"Minouche" 1988 - 10/12/05 Mixed Breed Cat Minouche was so special in so many ways.Firstly she loved tosit and watch the rain and enjoyed loud summer storms.   She was very expressive and almost chirped like a bird. She loves to dance but couldn't stand opera and made no bones about what kind of music was ok. She was an integral part of our family for 16 years and has let a gapping big hole in our hearts. I will miss her neurotic side but felt blssed to have such a special creature be a part of our world.~Sharon Added on 10/13/05 |

 "Cougar" Black Cat 1997 ~ May 24, 2005 You came to me in the freezing cold winter and stayed curled up in my garage asking for nothing. Quiet, sleeping most of the time I couldn't bear to allow you to continue being alone. I brought you inside with my others, your family didn't come for you even though they knew you were here. So sweet in your temperment and affectionate, when the vet said feleuk I knew we wouldn't have long together. Eight months later you passed in my arms and after being in intensive care in the hospital, you were at home with me and all the babies one after the other coming say goodbye to you. Can I say you were mine and not "theirs"? Yes, I took care of you and I love you, our short time together a little over a year was special for us. You are now at peace and I have a beautiful memorial for you in the yard under the huge evergreen tree you used to sleep under on a sunny day, I visit with you several times every day. I miss your 20/lbs of beautiful black fur, you never were any trouble Cougies, and I hope you know that I love you and you will always be in my broken heart. A new star was born For some kindly soul God counts all the stars He sends them His blessings ~Sidni Added on 9/17/05 |

For My Beloved If my tears could have made my beloved well, I have already cried an ocean, If my kisses could have brought him comfort, I would have drown him in them If my wishes could have made him strong, he would have had the strength of thousands, If my voice could have brought him peace, I would have sung him a billion songs, If I could have taken away his pain, I would have suffered thousands of subtle tortures, If my love could have given him life, he would already been immortal But only God could have loved him more than me, and so he took him from me. Now, he resides in the loving, caring arms of Jesus Christ my Lord Where now he waits for me on the day when I escape this existence. Dedicated to the memory of my Beloved Cat "Squeaky Watkina", who died August 27, 2005. By: Marshall L. Watkins Added on 9/4/05 |

"Tansi" (Tawn-see) Orange mix cat Tansi was a very special cat. My parents found her under a car in Thompson, Canada. I've had Tansi 9 years of my life and my Mom always said she would jump up on my crib when I was a baby. She survived for 17 years and then gave in to old age. Tansi, hope you have a good afterlife in Kitty heaven. ~Emi Added on 6/18/05 |

 "April" This was mine and my boyfriends cat April. He's had her since he was 2 years old. Sadly, his mom found her no more than a week ago. She was 16 years old. We aren’t sure what she passed away from. But we're thinking it was just old age. She was very happy. She helped my boyfriend, James, through everything. She will always be remembered. ~Jyssica Added on 6/09/05 |

"Abby" My cat Abby the Tabby passed away Feb 16th, 05. She was 14 years old but very lively and loved. She died pretty suddenly of kidney failure  (a matter of days from diagnosis to death).I had her all 14 years of her life. She was my baby and everyone loved her. She had an incredible strong presence and beautiful big eyes. She was a yellow tabby and I took her with me when I moved to California when my mom passed away (I'm from NYC) and when I returned to NY three years later I brought her with me. Some people were surprised I was so attached to her. I told them she was my baby and there was nothing to explain. Abby was such a presence that she would look straight at your face, in your eyes and meow to you what she wanted. Then she'd raise her paw and get you to get up so she could show you what she wanted. Her favorite was for  us to open the sink so she could drink, even if she wasn't thirsty. If we were using the sink, we'd feel her little paw moving us over so she could jump in the sink. Also, she wanted to go under the covers and purr especially on cold days.She loved treats, so much so she would not let you sleep, or do anything until you gave her at least one. My family and I are still in shock. It's been three months today. She was such a part of my life I can't seem to have a day go by that I miss her deeply. I hope this pain lessens and turns into expectation of seeing her again some day in heaven. I wish there was something to ease the pain I feel for her loss. ~Diana Navarro Added on 5/17/05 |

 "Aramis" 1988-3/24/04 Siamese Cat He passed away in his sleep in the early morning hours of 3/24/04. My beloved pet Aramis- You were a special kitten from the day I brought you home. I always called you my "puppy cat", because you were not like any other cat I ever had. You acted more like a dog, always wanting to be right next to me. You were what unconditional love was all about. You made me smile when you did your summersaults when I scratched you. I will always think of you and the wonderful love you showed. I miss you sleeping on my pillow and sneaking your paw in my glass of milk to "get a drink". I am so blessed to have had so many years with you, sixteen to be exact. I will always love you and never will I forget you. I love you my little "hairy-mess" :) Love, Your Human Mommy ~Danica Added on 3/25/04 Updated on 4/7/04 |

 "Peaches 'n' Cream" ? - 7/22/01 I adopted Peaches on 11/27/98 from an animal shelter I worked at. He was one of the many "unwanted" animals there. To this day I don't understand why he was unwanted. Like all animals, all he wanted was a stable home. When I introduced him to my other animals he spit at them. Then 10 seconds later he was cuddling with them. I would like to say he lived with no worries, but I can't. Since he was abandoned before, he was always in fear of the day I would take him back to the shelter. Even when I took him to the vet he would shake. I did all I could to comfort him but when an animal has experienced abandonment they are never the same worry free kitten they once were. One day in November 01’ Peaches’ skin turned yellow and I called the vet. They ran tests and said his liver was failing. There was nothing anyone could do for him. Throughout his remaining days I did not leave his side other than going to work. One day I woke up and he was next to me and would not get up. I knew it was time. Not wanting him to suffer, I took him to the vet to ease his passing. I then took him home and made him a grave. Even though he was only with me for 2 years I’m glad I adopted him. I could not bear the thought of him living his last days in an animal shelter. Shelters are a wonderful thing. Without them many animals wouldn’t have a “home”, but it is no place for an animal to live. All of my cats have come from an animal shelter. I wouldn’t have it any other way. ~Barbara Smith Added 10/30/03 |
