My cat might be dying

is the world’s biggest asshole for not reading through the thread before replying

I am so sorry, yellowval.

You’ve probably seen this before, but this gave me comfort when my Bobo died:

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…

Life is so cruel… but all we can do is keep going on… cherish your other two babies dearly… once again, I am so sorry.

dre2xl, you are most definitely not the world’s biggest asshole. I already know that person.
Thank you for sharing that about the Rainbow Bridge with me. I haven’t seen that before, and it is really comforting. I have lots of pets who will meet me there … boy is that going to be fun!

@yellowval

Thank you for sharing that about the Rainbow Bridge with me.

Me, too. All the projectile vomiting it caused help me forget how sad I was about yellowval’s cat!

I am so sorry for your loss. At the same time, I’m glad you have your other two babies.

My Kobii was at the vet hospital off and on for three months last fall…I finally lost her just after Christmas. I cannot get another cat, she is not replaceable and I am not emotionallly capable of trying to “get over this” as some people have suggested I should. Someday, maybe, but right now I don’t think so.

Sending scritches to your remaining babies,

Cheri
