Four Feet in Heaven

 
Your favorite chair is vacant now…
No eager purrs to greet me.
No softly padded paws to run
Ecstatically to meet me.
 
No coaxing rubs, no plaintive cry
Will say it’s time for feeding.
I’ve put away your bowl, and all
The things you won’t be needing;
 
But I will miss you little friend,
For I could never measure
The happiness you brought me,
The comfort and the pleasure.
 
And since God put you here to share
In earthly joy and sorrow;
I’m sure there’ll be a place for you
In Heaven’s bright tomorrow…

one year ago today Rossi, i said goodbye and hugged you for the very last time.
Time is so odd, sometimes it feels like forever and sometimes it seems just like yesterday.
I will always cherish the years we spent together, I have not been the same - since you've been gone.
and now Elvis is with you and i know you are happy. I love and miss you always.  :Luv: :Luv: :Luv:

Me too, Rossi waited until the right looking kitten came along and guided him to your door  :hug: :hug:

Right now he is sleeping on Rossi's old chair beside me while i work.
He found this spot very quickly all by himself, i hope that Rossi sent him my way.
Rossi was about 3yrs old when i took him in and we had an amazing 9yrs together.
i always used to say to him that i wished our paths had crossed sooner while he was still a kitten.

Hi all,

It just dawned on me that because i've been counting the days and weeks since Rossi left me, its been 11 months.
Another 4 weeks would be 12 months, but then there are 52 weeks in the year.
I think i'm going to honor him on what would have been 12 months and then again on his actual anniversary date.

I have big news, a new kitten has come into my life and i am not feeling as depressed as i was before.
I will make a post about it later with pictures :)

God Bless you Rossi, you taught me so much and i know you are watching over me :Luv:

Rossi's favourite place in the whole world, still the way he left it.
Have not got the heart to change it, don't know if its helpful or not.

How are you feeling Andrew? Are things getting a little easier?   :hug:

I went to the doctor and he put me on Antidepressants, they make me feel numb but i think its better this way.
Still think of him all the time and the love i have for him is just as strong.
Also i now realize even more so, how lucky i was to have him in my life.
Not everyone gets to experience this bond or can love an animal on this level.
Those who experience it are special human beings.

Thanks.

These things take time, Andrew.  It can feel very isolating when others seem to bemoving on with their lives, and you find it so difficult.  I dont necessarily think it's because they don't care, it's more that certain bonds we form are so much harder to bear when they've gone, but that's the price we always pay for that precious relationship.

I know that although it's been very painful losing our treasured companions over the years, I wouldnt trade the relationship I enjoyed with them, to save myself from the pain afterwards. 

I think that when you feel more ready, taking on a kitten or a young cat might be a good move.  It's hard not to get enthusiastic about their energy and zest for life, and your other cat (what's her name by the way?) may well welcome the company - and if she doesn't, then you'll have to work very hard to get them to trust each other, which will engage all of your senses again.

I know it may sound like a gamble, but often the thing which helps us on our own road to recovery is having something else to focus on which absolutely relies on us to get it right, or at least give our absolute best in trying to.   :hug: :hug:

I think the move with regard to volunteering is a positive one, for similar reasons.

Don't discount going to see your GP and asking about bereavement counselling.  Your health and wellbeing is a precious thing too, and sometimes it needs more help than uual to get back on track.  :hug: :hug:

thanks all,  :hug:

Finding pictures of him is the only joy i have right now.
Since he passed i feel like i'm just drifting through each day
in some kind of slow motion dream state with no interest.
My family seem to be getting back to some kind of normal.
I feel broken in some way, permanently :(
