Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Question
As I'm still quite new in here, could you let me know what you mean by RB or the bridge, when a cat has died - is it a religious term, only I've never heard it said before. Just wondering - thanks.

The image of a bridge joining Heaven and Earth that the dead must cross is found in many religions. SignatureT.E.D.

Just wondering - thanks. The FAQ for this group (which needs some updating) can be found at http://www.angelfire.com/mt/yowie/catfaq.htm It explains many of the terms we use. Sorry about the pop-ups, I'll get around to moving it to a real web page one day. Others have adequately answered what Rainbow Bridge means, so I won't repeat it.

Just wondering - thanks. I guess it is technically religious, since many folks here believe animals have souls, but it's a religious term a whole bunch of different religions agree on :) --Fil (one of the resident Wiccans) |
