This is Charlie, my mum's cat who I'm looking after while she is overseas. She is 15 years old and was very close to my dad who passed away 5 years ago. It feels nice having a cat in the house again but at the same time I feel sad that Boos and Bears aren't here to share the love (although I'm sure fur would fly if they were!!!!) She has settled in very well here and sleeps in exactly the same spot as Bears did.....on my bed, pushing me to the side!!!!!!! She knows which side her bread is buttered, thats for sure!!!!

mickeylees says:
It was very difficult doing this, given she passed only 6 weeks ago, but it has helped dealing with the loss.

mickeylees says:
thanks Marilyn for your kind comments, it is very sweet of you

My beautiful Boos, missing you every day

My latest painting of Bears, gone but not forgotten

mickeylees says:
My latest painting - titled "Sitting on the Shores of Paradise" From left to right: Boooks, Fifi, Boos and Bears. My beautiful babies, together at last.

mickeylees says:
what a beautiful angel. Love and kisses to you both and also to Spencer

mickeylees says:
pdale - i'm so sorry to hear about spencer. The most important thing now is to be with him in his last days and keep showering him with love and kisses. This is what I did with Bears in her last few days and believe me it was tough knowing she was going, but the love was there right till the end. Don't forget - our bodies may turn to dust, but love is eternal and will carry dear Spencer into paradise, where there is everlasting bliss and happiness. God be with you and Spencer

mickeylees says:
Karen - so sorry to hear of your loss. But know one thing....all our little furry friends get a fast track ticket to heaven and I know that CiCi will be frolicking in the gardens of paradise with all the other babies who made the journey to the Rainbow Bridge. When it's our turn, I know they'll be waiting for us. God bless and stay strong.

mickeylees says:
thanks for your kind comments. I painted the picture above as a labour of love for my little ones. I will definitely paint some more of all my babies and will post them on here

mickeylees says:
Today, I received Bears' ashes, two weeks to the day she left us. Looking at the picture above gives me comfort as I know she will be in a place like that, with Boos, Fifi and Boooks, happy forever.

mickeylees says:
what a beautiful sweetheart!!! :-)

mickeylees says:
God bless both of you. My prayers are with you and be strong for him, come what may. If he does go, take comfort in the fact that all of our furry friends have one destination......the Rainbow Bridge, where there is no more pain and suffering and all the babies live in eternal happiness and bliss as they wait for us.

"Arrival in Paradise"

mickeylees says:
July 3rd 2012...My dear little baby has made her final journey to the Rainbow Bridge and past the gates of Heaven into paradise. Rest in peace my little sweetheart. You were the sweetest and gentlest baby I had the blessing of knowing. You will be missed here on earth but I know heaven will be that little bit sweeter now you are there. Say hello to Boos, Fifi and Books and to all the other babies there when you get to the Rainbow Bridge and I know they'll be waiting for you with tails up high........ "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” Revelations 21:4...... "And [accompanying them will be their] companions pure, most beautiful of eye, like unto pearls hidden in their shells. [This will be] a reward for what they did [during life]. No empty talk will they hear there, nor any call to sin, but only the tiding of inner soundness and peace." Quran, Chapter 56 verses 22-26....... God bless you Bears and all those babies journeying to the Rainbow Bridge

We haven't been on here a lot since we lost Boos 18 months ago as it was too painful to see the pictures. We are on here again tonight as this is going to be our last night with Bears before she joines Boos on the Rainbow Bridge. We have had little warning of our impending loss of such a beautiful and sweet, gentle little cat. She has been deaf since we lost Boos and his blind in one eye, but she still continued to be cuddly as always. It is very painful for us to see her how she is at the moment and we have accepted that there is nothing more we can do but to let her go to Boos. It is a heart wrenching time, but when we lost Boos we found such solace on this site with like minded people. We are left with an empty house from tomorrow.

On the first anniversary of losing you: God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered come to me. With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you pass away. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, beautiful paws at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me, He only takes the best. For my beautiful boos, gone but never, ever forgotten

Thank you all for you comments. Bears has come back from the vet and has had an anti-biotic injection for her cystitis - she seems to be better. Vet also said there was no sign of an overactive thyroid but will need a blood test just to be on the safe side
