Max & Mikey's > In Loving Memory

		WE REMEMBER KITTIES WHO'VE GONE BEFORE. Like Fuzz, our beloved Tabby who terrorized our friends and family but loved us dearly. And our 2 Grandkittens Flippy and Mittins. We miss them all dearly and think of them often remembering their individual personalities and the joy and love they gave our family. Below is my favorite poem that was a great comfort to me many times. Please visit the Petloss.com web site for support for when your cat is ailing or has passed. The site has been a total gift to our family.
		OUR BELOVED UDON JUST PASSED FROM CANCER FALL '09. "Udes" was one of our 5 wonderful grandkittens, brother to Yaki. He suddenly got very very thin and when diagnosed was found to have terminal cancer. He was greatly loved and will be missed. Udon snuck into my suitcase when I was visiting my kids in Denenchofu, Tokyo. He wanted to come home to Canada and he eventually did!

Rainbow Bridge

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.

There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together...

BEN LOVED THIS KITTIE'S PICS AND THOUGHT HE LOOKED SO MUCH LIKE OUR MAX... VERY SAD.

Uno took a drastic turn for the worse last night and today, and I had to make the tough decision of having him put to sleep. His diabetes had begun taking its toll on his liver, and he was running a fever, not eating or drinking, etc.

Long story short, after hours of debate and struggle, I knew that the best option for all of us was to have him go to sleep without ever having to experience any pain or major suffering.

Unable to handle taking him in, my Dad made the final trip to the vet &emdash; and Uno perked-up and showed just enough of his wonderful personality to make me feel better about making such a tough decision. I couldn't bear allowing him to suffer.

He knows how much I loved him, and he loved me back every bit as much for almost 8 years. He had a good life, a wonderful life, and I was the best dadgum Dad any cat could ever hope for &emdash; and he was truly my best friend and most faithful companion.

Thank for all the years of love and affection &emdash; the purrs, the lap-naps, the posing for pictures. If the Lord lets us store our treasures in Heaven, I'll look forward to seeing you again.

Goodbye, my friend. MAURY M.

Sadly, we just lost 3 more beloved kitties -- Our grandkitten - Udon, our friend Noreen's - Styx and Deb's Tigger. We miss them all desperately and the tears keep flowing... December 2009
