Title: Cassie has gone
Post by: Judecat (Paula) on July 30, 2011, 23:03:03 PM
My Kissy Cass went to The Bridge on Thursday morning. We hd three years of battling her bowel incontinence, I really didn't mind the cleaning of the carpets every morning, the special diet. The steroid injections which hurt her, I hated and didn't do any good anyway. I finally saw what my neighbours did when I got scared to groom her because she was so bony.
 She went to sleep very calmly in my arms and I miss her very much.

RIP Cassie

Cassie had a stomach/bowel disorder, unfortunately she didn't respond to treatment, so she was PTS on Thursday. I wasn't able to post until today, I have lost my beautiful Baby Girl. I don't quite know what to say except I will miss her so much, even if it will no longer look as if I am self harming from her loving on my lap. She had BIG claws!

I am so very sorry. We can only do out best and her time with you was filled with love. I'm sure her path to the bridge was gentle and she felt your love go with her.
Play well at the bridge Cassie xx

Oh no so sorry to hear of your loss  :( it's so hard  losing a fur baby, I lost one of my own last year to cancer so I know how painful it is, it's still very raw for me even now I just find comfort in knowing that I can never lose the years we spent together as  the memories will always stay in my heart just as Cassie will be in yours .


Sending you  BIG HUGS :hug: :hug: :hug:

Run free and happy at Rainbow Bridge  :RIP:

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....

My most sincere condolences for your baby Kissy Cass.

My heart is breaking for you tonight.

I lost my Cassie almost 12 years ago, she was only 18 months old, Beau's best friend and the most loyal and intelligent cat I ever owned. 

I know she was happy in her short time with us, as I know Kissy Cass had the very best this world could offer her, with you.

Go find my Cassie at the bridge, Kissy Cass, she's there somewhere and will show you the ropes :hug: :hug:

So very sorry JC  :'( 

I think perhaps the loss can be felt more keenly when a special one took a lot of time to care for. 

There are so many more reminders dotted about the house that pop up and bite you  :hug: :hug: :hug:

RIP Cassie sweetheart  :(

Thank you all. It is going to take a while, but I can't get used to reversing very carefully down the drive so that I don't run her over, I was convinced that one day I would, the way she'd run out of the bushes behind the car. I don't have an impatient paw try to open the cat house door at feeding times (dictated by the cats - of course.) I miss her being vocal, I miss her clawing my thighs to pieces. Trouble is subdued, and only eating two pouches of food a day + dry, I think she may have been eating a lot more than I thought. He isn't losing weight, he still only tolerates cuddles though. He is coming up for fusses and hides against the world a lot more though.

I just hope and believe that she is playing very hard on The Bridge.

Again, thank you all for all your kind thoughts and wishes.

Paula AKA Judecat.
