Theres a new Tubby Angel at The Rainbow Bridge

[catmandu]

As my Tubby 2passed on, probably in the morning.
He was stretched out so peacefully, when I petted him to have some Temptations, and realized he was cold.

Like BJ , he never showed a sign of being ill, and was having dinner.
With Shemp and Miquelito and he looked fine when I saw him drinking from the water bowl about 3.
Theres Two Tubbies for the Mandarin tomorrow.
Nugget and Karina will be glad to see thier fellow Porch Cat.
I will have to wait until I see Tubby at The Rainbow Bridge to give him his treats.
One Fine Day.

Oh, no! What a shock!

He must have been needed at the RB to rescue any kitties that were having trouble finding their way home.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

OMG, Gary! How sad and what a shock for you! I'm glad he went peacefully, though. :(

I'm so shocked and saddened that I don't know what else to say.

RIP sweet Tubby2. I'm sure you have already been greeted by Tubby and he's showing you all the ropes of the RB. :(

[jenluckenbach]

OH NO!!!!!!!!!! I am so sorry to hear this. :( :(

RIP Tubby 2.

[Queen of Poop]

Oh my goodness. So sorry for your loss.

[Killearn Kitties]

Oh what a shock! Have you any idea what happened to sweet Tubby 2? :(

I'm so sorry. Rest in peace, Little One.

[Tubby & Peanut's Mom]

I'm still in shock so I had to go look at past pictures of Tubby2 to see if I could see any signs of illness in him. Other than not being very....tubby ;) ...he looked very healthy - shiny coat, bright eyes... I can't imagine what took him so quickly. :(

But in the process, I found some great pictures of Tubby2, and Gary, I hope you don't mind if I repost some of them here.

[Laura's Babies]

LES here! I wasn't at all expecting this... I am so sorry Gary, I know you are heartbroken and probably in shock.

He didn't suffer, he went quick... Thank God for that.
He had a wonderful home and knew he was loved...Thank God for that!
He had a lot of friends, feline and human, he was loved....

((((((Gary))))))

[Jods]

I am so sorry for your loss :(

[Zippy]

I am so sorry about Tubby2.
RIP Tubby2

[catmandu]

Thank You for that tribute Tubby and Peanuts Mother.
He was on the thin side, although there was always food about for him.He never showed any signs of illness.
He loved his Science Diet Canned, and ate his share last night with a bit of steak.
I couldnt guess what took hy Hero.
I had forgotten his rescue of Pouncierge.
They loved to wrestle with him so much.
Now there will be Two Tubbies when I dine out.
And I will have to wait to see My Hero.
One Fine Day.

Hugs, Gary. What a beautiful boy he was! And a gorgeous Angel he is!

Tubby 2 was so good at search and rescue that he was personally recruited for the Angel search and rescue squad.

Oh, Gary. I am so sorry for the loss of Tubby2.

[Lizzie]

Gary - I am so very sorry that you lost your Tubby2; it must have been a tremendous shock for you to find that he'd just slipped away. How lovely, though, that he went through his usual enjoyable activities before being taken so quickly. And he had a good life once he came to you, so he will rest very peacefully.

[AbbyMom]

[Sonia59]

What a shock :(

I am so sorry to read this, Gary. Tubby2 had wonderful time with you, and he left very peacefully. He is now with all the cat angels and he is already playing hard at the RB ;)

[prechrswife]

I'm so sorry for your loss... :(

[kilbarchancats]

I am truly sorry and shocked to hear the news of Tubby 2. What a blessing that for the last few months of his life he was safe, well-fed, warm, comfortable and enjoyed companionship and love, you should take comfort from that.

I would like to say that I always so much enjoyed seeing the pictures of his sweet blackie face - he reminded me so much of my Angel Charlie, who was a handsome blackie boy too. I'm sure they're both getting on like a house on fire. And, who could forget the drama of Pouncierge's safe return to the Hotel. Tubby 2 is forever our Hero. Max, Candy and Tom will miss their handsome pal

[Pawsitive Thinking]

Oh Gary I am sorry to read about Tubby 2. Love and kisses to all at the cat hotel

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

Oh no Gary, I am so sorry that Tubby2 passed away... :( . It must be such a shock to find a "cold" cat.... :eek:
I think Tubby 2 was called to the RB to welcome Gina's 3 newbies!
Play freely at the RB, dear Tubby2!!

hugs to you, Gary!!
