So sorry you had to make the most horrible decision we ever have to make but I am sure it was the right one and Tiffy was able to go to the Bridge with dignity thanks to you.

RIP Tiffy.

I can't read that poem yet.

I break down when I try.

but thank you for posting it.

You are right Maddiesmum. I have been left with all the pain Tiffy had but he is in peace now.

Your tribute to beautiful Tiffy brought tears to my eyes. Bless you for loving him so much and giving him that last unselfish gift. He has taken a piece of your heart with him and you have released him from pain and taken that pain for yourself. RIP Tiffy

Oh yeah i can see the ball now in the 3rd pic

Yes his face is sweet in the 1st pic.....is he revving up on the ball ?
He seems to be concentrating on something

Philip · « **Reply #17 on:** September 16, 2008, 23:08:22 PM »

No he was "meowing"

He wanted to know where the toy went.

I love the look on his face in the first picture. It makes me laugh.

They are lovely pics Philip

Is Tiffy having a go at someone in the 2nd pic ?

Philip · « **Reply #15 on:** September 16, 2008, 22:13:09 PM »

Some of my favourite pictures of my special boy. He was 16 when I took these.

Dear Tiffy.

When I was 16 I lost my dad. I planted a seed in the ground and cried tears of sadness. Those tears of sadness made the seed grow and you were born.

I have spent many happy years with you. Even though there have been many, it was still too short a time. It would have been however long we had together.

Now it was you're time to go. Like a flower in autumn, the flowers and leaves dropped and the cycle of life turned full circle.

I have tears of sadness again, but I understand you haven't left me. The cycle of life still goes on all around me. The fires in you're eyes lights up in mine.

Please wait for me. Because one day I will be with you again. It's not my time quite yet. I have still much to do and learn. I have to continue the work you and my other fur babes inspire me to do. I still have lots of love to give others. I know you will understand.

God bless you my special baby.

You're daddy xxx

I'm so very sorry to see this thread. I read the thread about Tiffy and the decision you were facing. Such a difficult thing to face. Tiffy was a very beautiful cat but his eyes look so sad in those last pictures.

Lots of hugs from the fourfurballs and hope Tiffy is having a wonderful time on the Bridge. xx

Philip looking at the photos i think you made the right decision

You are right, there is a saddness in his eyes.

That saddness has now been lifted by your love and kindness xxx

Tiffy, Send Daddy a sign to let him know You have reached the Bridge and that he did the right thing xxxx

I haven’t left

I sat on your bed last night
I came to have a peep,
I could see that you were crying
and you found it hard to sleep,

I Purred to you softly
as you brushed away a tear,
its me’ I haven’t left you, I’m well
I’m fine, I’m here,

I was close to you at breakfast
I watched you pour your tea,
you were thinking of the many times
your hands reached out to me,

I walked with you towards the house
as you fumbled for your key,
I gently put my Paw on you
I smiled and said 'its me'

you looked so very tired
and sank into a chair,
I tried so hard to let you know
that I was standing there,

its possible for me to be
so near to you every day,
to say to you with certainty
I never went away,

you sat there very quietly then smiled
I think you knew,
in the stillness of the evening
I was very close to you,

now the day is over.....I Purr
and watch you yawning,
and say good night, god bless,
i'll see you in the morning,

and when the time is right for you
to cross the brief divide,
i'll rush across to greet you
and we'll stand side by side,

I have so many things to show you
there is so much for you to see,
be patient, live your journey out
then come home to be with me.

So very sorry for your loss Philip

It's such a hard decision to make and know how you must be feeling although releasing him from discomfort was certainly a kindness. Once again we are going thru the same thing at the same time. Hope you are finding the furries are providing as much comfort as ours are. Tiffy had such a long and happy life with you. Take care.

Tiffy x

I'm so sorry, Philip.

What a fighter Tiffy was - three years with such a serious illness.

Tiffy, you'll always be loved.

Philip · « **Reply #1 on:** September 15, 2008, 21:59:44 PM »

Sadly, I lost my 19 year old Tiffy today.

He gently fell asleep in my arms at 18.45.

He had CRF for 3 years and with my vets help in teaching me to give subcutaneous fluids, I was able to keep him stable until 4 days ago

A very special cat. He had been in my life through so many highs and lows.

He was loving and gently. Always pleased to see me.

Tiffy, I just wanted to say how much I love you and how hard it was today to make that decision. A decision that is so final and cannot be reversed. But I knew you were suffering and I couldn't allow it to continue. I hope you can understand. I wanted you to be free of the pain and sickness you felt.

You took a piece of me with you today. I will never be the same. I will never forget you. You will always be there in my heart. You made me a better person. You showed me unconditional love. A gift that is so precious and treasured. You will always be treasured old friend. Never forgotten. Always there.

God bless you my darling. Play hard at the bridge my special baby.

These photos were taken in the last hour before I took him on his last journey......
