Rest in Peace, Spartacus
You left my life just like you entered it, with beauty, grace and class. I'll miss you immensely.

1. My condolences
What a beautiful cat he was and I bet he crossed a few superstitious paths.

7. What a beautiful furry friend
I am so sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose our four-legged friends. They are truly full-fledged family members. I know you will miss Spartacus a lot. He's probably running and playing with my Ferg now!

18. What a beautiful sentiment...other words would ring ...
hollow by comparison. Next time you are anxious about the future, think about this: Even though youcan't see him, Spartacus is checking out the way to make sure it is safe for you, always just out of sight. Condolences and hugs from Nick, DC, Pooky, and Tootsie

19. (((HUGS)))
"Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food and water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing: they miss someone very special to them; who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. The bright eyes are intent; the eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to break away from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. YOU have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together......."

22. so sorry Susan
Grieve not,
nor think of me with tears
But laugh
and talk to me as if I were beside you.
I loved you so . . .
'Twas Heaven here with you

29. I'm sure he brought you much joy
There is a heaven for cats. It's a big kitchen where someone is always cooking and dropping the good stuff on the floor.

RIP Spartacus

30. MissMillie
What you wrote made me smile as I remembered spilling an entire plate of spaghetti (with sauce) on the floor and how my late kitty Fergus was there to pounce on it!

31. To Love Again
To Love Again
Oh what unhappy twist of fate
Has brought you homeless to my gate,
The gate where once another stood
To beg for shelter warmth and food?

For from that day I ceased to be
The master of my destiny,
While she, with purr and velvet paw
Became within my house the law.

She scratched the furniture and shed
And claimed the middle of my bed,
She ruled in arrogance and pride
And broke my heart the day she died.

So if you really think, oh cat
I'd willingly relive all that,
Because you come forlorn and thin
Well don't just stand there - come on in!

36. I'm sorry, Susan.
I saw in your eyes how much you loved him when you were talking about the poor little guy a few weeks ago. It's amazing how much they affect us, isn't it? Even when my little guy gets mad and craps behind the sofa, I still can't hold a grudge. Especially when he falls asleep purring on my chest.

My condolences. <sends a hug>

38. One soul leaves, another arrives
RIP Spartacus.

And when you are done grieving, you'll go ou and find another little kitty...and the cycle will begin anew.
