She was such a beautiful, precious little girl. I'm so sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Prowler. Look down on your Meowmy and send her comforting thoughts and memories.

She was my night light, my bright and shining girl who could melt my heart in a single minute. I buried her in her first blanket and hoped it would keep her warm and comforted.

I learned more than I wanted to about FLUTD and I urge all of you to steer away from fish flavored cat foods and encourage your cats to drink as much water as you can if you feed dry food only. This is a horrible disease and on my end, it was mismanaged by vets who are more skilled with cattle and sheep than they are cats and dogs.
A wise woman once wrote: "The food bowl may be empty, and your bed may be missing that furry lump snuggled next to you- but in your heart, that special cat will ride the time with you, until one day the remembrance no longer brings with it the lump in the throat or the tears and instead you will count yourself lucky to have been blessed and bonded with such a companion as the one that enriched your life enough that you sought to leave his/her memory in Crossing The Bridge~ a very special place."

Your Prowler is not in a cold dark place. She is in the warm light at Rainbow Bridge.

MA you've been on my mind since yesterday, and my heart breaks for you right now


Your little girl is safe and warm over at the bridge, and she won't ever forget you


Night night Prowler, keep looking down on your mum because she's missing you so much

I find out to late that it perhaps wasn't FLUTD after all but something else based on the latest blood work. The vet surmises that her stress level went so high that her potassium level went through the roof and stopped her heart. Whatever she had, she is no longer in pain and she is surrounded by many who knew her, some who she comforted and she is once again snuggled into Kenai's belly.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost your wonderful Prowler. She has so often been mentioned in your posts that we all know how special she was.

I am very sorry for the loss of your special girl.
I know words can't begin to fill the hole in your heart, but you are in my thoughts.


RIP sweet girl.

I'm so sorry MA for this great loss. I don't visit CTB often since I'm still lost without Nakita and this place brings back the memories way to fast. I can feel your pain and know your loss because I know how special she was and still is in your heart. I was just on your site reading your updates and your concern regarding Prowler's health and having no answers.


Tears fall easily for me these days and this thread certainly started them again. Hopefully Prowler will meet up with Nakita. Wouldn't that be a wonderful pair?

Sending hugs & comfort your way.

There's no place like home
I haven't been to the bridge for a few days and just saw this.

I remember the day that Prowler came into your life. At first you tried to rehome her and I had a close friend that was seriously interested in adopting her. Your early descriptions of her were so vivid that it was obvious to us that she was a very special girl. And while I schemed a way to get out to your area, you grew a bond with her as I've never witnessed with you before. It was so obvious to me that she was a soul mate to you. That has come across in all of your posts about her.

There are no words that I can offer to help you through your grief. May time heal your heart. I am so sorry MA.

Let loose the chains that bind my soul
That I may soar as meant to be
Be free....

Amy, as strange as this might sound to some, Prowler was indeed my soul mate. I miss her so much. I haven't been this lost in a very long time, not since Tazzy passed. I remember very well how you wanted this orange girl, but she walked into my heart early and just stayed. The cats know that I am upset, one by one they have sought me out and laid on my lap quietly, each one taking turns. Mike was quite surprised by this last night, it was as if they were signaling each other. Even my elusive Ms. Dash has found the time to be with me.

One spirit passes and more arrive. Two tuxedo kittens came in last night from a local vet. They were left in a cardboard box that was duct taped shut in a parking lot. One male, one female- discarded as if they were garbage. I posted a photo of them in strays and ferals. So although I feel my world has stopped, five new kitties are here now to remind me it has not.

Katherine, I know well the feeling of loss you are experiencing. I hope someday another kitten is lucky enough to claim you as her own.

I'm so sorry to hear about Prowler, MA. She looked like such a sweetheart . She was taken from you way too soon.

And isn't that how we eventually heal? I wish I could reach out and give you a big comforting hug right now. Instead I'll close my eyes and will strength to you across the miles.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
I'm so incredibly sorry, Mary Anne. Prowler has been your special little girl since the moment she entered your life, so precious, instinctively loving, and always so intelligent. Your beautiful little Angel is so happy and healthy now in Heaven where she is no doubt welcoming in all the new arrivals to acclimate them to their new home until the wonderful day you are reunited. You and Mike remain in my prayers, my friend.
