For my cat, Adar...

[koofie]

Only last week you were here with me. I never thought you would be gone so young, so I didn't cherish those last days. In fact, I remember thinking how annoying it was when you meowed so loudly and climbed up my leg.

I remember when you were a kitten. You were so gregarious and active. You were curious about everything and quick to investigate. I loved it when you would "attack" your toys, or curl up and nap beside your dog.

And when I found you last Wednesday morning, I was so terrified. You were curled on your side in pain, barely consious, with your brothers and sisters surrounding you. I didn't know what to do so I rushed you to the bathroom. Shadow comforted you while I called the vet, but you died before we could even leave the house.

It is so hard to believe you are no longer with me. Every once in awhile it hits me, and my heart rips again. I wonder what I could have done. If there was anything. I only wish I had known. Could I have prevented your death? Could I have lessened you pain?

I know that I will never have you back, nor will I find a cat in this world like you. I want you to know I love you, Adar. I have loved you since I first met you, and I will love you forever, even though you are no longer with me. You were one of my children, and I will miss you.

Love, Mommy

Thank you both so much. I really am just in need of hugs, since I feel like I don't get to spend enough time with my cats, between a new job and a 19 month old. Adar's death has really enhanced this guilty feeling.

Thank you again. I also want to send out HUGS 2 to everyone experencing a loss or grief.

Thanks,

Cats are a special kind of love, they are always there for you, and always will be, I believe, even in death. I love my 2 cats. Sorry for your loss. 3 2 1

My cat, Bert, and I, send you our most sincere condolences and wish you and your household well in this difficult time.

I guess we learn alot about how HUGE our hearts are, when we lose beloved animal family members.

Adar now play with the Angels.

When pets pass they go to the Rainbow Bridge

"Just this side of Heaven is a place called 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.
