A lovely tribute for a lovely girl

Dear Maddy.

I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you I really am. You were so young for this to happen to you. It broke my heart to let you go.

I believe it was fate I was to rescue you 3 years ago. I had always wanted a ragdoll and when I saw you’re picture it was love at first sight. I couldn’t wait to meet you. To have you home. You looked absolutely stunning.

I didn’t expect you to be so scared of things. For months you would run to my bedroom window and hide behind the curtain. I still can’t help wondering what it was that made you that way. Whatever it was I am glad you knew real love.

I remember one day looking round and seeing you sitting in the front room. It was the first time I had seen you do that and it felt wonderful. But still, if I got up you would run back upstairs. It took many months more before you let me see the real you. I will never forget that time you were on the top level of the cat tree and you leant down and gave me a head butt on my forehead. I will never forget our little ritual in the bathroom with you drinking from the tap. You finally settled and gave me you’re trust.

I will never forget those beautiful deep blue eyes. So entrancing and magical that I could spend hours just standing there admiring you. And then there is you’re tail. Surely you need some kind of license to posses a tail of such quality. I will miss very much having you around.

Even though you were with me for 3 years, I feel I have only had a little while with the real you and for that I am truly sad, but rather that than have not met you at all. A gentle beautiful creature that only wanted love. You had love Maddy. I love you very much.

You had me at “Meow”.

I feel really sick inside right now.

I wish this wasn't happening.

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.

I have lost many myself. They are all buried here - swore to them they would come back home. But, you know, as glad as I am that they are buried here, and glad that you are seeing to her as you are, we really must know - and DO know - that they are still with us. We honour their beautiful bodies, but also must acknowledge and rejoice in their continuing souls.

I KNOW this. Like my Ariadne - so dreadfully hurt when she and I found each other. She, like your Lady, spent a long time under chairs, desks and all. Didn't even know how to play. But lived to become the "Mother of us all" - not because of her uterus (I spay and neuter all who come) but because of her absolute love and acceptance of any and all who came near. Or Myshkin. Wild but dreadfully hurt. He spent years coming to trust me.

She was fortunate to find you - and you her. TOO short a time you had together. But you will always remember her and her glorious sapphire eyes. As I do my incredible Bress (he of THE most astonishing blue eyes! Allowed him to 'see' magical beings. (It's a long story!) ).

She is with you. Waiting, too, over the bridge, of course. But with you now as well.

Kay and Penny · « **Reply #23 on:** June 05, 2009, 00:04:21 AM »

you're going to go on missing her for quite a while, Phillip

these furry creatures don't worm their way into our hearts without leaving a big hole when they leave us - but we bear the sorrow of their loss for the joy of having them while they are here

Philip · « **Reply #22 on:** June 04, 2009, 23:57:13 PM »

I have arranged for Maddy's cremation for Monday at 12:30.

The crematorium I use do a really nice ceramic "sleeping cat" hand painted to look like the cat.

I have really missed her today.

Nicola (RockysMum) · « **Reply #21 on:** June 04, 2009, 09:33:25 AM »

So sorry Philip. It's clear that the time she had with you was filled with love. My thoughts are with you

Tears in my eyes. So sorry for this loss

Philip · « **Reply #19 on:** June 03, 2009, 10:44:03 AM »

It's really hitting me today now. She's not here anymore and I can feel it.

I knew I was feeling way too calm yesterday afterwards.

What a lovely tribute to a lovely girl, she will be pleased she made such an impact on your life Philip, and is now back with her original owner until it is time for you to meet again. RIP little one

So sorry to hear this - of course Maddy was happy with you and if she could tell you then I am sure that she would

Philip - I know how much it hurts,

If it should be I grow frail and weak,
And pain prevents my peaceful sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
When this last battle can't be won.

You will be sad, I understand.
Selfishness might stay your hand.
But on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship take the test.

You'd not want me to suffer.
So, when the time comes, please let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend.
Only stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.

I know, in time, you, too, will see,
It is a kindness that you do for me.
Although my tail it's last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Do not grieve it should be you.
Who must decide this thing to do.

Rest in peace Maddy, find Milly, Cleo, Jess and Spike and make friends with them,

Thinking of you.

I lost my Maddy at 17:20 this evening. She gently fell asleep at the vets.

The battle against CRF is lost.

Maddy was my first Ragdoll .A bi colour lynx no less and an absolute stunner.

She had deep saphire blue eyes that could entrance you.

I rescued her when she was 6 years old as her previous owner was an old lady that died.

She was an extremely timid cat and wouldn't come out of the cat carrier for 2 days after I got her home.

It took 6 months before she would even leave the bedroom and if I moved even a tiny bit, she would run back up to her "place of safety".

Its only been the last year or so that she was relaxed enough to chill out with me and my other ragdolls on the cat trees or the lounge. I will never forget the first time she appeared at the doorway to the lounge. I felt so special the day she jumped up on the sofa and sat with me. Its only been the last year that she let me really fuss and cuddle her.

I feel so angry that I missed out on so much of her life. This wasn't the end I wanted for her.

How can I describe this cat? Beautiful, loving, No trouble at all. I'm sure she was happy here. I hope she was.

Maddy I miss you deeply and you will always been in my heart. I'm just glad you are not suffering anymore.

Daddy x
