okay, everybody go hug your cat/dog
My nineteen year old calico cat is dying this afternoon-evening-night whenever nature lets her go.

She's not in pain; she's just very old.

Send vibes for a peaceful crossing for this wonderful old gal, Figgy.

3. love those head bumps!
My other elder cat passed away last Thanksgiving. Now I've got no one to love me as they did! We do have a younger cat, but there's something about a decades-long companionship that is incomparable.

2. Give Figgy a message for me.
Tell her to find Cooper the basset and give him my love.

I am sending you my good vibes, wire. I'm so sorry.

4. bye bye kitty
know that you were loved....there's a tear in this cat lover's eye, not for you (you live in a state of grace), but for your owner....

I am so sorry. Dying painlessly from old age and not illness does not make it any easier for those of us left behind. May she go peacefully and may you find peace after her passing. It is just so very hard. I am sorry.

19. Hugs for Figgy
My thirteen and a half year old German Shepherd made the trip on Friday. There are no words . . . hugs are the best help.

Now I need another box of Kleenex . . . .

21. rainbow bridge
Every time I get misty eyes over one of my deceased pets I read that poem and it reminds me of their happy,healthy days and that now they can once again romp and play with their animal friends. May you find comfort in knowing you had a huge part in your cat living such a wonderfully long time.
