as i type this post, yuki is on my desk with my arms encircling her. she is giving up her long fight against bad kidneys. she has been giving us hints this past week that she was almost ready for her trip across the bridge. yesterday i knew it would be in the next day or two. she hardly ate, she was having problems with balance, and she wanted to sleep next to kintaro. kintaro was a gentleman and let her have all of his favorite blanket she wanted. it was bittersweet as i knew in my heart what was coming.
my heart is breaking as i spend this time with her. please say a prayer for my old girl. i would like her trip over the bridge to be one she can look forward to. all of my kittys that came before waiting for her on the other side. especially cheebie, yuki loved him, he was her protector.
yuki, i will have a bag of fishy flakes in my pocket just for you when we meet at the bridge.
Prays to you

I know so well the sadness that comes with having to say goodbye but it is the best gift we can give our failing felines. I lost my Patches over a year ago and it finally is getting easier but she will always reside in my heart. I think I let her go to long thinking that somehow she would get better.

I lost the founding member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Kitty Horde, Christopher T Cat, to kidney problems at the age of 16. Our hearts, purrs and prayers are with you as Yuki prepares to cross the Bridge and wait for you with Cheebie. I know that the many memories of love will help heal the grief of loss. May her journey be gentle.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you and your Yuki, but as you could tell, she is ready for her adventures at the Bridge.
ReplyDeleteThat piece of your heart will always be hers.
I believe there is no sense of time at The Bridge, as there is here on Earth. Time is what is so wearing and painful for us all here.
I pray the Lord gives you strength, day to day with your parents, and may you feel your heart actually lighten as you say "So long, for now" to your beautiful Yuki.
Blessings,
Rose, The Royals and Gentleman Beau

ReplyDeleteNo matter how well you think you are prepared, it will probably feel like a bit of your heart and soul is ripped out, but you will be stronger for the pain
May her transition be peaceful.

Thanks so much for visiting me. I'm so sorry to hear about Yuki. Purrs and hugs from my mommy and I.
ReplyDeleteSorry it's been so long since we left a comment (even though we visit, we runs out of time to compose our thoughts). But we wanted to let you know we are thinking of you at this saddest of times and know how much your heart is aching.
ReplyDeleteMay this poem help ease your heart...Teri said it has comforted her...
And God asked the feline spirit
Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able
To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly
For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don't they understand? asked God
That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand,
Replied the glorious cat
For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them
I just am....forever and ever and ever.
Ps: We also wanted to thank you for supporting Coco's Auction (we remember you helped Brighton out when he was sick, too!).
I am so very sorry to hear about your baby. Our thoughts are with you.
