Pat, I'm so sorry for your loss. You've been such a faithful and dedicated mommy and Patrick knows. You're in my thoughts during this very difficult time.

I am so sorry. I couldn't help but tear up reading this post. It made me think of the cat I grew up with, Bonkers. When he passed away at 16, my dad layed him on a soft blanket by the back door while he prepared a resting place in the back yard. I walked in to find my younger sister (probably around 8 at the time) sitting by Bonkers, petting his little head. The sweetest and saddest picture. As everyone has said, I know he will be watching over you and all your other furbabies.

Pat, I'm so sorry you lost your special boy.


He sounds so courageous and special, and I'm sure he will be missed greatly. You gave him a great gift of a sweet and peaceful end to a long and happy life.

RIP sweet Patrick.

I just went back and looked at Patrick's cute baby pic! http://www.thecatsite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=74212
What an absolutely adorable kitten! I am so so sorry for your loss! I wear a black kitty necklace when I am mourning the loss of a kitty here, and I will wear it tomorrow in memory of Patrick.

There are not words to express my sadness for you. Please know that you and Patrick have been in my thoughts and prayers! Thank you for letting us know him a little through your posts!

Thank you everyone...your words are very comforting, it means a lot to me. Patrick would, of course, expect all this attention. He truly had a presence about him. My ever so sweet

Patrick has made many people love him, even without ever having met him in person. Your love to him flowed with every word you have written and continue to write about him. He will never be far from you, Pat. His spirit has bonded with yours, forever.

Pat, I am so, so sad for you, and know how very difficult it is, to have to make that final decision. I had to do this last year, was mourning this fact and posted here. I remember your saying that I did the kindest thing, when my dearest little Spike was suffering, to have enough love, to help him on, to where he'd be in no pain anymore. Your words gave me strength and comfort, along with the kindness of others here too, in a time, when I thought there was no comfort to be found....
I wish you comfort now, in knowing your Dear Patrick is in such a good place now, after living with all the love you gave him, during his life here on earth. He will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge, someday, and you will be together again. I wish you strength in this most painful time.

oh Pat!!! I am so so so so so very sorry. NO words can express my sorrow over this my friend and dear Washington neighbor.
I know how much Patrick meant to you and the extremely close bond you had. But what happenes when that bond on earth as we know it is broken, is that it takes on a different property, and you WILL see him, you WILL feel him again and you will know when that happens.....he'll be right over your shoulder, I promise, I really do. My dear, after Freddie's leukemia I would see him everywhere and I felt him every now and then. Sasha would look down the hall peering at something I couldn't see.....remember when I told you the neighbors called to say Sasha was having quite a conversation in the backyard with absolutely nothing? It was Freddie. I have no doubt you will know when Patrick is about. It is hard to grieve it all out, because he was so much a part of you....and only time can heal this. You are a very strong, loving, spiritual woman and have been a wonderful friend to me and my kits in all my times of loss. Now we are here for you.
Namaste - Peace
Love and hugs and comfort, always
Elizabeth, Eric, Sasha, saba, Sandy, Freddie RIP, SiSi RIP never forgotten.

Aw, Pat, I'm so sorry. I wrote a message some hours ago, but the computer ate it. The way you took Patrick to all the other kitties, and let him smell the fresh air was just what we did for Smudge. I hope you felt the incredible peace that finally was brought to him. It's hard to describe, but it's worth having to make the decision. I know he's at the Bridge with all our beloved pets. Smudgie will play with him and give him lots of purrs and headbutts. I'm sorry, but he's no longer suffering.
Hugs, Kim.

Theres a little boy over the bridge right now, free from anymore pain and suffering, playing with the butterflies and playing chase with all his new friends that he's made.

His name is Patrick
. Have fun over over at Rainbow Bridge Patrick until you see the ones who loved you again
