Sheila, its beautiful that you saw the rainbows sent from the bridge. And so lovely that you share them with everyone. Xxxx

Drove from London To Lancaster yesterday, to celebrate my Mum's 70th birthday.  :shy:

Midst of the journey, the whole of the Midlands were positively awash with rainbows - every direction   ;D

I thought of you, Lindsey; and you, Cazzer; and you, JS and you, Peardrop and you, Bungly and you, Edd and you, Superkitty and you, Peggy and you, Gill and you, Helen and you, Liz and you CatGirl.

The Rainbows were for you, all of you  :hug: :hug:

Thankyou all for your lovely messages, it is much appreciated & is really helping me :)
I got her privately cremated & picked her ashes up today. She is in a lovely sleeping cat urn, I have put her on a shelf in my bedroom next to her photo. I still can't believe she has gone, I don't think it has quite sunk in yet. Mollie has been extra fussy, I think she knows how much I need her right now. X

Why do we put ourselves through this pain? :hug:

Because the sheer joy bought by these gorgeous animals the rest of the time far outweighs the pain; even if it doesn't feel like it at that point in time.

I'm so sorry, Lindsay. Lacie will totally have known how loved she was - it was clear from your posts that you adored her. I'm crying for you because I know how much it hurts. :care: Please, if you need to, message me.

Rest Easy Lacie. A beautiful girl who will always be loved.

I am so sorry for your loss , it's been a lousy few months on here for cats going to the bridge.
I still expect Smartie to be in his bed every time i walk past it , he went to the bridge only 6 weeks ago.

RIP Lacie, safe and sound at the bridge with lots of the purrs babies to play with.

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....

She went to sleep at 12:25. :( I'm too numb to write much right now but will write a tribute when I feel up to it.


In my mind Ping is still alive I can't believe he is not with us. Every morning and before I go to bed I pick up the urn with his ashes in hold it to my face then kiss it and tell him that he is still mummies boy and that I love him.

Why do we put ourselves through this pain? :hug:

We have been having lovely sleepy cuddles all night, i'm so glad I got to spend this precious time with her. Shes even eaten some ham for me! She's used her litter tray, had a little wander around & had a go on her scratching post. She's now settled down on a blanket on the windowsill. Apart from being yellow & having a catheter poking out her arm, you wouldn't even know she was ill, she's such a brave girl. X    :Luv2:

I know exactly how you are feeling. :'(

Well I'm back from the vets, my vet Debbie who has cared for Lacie for the last 18 months told us that from the ultrasound it is most likely to be a tumour that is causing the blockage. She said that she could refer her for surgery but that she may not survive surgery & if she did  her chance of recovery would be slim, she even got a bit upset when she told us & said that if she was her pet she wouldn't put her through it. Lacie has been such a trooper over the last 18mths, I would never put her through any extra stress if the outcome is so bleak. She has come home with us so we can spend some quality time with her & I think she appreciates being home. Debbie will be coming to us late tomorrow morning to make her go to sleep forever. Devastated isn't even close to how i'm feeling right now. :'( :'( :'(

So sorry to read this :(  :hug:

I have no idea if this will help or not, but our cat Schmoo has had liver problems for a while now, and almost as soon as it was detected our vet put her on a 1/4 tablet of destolit a day, which they said was specifically to help the flow of bile and stop the duct getting icky. Might be worth asking your vets about it if surgery isnt an option? Obviously wether this will help or not might depend on the severity of the problem, but I wanted to mention it just in case.

Thinking of you..

Helen
