is like to lose a loved one, as I lost my cat last year. She was the same age as yours. I wish I could tell you that the emptiness and heartache will leave, but it hasn't for me. I still miss my Jezzie. That fact that you gave her a loving home, lots of scratches, and lots of love means a lot to her and you. I wish I could be there to give you a hug in person, but this tele-hug will just have to do. *Hug* Wishing you the best in this tough time.

Oh, darling. I reckon you loved your cat. I can feel your pain having lost her.

*hugs you*

Tani, I am so sorry for your loss. *hugs* I lost a dog when I was about 6 when he was choking on a chicken bone when he came into my room. His throat got torn open and his blood.....his blood was everywhere, including on me...*wipes away tears from his eyes* He died on my brother's bed with him there, screaming with me beyond terrorized. I can not speak anymore on it...This is why I am always have and always will be a dog lover till my death and beyond...

When blood runs as water does
dripping as tears from the face
you might walk in wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there.

The edges there are dull
rounded as the heart is soft
you could walk in wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there.

Over wounds are the bandages
cloth, silken as loving care
and devotion
as the wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there.

For in that dusk of life
when the heart beats the last reville of life
breath swirling as wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there.

For even in the darkest heart
the darkest hour
and hardest purpose
the spirit is wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there.

When silence overtakes the lips
and wishes the lost gentle heart
before you might be that wind-white snow
perhaps you will...

Perhaps you will join her there
who knows?


There is no pain quite like losing someone you love but she will never be completely lost to you, Tani. But when the time comes, you will most certainly join her, wherever she is. But in the meantime, that place is without pain, without suffering... and full of light and joy. You have my best wishes.

Mein Beileid. Es ist immer schwer jemanden zu verlieren.

I know how you must feel right now. Afterall, they aren't just pets, they're our children too. I hope the memories that you have and the fact that Ashati can no longer feel pain can help dull the pain. Even though my cat Romeo is a pain in the tail, I know that when he goes, I'm probably going to cry like a baby. *Hugs* She'll always be with you, remember that!

I'm sorry about Ashati... Just remember the good times and know that she is out of the pain she was once in. She still knew you when she left. And if she could talk, I'm sure she would say "Thanks, for everything you have done for me" Pets are important. I don't care what anyone says. And I hope you feel better soon, Tani.

This truly made me emotional. My mother lost her beloved 4 legged doggy friend last year around Christmas time.. He was a sweet dog. Did you make up the rainbow bridge idea? That truly made me tear up. I'd love to use that idea as a background for her and her dog..

The Rainbow Bridge poem was written by an unknown author (as far as I know). It's very popular in the internet and exists in various languages.

Whoever wrote it is a genius ... seriously.. D:

"No matter how bitter the experience... No matter how painful is the past... They always fade over time. Then we file them away in our memories and eventually forget them..."

-My father


RIP your cat. You may have forgotten here as time flies, but recollection will always bring back your memories of your dead pet.

oh noes! *hugs* i cannot being to think about what i would feel like when i lose my kitties... =(

I can't say anything to make the pain any less. I just am happy you guys got some extra time together too. and I'm sorry for the loss.

I must also say I was once shown that poem as well. And I share your sentiments on it as I'm sure many of us do. My best wishes to you both on that reunion.

R.I.P., Ashati.
And others.

I am so very sorry, Tani.

I am so sorry. The pain never truly goes away. I held my dear feline in the vet till his last breath near five years ago and even now I still cry from missing him so badly there will be no cat like him. When you make a strong and special bond with an animal and it is time for them to go it is truly a ripping of your heart and soul. As long as you never forget, love and cherish their memories, they are never truly gone.

We just had our bunny pass away a few weeks ago. He died in his cage while we were sleeping. It's heartbreaking to lose a pet. Many of us feel we are responsible for those that have been placed in our care. But when the time comes, they have to go. Feel blessed that you had them in your life and you were able to care for them.

It feels as though when you least expect it, their memories just creep up and overwhelm ya.
I don't know if I cry because she is gone or because of how happy she made me. I bet it's both.
I am sorry for your loss, but not for your fortune of sharing your life with a pretty girl like her.

I am so sorry for you, I can imagine and feel somehow how you must feel. I hope one day you will be with her again. And I know you will! Bet strong, she´s allways with ya.

I have a song that wish i could share with you, but don't have anywhere i can put it so i can post a link here to it.

That made me cry. I loved your poem about the rainbow bridge. I know I'm a year late, but still. It reminds me of an all too recent loss.

I'm sorry Ashati, that your cat died in your arms. I know what it is to lose pet,how hard and painful . In 2004, December 24, my dog ​​died. I will never forget her. I understand that you feel when Ashati died

When I lost my old cat Pooz, it was hard. I was in elementary at the time, and it was right before I went to school. She died of old age, but that doesn't make it any easier. She was 18 years old, and a grumpy little shit. But I loved her. But this isn't my point. My point is years after her passing, I had a sleep over with one of my best friends she had never seen Pooz before, not even a picture. But right before we went to bed she sit up and said "Kira?" I answered and she said she had seen a small brown and white cat sitting at the foot of my bed. I was confused and the time, cause the only cat I had at the time was my own cat, Buddy. But Buddy was a pure black cat. She almost perfectly described Pooz, though she had never seen her in her life. I started to cry, and pulled out a picture of Pooz and asked her if that was the cat she saw. She said yeah, that's it. It made me brake down in tears. My best friend, who had never seen this cat before, had seen her in my room, at the foot of my bed.
Your cat passing reminded me of this. The rainbow bridge, in my opinion, is real and they are waiting for us to come back to them. Your kitty will be there too, maybe right now they are both chasing mice together until we are there to meet them again.

I recently had my pet Skuggan put down because he was 5 pounds lighter than normal and the thyroid was taking its toll and not to mention the kidneys were being a problem. June 2nd 2014.

I tried to say more good-byes but it was hard....


If you want to chat I am here as I am dealing with a loss since I had my cat for 16 years.
