Title: Special thread for Purrs Birthday- cats who went to the bridge before 15 Nov 06
Post by: Gill (sneakiefeline) on August 29, 2009, 13:53:05 PM
As all Purrs members know we have special stuff that happens on Purrs Birthday and this year in Nov it will be out third birthday!

We always have a Roll of Honour for all cats that went to the Bridge in the last year but we have never had anything to recognize all the cats that went to the Bridge before Purrs was born.

You are therefore invited to either PM me or post here any cat you would like put on our specail roll of honour.

I will need the cats name and month and year when they went to play on the Bridge.

Thank you.

I had the same thought, and cried the whole way through The Clan line up, so many memories so many stories all our mob are rescue or lifes waifs and strays - the ones those normal folks and some do gooders wouldn't give house room to but here are given the chance to be what ever they can - some stay for a long time others for a short while but the end result is here than we are broken hearted that we couldn't do more but then time moves on that little while and all are fondly remebered - I have a wall in my study with all of them on it

The Rolls pf Honour are not lost and in the link that Mary has given, they appear right at the top of Rainbow Bridge.

Because they have music attached they were moved to a separate place.

We will never loose them  :sneaky:

I dont think yoy can get into the Cat Chat archives any more but will have a gander.

Thanks all for adding to the list in here

Cat Chat only have kept theings back to 2008! So guess they have dumped all the old stuff which is very very sad. Even Rainbow Bridge is the same.

I have a copy of the last posts on CC 15/16 Nov 06 but afraid thats it.

My Darling Jemilla.

Went to the Bridge 24th April 2006.

What hurt so much is that it was the first time I had been through this as an adult and the first time I had ever cuddled a companion I truly loved as they passed over. I felt like even though I was doing it to end her suffering, that I was murdering her. I now know I was acting out of love.

I never found out what it was that was making her ill. That made the decision much harder. At least if I had had a diagnosis like cancer, it would have been more understandable.

She is at home with my other furbabes who have passed over.

Jemilla I will always love you and will never forget you.
