Last night, for the first time

[Kajira Callista]

in 16 years, I slept without my foot warmer,best buddy, true friend Sophia.
She died of kidney failure at 12 am this morning... and i already miss her so much it feels as if my heart is shattered.
She was the sweetest most loving...meanest most moody cat and i adored her.
I'm looking all over for these great pictures i have of her hanging on a huge Christmas Ball on the tree with so much mischief in her eyes you have to giggle...i cant find them anyplace. But i don't really need them do i? Because she is etched in my heart forever.



Rest in peace my pretty pussycat...I love you.

I am sad for you. I think they are the best friends a person could ever have. I don't know about afterlives for us, but I know the cat angels fly around on little pastel feather wings.

She'll be with you in your heart always, and come to meet you in the hereafter, with all the others you loved and who loved you.



This place needs a :hug: smiley, dammit!

I have lost two much loved cats to the dreaded kidney disease, Tigger was 13 and Razzle was only 9 when he had to be put down (I think it was genetic several others related to him also died young). Tigger died when I was a teenager and I miss him to this day. They certainly leave paw prints on your heart.....* for KC*

Sorry to hear of your loss KC..these creatures have a way of tiptoeing into our hearts before we realise just how much a fixture they have become in our life and love.

Sorry for your loss.

 

[Kajira Callista]

Thanks everyone, i kind of felt that as special as she was she deserved at least this little memorial.

 

[nusubgurl]

From one cat woman to another...i am so very sorry for your loss.

Your fur friend deserves many memorials to her service to you...

The Rainbow Bridge:

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

THEN YOU CROSS RAINBOW BRIDGE TOGETHER...

I'm so very sorry, KC...lost one beautiful bitch of a cat to kidney failure before her mischief was accomplished about a year ago, and her sister isn't doing much better right now. Checkers had eyes like limestone under running water and was adamantly her own cat until her version of a mid-life crisis, when she realized we were pretty good cat substitutes. I still dream about her and wake up crying. Thank you for your tribute to yours. Strength and solace to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your kitty KC.


I wish mine would sleep with me. But she has moved into the Dryer which is 5 feet off the floor. Maybe I snore or something.

My condolences in your time of grief, Calllista. Our pets are often our best friends, our confidants, our confessors, our consciences. We can pour out our secrets in absolute trust, knowing that what we share will never be repeated or used to hurt us. May warm and cherished memories bring you comfort and peace, may you feel her warmth and hear her joyful purr whenever you need it.

 

[Betticus]

Lots of hugs coming your way KC.

 

[Andante]

Sorry about that, KC

I've got three kittens ready to leave home now. You're welcome to stop by and pick one

...i dread the day my foot warmer passes as he is 12 i am thinking it is not too far off

Now, now; I know of one housecat in Denmark that made it past 21, and gave birth to +200 kittens.

Ya know... i was going through that whole thing in my head where we tell ourselves it was just a cat no big deal and then crying again because it is a big deal and feeling dumb because it was just a cat...etc...etc... but all of you really know that it is never just an animal when they pass away, they are so a part of your world, and you never realize til they arent there and you expect to see them when you turn around.

I still cant look at the cat carrier she was in....or throw away her dish....but im not crying like a baby everytime someone says they are sorry about her passing.

She wasn't just a cat, she was your companion. She's loved you through a lot of shit, and kept you warm through a lot of cold nights. It's not like she's a stray who wandered in.
