She was ornery and chose her friends sparingly. She brought happiness to Granny and will be missed. 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My condolences, I hope Granny makes it to 102 but she has dementia really bad, so at least she doesn't even know that the cat died. Her mom was 101 and 11 months when she passed. If she makes it to December 13 she will be 102. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1,826 SteelRain_Rifleman Members 3,664 posts 42,448 battles Report post #10 Posted September 12, 2020 My condolences on your loss and to others here. We all lose a pet or loved one quite often as time goes by. I lost my father in 2002, Snoopy, a chow the following year; Lobo, a mastiff mix in 2015; Prancer, a chihuahua that was very promiscuous in 2016; and Katty, a cat (my Mother named her) (last week) after I rescued her from Harvey flooding in 2017. Losing someone you love is really hard and trying each day. But you have to move on. Because the ones you lost would want you to. For those we have lost; *holds glass of Scotch up high. Never forget, because they will never forget you. <o Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really grieved for two weeks. We have since had a new addition in the form of our current feline. She is more of a indoor cat than our last who was indoor outdoor. Really something how they can become a member of the family so quick. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Both of you, my condolences for your losses. For any who may not have heard about the "Rainbow Bridge" legends, I've quoted them below from a ferret enthusiasts website. Quote 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 … ~Author Unknown~ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is an Indian legend which says when a human dies there is a bridge they must cross to enter into heaven. At the head of that bridge waits every animal that human encountered during their lifetime. The animals, based,upon what they know of this person, decide which humans may cross the bridge … and which are turned away … ~Unknown Author~ https://www.all-about-ferrets.com/rainbow-bridge.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
