me this next tuesday...not by choice but by need to ease his pain and
problems. I hate this but it is really not good to let him suffer. He has
pancreas problems. Mobile vet will be here to take him away and he
will reside at the Rolling Acres memorial. Had picked him up as a feral
kitten in spring of 06, and he's a "little less" aggressive now.....Love you Beau....BeaPrincess 023.JPG
 

How heartbreaking, he's a beautiful boy. You were so kind to take him in as a kitten and love him all these years. You can find some comfort in knowing you gave him the best care and best life possible, he is blessed to have you. Many of us have had to cross this same bridge with our pets, it's never easy, but it absolutely is the right thing to do when they are suffering. They depend on us to make the best decisions for them, even if they are tough. Know that you're in my thoughts and I'm sending you love and warmth. Hugs to both you and Beau. 💜
 
Don't you dare bring tears to my eyes hawkdon. My current avatar is Lulu, we had to bid her farewell last October, the pain is still raw.


The Rainbows Bridge Poem

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together..

He's so beautiful. It sounds like you are choosing the kindest course of action. That is nice that the mobile vet will come to him. I wish I'd done that with my previous cat, I didn't want to put him thru the fear of going to the vet (he was always sure the vet was trying to kill him, and I didn't want him to be correct the last time), but now I realize I should have known to contact a mobile vet.
 
Poem For Cats
And God asked the feline spirit Are you ready to come home?
Oh, yes, quite so, replied the precious soul
And, as a cat, you know I am most able To decide anything for myself.
Are you coming then? asked God.
Soon, replied the whiskered angel
But I must come slowly For my human friends are troubled
For you see, they need me, quite certainly.
But don't they understand? asked God That you'll never leave them?
That your souls are intertwined. For all eternity?
That nothing is created or destroyed?
It just is....forever and ever and ever.
Eventually they will understand, Replied the glorious cat For I will whisper into their hearts
That I am always with them I just am....forever and ever and ever

So sorry about your Beau. Our cats let us know when they no longer have the will to live and we act accordingly. It is heartbreaking but we know we have given them all the love in our hearts. My thoughts go out to you.
 
I am so sorry, Hawkdon, for the loss of your Beau. He is definitely a beauty boy. My last cat looked almost exactly like him. Black and whites are so special. My thoughts and hugs for you.
 
I know how much it hurts and I am so sorry. He will wait for you at the Rainbow Bridge because he loves you too.
