No one deserves to go through the heartache of losing a pet, let alone 5 in one year. You’ve seen her previously in a WW post and her beautiful eyes have graced BlogPaws before… but yesterday I lost Baby Kitty tragically. She was hit by a car. I don’t know how it happened as she was indoors all the time and hated to go outside. I can not understand this at all. She was only 6 years old. May you rest in peace my baby.
Rainbow Bridge
By the edge of a wood, at the foot of a hill, is a lush, green meadow where time stands still. Where the friends of man and woman do run, when their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next, is a place where each beloved creature finds rest. On this golden land, they wait and they lay, till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness, for here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness. Their limbs are restored, their health renewed, their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care, until one day they start, and sniff at the air. All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back, then all of a sudden one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met; Together again both person an pet. So they rush to each other, these friends from long past, the time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart, has turned into joy once more in each heart. They embrace with a love that will last forever, and then side-by-side, they cross over together…

So so sorry for your loss. Her pic looks like my old rescue cat Nala. I used to worry a lot as she roamed everywhere-now she prefers snoozing. Sending virtual hugs. I know the next weeks will be tough but I hope 2014 will be a great new year for you – I’ll be joining you on the weight loss quest X S Talent Hounds

She was gorgeous! I’m so sorry for your loss.
As a new cat owner, that is one of my worse nightmares is that my little Rino escapes outside and gets hurt. So I can’t imagine how you feel.
Stay strong. Thank you so much for your sharing and inspiring.

I am so sorry you have to go through this. I think sudden deaths are the hardest because there is no way to prepare for them. I wish I could make things better but I know I can’t. Please know that I am thinking of you and praying that this will be the last of the sorrow you will have to feel.
Hugs and kisses

Piranha Banana says
I can’t even begin to imagine what you are going through. I want you to know that I am thinking of you. Even if you do not feel the strength and the sadness overcomes you I want you to know that the best gift your baby kitty had in life was you. There could never have been any one else who could have given her the life you did. And what now you might say is next? I think at times people don’t realize that a loss might open the door for another to have a home. Another whose life might be cut short should a home not become available in a shelter. Another who never had a good life to begin with and doesn’t know what that is like. An opportunity to have a happy, loving momma such as you… You cannot replace what was lost, but you can open your heart in honor of that loss and share that love. May the memories of your baby kitty sustain you. WOOF>
Shih Tzu Mommy says
Thank you so much… your words are so comforting.

I hope next year is better… I cant’ have another year like this. This is the hard part about having furkids… they tend to go before you, but this has been to much to handle :'( I hope I can have a great year with the weight loss, it stopped last year due to all my little furkids deaths… I gotta find the strength .
