Good morning: I am sad to announce that my 15 year old cat, Holley, passed over the Rainbow Bridge yesterday. She had been very ill for several months. She had kidney failure and problems with her blood. She had lost alot of weight, and had basically stopped eating. My mom and I talked it over, and we decided that it was time for Holley to go be with my Grandma. We had the vet humanely escort her over the Bridge yesterday afternoon. Later in the evening, my brothers came over and helped us bury her in the back yard under some bushes. Holley was a good cat, and never seemed to mind if I accidently ran over her tail with my chair every once in a while. Rest in piece, Holly. We will miss you, but now you are with Grandma.

Aww Kim, sorry for your loss. Maybe get another cat sooner rather than later. They say that helps most people, a lot.

Holley was a pretty cool cat. She would always come up and say hi when I got to Kim's house. When I started back after my medical leave it was rather funny because she came over and started "yelling" at me...like she was upset I had been away so long. She spent a few days following me around the house, even trying to come into the bathroom with me a few times. I think she was afraid I would go away again if I was out of her sight.

Kim, I'm so sorry. I wish I'd seen this earlier than this too. It's awful to lose a pet that's been with us a long time. I'm really glad you helped her, and I know she is too......Like newbie said, I bet she couldn't have had a better life than the one she had with you. Be thankful you made her life interesting, fun, secure, and full of love.....I bet she is!

Thank you for the nice thoughts. Here is something Marie found for me that I really like. It says it well. God Asked the Feline Spirit And God asked the feline spirit "Are you ready to come home?" "Oh, yes, quite so," replied the precious soul. "And as a cat, you know I am most able To decide anything for myself." "Are you coming then?" asked God "Soon," replied the whiskered angel. "But I must come slowly My human friends are troubled For You see, they need me, quite certainly." "But don't they understand?" asked God, "That you will never leave them? That your souls are intertwined, for all eternity, That nothing is created or destroyed, It just is... forever and ever and ever?" "Eventually they will understand," replied the cat, "For I will whisper in their hearts - that I am always with them I just am... forever and ever and ever." Author Unknown THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT I, Holley, because of the burden of my illness, realize that the end of my life is near…and so I hereby bury my Last Will and Testament in the heart of my friend. She will not know it is there until some time after my death. Then, remembering me in her sadness, she will know of this testament. I ask her, then, to inscribe it as a memorial to me. I have little in the way of material things to leave. Cats are much wiser than men. We do not set great value upon things. I have only my love and magic to bequeath. These I leave to all those who have loved me, and especially to my friend, who I know will mourn me the most. Perhaps it is vain of me to boast when I am so near to the Gate through which we must all, one day, pass but I have always been an extremely special and distinguished cat! I ask my friend to remember me always but not to grieve for me too long. In my life I have given her comfort in time of sorrow and a reason for added joy in her life. It is painful for me to think that even in death I should cause her pain. Let her remember that no cat was ever happier but I have grown ill and pained. It is time to say “Good-bye”. It will be a great sadness to leave her but not a sorrow to die. I accept this part of the journey as a natural part of life…not something alien and terrible which destroys life. What will come to me after death? Who knows? … But I would like to think that I will be joined by companions I’ve known in life. I will romp about in mice-filled fields with those who have gone before me. Every hour is mealtime and there is always a little brook with fresh running water. I will spend long evenings in front of fireplaces with logs forever burning and curl up with memories of the old days on earth and the love of my special person. This is much to expect but peace is certain…and a long rest for these weakened limbs will be welcome. One last request I make. I ask her, for the love of me, to have another. It would be a poor tribute to my memory not to have a cat in her life. I have never had a narrow spirit and have always held that most cats are good (some dogs, too!). Some cats are better than others, of course…like me! And, so, I suggest another of similar background but others could be suitable, too. No cat can be as distinguished and handsome as I was but she must not ask the impossible. He will do his best and even his inevitable defects will help to keep my memory ever green. To him, I’ve left my green chaise lounge and my place in the garden window which I loved so much and wish him long, sunny afternoons of snoozing and bird watching. A few last words of farewell, Dear Heart. I have loved you completely and no matter how deep I sleep I shall hear you. Remember always that Angels are not allowed to show their wings on earth, but there’s no rule against whiskers! Barbara Meyers © Copyright Barbara Meyers 1996 Revised 2002

I'm really sorry to hear about your cat, Kim. I'm sure she had a better life having lived with you, and she realized how much you loved her.
