Daily Kitten Chat Forum » Purrs

1. 

   Hey, everyone, my father and one of his cats are in need of purrs, prayers and white light tonight.

   My dad's orange boy, Furrball, has been sick for awhile but has declined significantly over the weekend. He's not eating -- he just drinks a little water and lies around.

   My dad will take him to the vet tomorrow (Monday), and I strongly suspect the cat will be put down.

   This cat is the last of a trio of brothers who adopted us back in 1993 or 1994. I'm not sure how old they were at the time, but they were probably a year or less. He's been an outside cat his whole life, because he doesn't get along with my dad's two torties.

   My dad, who is almost 70, lives alone with the cats, and he's taking the likely loss of Furrball hard.

   Please say a prayer for my dad, and send purrs and prayers and white light to help Furrball on his journey to the Rainbow Bridge. Thanks.

   I'm praying for comfort for your dad and a smooth transition for Furrball. I lost three cats who I had for about 18 years all over the course of a year, and it was VERY painful, so I know what he is going through. :-(

   Thanks. His other two cats are both 16 and up, one has a thyroid problem and the other is healthy but showing signs of age.

   Sending purrs and white light to help Furrball on his way. And there will be a grey female called Mitzi waiting there for him to show him around (my Mum's recently departed 20yr old cat).
   And also sending comfort for your dad.

    Prayers and white light for your Dad and Furrball. If the kitty can stay a little longer, all is welland extra prayers never hurt; if his time has come, I will pray for a peaceful transition.

    Sending White Light for Furball & {{hugs}} for Dad.
    My Mum is missing having someone to talk to late at night and first thing in the morning. Older folks need furry friends.

    I don't know what my Mom and Dad would do without their pets. My prayers are with your Dad, Catherine.

    Awww, sending some hugs to MS and KK's Mum. Sad to lose a furry friend. I am sure her place feels very empty without Mitzi.

    Catherine, sending more hugs, prayers and white light for Furrball. If it is time to pass, may it be peaceful but if isn't her time just yet, enjoy those precious moments.

    Thinking of your dad and his precious Furrball. It's very hard.

    Just got an e-mail from my dad, saying Furrball had to be put down. Apparently he had progressive cancer.

    He's still got his two torties, Wicket and Maggie, but they are both 16 or over.

    Thanks for the purrs and prayers. Furrball has been a part of the family since I was 13 or 14.

    I'm so very,very sorry Cat for the loss of dear Furrball. Please give your Dad a BIG HUG from me & let him know my thoughts are with him.

    Furrball is now playing with the other babies at the bridge.

    I am so sorry Catherine!!! The loss of a pet is undesrcibable. It is loosing a family member.

    I Worked for a vet for over 12 years and it is something you never get use to nor should you have to.

    My prayers are with you, your father and the rest of the furries in the household.

    Catherine I'm so sorry. {{{Dad}}}

    Night night Furball
    Close your eyes
    Dream of chasing butterflies
    Basking in the sunshine
    Jumping up trees
    Exciting smells in a gentle breeze

    Sleep tight Furball
    Love you little friend
    I’m so sorry this is the end
    Thanks for the laughter
    Thanks for the tears
    Thanks for all the loving years

    God bless Furball
    Don’t be afraid
    I know that you can be brave
    Be peaceful in passing
    Enjoy what’s in store
    In furball heaven
    It won’t hurt anymore

    I'm sorry for your Dad too. It sounds like Furball was a real companion during his long life. Your Dad did a brave and kind thing in deciding to keep Furball from suffering. Hugs to your Dad.
