I went to sleep composing a letter to you and woke still mid sentence. I feel so cheated. They said you were 5 when you came to us from the RSPCA in 2006. I should have known you were getting on when you had to have so made teeth extracted. If I'd known, perhaps I would have been more prepared for this. What is this? Where are you my lovely, lovely boy?

I'm sorry I didn't pick up on the signs sweetheart before it was too late. Was still not sure I was overreacting when I took you in yesterday morning. Oh sweetheart. It was only yesterday.

Everything's wrong. Unbalanced. You should be here sitting behind my screen trying to eat my cereal. You were by me all the time. You should have been squeaking overnight, peeing on your newspaper, eating a spot of grub with me in the wee hours, lying across my throat, headbutting my hand. You've gone kid and it's unbearable. The house revolved around your needs and desires and rightly so. You rewarded every effort.

I just can't stop crying sweetheart. Am in a such a pickle.
I can still feel you but I know it won't last. At least I got to remind you that you were my favourite angel darling baby boy and you knew it. You were so truly beautiful and calm when you went.

I have loved and been loved and that's what it's all about I suppose but it hurts like hell.
This video is how I remember you best darling... always had to be the boss but never likely to do much damage with only two teef.....

Oh my heart is breaking for you. Remember the good times and you have these lovely photos for comfort.
Keep strong

:'( Rosella :hug: :hug: I'm so sorry.
RIP Fred xx
-
I'm so sorry Rosella, my heart goes out to you all.
R.I.P Fred, send a rainbow down.
-
He was a very beautiful cat.
So sorry for your loss Rosella.
RIP Fred.
-
Rosella, I am so sorry, my heart is aching for you - just remember all the good times and hold on to that thought that you were loved so much and gave so much love.
Fred and my George are probably meeting on the Bridge and chuckling at how they had us wrapped round their little paws. :hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:
-
Rosella, I am actually sat crying for you. Having had an unexpected loss with a feline that (when not getting grumpy and shouting from another room) was my shadow I feel sick because I kind of know how you'll be feeling. It's all very unreal and detached, like a numbness.
Freddie was so lucky to have you guys; and you him. He couldn't have asked for a family that loved him more and he will have known that.
Sending you a gentle hug. :care:
And Freddie, you send your Mummy a sign soon, you hear? She'll never stop loving you and she'll need to know you got to the Bridge safely.
-
Rosella that is such a beautiful and heartfelt tribute to a beautiful cat who will always live in your heart .............. as you will in his. :hug: :hug:
-
Rosella, my heart is breaking for you. You gave him the best life possible. I'm so very very sorry :hug: :hug:
-
Rosella - I am so so sorry - am in tears for you and your handsome handsome boy Fred.
So so hard when they have to leave us so quickly. :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP Fred - Run free handsome man :'(

Im so sad to hear this
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

A wonderful tribute to a wonderful boy :hug: I remember when you adpted him Rosella, you were so excited and so impatient! He was a lucky boy to have you and vice versa :hug:
RIP Fred, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx
The Greatest Gift
I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.
It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.
It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.
The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.
For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.
Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.
I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.
So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."
Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

An empty space, and a gaping hole in your heart. Nothing can be said which will make that ache any the less.

This isn't really a cat poem but still the sentiment is the same I think:
To Those I Love
by Isla Paschal Richardson
If I should ever leave you,
Whom I love
To go along the silent way. . .
Grieve not.
Nor speak of me with tears.
But laugh and talk of me
As if I were beside you there.
(I'd come. . .I'd come,
Could I but find a way!
But would not tears and
And grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song
Or see a bird I loved,
Please do not let the thought of me
Be sad. . .for I am loving you
Just as I always have. . .
You were so good to me!
There are so many things
I wanted still to do. . .
So many things I wanted to say
to you. . . Remember that
I did not fear. . . It was
Just leaving you
That was so hard to face.
We cannot see beyond. . .
But this I know:
I loved you so. . .
'twas heaven here with you!
Sending you lots of hugs Rosella.
RIP Freddie :'( :'(
-
Allison, that's so beautiful. :'(

So very sorry to hear this Rosella. That was a lovely tribute. I always had a soft spot for your Freddie.
You must be devastated :hug: :hug: :hug:
RIP your beautiful boy :'(

Thank you so much everyone. Weird how it feels he left us ages ago and it is only the beginning of day 3 without him.
I'm so very very grateful that he went so peacefully as I am able to look at pics and videos of me lad and get so much comfort from that. My desktop pic and mousemat at the office are both close ups of me boy and have a Freddie mug at the other office I am going to today. It all helps.
:hug: :hug: :hug:
-
I'm so very sorry Rosella - he was sooooooooooo hadsome and obviously adored. :hug: :hug:
-
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss.
You were truly lucky to find your twin heart cat and spend some time together. Twin hearts are never parted so take him into yours now.
Play well at the bridge Fred x

Fred sent you Boris to be his stand-in so you would have someone to eat your cereal and pee on your newspaper and lie on your neck.
Fred did what he could to make it right for you because you did eveything right for him. :hug:

:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug: Rosella.
Freddie is watching over you and educating Boris so he knows all the right............and wrong things to do :hug:

So sorry for your loss and to hear how sudden it was and how it still hurts these months later :hug: :hug: :hug:

Well kid. It's a year. I miss you and it still hurts but that's the way of these things ain't it angel.
Boris still does his best to remind me of you but it's not needed sweetheart and the more he grows up, the less like you he is which is also the way of things but thanks for easing the pain by sending him here.
I still adore you and always will ........... you beautiful boy :Luv2:
