Goodbye my sweet Scooter Bug 9/21/1995 - 1/23/2010 - Photo# 47

[Scooter's Mom]

It's surreal. I knew taking him in to the vet today would have this result. I'm just so... lost. The tumor/mass they suspected in December was a reality. He was turning yellow (his eyes, gums, in his ears). I couldn't let him continue and suffer.

You were the one constant in my life for so many years. My divorce, moving to Arizona, losing my mom... you were my best friend. My only friend for a while.

I will never love another kitty like I do you. You were my scooter snugglebug.

I hope meme (my mom) was there to greet you. She loved you so much, her darling grand-kitty... be happy and wait for mommy. Some day I will see you again, and you will get to snuggle onto my shoulder and bury your nose in my hair like you so loved to do.

Forever,
Scooters Mom

[Pinot's Mom]

Godspeed to the Bridge, dear Scooter, kisses on your head for the journey. Send kisses to your Mom with a whisper on her cheek, she loves you and will miss you so.:love: {{{hugs}}} and peace.

[Karen]

Scooter Bug, handsome boy
Stripy heart-warming momma's joy
Rest in peace, dear, pain now is gone
And the love you gave to all on earth will continue on and on
I know you've found a comfy spot up
Up at the Rainbow Bridge
Send mommy purry rumbles in her dreams
And let her know you're well now, and at peace

[Catty1]

LES here.

You are healthy and a happy kitten at the Bridge, dear Scooter. Please visit your mom and give her a whisper-snuggle into her hair so she knows you are fine and happy.

Crystal...I am so, so sorry. All his days were filled with your love and his back to you. You will always have that special love in your heart.:love:

[caseysmom]

I am so sorry about Scooter, RIP scooter boy.

[momoffuzzyfaces]

I am so sorry! I know what it's like to have your heart ripped out by having to let your best friend go. Prayers for you!

Scooter Bug, sweetie, you left way too soon. You are safe now with no pain, playing with all our Rainbow Bridge babies. We miss you all so very much but until we all meet again, keep the love your mommy and family have for you close to your heart. :love:

I'm very sorry you have lost Scooter Bug. :( It's so difficult to say goodbye, but I believe he would have wanted you to let him go under the circumstances. Know that he enjoyed his time with you and that he is not in pain now.

Sleep softly, Scooter Bug - you were loved and will never be forgotten! :love:

((((hugs))))

[kb2yjx]

Despite the hurt and loss you feel right now, you know Scooter is not in pain any more(our Nicholas was a white cat that had jaundice, too(the yellow colour). He will always be with you, and loving you! Sleep softly, sweet Scooter Bug...

[Moesha]

My sincere condolences are being sent your way as well. I am so sorry.

[Medusa]

Crystal, it's so difficult to lose our beloved furkids but our heart kitty, well, that's the worst pain of all, isn't it? Be consoled w/the fact that you did your last act of kindness for Scooterbug and he loves you even more for it b/c now he's happy and free. My RB's Puddy, Peeka and Pidgie are there, greeting him and showing him the way to a better life until we all can be reunited again. RIP, dear Scooterbug. Touch in occasionally to let your mom know that you're doing just fine.

[Barbara]

I am so sorry. Scooterbug with his happy grin in your signature reminds me so much of my happy Tigris.
Don't forget that you had some time to say goodbye to Scooterbug, him snuggling and cuddling with you.
May he play with Tigris and Nevada in the RB tabby gang.
I'm in tears again.

[Queen of Poop]

I am so very sorry for your loss.

[Cataholic]

With all the recent sadness, I thought my heart couldn't break any more. I was wrong. I am so very sorry to hear that Scooter is gone, so very sorry.

[gini]

I am so sorry to read of your loss of Scooter Bug - oh, too much sadness and so many tears in our lives lately.

I share your grief and wish that I had the right words to make it easier for you. With as loving a baby as you had - he cannot be very far away from you - ever.

[emily_the_spoiled]

I am so very sorry to read about Scooter Bug.

God speed to the RB Scooter Bug. He and your mother are now waiting for the time you will join them, but mean while they are watching over you with great love in their hearts.

[phesina]

I am so very sorry.

Scooter Bug, you are so deeply loved and so deeply missed and grieved. Rest in peace, dearest kitty, as you wait for your beloved Meowmie to join you.. One Fine Day.

[katladyd]

2010 is not starting out very well, is it? I am not looking forward to any more tears. How many times can we cry? How many times can we look at the Cat Memorial thread and gasp, "NO! Not......!"? My heart is hurting for you all and my tears are starting again. I hope Scooter Bug is finding all the other PT angels and comparing stories of how loving and brave their people were, to let them end their pain. Know that Scooterbug and the others are all thanking you, and planning the best reunion ever!:love:

[Catlady711]

I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost Scooter Bug. :( I know how it feels to loose your best kitty friend. My Dusty will help welcome him to the bridge and show him around and introduce him to the other PT kitties waiting there also.

[Freedom]

Scooter lived shining and basking in your love for him. That will help him during the wait until you are back together. He spent that same time giving you a part of himself, to carry you through as well. that part of him lives on, in your heart, in your memories. You will feel him, and be close, even though you won't see each other for a time.

Hugs to you, Crystal. Scooter is now pain free, and that is a precious gift you have given to him.

[cassiesmom]

Crystal, I am so sorry for your loss. I was very sad to see this in the cat memorial today.

Thinking of you,
((((HUGS))))

[Laura's Babies]

You did the only thing you could do for him... That final act of love to end his suffering.

I know nothing we say can to end your pain and heartbreak... Just know we are here for you if you need us... (((((HUGS)))))

[krazyaboutkatz]

Crystal, I'm so sorry to hear about Scooterbug's passing.:( You did the right thing and now he's at peace with many other PT kitties at Rainbow Bridge. I'm dreading the day when I have to put my Sunny down.:( Our babies are never with us long enough. I'm sure he'll be watching over you and he'll live in your heart forever. RIP sweet boy.:(

[Taz_Zoee]

I am so sorry about Scooter. His look-a-like (Taz) will be at the bridge to show him around.

RIP Scooter Bug

[slick]

Not another one :(:(:( Oh this is so heartbreaking because the passing of my dear Max is still so raw.

Your precious furbaby has received the blessing of God and all His Kitty Angels and now little Scooter Bug is whole again. Play hard at the RB sweet one and rest easy knowing you will see your Meowmie again.

SM: You know you did the right thing but that doesn't make the pain any easier to bear. My :love: goes out to you and I cry as you cry.

{{{hugs}}}
luv slick xoxoxo:love:

[Scooter's Mom]

Thank you everyone.

My house already feels empty, even though there are 4 other critters around. Scooter Bug was truly MINE, from the moment he came to live with me around 5 weeks of age.

One morning about 7am, my ex-husband and I heard a knock on our door. It was our neighbor, Ann. And she was holding this teeny little kitten. I looked at David and said, "Don't you open that door!" And he did. I told him, "don't you take that kitty! We already have 3." And he did. The kitty was wandering around by the school bus stop, and Ann didn't want him to be left there... She had dogs and was slightly afraid of cats, but brought him to us because she knew we had a soft spot for them.

Scooter was originally named "no-name kitty" because we were not going to keep him. I also thought he was a girl (he hadn't developed very well yet). After a couple days, he became Fizgig (from a movie, The Dark Crystal maybe?). Then I noticed something odd. Every time I'd be sitting on my bed watching tv or reading, he'd get up on the foot of it and just inch his way over to where I was... he'd snuggle into my shoulder with me not even noticing and start purring. He'd bug the crap out of me. He named himself Scooter Bug. And he was my snuggle bug, my lovey bug.

When David and I split up, the one cat we were 100% sure I'd take was Scooter Bug. David said, "Scooter wouldn't survive without you." I truly believe that. He and I had a bond that was incredible. When I had him read by Nancy Efrusy, she said, "if he were human, your husband would have serious competition" and "his love for you borders on unhealthy." My love for him was just as great.

My home doesn't feel that way any longer. It feels like just a house. I lost my ability to have children b/c of a disease many years ago. Scooter Bug WAS my child. My sweet, loving, adorable, little white chinny chin chin boy.

I kissed him on top of his head after they said he was gone. I told him I loved him more than all the stars in the sky and I was so sorry I couldn't fix him.

This is where he was the happiest. Snuggled up on my shoulder.

I love you my sweet boy.

[Demi Is A Digimon]

Rest in peace adorable Scooter

You will be forever missed, and always in your owner's heart.
:love:

[jennielynn1970]

Oh Crystal, I'm so sorry to be reading this.

Sweet Scooterbug, be a good boy and wait for your meowmy at the Bridge. She loves you so much.

HUGS to you.

[jenluckenbach]

:(
The tears in my eyes make it hard to type.
I a SO sorry for your loss.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}

[AdoreMyDogs]

What a lovely, lovely kitty. I'm so deeply sorry for your loss. There are just so many wonderful folks here losing friends, it's very heart-breaking. Scooter Bug surely had a delightful welcome as he was eased from his pain. He was very loved and you can see it in that sweet face of his.

I hope every day brings you more comfort. You have my sincere condolences.

Have fun at RB, Scooter Bug.

[rosethecopycat]

Scooter had a fine life, being rescued so young and spending all his days being loved by you. He is your child, the bond cannot be broken by time or space.

Scooter let your meme take care of you and wait for your mommy.

One Fine Day.

[Scooter's Mom]

Dear Scooter Bug,
Today was the 2nd morning I was forced to wake up and have you gone. Going to sleep last night was hard, too... you and I always snuggled at night, especially. You always sat on my chest and put your head on my left shoulder... and now it's empty.

Mommy has to go back to work today... I just wanted you to know I'm always thinking of you and miss you so much. I am so grateful for the four months I got to spend at home with you because I was sick and couldn't work.

Watch over me today.
I love you my sweet kitty. :(

[Kirsten]

He and I had a bond that was incredible. When I had him read by Nancy Efrusy, she said, "if he were human, your husband would have serious competition" and "his love for you borders on unhealthy." My love for him was just as great.

...and I'm sure his love for you will not die, now that he passed on to the other side. He will love and protect you from there. :love:

Kirsten

[caseysmom]

This made me cry this morning, I hope your day gets busy enough to distract you for a bit. {{hugs}}

[jazzcat]

I'm so sorry to read this about Scooter. I know how you feel because even with five other cats here I still ache for Scout. She was my heart kitty as Scooter is yours.

Rest in Peace sweet Scooter Bug.

[smokey the elder]

I'm so sorry about Scooter Bug.

[CultureJunky]

I know how you are feeling, and I can only give you my thoughts and condolances...it does get better, and I understand the pain. Keep thinking of Scooter, and his spirit will help you to heal.

[Vermontcat]

I'm so sorry to hear that your sweet Scooter Bug has gone to the Rainbow Bridge.:(
Sending hugs your way.

[Scooter's Mom]

Thank you to my PT friend for the sweet angel. I won't name you in case you wish to remain anonymous to others - but I am so grateful for the kindness and thoughtfulness you have shown.

I took the angel to work and put next to my picture of Scooter Bug as a young kitty. He was about 2 1/2 in the photo.

What touches me the most is - the angel is holding the kitty the same way I always held Scooter Bug. He was never content to put his head on my right shoulder, only my left.

[Moesha]

What a thoughtful gift. Many are thinking of you during this difficult time. It is hard to know that, but those little tangible reminders can be very comforting.

Theres a special Opening for Our Awesome Angels at Bjs and this awaits Dear Scooter Bug.
We pray that hes happy with the selection.
And that you know that Scooter Bug with his Amazing Smiling Tabby Face will always be with you and that you will meet again.
One Fine Day :love:

[Scooter's Mom]

I picked up my baby's ashes tonight.

They are in a very pretty cedar box/chest... there is a red heart tag on the front where the lock is that says "Scooter Bug".

On the bottom, they put his full name and the date of his cremation.

I still miss him... and cry every day.

I hate the tumor/cancer/whatever it was that took him away from me.

[katladyd]

Our Tomas is in a lovely cedar box on the fireplace mantle. It is nice that his ashes are home, but it's not the same as having him here in the flesh. He was 21-years-old when he passed and my boyfriend had had him for all 21 years of his life. We still miss him, even though we love his new cats, Buddy and Mau Mau, just as much as we loved Tomas. I don't cry everyday anymore, Tomas has been gone about 18 months, but not a week goes by that I dont' cry some. It will get better, I promise you. Maybe having another baby to love and spoil will help. Maybe not. Only you can be the judge of that. My thoughts are with you and I hope you feel better very soon.

[Miss Z]

I am sorry I am late to this thread. :(

Scooter had a most wonderful life with you. Take comfort in that, and the many memories you have of him. My condolences for the hurt you are feeling at his loss. ((hugs)) :(

[Catty1]

More {{{{hugs}}}} Thinking of you.:love::love:

[Scooter's Mom]

It's been 4 weeks today. My heart still hurts knowing that I don't have my Scooter Snuggle Kitty...

I have to go back to the vet today. Puppies need their shots... it's going to be hard to go in... knowing that's the last place I held my baby.

[phesina]

Hugs and loving thoughts are being sent your way, Scooter's Mom.

[Scooter's Mom]

It's been 4 weeks.
Why haven't I had a single dream with my baby in it?

[Pinot's Mom]

That dream may never come. Scooter is in your heart forever; that's what counts. {{{{hugs}}}}

[Moesha]

It's been 4.5 months, and I still haven't had a dream with Morgan. I sort of dread when I do. I want him back so badly. My mom told me she had one the other night.

[moosmom]

Oh Crystal, I just now read this and am SO sorry for your loss.

I'm sure there are plenty of people like us who have lost a beloved pet who can understand what you're going through. I know I do.

RIP sweet, beautiful Scooter Bug. Know that you were loved, not only by your meowmie, but by everyone here at PT.

:love:

Moosmom and fur crew

[Nomilynn]

The dreams will come when your heart is ready; when it will bring you gentle joy instead of grief. He lives in your heart and your memories.

hugs and prayers for you. :love:

[kb2yjx]

In regards to post # 34(I think), I am sure glad your ex did not listen to you and opened the door...and into your life came the love of your life.....HUGS....it does get easier over time....have been thru what you are going thru too many times, and it never gets easier, because we love them so. Sandra

[katladyd]

Your heart will heal eventually. But until it does, it hurts so much! I still cry over you losing Scooter Bug, so don't feel alone. I know the bond you had with him because I have a :love: cat, also. I know how much it will hurt when he leaves me. Still, I know from experience, the pain fades with time. I am thinking of you and wishing you peace.

[Scooter's Mom]

Thanks ya'll.
I'm so sad that I haven't dreamed about him... he and I were so bonded that I was hoping I would.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Thanks ya'll.
I'm so sad that I haven't dreamed about him... he and I were so bonded that I was hoping I would.
I'm sure that you will in time. Last night I was dreaming about my cats and all of a sudden my RB Starr was there. He came up to me and was purring and very happy to see me as I was to see him. His weight was also back to normal and looked wonderful.:) I knew in the dream that he had passed on but it sure was great to see him again.:) I can't remember the last time that I had a dream about my RB Pepper though. My thoughts and prayers are still going out to you. Please take care. (((HUGS)))
