Some times it takes longer for the pain to subside and I am sure Spot is watching over you and his friend Gus

Gradually over the years the hurt lessens and the happy memories take over

On 18th April this year it was exactly a year since i lost my precious cat Spot. I shed some tears for him on that day as i could remember how painful it was to have to let him go as if it were only yesterday.

Even now i find it hard to take more than a glance at his photo as it still cuts me like a knife. Time is a great healer but for some reason his passing is so difficult. I think it`s made harder because i see my other cat Gus sitting in hid bed on his own. Although Gus is a very happy cat and has other cats to keep him company i remember how you would hardly ever see him and Spot apart.

I still miss you everyday my sweet boy and one day we will meet again i`m sure. You have left your soft paw prints on my heart and that can never be changed. I hope you are playing and having fun at the Bridge. I know in my heart i did everything i could to give you a chance to get better but you had to go and be free.

I love you more than ever, my cat Spot xx

I was adding some recent photos onto the laptop and thought i`d post this.

I still think about him and miss him every day.

sleep easy Spot, free from pain x

Miroslav · « **Reply #18 on:** April 22, 2011, 09:30:56 AM »

That's what we did, without the photo frame.

Enjoy the memories and be proud of what you gave Spot, especially after his first owner gave up on him.

Amanda (mad4moggies) · « **Reply #17 on:** April 21, 2011, 23:36:56 PM »

Hi there. I waited for him to be cremated and took his ashes away the same day. I had them put in a container which is attached to a photo frame. I will pick out a lovely photo of him and hang it on the wall as a keepsake.

Thankyou so much for your kind words.

Miroslav · « **Reply #16 on:** April 21, 2011, 18:34:41 PM »

Sorry for your loss Amanda.

Are you receiving the ashes back and if so have you decided what they will be put in.

Take care, alot of us know how it feels to lose our friends and take as much time as you need to come to terms with this.

Amanda (mad4moggies) · « **Reply #15 on:** April 20, 2011, 21:26:26 PM »

Today i took Spot to be cremated. He looked so peaceful which was lovely to see. I held him one last time and placed some flowers next to him. It was extremely difficult but i`m glad i attended the cremation.

The sense of loss is still so painful and overwhelming at the moment.

Rest in peace my sweet boy, i will never forget you.

oh Amanda I'm sorry to see you posting here at such as sad time

Amanda (mad4moggies) · « **Reply #13 on:** April 19, 2011, 10:11:50 AM »

Weirdly i keep expecting him to walk into the living room. My other cat was so very close to him and he has become quite clingy to me now. I wish i could explain it to him. I am taking Spot to be cremated tomorrow but he will always remain in my heart.

It was so difficult to make the decision when no one could find out why he was ill. I would have done anything to make him better but i feel sure he was telling me in some way that he was too tired to fight anymore.

Thankyou to everyone for your kind words. My heart goes out to anyone who has lost their companion

jezebel · « **Reply #12 on:** April 19, 2011, 09:28:16 AM »

That's so sad.

You did the best you could for him but it doesn't make it any easier, does it?

RIP Spot.

Here is a picture of the little man on the sofa with the dog. It`s not the best photo i have but the others are on my memory stick. The house isn`t the same without him.

RIP my brave boy

Thankyou for your kind words, they mean a lot.

Helen, that poem is lovely. I will print it off and take it with me tomorrow when i have Spot cremated.

The pain i feel in my heart is so bad right now but i suppose that is to be expected. I miss him so much.

Tiggy's Mum · « **Reply #3 on:** April 18, 2011, 20:52:35 PM »

Sorry to hear about Spot, he was such a lucky boy to be saved all those years ago and it sounds like he rewarded you for saving him

RIP Spot, safe and sound at the Bridge by now xx

The Greatest Gift

I always knew this time would come,
From the very instant our eyes first met.
How I loved you then! How I love you now!
I made a promise then, and I will keep that promise now...
You will not suffer from a pain that will not heal;
You will not know the loss of a life remembered, now gone.

It is for me alone to make this decision,
The price for the bright joy and pure laughter
You brought me during the time we shared.
I am the only one who can decide when it is time.
When my hope dies, and my fear rides high,
Just when I need you most, I must let you go.

It is for you alone to tell me when you are ready
For without your guidance, I will not know
When to lay my grief, my guilt, my anger
My sorrow and my selfish heart aside
And give you this last gift, this greatest gift.
Your eyes will speak to mine, and I will know.

The pain of this moment is excruciating.
Tears stream down my face in a river of sorrow.
And my heart drowns in a pool of grief.
For you have spoken and I have listened,
And unlike other decisions I have made
This one brings no relief...no comfort...no peace.

For if there´s one thing you´ve taught me,
If there´s only one thing I´ve learned...
Unconditional love has a condition after all,
I must be willing to let you go, when you speak to me
I must be willing to help you go, if you cannot go alone.
And I must accept my pain so you can be free of yours.

Go easily now, go quickly now,
Do not linger here, it is time for you to leave.
Go find your strength, go find your youth.
Go find the ones who've gone before you.
You are free to leave me now, free to let your spirit soar
Rest easy now, your pain will soon be gone.

I pray I will find comfort in my memories...
In the dark and lonely days ahead.
I cannot say I will not miss you, I cannot say I will not cry.
For only my tears can heal my broken heart.
But, I promise you this; as long as I live,
You will live, alive in my mind, forever in my heart.

So I give you this last gift, all I have left to give,
And this will be my greatest gift...sending you away.
It is the measure of my unconditional love...
For only the greatest love can say,
"Good-bye, go find the bridge, we'll meet again,
Loving you has been the greatest gift of all."

Forever and Always... Until Rainbow bridge....

That kindest gift is so hard. Running pain free at the bridge by now x

My cat Spot was an almost 8 year old black and weight moggie. He came in to my life when his previous owner wanted him put to sleep due to him having a small soft tissue injury on one of his legs when he was 9 months. I was going to foster him whilst the injury was being treated but in the end i couldn`t part with him. The vet thought he would lose his leg but we got there in the end and the wound healed. He was the best cat anyone could wish for.

For the last 3 months he has been battling with an illness that no one could get to the bottom of. Despite seeing 2 specialists they could not find out why he could not keep his food down. Today i decided that i could not let him go through this anymore. He looked at me this morning and his eyes were tired. He had been so brave all the way through and the many vets and nurses that met him throughout his illness loved him instantly. He was due to go to another specialists on Wednesday but we felt it wasnt fair to drag this out for him any longer. I wish i could have found a way to make him better. He was taken from us too soon and we will never forget him. I held him in my arms as the vet gave him the injection, i didn`t want to let him go.

We miss you Spot. Taking you on your last journey to the vets broke my heart but i knew you had had enough of feeling poorly. I wish i could have fixed you so that you could sit on the sofa begging for food once more like you used to. We love you and will never forget you. Run free on the bridge my sweet, sweet boy xxx
