so lovely Phillip

A beautiful tribute Phillip.
I think I remember when you lost Jemilla, I spent a lot of time posting on catchat at that time, and I believe it was at about the same time I lost one of my beautiful girls.
It is clear that you loved them both very much and they were both very lucky cats to have such a devoted friend.

It is very special

Philip · « **Reply #58 on:** October 14, 2008, 20:09:05 PM »

Yes I did write it.

Its how I felt both when losing Tiffy and Jemilla before.

I know all of you who have been through this will know what I mean.

Thanks all

I didn't expect anyone to read it.

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #54 on:** October 14, 2008, 17:34:17 PM »

That's simply beautiful Philip. Did you write it?

Philip · « **Reply #53 on:** October 14, 2008, 15:55:49 PM »

Its time…

Nothing prepares you for when it’s time.
That moment when you know
All is hopeless
All that’s left is suffering

That sweet head laid low
Eyes looking sullen and sad
You see the signs
But it just can’t be

But it is. It’s time
Suddenly it’s crept up
Not enough warning
Never enough

Its time to be brave
To show how much you really care
To give that final gift of love
That scars you forever

So cherish the time you have
Each sweet moment together
The special bond you have
With one another

Show them how much they mean to you
Appreciation for the unconditional love they give
How beautiful and special they are
Never faulting in their love for you

Because one day. Its time
And although you will never be ready
The memories are there forever
And the bond will never be broken

This is written in memory of all the fur babes
Who we have loved and lost
For as it was once said
It was better to have loved and lost
Than to never have loved at all

I've just read this thread, and so sorry to hear that Tiffy's gone Philip
He was a gorgeous cat, and he had a great life with you.
I know what you're going through though, and i send lots of comforting hugs

I'm so sorry, I've only just seen this thread.

Your tribute to Tiffy was beautiful and brought tears to my eyes, I never realised you could have a memorial service at the crematorium, it sounds like a wonderful idea and the little black urn is lovely. Tiffy was lucky to have such a caring owner.

Philip · « **Reply #50 on:** September 27, 2008, 20:41:50 PM »

Thanks.

I thought the urn being black was appropriate as Tiffy was a black cat. (with white whiskers).

Its sitting next to his sister jemilla's urn so they are together.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #49 on:** September 27, 2008, 20:18:46 PM »

I agree with Michelle. It's lovely.

Michelle (furbabystar) · « **Reply #48 on:** September 27, 2008, 20:12:04 PM »

Oh Philip

Beautiful just beautiful

Philip · « **Reply #47 on:** September 27, 2008, 19:47:05 PM »

Yes that his black urn by his picture.

JackSpratt · « **Reply #46 on:** September 27, 2008, 19:27:01 PM »

Oh, Philip is that little black cat curled up the urn? How beautiful. I'm sure Tiffy was watching over you and saw all you did for him.

Glad it went well for you and Tiffy Philip, his ashes are home forever now. Bet he was watching you from the Bridge and enjoying your music.

Philip · « **Reply #42 on:** September 25, 2008, 21:19:26 PM »

I have Tiffy's ashes at home with me now.

We had a little time together before his body was taken.

I dug up the courage to see his body and was able to give him a last kiss goodbye.

I didn't do that with his sister Jemilla. Seeing his body wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.

It was nice to be close to his physical presence one last time.

I am sure we will all be with you and Tiffy in spirit at 11.30 - I know I will. It will be a difficult time for you Philip but know that we are all here for you. The ceremony will be wonderful and hopefully a celebration of Tiffy's life with you.

We are with you too

Just about to go and pick Tiffy up to go to the crematorium.

Feels so weird right now.

Have a special basket coffin I can put his body in.

Hope the M25 isn't too bad.

Thinking of you today sweetie

Maddiesmum · « **Reply #35 on:** September 24, 2008, 12:10:00 PM »

I am glad you posted the time of the ceremony Philip because I want to be with you in spirit.

Dawn F · « **Reply #34 on:** September 24, 2008, 11:28:49 AM »

how lovely I didn't realise you could have a ceremony, I hope it is the celebration of Tiffy that you want it to be

Philip · « **Reply #33 on:** September 24, 2008, 11:27:46 AM »

Tiffy's cremation is tomorrow at 11:30 am.

I'm taking him to the dignity pet crematorium in Hampshire. I used them for Jemilla (Tiffy's sister) and was very happy with the service.

There is a special room you can have a ceremony in and play music.

Dawn F · « **Reply #32 on:** September 22, 2008, 10:30:14 AM »

Philip I've just seen this thread, I'm so so sorry to hear this news

Philip · « **Reply #31 on:** September 21, 2008, 20:18:05 PM »

I wanted to make a portrait of Tiffy so spent a few hours today putting this together.

He's so beautiful.

Philip · « **Reply #30 on:** September 18, 2008, 18:17:24 PM »

On the flying without wings theme. Decided to get on the piano and try and play something I could use at his cremation.

Came up with this.

You're in my thoughts Philip. Such a hard decision for you to make but at least Tiffy is at peace now

RIP: Tiffy - play happily in rainbow bridge x

Tiffy lived the best life a cat could possibly live. With you he had everything. He was a very lucky cat, and you were a very lucky cat daddy

He is in a better place now. My girl Persephone will look after him at Rainbow Bridge.

RIP beautiful Tiffy Boy
