So sad, my thoughts are with you. I am reminded of the 'Pets 10 Commandments':
"On the ultimate difficult journey, go with me please. Never say you can't bear to watch. Don't make me face this alone. Everything is easier for me if you are there, because I love you so.
Take a moment today to thank God for your pets. Enjoy and take good care of them. Life would be a much duller, less joyful experience without God's critters.
Remember that we do not have to wait for Heaven, to be surrounded by hope, love, and joyfulness. It is here on earth and has four legs."

It's both sad but true. It's why we went for rescue home cats when we got ours - with the exception of Carrots who found us of course! Bless our furry friends and those who are not so fortunate.
FerrisMewler says:
What a lovely and lucky little cat. Well done you for taking her in. We took in a stray cat and he rewards us everyday with load purring and affection. He joined our 2 existing cats - it took a while for them to get on but they know their rolls now.
FerrisMewler says:
Ha! Either that Eli or they are masking themselves with our scent. I love black cats (we have 2 of them) I don't know where you are based but here in the UK there have been lots of stories about how difficult it is to get homes for black cats. I have had cats since I was a child but we have always taken in whatever cat was availabel and needed a home regardless of colour or gender. Ferris along with his sister Nash are from a rescue home for abused animals, Carrots turned up one freezing cold night. Lucky for us humans as well as the felines we found each other!

After reading this I went home and made sure that my 3 cats got a special hug on top of the usual greeting ritual we have when I retuned home. I also prayed for my furry friends at the Rainbow Bridge. It is very sad when something happens to our cats but at the same time it makes us realise what we still have. Thank you for sharing this story MackemCat.

I am so sad for your loss. As our other friends here have said I too have loved and lost furry cuties to the Rainbow Bridge. I like to think they are all together as one big happy family keeping each other warm and happy. Bruno looks a lot like my 2 black cats - Ferris and Carrots. Bless you MackemCat and know that there are other people thinking of you. I hope in some small way this helps.
