Goodbye Sophia

[Glacier]

Sophia passed away in the wee hours of this morning. She had been fading for several days. She quit eating thursday morning. She was hiding in the closet when i got home from work. I was going to take her to my vet today to release her from her failing body. She decided to go on her own. She always did like everything her way, in her time. I will miss her bossy little self.

The first time I met Sophia, I pulled her out of a cage in shelter. Despite a horribly painful mouth, she nuzzled into my neck purring her heart out. I never put her back in that cage. Til her last breath, her favorite spot was as close to my face as she could get. Sophia was not a lap cat, she was a face cat. She died curled up on my shoulder, her cheek pressed to mine. She was my purring scarf; I'm not sure how I will get to sleep without her.

Goodbye Sophia.

God bless you, Sophia, and may you rest in peace. What a fine loving life you have shared with your devoted Purrson.

Deepest sympathy to you, Glacier. Sophia is healthy and whole again, at the Rainbow Bridge, where she will greet you and welcome you home, One Fine Day.

I'm so sorry, TamaraLyn. Sophia was such a pretty girl; and who doesn't like a bossy cat? I'm glad for you both that she was able to be in her favorite spot on your shoulder and pressed against your cheek. I'm sure that it was a comfort to you both. RIP sweet Sophia and peace to you, TamaraLyn.

I am so very sorry to read this. Having a neck cat myself, I can understand your loss perfectly. May she be forever loved as the best scarf kitty ever.

I am so sorry about Sophia- but I am sure she preferred to go by her own decision.

[Freedom]

Awww, I am sorry for your loss, but clearly Sophia did things her way - snuggled next to her HuMom. I know it's hard, it always is. RIP Sophia.

Like Ellie / Pomzu, I worry about you, Tamara -- its' been quite a year for you in terms of pet losses.

[finn's mom]

My mom and I talked today about you and your family. We both send our love. Sophia was thought of today even by people who have never met her. xoxo

[prechrswife]

I'm so sorry...:(

[Queen of Poop]

As I said on Facebook much earlier today, I am so sorry for your loss. Miss Sophia, had to do things her way, right up to the end. How safe she must have felt, cuddled up with you, ready to make her journey to the bridge, knowing all the time that she was so loved.

Glacier, I am so very sorry for your loss. Sophia sounds like she was a very special kitty. Do know that when one has been truly loved by a cat, one has been blessed, indeed. Love never dies and Sophia still loves you and is waiting until One Fine Day when you will meet again and she will assume her rightful place, next to your cheek.:love:

[sasvermont]

I am sorry to hear that another one of your dear friends has moved on to RB. It is a heart breaker for sure.

It sounds as though Sophia was ready for her trip and it was just a matter of her letting go.

I hope your heart heals quickly.

Sas and her lucky campers :love::love::love::love:

RIP always Sophia! Hugs to you Glacier.

Bless you for having given Sophia a wonderful life with you. She just simply shed her painful body while she waits for you to join her someday.
My heart goes out to you in your painful loss.

[Bengalz]

Sleep sweetly Sophia - your work here is done. Visit your meowmie sometime - she needs your sweet face to make her heart heal.

I too had a face kitty who would lay on my shoulder holding my paw in hers and purr me to sleep at night. The memory is always with me.

My sympathies to you and Stuart and all the kids - life changes much too quickly sometimes:(:love:

[ramanth]
