Over the Rainbow Bridge R.I.P Timmy - December 23, 2010

I was at work and someone kept calling my cell phone but not leaving a message. It was annoying me! Finally when I was off work around 1:30 I answered. The voice on the phone sounded nervous, she asked whose number it was, and told me she had some bad news, she had hit my cat. I said "oh my god! which one?" and she said a grey and white kitty. I thought it was Horace, but I could've sworn I had let her out to potty then back in the house.

When I got home, just as the nice lady had said, my kitty was laying by my front porch. It was not Horace, it was Timmy, the cat I'd had the longest,who showed up out of nowhere covered in fleas and dirt, and had been through several moves and lots of ups and downs with me. I screamed, "oh no! Not my Timmy!" I picked him up. He just looked asleep, except for a drop of blood on the corner of his mouth.

I paced back and forth, not believing it, not knowing what to do. Timmy was an inside/outside cat. Mostly he wanted to sit near me and when he was out, he'd roll around on the sidewalk or porch and stretch and bask in the sun.

I finally dug a hole under the big tree in my backyard. October 2008 I had to bury Angel there after my husband's dog attacked and fatally injured her. In the summer of 2010 my cat Sanford (a rescue who had been feral) mysteriously died and he was buried there. I picked a perfect spot for Timmy. It was snowing outside, I had snot running down my nose and tears streaming down my face. I wrapped my Timmy in some of my snowflake flannel pajamas and laid him to rest.

My Christmas was ruined, i didn't want to see or talk to anyone. I miss my boy. Why does God have to let bad stuff happen when it should be the happiest time of year?

Rest in Peace my little buddy.... I hope you are enjoying the green grass, sunshine , and pet friends over the rainbow bridge.

Dear Arnold (and your humans), thank you for the condolences. It's really nice in Kitty Heaven. I get to play with Angel and Sanford, and I am still looking for my first brother Astro. I miss my mommy soooo much, and I also miss my little buddy Gracie who I loved to lay with in front of the fire. I hope you had a Merry Christmas. I think you look really nice in your hat!!!!! Love and Purrs, Angel-Timmy

I'm so sory that Timmy has journeyed up here to the bridge, but he is going to learn how to be a pawsome guardian angel and he'll watch over you. I'll be sure to show Timmy around the place!

We are so sorry that Timmy has joined us far too soon. My furangels and I will welcome him also. Our mom sends her love to you and please know she understands how you are feeling right now, as many Catster mommies do. She sends hugs to comfort you and we are sprinkling angel dust to help Timmy's fursibs during this time too.
Love, Prayers and Hugs
