Flippy - 06 Feb 2007 05:10 GMT
Dear All,

Our sweet Tiffany (aka Tiffy) passed away today, Feb 6th, at 1:05pm.

Tiffy had Chronic Renal Failure and she had been ill for the past 6 weeks or
so. She hadn't eaten or drank anything on her own for several days. She was
surviving on assisted feeding by syringe. Last night her legs were weak, and
by this morning she was very wobbly and nauseous and could not stand. The
renal failure had reached a point where she could only have survived on
constant IV and hospitalization. Even so, she would have held on for another
day or a week at most.

We didn't want Tiffy to have to go to hospital, again, for the 4th time in 6
weeks. The Vet came to the house and he helped her drift peacefully away
while she was in bed with us, between the sheets, where she loved to be.

We will miss her terribly. We will miss her gorgeous face and sweet nature.
We only had three and a half years with her, but we were blessed to have her
in our lives.

During the next few days/weeks I will write a memorial for her. I will send
you the link when it is ready.

<<Rest In Peace, sweet Squishy-Face. We love you very much, and will always
remember you. Please give Romeo a kiss for us when you see him.>>

Please give each of your kitties a hug for me.

Hugs & purrs to all,
Flippy & Mia in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm so very sorry to hear this news. I vividly remember your first  post
about the beautiful, odd-eyed white Persian, Tiffany.

Purrs on the way for an easy trip to the bridge, and to ease your and
Mia's pain.

I have lit a candle in my special candle holder, in the shape of a
sleeping cat. It will burn all night.

Lend Me A Kitten

I will lend to you for a while
a kitten, God said.
For you to love while he lives,
and mourn when he's dead.

Maybe for twelve or fourteen years,
or maybe two or three.
But will you, 'till I call him back,
take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you
and should his stay be brief,
you'll always have his memories
as solace for your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay,
since all from earth return.
But there are lessons taught below
I want this kitten to learn.

I've looked the whole world over
in search of teachers true,
And from the folk that crowds life's land
I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love,
nor think the labor vain?
Nor hate me when I come to take
my kitten home again?

And my heart replied,
"My Lord, Thy Will Be Done."
For all the joys this kitten brings,
the risk of grief I'll run.

We'll shelter him with tenderness,
we'll love him while we may.
And for the happiness that we've known,
forever grateful stay.

But should you call him back
much sooner than we planned,
We'll brave the bitter grief that comes,
and try to understand.

If by our love we've managed
your wishes to achieve,
in memory of his sweet sweet love,
please help us while we grieve.

When our cherished kitten
departs this world of strife,
Please send yet another needing soul
for us to love all his life.

I had not found this NG when Feather went to the Bridge but someone in
another NG sent me this poem. It is a beautiful statement, goes right
up there with Kipling's poem about giving your heart for a dog to
tear.

<<<Floppy>>>>>Hugs and tears for your grief and for Tiffy's sorrow at
leaving you. She is either already waiting at the Bridge or off on
some adventure that no one here can anticiapate or understand but I am
sure her thoughs right now are of her beloved staff who took care of
her needs so well.

Our own white Persian, Winnie, sends his purrs especially but the
whole gang joins in, even Bear the Lab and Buddy Parrot.

Oh Flippy, I am so sorry to hear that Tiffy has crossed RB.  It sounds
like
she crossed peacefully though, which is always a blessing.  Hugs and
purrs of comfort to you and Mia.  It is so hard when it is time for
our furry
friends to leave us.

I adopted one of my foster kitties this year.  She also has kidney
failure and
is about 10 years old.  She can be a grumpy girl, but also can be a
total
sweetheart.  I hope we'll have some good years together yet.

My thoughts are with you.

We're so sorry to hear about your loss of Tiffy. It's the one tragedy
of
having cats in your home and your life - their little lifespans are so
much
shorter than ours, you know that someday you'll have to say goodbye.
Try to
be consoled by the fact that you gave Tiffy a wonderful life while she
was
with you. I think it's why I try to do so much not only for our three
kitties, but for Mooch, our little stray. It's to give them, and
especially
Mooch, the best life possible.

You never forget your cats when they lived on this plane of existence.
I
still think constantly of dear Bobby (who also died of renal failure),
of
Fattybum, of Herbie. Even of Pieface, my cat when I was a young boy
many years ago. I still have a photo of him on my office wall.
Thinking of both of you at this time of your loss.
