My Emerald Girl

Beautiful Nakita is not in pain anymore. She will be missed but I am sure she is waiting for you.

I'd like to add this to little Nakita's tribute:

(Kass, I hope you don't mind...)

My heart is breaking for you, Kass. I'm at loss of words...

Nakita was definitely the most beautiful cat, and I liked her not just for her green eyes or beautiful coat, but for what she was like. You could tell how much she loved Rob, for example, just by the way she looked at him. You could tell how much she was loved and that she knew it.

I was just telling my boyfriend on Sunday that she's my favourite kitty.

Reading your prose about Nakita, because it truly is prose, brings to mind the lyrics I would sing to my Bear. He loved to be held and would put a paw on my face as I sang to him, even on that last day when he was so weak... This was our song, but I think it is appropriate for many who love the companions they've lost. It's a John Denver song, and makes me cry still.

You fill up my senses like a night in the forest,

like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain,

like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean.

You fill up my senses, come fill me again.



Come let me love you, let me give my life to you,

let me drown in your laughter, let me die in your arms,

let me lay down beside you, let me always be with you.

Come let me love you, come love me again.




May you find solace in your memories and know that you loved her best and did what was best for her. Do not doubt yourself, she would not want that.

Love and Hugs,
Jennie

I think this is amazing you do very nice work

What a lovely tribute to your precious baby Nakita. She was such a special cat.

Prayers uplifted for you in this time of loss. :(

Dear Kass,

You just don't know how much your Nakita meant to me. I've been sitting here trying to find the right words in between wiping the tears from my eyes...

I didn't often post, but every time I seen a thread about your special girl I just had to read it (and I must admit I always hoped to see pictures).

She was the kind of girl I would have loved to have. Not only was she beautiful, it was just the way you talked about her that let us all know what a treasure you had in her.

She will be truly missed by all of us here at Pet Talk.

Many (((HUGS))) to you.
Anna

Oh no... I'm so sorry, I just saw this today. Sending lots of gentle hugs your way. That was a beautiful tribute to sweet Nakita.

Rest in peace, beautiful girl. :(

How wonderful for Nakita to have such a wonderful mom and a warm, loving home. Soon your grief will be overshadowed w/beautiful memories that will comfort you as you heal.

Blessings,
Mary

Oh no i am only just seeing this now :(. Rest easy darling Nakita, watch over your Mama and Daddy.

I just wanted to say, once again, thank you to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers over the last weeks. I have read them many times and they have really been helping me put things in perspective - to deal with Nakita's passing and finally to move on.

I am still overwhelmed by all the messages and how Nakita influenced so many lives. She really was special and I can't imagine never having met such a wonderful spirit. I was so blessed to have her in my life - even for such a short time.

She lives on in all our memories and I am so very glad I came on these forums 4 years ago and shared her pictures/stories with all of PT. Love ya guys. I can't imagine where I would be without all your support!

I love you Emerald Girl - you will be in my heart forever and I will do my best to honour your life by making the most of mine.

what a touching tribute to Nakita....!!

ps. Is that poem written by our mayor Karen?? It is BEAUTIFUL!!!

I'm am so sorry. Your story made me cry. I can feel your sadness and pain. Putting a pet down is hard. I could tell Nakita was more than a pet to you... she was a daughter, a friend. You love her for her heart and soul. Not for her lovely emerald eyes, but for herself. I will light a candle in her memory.

I will light this candle in memory
of you, beautiful Nakita

Your love for Nakita will never go away. She will stay with you forever. She is at the Brigde now and on her way to Heavan. She is playing hard at the Rainbow Brigde with the other PT angels. I'm so sorry about your dearly loved Nakita :(

Dear Kass and Rob,

My heart sank when I saw this thread......

I must admit that, at first, my attraction to Nakita was simply because she was so GORGEOUS. BUT the more I got to know her, I realised that she was a very special girl, with a gentle soul (and those beautiful eyes were the window to that soul). She looked so wise, as if there was SO much going on in her head.

I'm so sorry for you loss. Dearest Nakita, I hope you are enjopying yourself at the RB, reunited with all the other PT kitties, and watching over your Meowmie and Daddy.

Still thinking of you, Kass and Rob.

Let me offer my belated heart felt condolances to you for your loss of that beautiful spirit that was your companion in life. I know your pain as I have been there too and know it well.. It is amazing how these little being in fur coats can have such a BIG inpact on our hearts and souls. She will always be with you in your heart, she will never leave it... (((((HUGS))))

It's been one month since you left us. It feels like forever since I snuggled with you and looked into those emerald eyes. Also, it's still hard coming home after work to a quiet house.

I'm working hard on moving forward with my life but that doesn't mean I miss you any less. The fact is, I miss you more than ever Emerald Girl. I hope you found your place in the sun.

Dearest Kass,

I can feel your sadness and wish there was something to say or do that would make the hurt go away.

Gentle hugs to you my friend, please be kind to yourself.

Betty

Oh Kass...
Nakita is looking down upon you from that sunny, warm spot that she found over the Bridge. I'm sure she misses you as well, but would want you open up your heart to the world again. I hope that Nakita is playing with my Bear and my and my dad's Tazzer, they so loved to play!
Take care, and big hugs to you and Rob.
Love, Jennie

6 months

So much has changed in our lives over that time. Yet, my heart still stands still every time I think of you. You brought such beauty, warmth and comfort into our lives and that is what I'm missing so much right now. You could always set my mind at ease with one look of those soulful eyes.

I miss you little one - you'll always have my heart.

Nakita misses you as well.Eor all the trips she has taken with the Pet Angel Army to Hawaii and the Orient she misses her home and visits at least once a week to see how you are. Shes sad that you are sad and wishes that she could let you know that she travelling the World and having a good time,
but like you Nakitas life will not be complete until she sees you again.
One Fine Day.

We may not have our feline friends forever, but we will always have memories to give us some comfort after they are gone. Nakita will always be with you in spirit....take care...

{{{{{hugs}}}}}

We think of Nakita often too.
I'm glad you didn't have her one less day than you did.
Forever cherished, Nakita

I also think of Nakita from time to time, she made a lasting impression on me, and my mother also mentions her occasionally as I always used to show her the photos of her when they were posted.
Nakita touched so many people's souls she's a true angel now, though everybody who saw her always knew that :)

I just want you to know that I think of the two of you from time to time and hope you are doing better life seems to carry on with or without the sweet souls that once touched us. But take comfort in knowing that you will once again meet up with her at the bridge. I too understand the longing that goes with missing them. Its almost been 4 yrs since my little Pricilla has passed and I still have times that I miss her tremendiously. I have my little Chloe and Paris that I count on day to day to fill the hole that she has left. They do fine in there mission but still don't replace the personality that Pricilla had daily. I just hope you are doing o.k. I would love to hear how you are doing and how your life has changed. Please know I do hope you and your husband are doing o.k. and that you are able to carry on even though I totally understand the longing you are going through. ((((HUGS)))))

I, too, think of Nakita often. :(

One Fine Day.

Dear Kass,
Thinking of you and hoping things are getting easier to bear. Hugs to you and Rob. I'm glad to hear that you're healing. It takes so long, but the memory of Nakita will never be far away.
Peace to you. Jennie

Kass,

I hope you're well and wanted to let you know I have been thinking about your recent post about Nakita. The pain in your words has once again grabbed my heart and it's taken too long to respond.

It so reminds me of how long it took me to accept the losses of my previous furbabies. Many things since have helped - especially having Eve choose us to be her purrents :)

Of significance in many of my past thoughts was the revelation that life with my RB babies has helped to make me who I am today and in many ways, those lessons haven't ever stopped. They taught me well and made me a better person. Everything I know to do for Eve and the wonderful love I share with her are largely the benefit of the many years of experience with August and Roxy. I am grateful for the time with them and even more grateful they taught me so much about myself.

Your time with Nakita is and will be infinite. She has given you a gift that will stay with you always and when you're ready, her gift will guide you to a happier time.

Great big hugs to you and Rob - I hope you are soon able to draw on your memories and smile. Nakita will, no doubt, be smiling with you.

One year ago today, my precious Emerald Girl passed away. We all fought hard to save her but it wasn't meant to be and her 4 years on this earth were cut way too short.

My heart was left in pieces and even now, a year later, I'm still feeling bruised from Nakita's sudden passing since she was my ultimate companion.....she was my heart.

So, as I keep her wonderful memories close at this time, I thought I would share the other thing I still have, her pictures. Hopefully the Photobucket program will work, it's the first time I'm using it:

Nakita Tribute

Even after a year, I wanted once again to thank all of you behind the scenes who helped Rob and I through her illness, passing and the grief that followed. You're all angels and we're so very thankful and honoured to know each and every one of you. Your actions, words and comfort helped us more than you know.

Kass, yes it works. What a wonderful tribute to sweet Nakita.:) Every time I'm at a cat show and I see a Russian Blue I always comment how I've never seen one as gorgeous as Nakita. She sure had the most beautiful emerald green eyes that I've ever seen.:)

She left you way too soon and I know that you're still hurting inside.:( I wish there was something that I could say to give some comfort. All I can say is that you will see each other again some day and I'm sure that she'll continue to watch over you and your new furkids. She'll continue to be missed but she'll never be forgotten. She was one in million. Please take care. ((((HUGS))))

To see her as a kitten...what a dear little girl! There are a few pictures where I see a happy kitty smile...she loved and trusted you both - what a 'shoulder cat'! :) You two were so totally committed to her, and she knew it.

Near the end, Kass, I recall you saying she gave you a look...that it was time, and she trusted you to help her then too. You and Rob know you did the right thing - and such a rich treasure and love as Nakita is never lost.

I hope she can give you some sign, if she hasn't already. How perfect that she had you two, and you had her.

Her life could not have been better.

Thank you for sharing the memorial pictures...{{{{hugs}}}}

Your Nakita was a very special beauty. A once-seen-never-forgotten kind of cat. I think of her often, and it is so lovely that you have so many beautiful pictures of her.

It is good to be able to look at them and remember her.

Nakita's tribute was beautiful. She is watching over you and Rob right now. You will all meet again someday.

A beautiful touching tribute to Nakita. I am sorry there are not words adequate enough to express my sorrow to you and for you.

Nakita was so precious and her memory lives on. Kass your tribute to Nakita is so special and resounds of love. Each photo tells a story.

Although a sad day for you in memory, it is also a reminder of the privilege in having known such an endearing soul as your little Emerald Girl.

Rest sweetly little one and let your mommy know your spirit is in her heart always.

Hugs, Betty

I can't imagine what it's like to lose your heart like that. 4 years was way too short, but she was well loved and lived her life to the fullest. Better than living a long life and never knowing a loving human touch.

God Bless, Nakita humans.

One Fine Day.

I can't say that all cats don't touch me in a special way, as they do. But, what I felt for Nakita, and the hurt of her passing, surpasses most. I am like a lit candle in Cincinnati, as she is never forgotten here.
