Edgar, my cat who turned 5 on Mothers Day, was killed by the neighbors dog. I am heart broken and lonely. He was my lap kitty, my never leave my side when I was sick kitty, my loverly kitty who always knew when i needed him and he never left my side. I still don’t know how he got outside and I guess I never will. He was neutered fairly young; but, he still had the desire to wander outside for about five minutes and that was all he wanted. Words can’t express my love for him, nor the sorrow in my heart knowing he will never sit in my lap again. He was in my lap almost every single night of the five years I was graced to have him in my life. I love you Edgar and I will miss you til the end of my days…. Especially Christmas….. the tree won’t be the same without you my dear friend.

I am so sorry to learn that Edgar had to go to the Rainbow Bridge. My sincerest condolences to you. Here is a poem I found for you:
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn’s rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die…

oh honey girl……..
There are no words of comfort……
My story of Bobbie
……the grandparents had come for a visit…left the front door open and Bobaloo had gotten out….
Coming back …I noticed the front door open…my heart sank…it was around 4 in the afternoon….out of the corner of my eye …I spotted a little brown flash coming around the corner in the street…right behind her a coyote…I started running towards her screaming run Bobbie run!…she was running as fast as her little legs would allow…just as I reached her…the coyote stretched out and tripped her ..biting her in the tummy….like a crazed banshee …I started hitting him and screaming no! no! no!…the coyote dropped my little brown muppet…I picked her up in my arms…holding my hand over her open tummy…trying to stop the flow of blood that seemed to be everywhere…..she was in so much pain…she was grrrrrring in a very strange low voice….I whispered to her it’s ok honey Mommie has you …go see God my little one…she stopped breathing…
as she lay limp in my arms I cannot tell you the feeling that came over me… I am sorry to say I had experienced it before when my child breathed her last breath….horror mixed with unspeakable sorrow…a finality not wanting to recognize…
I have been told adults under stress have nightmares…
That night I dreamt of my beloved little furry friend….she was running through a field of yellow flowers …chasing a butterfly….there was a smile on her face…yes truly….
The next morning…I couldn’t believe what I had dreamt…a little of the sorrow left my heart …to be replaced with a little more faith and a lot less anger directed at God….
May Edgar…all of our loved ones be curled up together….
Love you …
