I am so very sorry to hear this!

Horatio is your kitty angel now, always with you and Gema.

You and Gema are absolutely the best parents any cat could possibly have, and you took in little Horatio when he was just a tiny baby. A tiny baby who was too thin and sick to survive on his own. He found you, he was guided to you, because you gave him a chance to live, and live in a home full of love.

As Mary Anne said, he was taken from you because it was his time. God needed a kitty-angel to comfort another soul, but his love will always come back to you and Gema.

to you and Gema, and please be gentle with yourself.

Rigel, I'm so very sorry.
You were a good father to Horatio; you gave him a chance to be healthy and happy and loved.
My very deepest condolences to you and Gema.

You cannot live your life as "would have" or "should have," and the facts remain... you are WONDERFUL parents, and Horatio had a wonderful life and a happy home because of you. His life was cut short, but it takes away nothing at all from the love and care you gave him.





Sweet Horatio

Together, the two of you "fixed" each other. You both had purpose and the love that had laid dormant in your heart was awakened. Perhaps Horatio has now to find another broken person. It was his time to go and he knows because of the deep love you developed for him, that because of his presence in your life (however short it was) there was a reason behind it and you will never forget him or the lessons he taught.

Give Gema a gentle hug from all of us here and be kinder to yourself Rigel. I am sure there is another Horatio waiting around the corner someday in need of that special love YOU carry now in your heart.
I could not have said it any better than the posts I've quoted.

Rigel, you are an amazing man, Gema is a beautiful kind woman. Horatio had nothing but the best treatment from you both, noone could ask for better parents.

Horatio, please look in on Rigel and Gema

This tragic accident was not anyones fault Gema.


Horatio was blessed the day you and Rigel opened your hearts and home to him.
I know from my own experience with loss, that the bond of love we share with our furbabies can never be broken.
Horatio will always be a part of your loving family.
In time you will come to know that.


As you grieve for your beautiful boy I will be holding you near my heart Gema.

Rigel & Gema, I am soo sorry my friends.
I can't imagine how sad you both must feel without your sweet little Horatio there right now
Please take comfort in knowing that you both gave him a wonderful home, a full tummy, and a little life full of love while he was in your care

I can hardly type through the tears. I'm so very sorry. What a shock this must have been to you both. These things happen and you cannot blame yourselves

I am praying for Horatios soul. I am so terribly sorry. We do all we can for our kitties, but sometimes it is out of our hands.

God bless you and I know that Horatio is watching from a distance. Still loving you and feeling your love for him.

I'm so sorry for the untimely and shocking loss of your little Horatio. Terrible things happen and there is no sense to it.

I hope in time you can take comfort in the thought that you gave him love and care and did your best for him. It's certainly not your fault that he had an accident.

RIP Horatio.

Oh no. How terrible for you. I'm so sorry this has happened. I guess Horatio was needed at the Bridge. I'm so terribly sorry, my heart is breaking knowing your pain.

Love and hugs from me and mine.

Horatio

Rigel, I am so sorry for you and your family. I know you will but please don`t beat yourself up over this. It was a tragic accident and nobody was to blame.

Praying for you and your wife


Rest In Peace sweet Horatio

Couldn't put it any better than Lei and Katie and many others, but must give you my own many mega
