Katie and I went to the vet today. FIP was the diagnosis. She was also starting to lose stability in her hindquarters. We had 14 great years together. In the end I stared into her eyes, told her I loved her, and let her go to sleep. I couldn't do anything less for my quiet and shy little girl. She always knew exactly when to hop up for a cuddle.

When I left the vet's office with her there was a plume of smoke or clouds shooting straight for heaven. I think that was her soul going home.

We buried her under the grape vines in a quiet space.

 

May the angels tuck you under their wings and God keep you. I love you little girl. The only cat that Alex did not chase and treated with the dignity that all cats think they deserve.

They will not go quietly,

the cats who've shared our lives.

In subtle ways they let us know

their spirit still survives.

 

Old habits still make us think

we hear a meow at the door.

Or step back when we drop

a tasty morsel on the floor.

 

Our feet still go around the place

the food dish used to be,

And, sometimes, coming home at night,

we miss them terribly.

 

And although time may bring new friends

and a new food dish to fill,

That one place in our hearts

belongs to them. . . and always will.

Via con Dios, Katie.

When I left the vet's office with her there was a plume of smoke or clouds shooting straight for heaven. I think that was her soul going home.

 

She closed her eyes and felt the rushing air,

The whispered secrets of her ebbing tide.

Angelic fingers gently brushed her hair.

Her errant spirit fled, her body died.

 

Now what majestic visions fill her view,

What brilliant stars to light her on her way.

Her soul set free, in lofty spiral flew

Leaving behind a useless hulk of clay.

 

Winging her way across celestial heights,

Traveling onwards in a heavenly sea,

Marveling at the wonder of such sights,

She claims her portion of Eternity.
