It breaks my heart to say my husband found Andy's body today. It looks like some kind of animal got to him. I want to thank each and everyone of you for your love and support. I can really talk now I just wanted everyone to know. Andy is now in a better place with his sister Sarah, and brothers Willy, Benny and Zander.

Oh Michele, I am so sorry!
My heart goes out to you, I know how hard this must be for you, having had a cat killed several years ago myself.


You're right about Andy being in a better place, but that doesn't stop you from missing him.

I will say a prayer for Andy, and for you also.

Michele

i'm so sorry, truly so heartbroken that this has happened to your precious
Andy.

i know how hard this must be for you, so i'll now say a prayer for you,
and try to send my support & strength over to you.

we had a dog of ours run down by a drunk driver when i was just a little
girl, it happened right in front of me, just about hitting me as well,
and we lost our dog, Mandy, who had just mothered a litter.

my step-mother and i were devastated for a long time, i know i got through
it by giving my love to one of her litter, Dragger, one that we decided to keep,
it pulled me through.

we lost Dragger, who i've had since i was 10, two years ago, and it just
never gets easier to lose a pet, the grief is enormous, but know, we all
mourn with you, and feel for you.

Just want to say how sorry I am that you lost Andy. The only good thing if that is possible is that you dont have to worry and wonder what happened to him. Again I am very sorry and my thoughts are with you.

Andy had a wonderful life with you I am sure. I think it's better to know for sure what happened to him as much as it hurts. My heart goes out to you sweetie!

Even though I will see you tomorrow I wanted to post my sorrow also. I feel a personal loss with Andy also, as he came from me - Andy was a wonderful, beautiful and friendly "clueless" kind of kitty. He will be missed and remembered by all of us. You and I have lost too many babies this past year and the collective hurt is almost impossible to get over. I will be thinking of you (and Jerry) and Andy tonight.

Many of us have been where you are right now, and in our own way, we have to make our path out of pain. I found this poem long ago. It is called

The Bridge of Love


It takes us back to brighter years,
to happier sunlit days
and to precious moments
that will be with us always.
And these fond recollections
are treasured in the heart
to bring us always close to those
from whom we had to part.

There is a bridge of memories
from earth to Heaven above...
It keeps our dear ones near us

It's the bridge that we call love.

Author Unknown

May you return to this bridge from time to time to remember all the good that Andy has given you, and someday, when another kitty appears in your life needing so desperately someone to love him, may you find it in your heart to say hello and let him in.



Hugs (((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))

Dear Michele,

I am truly so sorry that Andy did not make it back home safely. It broke my heart to read the sad news. I hope you will accept my condolences. I am glad that your husband did actually find his body, so that you can grieve properly and begin to have closure. It is somehow worse to never know and to always have that one eye out looking.

Michele,

Rene told me about Andy yesterday. I am so sorry. But like you said, not knowing is the worst. You now have closure and can grieve and Andy is in a much better place happy and feeling no more pain waiting for you and Jerry at the Bridge. I will miss him because he was such an awesome, loving little guy who purred when you even looked at him. My heart goes out to both you and Jerry. I love you kiddo and if you want to talk, I am here.

Hugs,

Donna

I want to thank everyone for their support. It is just too hard right now to think about. I know I wanted to know what happened but knowing stinks too. I just wanted him to come home to me. I still can't believe it and I miss him like crazy. I know everything happens for a reason it just right now I don't know what the reason is.

Michele, I am so sorry about Andy. Being new to this place, I didn't know anything about him, but my heart goes out to you. I know all too well the pain of losing a loved kitty, but I'm glad you know what happened. It's hard not knowing, but it's just as hard knowing. I'll pray for you, your husband, and Andy. I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry about dear, sweet Andy. After so long of not knowing, the heartbreak of finding him killed is shattering. It hurts me to hear this, but know that he has crossed the rainbow bridge and is in a happier place.

Michele

here is a poem i have written in honour of your cat, Andy (i hope that's okay with you)
this poem is also written for any and all persons who have lost a beloved pet at one point in their lives.


~*~


"Days without you will remember the beauty of your Love,
the graces of your Spirit.

your Memory is with me through the tears that travel my Heart,
your Soul guides my grief toward Peace and gives every passing day the energy of your Life."


(my thoughts are with you)

Love,
kate.
