just to let everyone know that my cat died earlier today. 20 years old... I'll post my tribute picture later. John

My condolences. We lost two cats last year and one the year before. It's always hard to lose a pet, but at least you can have the solace the s/he lived a good, long time.

I am sorry to hear that John. Loss of a loved one is never easy. 20 years is a long time to have a cat, lots of memories at least.

My symapthies, losing any friend/pet is hard, but especially after so many years. :o( AS

Oh John this is so sad, I'm very sorry to hear your news. Catlin

You have my sympathies. I have been there and understand.

I am really sorry to hear that you have lost your friend/pet. But you can have some comfort in knowing that you took really good care of your cat, and gave it the love and attention it needed being that it lived to be 20 years old. I certainly do understand your sorrow. Losing a loved pet is synonymous to losing a family member. In fact our pets that we love so dearly we consider a family member. I will hold you up in my prayers John that you can have peace with the loss of your friend/pet. Wade

I'm so sorry for your lost. I know how difficult it is when they are a member of the family for so long. I hope it was a peaceful passing. A prayer for you in yuor time of sorrow....

Our thoughts are with you. We know that when you loose a pet, it is so hard. Pets hold a special part of our souls, they love us unconditionaly and we love them back. We know how you feel and just know we are thinking of you and your loss. Sharen and Mike

Pets are really hard to lose, esp when they become a star in the sky after so many years. Remember the fun times you have.. she/ he will always be there that way. - rosie

Having lost way to many beloved pets I feel for you. I hope that you have fond memories to look back on. My sympathies, Ang

So sorry to hear that John. It's never easy when part of the family moves on.

Sorry to hear of your loss John. I'm very fond of cats, big and small.

Sorry to hear this, we lost a cat last year and my daughter is still upset about it :(

Awwww Burgi, that's terribly sad news, my sympathies go out to you. That cat sure lived a long time, obviously a tribute to the good care and love given it throughout its long life time.

My sympathy for Your huge loss. " Even smallest cat is a masterpiece " - Leonardo da Vinci My beloved cat Nappi ( Finnish name for Button ) past away in last january in age of 14. Still daily I think her. Not it. Cat is not a pet, it's companion.

I'm sorry to hear about your cat. Mine had to be put to sleep recently (he was 21), so I understand what you are going through. I'm sure your kitty had a wonderful and loving life with you. Go to one of the rainbow bridge sites like http://www.rainbowbridge.com , or the new version of it at http://www.indigo.org/rainbowbridge_ver2.html , and remember that he will always be with you in your heart.

My sincere condolences over the loss of your pet. I have a wonderful cat myself, so I know how hard it would be to suffer that great loss as well.

Zhann..that is such a wonderful prayer. Tears come to my eyes each time I read it.

many hugs
Helen
