I never really know what to say in these sad times so hadn't said anything but did think about you Gillian when I was reading what was happening

I just wanted to say how wonderful it was of Sam to send you a rainbow

Hug xx

That photo of Sam and the tomato soup really makes me smile every time I see it, what a wonderful boy he way. RIP darling Sam

Missed this topic....very sorry to hear about Sam, Gillian...he was gorgeous, and full of character. And I'm sure he knew how much he was loved.

awww Gillian, I'm so sorry you are finding things so hard, I hope the time comes soon when you can think of him and smile without the tears

I bet the rainbow was mostly red - having tomato soup with Gypsy

Love Mary xx

How clever of your boy to send you such a beautiful rainbow

Its so hard collecting their ashes, but he's back home with you and the others, right where he belongs

Sorry not been around lately - thanks again for your messages

Losing Sam knocked me for six and I was just starting to feel human again - but I picked up his ashes today

. I also stupidly looked through all my photos of him - did manage a little smile at the infamous 'Tomato face' photo that Mary posted, but ended up in bits again.

Something amazing though - I brought his ashes home early evening and tonight I was sitting watching telly, it was about 8.45pm and it had been raining. I happened to look out the window and there was this wonderful double rainbow, I couldnt believe it, unusual to see a rainbow so late, but there had been sun, then cloud, then rain, then a bit of late sun breaking through - and this beautiful double rainbow, one part slowly faded, but the single rainbow then became stronger and made a complete arch

- it made me cry again of course, but it just felt so perfect too - the fact that his ashes had come home and then that same evening - the rainbow.

An emotional day, I can't say much more at the moment, just thanks too, for the pm's, I will reply, just not quite back in action yet

How gorgeous is Sam

Gillian I think Sam was one of the most loved Purrs's cats, everyone adored him

Thanks everyone I'm still in shock it all happened so quickly, I can't believe he's gone. He was always there on the worktop (in my way!) I wish he was still there in my way. His eyes used to follow me round the kitchen waiting for that moment when I'd turn and notice him and he'd put a paw out to touch if if I was within reach - I can't bear it, he's been in my life for nearly 13 years (he was born on christmas eve 1997) - from 4 months old. I want to stop crying my head hurts from crying. I tried to hold it in when I went to see mum this afternoon - failed of course, I feel so guilty too, I've been so wrapped up in the foster cats lately - Chico in particular, and I missed precious time with my lovely Sam.

Only just seen this and I have tears rolling down my face, so sorry. I know it's easy to say but you should not feel guilty - I know our darling furbabies know how much we love them, they can sense things in so many more ways than mere humans can! I am sure too that Sam loved you for more than just the number of minutes you spent with him, I am sure he could sense that the foster cats arrived unsettled but soon come to feel as safe and contented as he did.

maryas · « **Reply #46 on:** July 13, 2010, 00:00:38 AM »

I can only repeat what everyone has already said - we all feel for you and you know it was the right thing to do and don't feel guilty about spending time with Chico - Sam knew how much you loved him and cared for him.

Hope he's met up with Gypsy on the Bridge

Sam you may be gone from this Earth but you will never be forgotten darling.

Mary

Oh Gillian , I've only just seen this and I'm sat here sobbing - as you know I had a real soft spot for Sam , I am so so sorry he's gone.

Sleep tight little man - I consider myself very lucky to have met you.

Gillian Harvey · « **Reply #43 on:** July 12, 2010, 14:24:20 PM »

Thank you for your kind messages

I just feel numb now. He was such a sweet lovely and gentle boy.

I am so so sorry, all of your gang are very much loved and I'm sure he didn't feel left out by the fosters

Christine (Blip) · « **Reply #39 on:** July 11, 2010, 12:02:53 PM »

Gillian, I am so sorry for your loss and my thoughts are with you.

Desley (booktigger) · « **Reply #38 on:** July 11, 2010, 11:30:26 AM »

I am so sorry to hear this, I had truly hoped when I read it on Fri that he would just need fluid draining and would bounce back like last time. Please dont feel guilty about spending time with the fosters though, he knew how loved he was. RIP little one.

Liz · « **Reply #37 on:** July 10, 2010, 16:17:41 PM »

I'm so sorry, Gillian

I don't know what to say. Sam was one of Purrs furry characters and a real babe

RIP Sam.

madasacatter · « **Reply #33 on:** July 10, 2010, 11:41:15 AM »

So sorry to hear of your heart break and the loss of your beloved cat. You know you did your very best for him, and you just wish you could have done more. We all know that feeling.

Yvonne · « **Reply #32 on:** July 10, 2010, 10:50:07 AM »

So very sorry to hear this

----------------------------------------

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories, I only wanted you.

A million times I needed you, a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.

In life I loved you dearly, in death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place no one could ever fill.

If tears could build a stairway and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as we are called one by one, the chain will link again.

This is so sad -i have always loved Sam from afar

Rosella moggy · « **Reply #30 on:** July 09, 2010, 22:33:35 PM »

I am so very sorry Gillian

RIP Sam baby boy

Please try don't beat yourself up Gillian. It does no one any good

Whose to say, if you had time to dither, that you may have made the wrong choice and prolonged the inevitable? There is no way of knowing what might have been

Hopefully Sam will send you a sign to confirm what I think we all know; that it was his time and he was grateful you were there for him. I'm in bits for you Gillian
