So sorry to hear this Mark, Clapton obviously lived a lovely life with you, and knew he was loved until the very end. You did the best you could for him and didn't let him suffer needlessly. Sending lots of love to you and Dennis  :hug: RIP Clapton you handsome boy, free from pain now at Rainbow Bridge

Thanks everyone  :hug:

Thanks to those who sent PMs - Sorry I haven't got round to replying. Dennis is going to work from home today - I am going to college and will see how I go. Probably better to take my mind of things - also I can't afford to miss genetics lectures  :scared:

It really does seem odd without him here and really weird not spending half of my morning time trying to make sure he has eaten something and clearing up 1/2 dozen or so dishes of uneaten food.

Sorry to hear about Clapton


With heavy hearts; and a tear in our eyes
after all these years; we must say goodbye
Please understand; we've done all we could
if there was anything we could do; you know we would

I'm sitting right here; gently rubbing your ears
while I talk to you softly; trying to hold back the tears
The memories you gave us; we'll never forget
especially the ones; of the day we all met

One last hug; and one last kiss
you have no idea; how much you'll be missed
To look into your eyes; this one last time
you tell me it's ok; you know it's your time

Close your eyes now; and go to sleep
we'll pray forever you're soul to keep
Go in peace now; our good friend
we'll stay right here with you; until the end

Dream of that special day and time
when we'll meet at the Bridge; and all will be fine
We'll run and play; side by side
with a soft warm feeling; deep down inside

Your memory will live on; in each one of us
you'll always be number 1; to all of us
Have a safe journey; through the night
I promise when you awake; you'll be in eternal light

So with heavy hearts; and tears in our eyes
just for now my friend; we say goodbye

Mark, I am so sorry.  I have been so busy with everyone here I missed this thread but I know how much Clapton meant to you and Dennis and to the rest of us here on Purrs.


Run free sweet Clapton, free from pain at the Bridge, where you will be re-united one day with those who loved you so much.

Thanks everyone. We are just so glad he isn't suffering now. Craig said the his kidneys were so tiny, they had given up producing red bloods cells. The inside of his little mouth was blue  :(

Thinking back to better times - Willow (died 2/1/10) used to tease him mercilessly but he always took it well  :Luv2: (excuse the horrible brown window - it was replaced before the house was sold)

This was about 6 years ago.

I haven't been a Purrs member for long enough to know much about Clapton but I can tell he was very very loved and he passed away with the two people who he loved the most by his side.  :hug:

Clapton was the most loved and cherished cat - nothing was too much trouble, or expense, to give him the best of lives

now he has been given that final loving gift, and sent on his way to the Bridge with a lifetime of care to speed him on his way

but I am so sad for you and Dennis, who will miss him so much
