Rusty 11/17/1993 - 11/5/2007

He sounds like he was a very good friend to you. Rest in peace Rusty. You will be missed.

I'm so sorry, Cindy. I can't believe all of this is happening so quickly to you It must be so difficult to understand. You just have to believe that everything happens for a reason.

So very much in such a short period of time... I think I'd have a break down, personally. I came in here today because I just, well, needed a good cry, needed to remember a bit myself. I will keep your family in my thoughts... I don't think that the pain ever completely dissolves, but it eases, with time and tenderness.

How are you doing today? I hope things are getting easier for you. remember the happy and *try* to forget the bad. You are a great cat mommy and you did a good job! Things happen for a reason. Godd just needed something cute to look at!

RIP GLITCH

Thanks hon, I'm doing ok lately....as close to "normal" as you can get for me, lol!

I stil miss my furry love, but I know he's better off.....now if I could just get his kitty buddies to stop hunting for him......

I'm so sorry for the loss of Rusty, you're long time companion and friend. I know how you feel, as it is almost 2 years now, that I lost my Snoopy at the age of 20. He was everything to me. I literally went from a teenager to an adult with him in my life. So I know how you feel.

The pain is really unbearable at first, but time does heal the wounds. You don't forget them or how much you loved them, but it gets easier to look back on the memories with a smile.

R.I.P. Rusty. Have fun at the Bridge.

I'm so sorry for you loss, in time it will get easier for you and you will only remember the good times with your precious boy. Rest in peace at the beautiful rainbow bridge Rusty.

I know how that hunting thing goes! I lost Glitch on the 16th and I got a new one today. Booboo couldn't handle having no one there with him! He literally wouldn't eat, drink, move or do anything! I cant help but to keep thinking about my baby Glitch. I know he would have been gone by now anyways, but dammit he wasn't just my kitty, he was my son also!! When they are members of the family and roles have been established its just like losing a human thats covered with fur! I hope today is okay for you! Lemme know

I'm so very sorry about Rusty. It is awful to lose one, but three in such a short period must be beyond devastating.
I know how you feel. Yesterday was two years since Duchess passed. To make matters worse, I forgot and only was able to post it this morning because a fellow birder in our audubon suffered from a terrible heart attack last week (unexpectantly) and his funeral was yesterday. We got her when I was 10 and she passed 2 days before my 25 birthday. She was a big part of my life and that was the worst birthday I've ever had since I ended up having to bury her that same weekend.
Losing one is heartwrenching, but three, I do not admit to knowing what that feels like. A friend of mine lost 3 of his animals (2 cats and a dog) within months this year. His most beloved and cherished cat among them.
I think if you truly cherish and love your cat (which I consider mine like children) then there is no shame in the grief that you feel for losing them. It is hard because you do not want to ever have to see them suffer. They are always there for you through the good and the bad and the one thing that stays constant in your life. I hope Rusty is playing happily with your other two kitties and that they are all looking down upon you.

Rusty, my sweet love, even though I miss Gizzy, and my little Rurnt girl, you're the one who's on my mind this morning as we head into Christmas. I was outside yesterday, and was reminded of the fact that you spent your first Christmas with us outside, up a tree because you got out of the house on me, then climbed a tree, and it took us two days to get you out. This is the first Christmas since 1994 that you haven't spent with us.......and I'm feeling it rather badly this morning...I love you baby, hopefully Christmas at the Rainbow Bridge is full of tuna and snow and bright twinkly lights.

You know, its been four and a half months since Rusty passed on, and still sometimes I miss him so much. I sat down today at the piano in the living room (something I rarely ever do these days) and within just a few minutes found myself in tears. You siee, from the day he came into this house, if I sat down to practice, Rusty was there, either sitting on my right side, or lying on my left with his head on my lap.......and today he wasn't there to comment on my playing anymore...but the "funny" part about it...his mate of 13 years was lying on the left side of the piano bench in his place......something she never, ever did before!

You know.... I understand. it's been almost 7 months since Jake died and I miss him everyday. Some days it's harder then others and my heart just aches.
