1. I'm so sorry

I know how it hurts

[brer cat]

2. She is at peace and free from pain, grits.

I am so sorry. It is tough to lose our babies.

[stevenleser]

3. My sincere condolences...

[woodsprite]

4. So sorry to hear about Mousie.

I know how hard it is to lose a pet. It sounded like Mouse could not have found a better caregiver than you.

Sending hugs and prayers

[Cooley Hurd]

5. May Mousie cross gently.

My sincere condolences, My Friend.

[MannyGoldstein]

6. So sorry to hear

You gave Mousie much comfort.

Peace to all.

The two of you had a very long time together. Remember the first day more than the last.

[avebury]

15. I am so sorry to hear that and for

your loss. You gave her so much love, especially in her last days.

[GreenPartyVoter]

16. I am so very sorry!

[liberalla]

17. I'm so very very sorry and sad for you...

I'm not good at finding the right words to say at the right time, but...

I hope the memories of Mousie stay with you and comfort you always.
Keep her in your heart, where she belongs.

Peace to you.

[madaboutharry]

20. Gentle passage to sweet Mousie,

and comfort to you, Are_grits_groceries.

[bigmonkey]

21. Condolences, grits

You gave her a great life. You loved each other to the end.

[Le Taz Hot]

22. You gave her a good life, grits.

Never forget that. So many animals don't get the chance to be loved and cared for like Mousie was. Process your grief in your own time and own way but don't be surprised if in a few weeks/months another little fur baby shows up on your doorstep. They know who the good people are and they'll find you.

[hamsterjill]

118. ^^^^^ This!

Very well said, Le Taz Hot. They do know who the good ones are, don't they???!!!

And may I add my sympathies to Grits on the loss of Mousie. Peace and comfort to you.

[AllyCat]

23. I'm so sorry. You took such good care of each other.

[magical thyme]

24. godspeed, Mousie...

You gave Mousie a lifetime of love. That's all Mousie could have wanted. I'm so sorry for your loss...peace to you and the rest of Mousie's family.

[grasswire]

25. it's a good day for mousie..

....to be free of age and woes. She's one with the universe, with the great chorus of all who have gone before.

It may be too late for you to clip a bit of fur for remembrance. I have a bit of my sweet Chester's fur and a bit of sweet Keiko's fur. Somehow that helps. Gone but not forgotten, even years and years later.

[raccoon]

26. I'm so sorry. She was a little older than my Fluff. nt

[pnwmom]

27. Sorry to hear that! I know how you'll miss her.

[pnwest]

28. You have a new guardian angel looking

out for you, gamboling about doing happy cat stuff. It's so hard to lose them. May your fondest Mousie memories bring you solace.

[shenmue]

29. Rest in peace

[Bobbie Jo]

30. I'm so sorry.

[mnhtnbb]

31. Hugs for you, grits

and may Mousie enjoy her time at the Rainbow Bridge.

[BumRushDaShow]

32. She will always be with you forever.

[dipsydoodle]

33. So sorry to hear that.

[Vinca]

34. I'm so sorry. There's nothing sadder than losing a beloved, furry, family member.

[cordelia]

35. Deepest condolences.

Mousie was loved; you were, too.

[66 dmhlt]

36. So sorry to hear this. May the warm, loving memories you have of her ...

Be a balm for your sorrow.

I see she was almost 17 years old - that's very old for a cat. It reflects well on the loving care you provided her - especially just before she set out for the Rainbow Bridge.

I hope she'll get a chance to play with my Sneakers and Rion ... they'll show her around, I'm sure.

[Fumesucker]

37. <<< Hugs >>>

Poor kitty.

Very difficult.

Best to you.

45. Safe passage Mousie -

and please say hi to Cocoa for me - I haven't seen him for years but he was the coolest tomcat ever so I know you will gravitate towards him.

[Gothmog]

46. I am so sorry for your loss

May Mousie rest in peace

[malaise]

47. Well you sure made her as comfortable as possible

in those last days.

[atreides1]

48. My Condolences.

I'm Still Here

Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day
and within your heart I long to stay.

My body is gone but I'm always near.
I'm everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart
as long as you keep me alive in your heart.

I'll never wander out of your sight-
I'm the brightest star on a summer night.
I'll never be beyond your reach-
I'm the warm moist sand when you're at the beach.

I'm the colorful leaves when fall comes around
and the pure white snow that blankets the ground.
I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond,
The clear cool water in a quiet pond.

I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the spring,
The first warm raindrop that April will bring.
I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine,
and you'll see that the face in the moon is mine.

When you start thinking there's no one to love you,
you can talk to me through the Lord above you.
I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees,
and you'll feel my presence in the soft summer breeze.

I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep
and the beautiful dreams that come while you sleep.
I'm the smile you see on a baby's face.
Just look for me, friend, I'm everyplace!

These past few days have been so difficult and heart-breaking for you I am sure. But you have re-enforced what a great pet owner like yourself looks like. Mousie and the rest of us are the better for that.

My sincere condolences...but what a magnificent life Mousie had! Seventeen years of love and companionship is a treasure. Thank you so much for your posts about her...even the sad ones. I hope it helped with your loss to post them...it certainly helped me during a bit of a rough pass to read about her (and I hugged my Spookie kitty...who seemed nonplussed by it all).

I have had to make that sad decision for my furbabies. I tell myself that enabling them to pass peacefully without prolonged pain and sufferng was the last best gift I could give them. It still hurts like hell and even years later I still love and miss them. But I mostly remember the good times.

Grief is so hard. I've been there too. I know it's a natural part of life, but that doesn't make it any easier.
All you can do right now is be in pain and cry oceans of tears......and know this part doesn't last forever.


Your baby is sending you love; she's pure happy energy now.....

And when you are ready, she may just send a furrbaby in need of love your way.

[bobduca]

111. So sorry

I had to euthanize one of my cats at 11 last year. It was the right decision, as he was in a lot of pain, but still one of the most painful decisions ever.

[3catwoman3]

112. Not too long ago...

...I read an interesting item that gave me pause. The thought expressed was that when we open our hearts to an animal, we do so knowing that, most likely, we will outlive that beloved furry family member.

I had never really thought about that, but it is certainly true. Even though I now am more aware of that perspective, I know it would never stop me from welcoming another kitty into the fold. They each provide so much joy.

Mousie obviously brought you great joy. I hope you get to experience that again when the time is right and a worthy successor finds you. When we have said goodbye to one and hello to another, that is how I think of them - successors. There are, of course, no replacements.

132. Oh, I'm so sorry to hear this, but you did the right thing. I have my kittie by me that

had to go through much the same. He and Mousie might even be playing together now. And his little case says, "Until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge," which we will. He's very sad for you, but just welcomed Mousie.

[calimary]

144. Damn. Sorry to hear this.

Damn. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry!!!! I'm remembering now when Ernie, our beloved and quirky tuxedo cat, went over.

Mousie will probably run into my Mousetrap up there. He was my cat from when I was nine years old and he was a rescue kitten. Lived to a ripe old age and then just disappeared - didn't come home one night. You know what that usually means. Mousetrap was a gorgeous silky black long-haired grand duke of a cat - with these big sexy tufts of fur between each of his toes. Had to have Persian or some such in his bloodlines somewhere. As a kitten his tail was as bald as a rat's tail. But when his fur grew in he had a huge, rich, fern-like, luxuriously furry tail that reminded me of the fans with which slaves would fan the Pharaoh. Haughty and elegant, and a world-class mouser. Maybe the two of them will compare their naming stories? Ours came from a joke book for kids - "spell 'mousetrap' in three letters. Answer: C-A-T." STILL MISS THAT CAT!!!!

Heck, I miss 'em all when they leave me!

Hopefully, Mousie will meet Ernie, Mousetrap, Tasha, Rao, and so many others who've left us behind and made the jump to light speed.

[bread_and_roses]

146. The guy who does the commentary on Peoples Court

says always adopt shelter animals because, he says, "They know what you did for them and they will repay you a hundred times over."

He is right, of course, and the important part of what he says is, "They know what you did for them."

216. Sorry, Grits.

It is hard to let them go.
They teach us so much.

Show me a man/woman who has a healthy, loving relationship with his critters,
and I will show you a friend on mine.

Always enjoy your posts.

218. I'm sorry -

I've been there - it's very difficult. You did your best for her.

219. I know the feeling all too well

I'll probably never get over the loss of Kitty. Yeah, that was her name, it just fit her. She was the love of my life.

My wife and I have four kitties now, all of them like our own flesh. But it's awful to lose someone you love so much.

I remember telling myself at one time, I'd rather take the pain myself than have her suffer.

The pix of mousie: adorable. Why don't they live longer.......?

Strength and Courage to you.

I think I'll go hug my boys now.

220. So very sorry; it's so incredibly painful

I know she was glad you stayed with her. She knew she was loved. I'm going to go hug my Claire, who has cancer, and check on the four "strays" I trapped this week. May they all find wonderful homes like Mousie had!

221. Go in peace, Mousie.

Condolences, AGG.

It never feels like the right time to say goodbye to a friend.

222. rip mousie

223. Mousie will be waiting for you on the other side of the rainbow bridge.

Mousie kitty will make new friends and will be happy as happy as possible, but will be waiting for you.

You have been a very good kitty mommie.

I've lost kitties and a puppy, and it is so hard. People who never have pets don't understand just how close those furry friends are.

But Mousie is feeling fine and is a better place--waiting for you.

I hope Mousie gets to know my kitties Beanie and Goldie. I think that they'd be nice friends for Mousie.

224. I will hug my kitty for both of you. There is nothing that makes it

better. I do remember feeling my dogs around me when they left. Toe nails on the wood floors at night when no one was there. A wet nose on my bare leg in the wash room. She is with you and will never leave. Animals make this world bearable. Hugs to you and your family. I am so sorry. Listen and she will let you know she's still there.

225. I'm so sorry.

Hope she is enjoying chasing the thistledown on the other side.

227. so sorry. i had a cat named mousie

who crossed the rainbow bridge 9/97. i still miss him.

[Manifestor_of_Light]

228. So sorry, Grits. It hurts when we lose our pets since they are part of the family.

i've been a dog person all my life.

But as of about 2 and a half years ago, I became a cat person. I am now owned by three cats, much to my surprise.

PEACE to MOUSIE

229. I still miss my cat

It's been 27 years since my cat died. She always slept with me.
To this day, sometimes when I'm half awake or half asleep, I can sense her curled up next to my chest as I lie in bed.
Whenever I'd roll over to sleep on my other side, she'd always hop over me to lie again next to my chest, I think hearing my heart beat.
