Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2004Skeeter RB
Skeeter has made the trip to the Rainbow Bridge. For the past several days, she would eat only if I put a few pieces of dry food in front of her. She still ate very little, and later she threw up everything she had eaten. She was getting progressively weaker. Last night, rather than spend the night on my bed, as she had been doing, she chose to hide in the closet. This morning I had some medical tests, and since I was put out, my daughter came to drive me for the tests. This afternoon, after holding Skeeter on my lap for a while, my daughter drove us to the vet for that last trip. I was glad my daughter was here, so I could hold Skeeter in the car rather than putting her in the carrier. Thanks again to Gennie for bringing the supplies to me. The needles you brought were smaller than the ones I had, and made the last two infusions easier. One of my daughter's cats is getting up in years and recently tested borderline for CRF, so I gave her the supplies to have on hand. Thanks to everyone for the purrs, prayers, and good wishes. I can't write any more right now. Joy > Skeeter has made the trip to the Rainbow Bridge. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Joy Oh Joy, I am so sorry :( Many purrs and hugs.

SignatureVictor Martinez Owned and operated by the Fantastic Seven (TM) Send your spam here: uce@ftc.gov Email me here: pistorLITTER@BOXaustin.rr.com Dear Joy, I am so sorry to hear this, after all you've done for Skeeter to keep her strong and improver her quality of life. She is now a youthful catspirit in the place where it is always summer, and it wouldn't surprise me if little Hannah Eve would be the first one to welcome her, to have a friend and playmate in the Heavens. I am glad that you got to be there with Skeeter. I had to give my Fritzie infusions for nearly two years; and since he was a young cat, my constant prayer was that when his time came, he not go alone. My prayer was answered in that I got fired from my day job the day before we had to take him to the vet, and he went to the skies purring as we said our prayers and the vet did her humane duty. Skeeter surely must have known the comfort and joy in her last moments, of her dear companion being there. Purrs and prayers from us all, that you be strong and find healing. Blessed be, Baha > Skeeter has made the trip to the Rainbow Bridge. > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > > Joy I'm so sorry Joy. Purrs and hugs, SignatureBritta Sandpaper kisses, a cuddle and a purr.

You have our most profound sympathy. Skeeter will be greeted at the Bridge by my brother's Samantha and my DeeDee, both of whom went to the Bridge due to CRF. We will be purring for your acheing heart to recover soon. Dan Thank you everybody for the good thoughts, hugs, and purrs. There were so many caring messages, and I'm crying too hard to respond to each individually. Please know that I read and appreciate each one. The love in this group is incredible! I almost didn't post about Skeeter, because Grace's loss, and the others who have lost human loved ones this week, were so terrible, but this group has shown concern about Skeeter, so I felt I should let you all know. Thanks again, everybody. Your sympathy and understanding helps a lot. Joy > Thank you everybody for the good thoughts, hugs, and purrs.

It is devastating to lose someone you love, whether or not they are covered in fur, and when the loss is *yours* to bear then it is the most devastating thing in the world to you. Also, you mentioned that you were single and dealing with Skeeter's illness on your own. Well, you need a support group around you right now, and even though we can't hug you in person to help you mourn for your loss, we can send cyber hugs, tears, warm thoughts and lots and lots of purrs to help you through your grief. And we can be here for you when you are ready to write about Skeeter and the life you had together.

Poor Skeeter. It sounds as though you both held on as long as you could. Her final days were good ones, spending time with you, and with her favorite spots. >Skeeter has made the trip to the Rainbow Bridge. Both of you fought the good fight as the loving team you have always been. And you both knew when to surrender; to take the last journey of this life. Some day you will take another journey together to start a new life beyond the Bridge. Until that day comes, may your memories and loving friends console you.

The last time I held her on my lap in the living room, where se laid so many times, she laid crossways at first, as she always did. Then she turned to face me, and looked intently into my face for a minute or two. I had a feeling she was telling me it was time to let her go.

My lady friend had decided a 14-year-old cat was getting tired of life. I disagreed, and indeed offered to take him -- but, of course, I didn't see him all day. When she took him on the last trip to the vet, he didn't complain at all as he usually did, purred constantly as he had not done in a while, and cuddled almost joyously, not flinching in the slightest when the needle went in -- and then the purring suddenly stopped. From the knowledge I had, I wouldn't have done it, but it sounds like Sugar felt it was time. >> >Skeeter has made the trip to the Rainbow Bridge. >> > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Joy ">>>Rise up slowly, Angel.
