I hope you don't think I'm "spamming"....I'm new here, and posted this same link in the "Grief Support" section, but then realized that it would probably be more appropriate to post this under "Pet Memorials". I wrote a song entitled "Old Cat" for my cats Jimmy-Joe and Shortstop who are at the Rainbow Bridge, but the song is really dedicated to all old cats. I posted it on YouTube: I hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7C2kH2q-so

Thank YOU, Mayme! I'm glad that the song was meaningful to you. I'm sorry for the loss of your precious Sammy Kitty...It sounds like you shared a very special bond. Jimmy-Joe also had a heart condition and was a big boy (20 lbs. at his peak). He suffered a femural embolism very suddenly when he was 3 years old and spent a week in the hospital...He almost didn't make it. The vet told me that it was a congenital heart defect and that I shouldn't expect J.J. to live more than another year or so. Amazingly, he beat the odds and lived to be 15 (went to the Bridge 2 days after his birthday) although he never was very active. We are so blessed to have had these wonderful cats in our lives although it is so very hard when their time comes to leave us.

Dear Nancy,
Wow I am having many hard tears tonight. What a loving tribute to your beloved old cats (who are now young forever), who will always have a part of your heart with them. I love humans that cherish their beloved companions so much to show the world what they mean to us. That was special to show their photographs and memorial at the end.
Bless you and your beautiful Jimmy-Joe and Shortstop.
If only we could keep them by our side forever…but we will…
To all cats, who are all good.
Much Love, Tweeny and Rusty's Anna

Dear Anna, A friend on Facebook who provides foster care to cats and kittens lost a sick little one this evening, after a valient struggle for survival over the past few weeks. It's been an emotional roller coaster, and I couldn't sleep for thinking about it so I came to this website, only to find your sweet words in response to my song. Thank you so much! It's never easy to say goodbye, whether they've been with us for only a few weeks like my friend's foster baby, or for years as Jimmy-Joe and Shortstop were with me; they all leave their pawprints on our hearts. I hope you had many good years with Tweeny and Rusty. Our beloved fur friends are forever with us. Thank you again for your kind words. Love & hugs, JJ & Shorty's mom Nancy
