Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2003In times of deepest despair...
When I hurt the most, cry the most, love the most, I come here - to you, the cat people, who understand what it is to lose a friend. Today I said goodbye to Mr Fast, my grey tabby boy, aged 20. He came into my life at about one year old, he moved into my garden then into my heart. He was timid at first, I threw cat treats to him through the window. Gradually, we would sit together on the back step, as I gave him food. I took him to the vet for the 'snip' - he put his paws around my neck when I went to collect him. Mr Fast outlived many of my fur people but age caught up with him - first he lost all his teeth, then his kidneys became a problem, then he became deaf - over the last week or so it was apparent he was going blind. My lovely grey tabby boy was walking into doors and getting lost in the house. After much soul-searching I analysed on his behalf 'quality of life'. Four hours ago, I cried while Mr Fast left this world. I would like the thank the Veterinary profession for being here to help us to ease our friends from their pain and confusion - I waited while Mr Fast fell into the endless sleep and peace he needed. Dusty will miss him, she loved to curl up next to him. I will miss him - he was my eldest boy, my constant cat. Rest well, my Fast... I love you > When I hurt the most, cry the most, love the most, I come here - to you, > the cat people, who understand what it is to lose a friend.

I'm so sorry. > > Karen Thank you, Karen, through my tears, and with one elbow at an odd angle as I type because it rests upon Bagster's head -why can cats NOT leave us alone while we are on the puter? I will never be without the love of a cat - (I peg them up on the clothesline by the ears until they mew 'I love you') All of my fur people have been special and have a place in my heart. When I reach the Rainbow Bridge I will be bowled over by the cranky old lady Belle, my first ever cat Whiskers, my second cat Dewey, the old grumpy man Humphrey, the pillow - hog Zaphod, the 'cat stalked by birds '- Sam, the most broken and patched up ever cat Villain, the timidest Muffin, the bossiest Sascha, my wonderful Max, the Imperial Princess Buki, Earth Mother Sherry, and my sweet Mr Fast. They have all left me to grieve and mourn their passing. Which leaves me with the 'cat-with-no-tail' Bagster, the crazy Dusty and introducing (11 months old) Boopie Nana Girl (okay her real name is Sally) who sleeps on my pillow and lets me hold her paw in my fingers until I fall asleep. Thank you, Karen Kathy > Thank you, Karen, through my tears, and with one elbow at an odd angle as > I type because it rests upon Bagster's head -why can cats NOT leave us alone > while we are on the puter? Because they love us and want to make sure we're not visiting naughty sites or downloading music illegally or talking to strangers. I am sorry for your loss. There is nothing that ever makes up for it.  Signaturehttp://www.mindspring.com/~slywy/ http://slywy.diaryland.com/ >Today I said goodbye to Mr Fast, my grey tabby boy, aged 20. Oh, Kathy, I'm so sorry. Please accept my deepest, heartfelt sympathy. Our kitties send their most tender purrs for Mr Fast's journey to the RB. You gave him a wonderful, happy life and a kind and gentle passing, and I hope your loving memories of him will soon ease the ache in your heart. Jeanne "~Kathy~" <tabbicat22nospam@optusnet.com.au> wrote > Rest well, my Fast... I love you Our sincerest condolences on your loss, and purrs to ease the pain. -- Marina, Frank and Nikki Death is a gift, Kathy. To a body destroyed by accident, ravaged by disease, or exhausted by age, death is a release of the soul, a renewal to go bounding forth with new energy into another world of discovery, Old friends and family found, new friends made. I think the problem, such as it is, lays with us, those remaining, who have a somewhat selfish view about it. I'm sorry you miss your buddy, but, not meaning to sound callused about it, would you deny your friend the new experience, at the cost of remaining with you? As a caring person, I think not. You might as well cheer up, Mr. Fast is likely doing just fine at the moment, but concerned about you being in the dumps. Jack >Rest well, my Fast... I love you He was very lucky to have you. I will keep you both in my prayers I am so sorry for your loss. Twenty years is a good long life...he is just as much a part of your family as the humans are. I know you'll miss him dreadfully. I hope you are able to celebrate his life and remember him with only joy and fondness soon.

Pam, Rob, and the NC nine So sorry to hear that you had to make the ultimate gift of love to Mr Fast, No matter how long we have them, those special cats leave a bog hole when they leave.

[quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > > Rest well, my Fast... I love you Many purrs to you and Fast. I'm sure when you cross the bridge, he will be scurrying his fast little tushie over to you as quickly as he can. I haven't had the opportunity to be owned for that long by a pet, but i certainly hope to! Thanks so much for aknowledging the vets and techs at your clinic. We really do care about your pets, and often are almost as sad to see them go as you are. Especially when its a client who's been with us for years. Kristy SignatureThe older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends. That was a beautiful tribute Kathy. I am very sorry to hear about your loss and, of course, the loss of Dustys mate. We are all purring for his safe crossing of the RB. I am sure that he will be eagerly greeted when he gets there.

[quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Rest well, my Fast... I love you Mr Fast was surely a beutiful cat, and the world is a lesser place without him. You love for him shone through this wonderful tribute, so much so that i findmyself crying for the loss of a cat that I've never met. He will be in excellent company at Rainbow Bridge. My deepest condolences, and comforting purrs. We'll light a candle tonight in Mr Fast's memory. Yowie > When I hurt the most, cry the most, love the most, I come here - to you, > the cat people, who understand what it is to lose a friend. [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Rest well, my Fast... I love you Beautiful tribute, Kathy. May the sad thoughts of his passing be soon replaced by happy thoughts of your times with him. Sam My heart goes out to you, Kathy. Never doubt that you performed the most faithful and loyal act of friendship you could give your Mr. Fast. We had an orange tabby named Frodo that we did the same for at age 20. Making that decision was the hardest thing to do but I have never doubted that I did the right thing for my friend. Hopefully, you can look back at the long years of happiness you shared together and treasure those wonderful memories. with purrs and hugs, Christine, Omar, Midnight, Oreo, Robin & Tucker > When I hurt the most, cry the most, love the most, I come here - to you, > the cat people, who understand what it is to lose a friend.
