I've had a bit of an idea and I hope it has the desired effect.
I've been reading the thread "cranky day" and some comments about starting new threads with interesting stuff.
What I propose we do is design some pictures, to do with cats or TCS, then post them with comments, like why you drew that particular picture or what it represents. After all a picture certainly does paint a thousand words, and if you are like me and sometimes have difficulty expressing your words. A picture that you drew or created using the thoughts in your head, will certainly help. { I hope that made sense}
Anyway since this is my thread, I shall go first.
Below is a picture I created a while ago to use at the bridge because, I am no good at expressing sympathy.
So whilst I would like to say nice words but can't, I just let my picture say it all.
The sky in the background is my way of representing heaven/the bridge, flowers are always used at a funeral and I chose not to put an image of a cat because its not just cats that go to the bridge, other animals can too, next is the small heart and cross, well so as to not be seen as forcing religion onto anyone, its just to represent heaven again, however if one has no religious beliefs then they can picture the flames as the life of their pet still burning in their heart and the thorns can represent the pain that loss causes. Last but not least the words requiescant in pace which {if memory serves me right} is Latin for rest in peace, because even our beloved pets deserve to rest in peace.
