I'm so sorry for your loss. Jack looks like a great cat - I have always loved tiger-striped cats. We had a cat named Tiger that looked like Jack, and I still miss him. Pets don't stay in our lives nearly long enough.
I understand this pain, time will erase the hurt and only the happy memories will stay. Sending you hugs, my friend, take comfort in knowing how much your precious pet was loved, he knew that too!
So sorry for the loss of your dear Jack. When I opened this post I thought "O'Malley?"Jack looks just like my O'Malley, who at 12 is beginning to slow down considerably. I am starting to have 'those" thoughts about his longevity. Remember how sweet Jack was. He will wait for you, I know this.
Just remember, you did what was best for him. I struggled one time with one of my kitties. I kept hoping she would die at home, in my lap. Then my husband said "Are you doing this for you or for her?" I knew it was time to do what needed to be done. I firmly believe that it is hard for the ones left behind but the ones that have passed are now comfortable and at peace. Warm Hugs, Toni
Oh, Pam, I'm so terribly sorry for your loss. Jack left his pawprints on your heart and will definitely be waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge. ((HUGS))
My heart goes out to you Pam. I have had to make that same decision (for the same reason) and I know how hard it is. Jack is now no longer suffering and keep that in mind and treasure the joy he brought to you.
So sorry for your loss. I've got four critters at home (2 cats, two dogs) and I am dreading when they pass. One of the dogs has a growth on his leg, so I don't know how long 'll have him with me, but I treasure all the extra moments right now.
Oh I knew this post was coming soon. I am so, so very sorry. Cherish the memories. And he can keep company with my fur baby on the Rainbow Bridge. Huge hugs.
So sorry to hear about your Jack. He looks so much like my Teddy. I know they are playing together at the Rainbow Bridge.I think about my Teddy every day and know he isn't having pain any more.You will always have memories of Jack. Hold on to these.
I'm so very sorry! I know your Jack is playing with my Savannah, who was also the world's best (or maybe second best next to Jack) cat. I think we'll be surprised at all the pets waiting for us someday. Maybe that's why they go before us, to be our welcoming committee. I know Jack is happy and well, surrounded by love and lots of kitty friends. Enjoy all the memories you have of him. Joan
I have an Old English Sheepdog named Daisy at the Bridge who loves cats and will watch out for Jack. Lily, our other OES, loved them as well. I can't imagine what homecomings we are all going to have with our dear friends and companions on the Rainbow Bridge. Jack will be so happy and feel young and frisky again. He will love it. And God bless you for taking care of and loving him so much. It's hard to lose such good friends that never turn on you and that you can always count on for love.
I am so sorry for the loss of your Jack. It is hard to lose a furry, faithful friend. Our shephard mix Lady is aging before our eyes and really slowing down...it is hard to see but I am grateful to help/comfort/love her during her golden years. Blessings to you and your family.
so sorry for your loss of beloved Jack...

ReplyDeleteI do feel certain that Jack is all right now - and that he'll be waiting at the Bridge for you.
